VOL. XVI. 'I ho Piedmont Chautauqua opened on Wednesday, with favorble auspices for a successful s >-ion. In another column is an extended notice of this famous school. **** A heavy Hood swept the country in the vicinity of Johnstown N. Y., causing destruction of property and loss of life. A bridge was carried way on which were twenty persons, Several of whom were drowned. **** A negro politician in Kai organized an emigrant a Object bei to induce the nc the South to emigrate 1o Oklahoma. 'ibis means he is going to fl >(*(/ h; race out of thousands of dollars ol 1 heir hard earnings. **** Itulherfor counsel for Wolfolk 1 received a letter stating that three ] arties killed the Wolfolk family, of the murderers now reside near the Wolfolk Homestead, and also states lhat robbery was the motive of the murder. Undoubtedly there will be plenty of such letters ‘-ditto the cred¬ ulous Rutherford, who is desperate i i his endeavors to clear Wolfolk. * if =* 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. ■k k k .v 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. * x >.• * They are two sluggers;their names a re Sullivan and Kilrain. They in Mississippi, ami pounded, pulled, jorked, mashed and pumnieled each uther on the face, mouth, eyes, stom- neh and ribs, in the highest and most degrading style of the pugalistic art, until the Kilrain party cried enough, and Sullivan was proclaimed victor, Whole pages of great papers were filled with accounts of the fig lit, and nine-tenths, possibly ten-tenths of .the men of t'\o nations on two heinig- pheres have been interested in the re¬ cital. Sullivan has been arrested,and Kilrain has taken to the woods, and 30 the end is not yet of this unsavory hut all-absorbing literature. The main object of introducing biff in the legislature to prevent bring- ing dressed beef into our state is 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 tntionnl, as it roiitliets with the „ral commercial relate between .nates, and the),‘rs„„a rights of dividual*.

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 an. f fairlv well equipped, 11 and are do- • ’ ".good work; and. t ,s . proud o, the of " ,0 Sta,e " l0 list of remnvvetl names among its graduates, intimating that it ■» of turning out good scholars ji ml gr. at men. 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 i n « lli gtnte of the poo, pie; which emphases,he importance of mereastng the facilities ot the com- mon schools throughout *, the state,and ■ advancing , . them .. to . the , highest • , stand- . , . aids . of , excellence the shoitest . m . possible time, ------ SIrs - T .' ler ’ of ex-president John Tyler, died after a short illness Richmond Va., on Wednesday The Toccoa Sews.

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 ‘™ble about a second crop ot Insl ‘ 13 ln S M "'2 a 3l a"‘ • In the way suggested above you get rid of those that will rot.

A New York paper rays: New York at the present moment fairly swarms with young southern women who have come north to make for¬ tunes out of literature. The Countess de Casa Miranda, best known as Christine Nilsson is , going to London for the summer, but will not sing in public. “I am.’’ she says, “only going to see my friends and to be there during the season. I have had offers from Mapleson and Harris to name my own terms, and poor Carl Rosa sent an agent all the way to Vice to make me an offer, but I have refused them all.” ‘‘Have you given up the stager” Practically, yes. My husband would not like me to re¬ turn to the operatic stage. I do not say that I never sing in concert again, for I may or I may not. I am going to London for pleasure, as I might go to America in the near future, but it would be just for a visit to my* friends there, of whom there are many: You see,” continued the diva, r, I am not much missed by the pnblie now. There are so many good singers be¬ fore us, and America certainly has the upper hand.” Annie Louise Cary-.Raymond is now her name.

INDUSTRIES. A New York syndicate has organ- ized a gJa3 3 trust, and are trying to buy r and control the entire glass man- ufacture of the country. The C. S. Phillips tobacco corapa^ n 3 f of New York lias purchased 20,- 000 acres of land in Polk Co. Fla,, and will prepare this year 500 acres for tobacco. It has been found that a mickle- platcd bullet will go plump through a man, where one with out will stop short, and England will hereafter nickel-plate all her bullets. A stingy hunk of Burlington, Vt., drew up some papers and used ink of his own make to save expenses. The other day he found the writing had faded out, involving him in a loss of $7,000. Freedon Shelman, of Garret coun¬ ty, West Virginia, expects to make his fortune some day by extracting gold frara the teeth of dead bodies. He says there are millions of dollars thus going to waste, England has over $1,000,000 inves¬ ted in the manufacture of idols for Leathern countries, and yet the churches of that country are continu¬ ally calling for more money and more missionaries to suppress idola¬ try. An Albany syndicate has purchas¬ ed the Durant tract of land in the Ad riondacks, paying $500,000 for it. Tne tract embraces 386,000 acre, t and contains 570,000,000 feet of spruce lumber. It is stated that the object of the syndicate is to make a corner iu this lumber, which is much used in making wood-pulp.
