The girl who works—God bless her. She is brave and active,
She is not too proud to earn Ler own living or ashamed io be caught
at her daily task. Sbe smiles at you from behind counter or desk.
It is an honor to know this girl—to be worthy of her regard. Her
hands may be stained by dish washing, sweeping, factory grease or
printing lok, but it is an honest and helping hand. It stays misfor
tune from names: it is our shield which protects many a folorn little
family from almshouse and the asylum. —North Georgian.
“Whooper” Alexander criticises Gov, Brown for the failure cf

confronted with the evidence of open rebellion against the Law io
Chathim County and after a personal investigation in Savannah and
consultation with its authorities, he failed in making any effort to
change the conditions or enforce the Law. Where was “Whooper”
then? The Governor has not been given any additional powers, Ll e
law is the same, the offence the same—why pillory Governor Browr,
to whom thus violation has not been presented directly, when you
condone this ornission in Ex-Governor Smith who was face to face
with the open defiance of the Law.
: The public generally will endorse the action of the County Scho J
Board in engsginge an eflicient teacher in agriculture and dairyiog for
the Rural Schools, Practical education is the main need of our rural
population —to know tie value of oue natural resources and how to
develop them. Too much importancg cannot be given the develop
ment of our agricultural interests. We are dependent solely upon its
success. The city can only grow as the country develops—intelligent
use of our soii and climwate will widen the -cope of profitable pro
duction on the farn. K lucation w its practical application finds its
inspiration in the teaching ot practical methods of making the best of
our opportunities, The Board of Education is to be congratulated
upop the grasp of its duties to the caildren of the farmers, This ad
ditional expense is one of the best nvestments you could have made
and a direct beaefit will acerue from it to every farmer in the County.
Barnstorming At The Capital.
[From the Dalton Citizen,]
Is it possible that we have come upon days so fraught with evil that
a session of the legislature cannot be held that begins with the work of
constructive legislation and ends with it?
There are now before the people real, live, burning questions, but they
are not being given any attention by the legislature. The abolition of the
fee system in all branches of the government and the biennial sessions
bill are the two most important matters before the house, and yet the
assembly is likely to adjourn without passing either of them.
But the political opportunist, backed up by a morbid sentiment, with
a desire to legislate morals and manners into people, are working, fussing,
blowing and fanning over the Tippins bill, a bill that when written in the
statute books will do more harm than good, and one that its advocates
know the governor will veto. Alil of the time is wasted. but the dear pec
ple are paying the expense, and the politicians are winning the enconiums
of Ihe fanatics, and looking forward to the time when they will reach
fame and fortune over a road fraught with insincerity, hypocrisy and de
ceit.
But alas! Show us a man whoever landed anywhere worth while by
such a course. We want to see him, and when we do, we will show you
a hundred good, honest brave hearts that, by patriotic devotion to duty
truth and purity, have reached heights undreamed of by the miserable
sycophant who thrives on strife and bellows loud about the woes of the
people as a lesult of exercising their individual rights.
The present legislature has a splendid opportunity to accomplish real
good resuits. Will it pass the bi-ennial sessions bill, the anti-fee system
bill and the income tax bill? Will it do anything for the underpaid and
overworked school teachers, and will it do anything to encourage gocd
road building in the state?
We fear these healthy, much needed measures are not productive
of enough noise and adulation from the galleries to be attractive to the
majority of the members of the legislature.
: We shall see.
