The powers have agreed to—
gouge the “heathen Chinee.
Might is Ildt always right.
Congress will convene next
week, but thank goodness the
legislature will soon flTjffdln.
Dr. Broughton and Mayor
Woodward, of Atlanta, contin-
tse to make faces at each other.
The errant mayor seems to be
dying hard.
The thanksgiving number of
the Atlanta Daily News was a
gem of the first water. The lit—
eVary features were unusually
fascinating.
The Atlanta Constitution was
wrong, a 8 usual, in etlymt* thilt
Berrien would he entitled to two
representatives by the new 7
Count. We only wish it was so.
Quitman has decided that
they won fenoug’ glory in get¬
ting first prizes at the State Fair
und her Hay and Syrup day has
Been declared off for the pres¬
ent.
Quite a number of South Geor¬
gia towtts hdVh [hilled off sliiTess-
ful fairs and carnivals ties sea¬
son—and the Sefison is winding
up with a circus at most every
pbifit.
It is strange to think that Way-
cross has a population of over
6,000 and does not even boast of
a cotton liiarkdt. The Magic
Oity could get a few valuable
points from Adel on this sub-
ject.
The Waycross Herald suggests
Hon, Lem Johnson as an ac¬
ceptable candidate in connection
with the next gubernatorial
campaign. There will be others.
Wiregrass Georgia ought to be
able to name the next occupant
of the executive Ifiailsidti.
Perhaps Congressman Living¬
ston can interest the national
house pf representatives in At¬
lanta’s depot problem. Leoni¬
das is u man of resources, there’s
no question about that, and a
a little matter of half a million
dollars is not much to ask of
congress.
If the Fiiiffinds are to be ex¬
terminated, why not send an
overwhelming force over there
and have the agony over with
and be done with it. With the
recent election fresh in our
minds, we suggest, that the re¬
cruits come .from the republi¬
can party.
The Nicaraga Canal should
claim the attention of congress
and the scheme should be rush¬
ed to an early completion. Our
army in the Philippines would
be doing our country a better
service if they were handling
shovels and [licks on said canal
than what they have been doing
Ifor tlie past several months-.
The present basis Of representa¬
tion in the General Assembly is
hot fair from several points of
View. Take one of tlie sparsely
feettlted counties* fur instance
ICchdlg, with a population of
&209 and compard with Berrien
Which lias six timUS as many in-
and they each have
representative while Elbert

Mr, F’; Holloway difcd at his
home at Sparks last Thursday
night, Nov. 22nd, after an illness
of several weeks with fever. The
deceased was a son-in-law of Mr
W. F. Shuman and was interest-
ed in the market business at
Sparks. He leaves five mother¬
less children, all of them small.
Holloway was a man of ster-
j,ng integrity, honorable and
upr j g ht, and his death is sincere¬
ly mourned* The remains v ere
interred at Bethel church in
Brooks county on Saturday mor-
hing.
Mr. J. W. Taylor, of Hahira,
who was carried to Atlanta
about six Web lie agd to undergo
an unusual and dangerous surgi¬
cal operation, was brought home
on Saturday morning, and The
Times is glad to learn that the
chances are good for his com¬
plete recovery. Mr. Tfiyidr was
attacked about a year ago by a
disease bf the kidneys which the
best medical skill was unable to
check. Some weeks ago it be¬
came necessary for him to sub¬
mit to the removal of one of his
kidney’s in order to save his life.
Dr OWen, of Ilahird, son-in-law
of Mr. Taylor* went with him to
Atlanta, and was unceasing in
his attention. The operation
was entirely successful, and we
trust that the gentleman will
regain his wbitteil health. Mr.
Taylor, is an old citizen ui Ha-
hira‘ He was formerly in the
saw mill business there, and lias
many friends.
The Bank of Nashville was
organized yesterday by tlie elec¬
tion of J. F. Lewis President,
A. W; Patterson Vice President.
Tlie board of directors is as fol¬
lows : H; B-. Peeples* L. A»
Carter, F. W. GaskinsW. L-.
Swindle and W. H. Griffin. The
'cashier and teller will be sup¬
plied by the Citizens Bank* of
Valdosta* for the present, but it
is understood that John W. E
Powell will be elected cashier.
The re-organization talk still
gees on. If the party extremists
don’t hold their tengues for a
season there will ne>er be any
reconciliation, A Louse divided
against itself cannot stand and
the old democratic ship is in
danger of being wrecked on the
of dissension in the future. The
people are “tired” and the lead¬
ers ought to bo. Give us a rest

The saying, which is so com¬
mon aihong the masses, fliat :
“Georgia's public schools are be¬
hind those of all other states.”
is far from being true. In pub¬
lic education, as in industrial
progress Georgia occupies a con-
spicuous place among the South-
ern states. Compare the schools
of Georgia with the Schools of
her sister State?: Alabama
spends only two dollars per an¬
num on each pupil enrolled in
her schools ; South Carolina
two ; North Carolina two fifty ;
Georgia four ; Texas seven ;
West Virginia eight ; while
Maryland leads all the states
south of MaSon and Dixiou’s
line with an expenditure of e-
leven dollars f >r each child en¬
rolled. It is seen that Georgia
stands neither at the head nor
the *xot> of tiiO list. Add to the
public appropriate the private
subscriptions to supplement tlm
public funds and our slate will
make a veiy Creditable show¬
A great maity educators com¬
pare the schools of the South
with those of tho West. Condi¬
tions are so widely different, in
the two sections that a compari¬
son would be unfair. In the
West all the states have - a large
permanent school fund thrived
from the sale and rental of pub¬
lic lands. This tnablds these
states to have longer t jrms and
better schools than has the
South. Colorado spends thirty
dollars a year on each child in
her schools, yet there are no tax¬
es levied for public education.
Other Western Stales are not so
fortunate blit in all of them the
tax rate for school purposes is
very moderate. In Georgia the
greater part of the school fund
is raised by taxation.
