5 he new cnpitol seems to inspire
our legislators with activity. The
first few days of the session, impor¬
tant bills were introduced the sub-
eels of which will be found in another
column, to which the News earnest¬
ly calls the attention of its many
readers. Chief in importance is the
bill to release, the state road. The
next is the educational bill of Mr.
Fenton. The danger of this bill is in
not providing .sufficiently for common
schools in the rural districts of the
state.
****
lho indications now arc that the
Western *fc Atlantic railroad will be
leased. The proper way is to place
the leasing in the hands of a small
committee of first class business men,
—men who have the best interests of
the state at heart, and of whose in-
tegrify there is not the shadow of
suspicion ; let them be untrammeled
by any restrictions of betterments,
settlement with, present lesees, or any
eonsiderations whatever, except
leasing of the road and its equipments
(o the best advantage for the state.

Strikes seem to be the order of the
day, both in this country and Europe.
'1 he m >st prominent is Duluth, M inn.,
bringing business to a standstill,
business men forming themselves into
a v ohmteer police force. A number
of the strikers were wounded in ‘.he
riot and some killed. The briekmak-
Cl’S of Chicago, the coal miners of
Tennessee, the iron men of Pittsburg,
the 14.000 threatening miners of
Pennsylvania, the 4,000 in Austria,
the seamen in Liverpool, indicate an
antagonism between workmen and
their employers, that there is some-
thing seriously mid radically wrong
iu the relations of labor and capital.

They are two sluggers;their names

and Sullivan was proclaimed victor,
Whole pages of great papers were

The main object of introducing
biff in the legislature to prevent bring-

less to encourage raising home beef.
There is certainly no reason
Georgia should not raise all her
beef, and of as good quality as
other state can produce, Still,
a law is decidedly objectionable; it
undemocratic,and probably

The News yields to no one in its
earnest advocacy of higher educa-
tion. It wants to see appropriations
made tot he colleges and Universi-
ty,until they equal the very bast any-
where in the United States. It
glad to know that, onthe part of our
legislators, there is a disposition to
appropriate funds and increase
the educational facilities of
these, institutions, ...d, that colU^a

Just now the common schools are
very defective, far behind those of
many states,* the general iutelligem e
is thereby lowered; tho wealth and
prosperity of the people and of the
state are retarded.These schools are he
most needy; particularly in the rural
districts, among the farmers; for
U.«» all the appropriations possible
should be made; of the public educa¬
tional funds they now need tho
gest share. Chief among their
are
QUALIFIED TEACHERS;
therefore normal training schools
! ould be established, supplemented
bv Teachers’ Institutes in every coun¬
ty, so that competent teachers can be
available, and a perfected system of
schools ho actualized in the shortest
possible time in every part of our
great state.
NOT SO.
The Augusta Chronicle, in speaking
<>f appropriating the state educational
fundi s y;:
“There are at best, but a few hun¬
dred thousand dollars available for
pubiic education. This would not
educate half the school children in the
state three months in the year, if ap-
plied to them.”
lt then tries to show that it is bet-
rer j () apply the fund to educate a
}V\y, “"leaders and workers; “every
lirmtirocl ( l 0 ]lars the state spends in
equipping one of its young men for
life, is worth a thousand dollars scat¬
tered around m driblets over a coun¬
ty or a district.”
This must mean that higher edu¬
cation for a few,is better for the state,
than a common school education for
the many; therefore take the few hun-
thousand dollars from the mass-
and give it to educate a few.
7’his is a good doctrine for a mon
arehy, but bad for a republic. Said a
despotic emperor of Austria, “I do
not want an educated people, 1 want
obedient subjects.”
Ignorance of the masses, ignorant
voters, and educated demagogues are
the greatest dangers threatening our
nation; in the education and intelli¬
gence of the masses is the nation’s
greatest safety.
A higher course, or college cduca-
tion is not necessary to the intelli-
gonee that is the safe guard of the re-
public, and the libertiesof the people,
The education needed is that obtain-
ed in the common schools, and it
should be universal, so that the great
masses of the people can read, write,
think, and thus be enabled to dis¬
charge properly lifts duties to them¬
selves, to their families, the state, the
nation.
The shortest road to this end is
not by educating a few “leaders and
workers” leaving the masses % in
helpless ignorance till a large fund is
available. Because the state has on-
ly a few hundred thousand dollars to
distribute,is no reason why this should
be taken from the many and given to
the few.
This amount supplementing other
funds, will be a help; and it can be
annually increased as the state in-
creases iu prosperity and wealth from
year to year; this increase in pros-
perily and wealth will be largely pro-
portioned to the education and

IO MAKE A SECOND CROP
OF IRISH POTATOES.
Mr. A. B. Towers, of Anderson,
S. C„ who has the reputation of be¬
ing the most successful raiser ot a
second crop of Irish potatoes in the
country, writes to a gentleman in
this place giving his plan, which is
as follows:
“As to potatoes, I dig them as soon
as the vines die—then is, the Spring
crop. I pick out plenty of small po¬
tatoes to plant my second crop, and
then clear a place if there is a damp
place in your garden the better—then
put the potatoes down as it bedding
sweet potatoes, very thick, then cov¬
er with dirt three or font inches and
put leaves or straw over the dirt. Let
them remain two or three weeks,
Lay oif ground and take up potatoes
and drop them about six inches a-
part. Do not cut them. Put the
manure in the drill on top of the po¬
totoes and cover with a rake, which
will leave the ground perfectly smoth
and level, and then mulch when there
is a good season in the ground.
I learned this plan from the Rural
Cirohnsan several years ago. The
