THE JESUP SENTINEL. ---- Pnbiiohed Thursday , =7 at every Jeattpj A r ayne /ou uty__eorgia.—. BEN MILIKIN – SON, Prop’rs. rTmTmILIKIN tTbTh’aRTIG, Editors – Publishers. ~~ Entered at- the Poet Office at .Tesnp, Oa., as Second Class Mail Matter. Official Newspaper of the Sheriff, Ordi nary, Board of Commissioners of Roads 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 .» . sage are vet dotted with the redsknis are spending, bureh Georgians j should come out from ihat. Don't accept a cough cure that vou may be told is just as good as Kenedy's Laxative Cougn Syrup. quim ^difference^ Kenedy's t Laxative o Cough n „.h 'tvrnn oyrup acts acts ce”t- ge..t ly upon the bowels and clears the whole system of coughs and colds, It promptly relieves inflamatiou ef the throat and allays irrita t‘^old by Jesup Drag Co.

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!
