The almost unprecedented drought with its withering eiiets upon vege tation, is still upon to, and iron’, the latest reports from the weather bu reau the end is not in sight. Not only has the cotton suffered materi ally from the drought, but the tail Crops; such as potatoes, peas, turnips and truck patches are ruined, which works a hardship upon the fanners in close proximity to Atlanta, for up on such crops they depend largely for their yearly income. In view of those facts, and the extreme 'aw prices of farm piv duets, u occurs to us that the legislature which is about to convene, should cast about art! use their law-making power to snj-p'y the defect us far ns possible, in the direction of retrenchment in govern ment expenses. We prepose tn this article to point out a few spots where the burden of the (nit-payers might be greatly relieved without any vin ous disadvantage.-, to the people. For instance, there is all state offi cials, whose salaries might be great < reduced; and if the present ineum bents kick at it there are plenty to be found equally competent to !i!i the positions. There is tile agricul tural department which is a useless j expense to the state, and should be abolished: It only serves to furnish j a good position for some broken -luv. n politician who cant make a living on his farm. Then we have our state militia, which costs the state a large sum every year to keep it up, without any profit to the people; these com panics are made up in the towns ami cities, and the soldier boy must be sent off every year fora summer out ing, to some celebrated camp of in struction, the better to prepare them for active service in the field, when pt fact, it amounts to nothing more or less than a big frolic where, the boys can show off their fine uniforms and glided trappings. Tt is a burn ing shame that the people should la taxed to keep up such institutions in times of profound peace the world never saw better troops than ioiiowed the Southern cross for four long and bloody years, uudef the leadership of such men as Lee, Johnson and Long street, no such expensive training was required tor them to take the field. We had occasion in a former article to adude to the appropriation by the state to the University at mm It W 8 91 I 1 f U IB w ft £ $ g 1 % m s*& fei 4WI jjpi g| i I §n| i 1 fill & I: If % m V?, s# w w® E m% & | tli ; urt iter ami give a few reasons jwhv jlii- appropriation should be held up: Conspicions in our daily papers are pictures ot base ball ami toot ball players from our universities, and we notice Athens is conspicuous for her share, now without a boy has got the money to join these clubs, ami go a out the country '.vith there, and participate in the various contests the tendency of which is to promote gumboil*;' and rowdynes*:, he had bet ter stay away from Athens, Think of it. you farmers, while your sons and daughters are dragging about through the fields bending beneath the withering rays of an Autumn sun, picking out ’live cent cotton; that your hard earned dollars must go to sextain thh. useless ami demoralizing practice As, a genera! thing the. majority of the people it. the country j are kept in ignorance ns to the ti lit* j status of affa’rs in our coll'ge ; that receive help from the state: from the fact, many of the editors ot *-iir lead ing journals are graduates from the State lhiiveisitv: and the love and veneration Umy enter'..on for their “Alma Mater,” would naturally have ft tendem y to exclude anything from the nutilie, eye that would reflect on the institution. It does not require mi expert mathemi'.lieian to sec at. a glance that n largo saving could be made to the tax payers by doing away with the appropriation men tioned above; which is of no earthly advantage to tin- ir*o.,t of them. It :s to he hoped that the legislature which is to convene in o few lays will inauiiurafa a ,-c irching investi gation of the expenditures of the state a id cut them down to the very mini mum notch; that there a-, ill t.e some kicking there is no doubt, hut let them kick, ti. financial , xpression of the'country it. this time, with Mc- Kinley prosperity car recked on the Western plains, demand that our law tnak* :•>• should throw a safe guard around tlit- peoples money and pre vent a dollar from going out, except for actual expense of the state. There is one institution in Athens receiving help from tl.e state that wo ■ lout wish to irclude in our criticisms on the Slale L niversitv: and that is the Slate Normal School, where the students aie being prepared to teach, there is -jpo danger of its being con taminated by wild and reckless fads so long as it is presided over by so thorough mi educatior and a.-nrti plisbed gentleman as Capt.
