and Revenues and Board of Education of
Wayne County Georgia,
JESUP, 3A„ AUG. 29, 1907.
The cause of local taxation for
schools is the cause of intelligence
against ignorance, the better
training of the generations that
are to rule in the future, the de
velopment ot a better citizenship,
the attainment of a higher intel
ligence and the consummation o
a better government aud state.
Our readers are again urged to
notice the advertisement of the
Bessie Tift. College, of Forsyth,
Georgia. This is one of the lead
ing female colleges in the stale,
and under the Presidency of Dr.
Jackson, has attained great suc
cess. Wo know of no place that
we can recommend more highly
to those who have daughters to
educate than this excellent insti
tutiou.
The corn crop of Wayne Coun.
ty, it is said in all sections, is the
best that has been raised here
The cotton crop is most promis
ing on every hand, not only in
yield, but also in prices. Surely
this period of prosperity should
make all our people not only more
thankful to Him from whom all
blessings flow, but also more lib
ed towards every question of
progress, educationally, morally,
spiritually and financially.
The Sentinel desires to congrat
ulate the towns of Screven and |
Odum upon the tact that they are
now incorporated under the ■
laws of the State ot Georgia ■ j
Both places are growing and ;
prosperer .; both have sweated
some o' : iir best men to inaugur
ate the; i oca I forms of govern
moot; and there is no reason why
both towns should not now take i
on a new energy, new life, new
growth, and a newer prosperity j
aud soon rank with the progress
ive towns of South Georgia. ;

On the front page will be seen
synopsis of t.he report of the cou-i
dition ot the state educational
speaking, for the year, 190b. This
shows that over 63.18 per cent, of
the children between the ages of 5
and 18 attended school at all. :
Doubtless the average attendance
was less than 50 per cent. And
the most deploring fact is that
the entire state, by state taxation,j
by local taxation, and bv money
raised otherwise spent only 98
cents per capita of the population
for the support of the common
schools. This is less than the
brush , , states out ... West , that .» .

should come out from ihat.

The consolidation of all the tax

the corporate assessments, as re

ftl ghow ^ total iax value of
Georgia property to he over $70),
000,'KX). As gratifying as this ap
P«af 8 , it being the highest mark
ever reached by the state, it is a
deplorable condition that in order
to come at the true value of Geor
gia property, one must multiply
this figure by at least 4. If all
kinds of property in the state
were given at a true valu» we
would have the lowest tax rate in
the Union, aud still not be forced
to face a deficit as we now do, aud
in all probability for the next few
years, will have to continue. Oh !
that some of our great statesmen
would have for a few years back
bone enough to overcome the dis
honesty conservatism that exists
among those who return their
property for taxes, and place our
] tax laws upon that basis of equity
j and justice where all would share
their just burdens of tbs state
alike!
Ten years in Bed
“For tea years I was confiued
to my bed with disease cf my
kidueys,” writes K. A. Gray, J. P.
of Oakville, Ind. ‘It was so 80 -

I best medical skill available, but,
could get no relief until Foley’B

me. It has been a Godsend to
