Atlanta, Jan. 23.—With the open
ing of the new year, the coming in
auguration of Governor Slaton, and
the approaching 1913 session of the
State Legislature, Georgia is facing
a series of interesting financial prob
lems, the chief of which is the re
tirement of the $3,392,000 of state
bonds which fall due in 1915.
The most important part of the
Governor’s message will deal with
the state’s finances, and the appro
priations for the next two years, in-
cllding some provision for meeting
| the bonds, will be the most impor-
• tant duty this summer of the gen-
|eral assembly.
I Georgia's total bonded indebted
ness amounts to $6,834,202, of which
j half, approximately, falls due in
11913. As the state has only a $ 100,-
1000 annual sinking fund to take
care of the bonded debt, some spe-
ic’al provision will have to be made,
land it is understood that that new
bonds will be made io refund the
| old issue. There is a provision of
ithe Constituion which says Georgia
(shall not Issue new bonds to in-
i crease the bonded indebtedness of

The kindred problem of tax
were published by I)r. T. M,
tosh and myself did not help
Scipline of the school.
1 I am fully aware of the fact that
ithe publication of cards of this char
acter will show to all wherein they
have been imposed upon, and let
ithe parents see wherein the health
I of their children is being injured.
I tried to avoid this course o* ac
tion ami appealed first, to the Sup
erintendent. then to the School
Hoard, and in each instance .ny ap
peals were denied. Had my request
(had due consideration no cards
would have appeared.
I called upon the Superintendent
and stated to him that my oldest lit
tle girl, who is just nine years old,
had been kept in practically every
day for a month not for any misde
meanor, but merely for having been
excused for necessary purposes.
I asked that the rule of punish
ing children for being excused, for
necessary purposes, be suspended,
not only for my child but for all the
<hildren of the school.
The Superlntendetffc stated that he
did not know what rules were being
enforced along this line, but would
investigate. /
I requested that this investigation
be made at once and h’s decision
given me within two days.
On the second day I called at the
Superintendent’s office and asked
the result of his Investigation.
The reply was: “I have instructed
for the pupils not to be kept In for
the first offence, but after that to be
required to make up the time.’’
Kindly note the word OFFENSE be
ing applied to the act of a little
child responding to the calls af na
ture.
1 promptly stated that I would nui
stand for this, that the short recess
allowed but twenty-two seconds to
each child and that the noon recess,
(after deducting ten minutes for
marching out and in.) allowed but
one minute and twenty seconds to
each pupil, and that under these cir
cumstances the privilege of being
excused but once was certainly In
sufficient.
In the card of the Superintendent
great appeal for the
school as a corporate body, but I
all- fail to note any reference, whatever,

shot is the only thing that kept P. T.
Turner off the diaingang, though
e youngster is white and of good
mily.
He got a little rifle yesterday,
went out to Grant Park and began
! pot-shooting, at the tame squirrels;
.n the trees. The little animals ac-j
itually came down on the ground to
see what it was all about, and some j
f them nosed around him, looking
j for lumps of sugar or peanuts, while
he was .shouting at them. j
When Park Manager Dan Carey
heard of it, he was ten times more I
red-headed than ever before in his
life. The park police were equally
sore.
“If you had killed one of them,’’
the keeper of animals told him, “I
would have seen you on the chain-
gang. if I had to employ a lawyer
with my own money to help convict
you.”
But since his bullets hit nothing.
Turner was let off with a sharp re
primand and a $15 fine.

Dr. Soule, of the State Agricultural
School, Has Become ‘Interested. j
Athens, Ga., Jan. 23.—Dr. An-1
drew M. Soule, President of the
State College of Agriculture, at Ath
ens, has Interested the Federal Gov
ernment In the matter cf conduct-
iiig a breeding demonstration ex
periment in this state, at the Agri
cultural College, calculated to show
the merit of thd different breeds,
and to illustrate to the [eople of
Georgia, the possibilities in this in*
dustry.
Dr. Soule, who is a most enthu
siastic and instructive talker, deliv
ered a most interesting address on
the subject, before the recent an
nual meeting of the Cotton Seed
Crushers’ Association of Georgia, In
which he urged the members of that
organization to lend every effort to
wards securing a better grade of
beef cattle, for cattle raising in
Georgia.
The Federal Government has con
tributed toward the fuud, for the
purpose named above, and the State
College of Agriculture at Athens
will supplement the funds donated
by maintaining these animals, look
ing after their record, supplying the
pasturage, feed, equipment for the j
work and giving the State,at large j
the benefit of the demonstration. !

The Peach Crop is Dead—Long Live
the Peach Crop, is the Cry in
North Georgia.
Atlanta, Jan. 23.—The whole
North Georgia peach crop for 1913
budded and was killed this morning!
Gentle reader, be not too sorely
d stressed, even though you love
peaches mor« than any other fruit.
The budding did not occur on the
peach-trees. Nor did the killing.
Both sad events occurred In the
minds of agricultural experts
timorous nature; In the noodles of
reporters and editors anxious for a
bit of sensational and readable news
to they -budded and killed off the
peach crop.
Of course this ruthless slaughter
of the fair Elberta takes place every,
season, yet she survives. Of course
there Is some little element of truth
In the reports. In a few Isolated in
stances, the unseasonably warm
weather Is making the trees to bud
prematurely. But that is all. This
same complete slaughter occurred
last year in .February. Pitiful little
peach blossoms, pink and frozen,
were plucked of? Atlanta trees, and
photographs of them were solemnly
printed In the papers. But when the
real peach season came, there was
one of the finest crops Georgia has
ever had.
The peach crop Is dead again!—

modations are such that at the short
re ess in the morning but twenty-
two seconds may be accorded to
each pupil and at the noon recess
there is allowed each pupil one min
ute and twenty seconds. The3e are
mathematical facts and the absurdi
ty of those minute spaces of time be.
lag sufficient for the accomodation
of the children needs no comment.
It is evident that the Superinten
dent is unaware of the extent to
which this Imposition has been car
ried, as I have in my possession the
names of numerous parents who
state that their children had been
refused the privilege of being ex
cused, and that the children had re
turned home In a deplorable condi
tion. There is an instance
occurred since Christmas, where
the teacher positively refused
excuse the child, although the
quest was made urgently and
I peated three times
at the ago of understanding might
discern between ‘‘paying back,’’ and
a punishment, but a children under
twelve years old has not a mind suf
ficiently developed to draw this
hair-splitting distinction. Again, if
the ‘ paying baek’» is not a punish
ment why should the child be re
quired to pay back with double the
time consumed by it while it was ex
cused?
It is known to all who have had
the training of children that to pun
ish a <hild unjustly, hardens the
sensibilities of the child and gives it
a disregard for all rules.
