JAMES HOUSTON, Clark and Treasurer. Pompky’b Island, Nov. 7, 1881. Mr. Editor: Wo bavo for years been trying to keep our business to our selves, for our father, gave us years ngo this piece of nilvico, which wo have not uutil now disregarded: “Let tho world know ns little of your busi ness as yon can,” but wo see by your paper tUat there is a saw on exbibi tion at Atlanta that eat, at No. C, M. A D. It. 11., 179,990 feet of lumber iu less than fifteen hours, and iu a re cent issue of your paper a letter sign ed “Circular Saw," which states that his mill nctually out, iusido of eight hours, 982,000 feet Now this may appear improbable to sotno few inex perieuced ones, but not in tbo least to tboso wbo keep up with tbo times nud have some mill experience. Wo have an unpretentious snw mill which wo keep running, but not with steam, for this we ubnudoned long ngo ns being entirely too old fashioned and cum bersome, and have introduced elec tricity (our chief clectricmu being a first cousin of Edison) nud with this power wo linvo arrived at all that wo desire, for with less labor tbau with tho old power we start at seven iu tho morning and saw our fifty thousand every hour, in fact, there’s hardly a day that we do ns littlo as that, and nud the only trouble wo find is get ting ships fast enough to take the lumber away, although our ship-bro ker lias never iu a single iustanco failed in sending us one ship a day of capneity of five hundred thousand feet. Last week we uiet with a slight ac cident to some of our wires, detaining cr five hours, but our work footed up nt tho end of tho week nn nvorngo of 983,000 feet per day, beating “Cir cular saw one thousand feet per day. We also haul up Qur logs into tho mill by electricity, baviug ono power ful magnet at tho foot of tho slip and I another at tho head, and they are nt- | traded across tho log-way and placed on the carriage hy another, without the aid of log-turners or negroes.— Our saw-dust and slabs nro sent to Hades to bo burnt, nnd wo linve had no complaint of tboir inability to get rid of it. Wo bavo been compelled to {Hist n printed notice in tho mill that “any hand caught at his work in a perspiration will ho immediately discharged.” Besides nil this, the most perfect order prevails, nnd wo are all the time crowded with hands (a very de sirable element on these islands), and j after we have obtained our patent, «ROIlGIA»S PUBLIC SCHOOLS. A Stirring Addrenn on Hie Subject the State School Commissioner. Department of Education, Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 2d, 1881 7b the. different County School Com missioners, City Superintendentsi and Members of County and City Hoards of Education: Gentlemen—I deem it important givo you some account of recent school legislation, nnd to furnish yon with certain practical instructions in nd vanco of tho customary pamphlets usually Bont out from this office at tho beginning of a new school year. You will rouiember that in uiy circulur the socond of last May, I gave n syn opsis of several bills then ponding ono, providing for a tax on property of one-tenth of ono por cent., for school purposes; one, adding to the school fnud tho other half rental of tho Western and Atlautio Railroad two others, providing for tho moro ef ficient collection, the ouc of tho (>oll tax, and 'the other of the liquor tax ono, lovying a tax on dogs for school purposes; ouo, devoting all special taxes to schools; aud ono other ap propriating for tho same object the feos for inspecting fertilizers. Only two of theso bills wero passed, viz tho bill giviug to tho school fund the fees for inspecting fertilizers, ami (he bill providing better machinery for collecting tho liquor tax. I consider ed tho bill which ’proposed to tax projicrty one-tenth of ono per cent. a« tho best test of tho school sentiment of tho House, tho branch of the Gen eral Assembly in which it was intro- Incod. As tho bill was framed, it left tho money raised under it iu tho 'unties. Tho vote on it in this form as 77 for, to G5 against. Tho mens re, though receiving a majority of welvo, was hist, as it takes 88 votes to pass any inoasure under tho pres ent Constitution. Tho bill was re considered, and on reconsideration was amended so as to send all tho mouoy raised under it to the State Treasurer to bo apportioned among the counties on tho basis of school population. As thus amended, the vote stood on the quostion of passage 82for to (>5 against, tho bill thus lack ing only six vo.es of tho coustitmion al majority. There wero 28 mem bers absent on tho last vote, am! more than six of these, within my (torsoim! knowledge, would have voted for the hill hnd they been present. Wo thus know that more than a majority of the House were ready nud willing to go directly to the pockets of the |x» pie in order to build up the school system. Thu only thing like a test in which bus already been applied for, r^ d .^ €U,lte WUH ^ rote on the lull we shall feel that we owe it to the world to give it the benefit thereof, as we have within the last four mouths made a clear profit of $400,000, with a prospect of making at least a quar ter of n million the remaining two months of the year. Should your readers he desirous of learning the details of this immense business, let us know, and in a future issue you shall present same to thorn. Yours, etc., Dickmkn Brothers. 1*. S.—Wo might have said that it is our present iuteutioii to saw until the the first of next July, and then shut down to compare cuttings with the mill at No. 12. A Big Urorgl* Family. G.H. COWMAN, Contractor and Builder, BRUNSWICK, GKOIKUIA. I am pep«M l<> do all kte-fa of work In tny line mat!* •facet, mar the Cujr Kill Uatarancaa: J. Xtcbdaog A Dru. A. KaUrr A Bru Mr. J. R. Daniel, of Smyrna, sends the Marietta Journal the following mnt of “a big generation” with which hu is familiar: “Susan H.

Eight hundred Kumiui|» are soon to locate iu Georgia. iving to the schools the fees for in- H|>ecling fertilizers and tho hire ofthe convicts, of which 1 shall »ay more soon. My recollection of tlm vote on this bill is 28 for to 0 against. I feel cofideut I givo it correctly, though I am uunblc, nt present, to refer to the •Journal for verification. This brief review euables me lo nay, with assurance, that n clear majority in tin- House aud n large majority in the Somite wero for the scIch.|m. I have been over the State in all direc tions, aud I feel sure that I statu the cuse truly when I say that the |»cop|o are considerably in advance of their representatives on this subject. The only school measures of much importance passed were the hill which gives the fees for inspecting fertiliz ers and the hire of the convicts to the Hiip|M>rt of schools, and the hill pro viding for the more etficient collec tion of the liquor tax. The first of these will add about $70,000.00 to the school fund—say $00,000.00 from the fees for inspecting fertilizers, aud $10,- 000.00 from tho hire of the convicts. It is a littlo difficult to estimate the addition made by the second. This year, the amount received from the liquor tax w is $15,000.00. ! is con fidently iNdieved that the new law will at least double this yield, giving us from that source about $9n,<KH).0U. This will l»e an addition of about $45,- 000.00. This, added to the $70,000,00 from the sources above mentioned will givo u total addition of $121,000.00. The present year, th«* fund np|s>rtiou- ed at ibis office was $195,137.35. The poll-tax yielded hImhiI $1(20,000.00.— Add tho last two sums together, ami wo have $2155,197.35 as the approxi mate tots! State school fund of thin year. Tho addition hy recent legis lation being $121,000.00, if we add to this $355,137.35, tbe total school fund of this year, we shall bavo $473,137.35 as tbo probable available State fund for tbe coming year, being nn increase on last year's land of about one-tbird. It is possible tbst tbe addition to tbe fand is over-estimated above, as the amount added cannot be ascer tained with perfect accuracy. 1 feel very sure, however, that tbe ainonnt added will reach at least $100,000.00. Taking this smeller sum as the prob able addition, and remembering that the total sum apportioned tbe present yoar among tbe comities was very nearly $200,000.00, each County School Commissioner can come within a few dollars of bis county's quota for the coining year, by taking ono-bnlf of this year’s pro rata, and adding tbe sum thus obtained to that pro nta.— To tbe sum thus obtained, let onob Commissioner add whnt experience teaches him bo may receive from tbo poll-tax, and be will tbns obtain tbe available county fund for next year. I givo to tbo Commissioners this rulo for ascertaining tbo amount of school fand at their command for next year’s operations, in obedience to the requirement of first part of section 28 of the school law of August 23d, 1872. If Boards of E Incut on will locate •cboola judiciotihly, not needlessly multiplying them, and if County Com missioners will hoc to it that only tboso pupils pnrticipato in tbe bene fits of tbe fund who nro pnrsning the legal branches, I feel sure that in most of tbe counties of tbo State, the fund of next year can bo made to mnko tbe schools absolutely free for threo months. Iu quite a number of tho counties, with judicious manage ment, they can bo kept as free schools for four months. I hope tbo county officers will try to mnko the fund do all Hint it can bo rondo to do next year. Information comes to me from many parts of the State, that onr three months' schools aro very badly bro ken in upon, from yonr lo yoar, by tbe gathering of the crops. Children, iu considerable numb- rs, are taken from tbo schools and put to gathering fod der, picking out cotton, ami tbo like. Boards must fix tba terms so as to bavo the least interference possible from tbe source mentioned. In this matter, as in hundreds of otb- , what would suit the schools the Florida line would not suit in tbe mountains. Tho Boards are the l>est judges, nud ought to act widely rofesenee to this evil. It seems to me that t in Hires mqutlis freest of all from interruptions of tho kind men mod, iu uioht parts of tbe State, would l*o December, January and February. Tbo diffieulty of securing uifortablH houses to teueh iu might stand in the way of making those Him tlie sell'st1 term. These mouths might Ih* adopted in partienlar dis tricts of h eiunity where good houses already exist, other three mouths be ing selected for tho parts of the conn- not provided with suitable Imild- I In reby instruct llmt Boards luay Hiiih fix the school term so as to r parts of two years, where the iuteroMtH ot the schools would seem to promoted thereby. Several other sclnsil laws of minor pnrtnuce were passed at tho recent session. Tli«*se will be iuelnded iu new edition .if tile school laws, and will !m> duly noticed in tnv new pamphlet of iust. notions. I cannot elose this circular without Niihmittiim some thoiudits suggested Hie facts net forth therein In the ti» **t plan*, then, I would say re is rnnsd of great gratification ill t has Im*cu accomplished. We are hrtmght, for the first lime in onr his tory, in sight, every when*, of absolute- free su bmits, slid in most of tbe comities, lo their actual realization.— Tlieirieiids of education in the Gen eral Asm-iuIiIv deserve well ofthe pco- greut disadvantage, they mad*; a light that was g-ii!iiut, though only p. it Lilly successful. Iu the next place, I w*>iild siy that wlmt whs done falls much below wbst ought to have l»eeii done, and what could h ive been done at this tinis.— We certainly can educate the children of the Btate, to a reasonable extent, in the elementary branches ff an English education, mid ex|s*rience everywhere proves that this can be done much cheaper by public tbau by private schools. A Vant majority of the par ents would individually save money largely by the uewly adopted mode of ednesting. Moreover, tbe constitu tion, made by oar own chosen dele gates, and ratified by ns by a majority of 80,000. requires that itshaUbedone. Few, if any, can bo fonnd among ns, of those laying claim to ordinary in telligence, wbo would soberly state that a three months' school is suffi cient. There is an economy which is absolute wastefulness. No prudent man, in managing bis own affiurs, pats into an enterprise only htlf enough money to accomplish It He finds it to bis interest always to in vest money enough to accomplish Wbst be proposes reasonably well.— An addition of $200,000 or $300,000 more to the school fond wonld have enabled us to keep up publio school! from five to seven months throughout the entire State. This much, and nothing less, should have been done. In the last place, I would say .that there is but one way to accomplish what wo proposo. In electing mem bers of tbe next General Assembly, let tbe school issue be mado every where. Let tbe friends of education require of those who would represent them a pledge tbst tboy will exert themselves, in case of their election, to raise money enough to keep free schools in operation at least sit months of the year. Do not permit them to tom the peoplo aside to side tongs. Some aspirants will claim to be great school men, aud will propose to accomplish great things by some insignificant change in the school machinery. Able meo, known all over this country for what they have ac complished for popular education, af- patient examination of the school code of every State in the Un ion, bitvo declared that, with tbe ex ception perhaps of two States, Geor gia has tbe very best system of school laws. All tbst wo need is more money, and, from my knowledge of tbe peo ple, and from the strong school sen timent developed in tbe present Leg islature, I believe tbst, in order to succeed, we bavo only to make tbe is sue. Let us itriko, then, for a six mouths' school. Gustavus J. One, State School Commissioner. OirVilNrt llouMkMpera. IIIgM Florida Union.
