his indomitable energy, his untiring

It is true that be has been ably as

Perhaps there fa no one subject just
now upon which the local mind fa
more interested than that of a public
school. The liig bygbear seems to be
the supposed increase of the rate of
taxation. We publish elsewhere
communication from **M” which set
forth the probable cost of running the
necessary number of public schools,
and the sources from which the money
would be raised. From his showing
the increase in the taxed would be eo
light as to be scarcely appreciable by
the payer. If he is correct, 1 and he
fa a clear and level-headed gentleman,
there should be no more objection
offered on the score of burdensome
taxes. Read what he says.

The No Fence Law.
Thomasville* Ga., Sept 19, ’93
Times-Enterprise:
Dear Captain—Will you kindly
gitc through your columns the law in
e to-the no fence question.
In my opinion there is no one thing
that the fanners of the southern sec
tion of the county could do that would
bring more prosperity than the adops
tion of the no fence law. The law is
in force in Florida and has proven
highly satisfactory there as it has in
every other instance. There is more
hogs now in -Leon oounty than for
yean. It is claimed that the no
fence law is the only remedy for hog
cholera, as each farmer’s hogs are
kept within his own enclosure and
can not carry the infection to his
neighbbr’s hogs, as they do when al
lowed to run at large.
Respectfully,
J. S. Montgomery.
We have not the law at hand and
therefore cannot qnote it literal
ly, but if we mistake not, the law per
mils the adoption of the “no fence”
law either by countip or by militia
districts. Petitions by citizens ot the
county, or by citizens of the district
if only district elections are to be held,
must be made to the Ordinary, whose
duty it becomes to give the necessary
publicity and order the election.
Election to be held iu the same man
ner as eleciiocs for members of the
legislature. A district cannot ad-»pi
part, hut 111 ust adopt as a whole.
Counties or districts adopting ‘ no
fenij” or the “stock law” must be
fenced against the depredations of
»Wck from without. This is done
under direction of the Ordinary and
by a tax levied upon the taxable
property of the county or the district,
as the case may be.
This fa the substance of the law,
and fa enough to enlighten those inter
ested on the subject as to what fa
necessary in order to secure a vote on
the question.
We heartily endorse the views of
our correspondent in regard to the
enefits that would accrue to the peo
pie of iho southern portion of the
county. But while they especially
need it, we believe it would prove a
great blessing to the whole county.
For several yeais the writer has noted
the effect of the stick law in those
sections of the state which have
adopted it, and withuul a single ex
ception they have b.eu benefitted.
Io all these sections milk, butter and
bacon are more plentiful and a greater
per cent of the. farmers have money
head. Wherever the law has been
adopted it has proveu a b'essing, and
the sooner Thomas county adopts it
either iu whole or iu part, the sooner
will come greater prosperity to her
farmers. We are aware that this,
like all other new men-urea. has its
opponents, hi 1 we leel certain that
the arguments me iu favor of the law.
We trust that the j* nil* wil give the
subject careful thought un i that all
controversies or discussions that may
arise will be conducted iu a spirit of
conservalivenesa.

THE AUTHORITIES HAVE HAT
TERS WELL IN HAND.
Only One New Case Yesterday—

The Public School System
Mr. Editor :
While the public tcLool question
being discussed, allow me to answer
an objection I have heard a.gocd
deal of talk on the streets to the
effect that it would necessitate a large
increase in tax<s.
It is estimated that it would require
about $11,500 a year to run four
schools, two white and two for negroes,
iu each, oue for boys and one for girls.
This fa on a basis of 800 pupils and
sixteen teachers and a superintendent
with salaries in keeping with thoee
paid by the cities of the state.
Now where will this money come
from?
In the first place, from admission
fees. It fa usual to charge something
in all the public school systems of
which I know, and the amount runs
from $2 to $10 a year. Put ours at a
medium of $5. This would give for
800 pupils. $4,000.
Next the pub’ic school fund of the
state fa about $5 for each pupil. This
gives another $4,000.
Then regular tuition should be
charged those residing outside the
corporate limits, aud there would
certainly be enough of these to bring
in $1,000.
We have then $9,000 without a
cent of direct tax. The tax returns
of the city are over $2,000,000,
that 124 cents on the $100 would
raise the remaining $2,500 needed.
So that where a man now pays $1.00
taxes he would then pay $1.25.
It fa surprising to see how cheaply
the system could be run. Ttxe advan*
tage comes in bringing children to
gether into few schools, so that time
and consequently teachers, and con
sequently money can be saved. Then
having a system on a solid and per
manent basis makes teachers more
certain of permanent employment
and of receiving their pay, and this, of
cou'se, secures better teachers.
According to the constitutional
provision the city council must take
the iui.iitory step. Let us hear from
it, and then let us have the school
system. _ M.

One.new case of fever to-day, that of
child to house. Patient now under
treatment. Name withheld from
publication under penalty of arrest by
board of health. This arbitrary rule
is creating intense dissatisfaction
throughout the country and will
probably be abolished to-morrow.
Surgeon Faget sent five hundred
people to camp Hutton to-day for

around the dty was reinforced by
water patrol to-day, and no one will

through camp
The census of the dty fa being

will be driven out of the dty and none

The street cars were stepped to-day
and business was practically suspend*

Below I give the complete list oi
names of the people under treatment
for yellow fever in Brunswick. They
are:
Mrs. Sarah Turner and her 5 year-
old daughter.
.Mrs, Elizabeth Stokes, on E. s'reet,
Newtown.
Mrs. Sarah Smith, Newtown.
Archy H. Smith, on Monk street.

These names are unofficial and
secured from personal canvass of
Brunswick. No member of the board
has divulged heas names. I do not
publish them in defiance of anybody,
although it may be so considered. I
have been threatened with punish
ment if I wire names without authori
ty from the board. The list is abso
lutely correct, and does not include
any eusptets or names of people sick
with other complaints. No «fficial
record fa more complete than this.
The health board claim to have the
law on their side in demanding that
names be suppressed and -say they
will enforce the law. If any effort is
made to enforce that law I have
been proffered assistance in the way of
amp'e bond by responsible men.
believe it my duty to publish
there names. The pnb'io demands
them and have a right to know.
The Health Board is wrong in sup
prearing these names. O. W. Cole,
manager of the Brunswick Ice Com
pany, has been reported rick on the
streets, but complete diagnosis late
tauight by Drs- Butts, Murray and
Fagetdoea not authorize his case
being pronounced yellow fever, and
this is sent to stop the false report.
A Canning Factory.
We are aware that this subject has
often been dfacuesed here and that
there are those who think it imposs
ible to organize a stock company for
any purpose just at this time. We
be’ieve firmly in the adage that
“where there fa a'will there fa a way,"
and we are as ‘ profoundly impressed
now as ever that this is one of tfie
pressing needs of our country. And
we still believe that the people, jehen
they see the thing in its true light,
will take hold and push the matter to
a successful issue.' A canning factory,
like a good system of publio schools,
would benefit, either directly or in
directly, every man, woman and child
in the county. And when any. meas
ure fa general in its effects—will in
ure to the public welfare—it fa alike
the duty and the interest of eyery one
to lend a helping hand. This Is _ the
spirit that builds cities, erects fac
tories, locates railroads, rears churches
and establishes schools; and just a
little oHt exercised sow will secure a
canning factory in our midst in time
for the next crop.
A factory here would not only save
and render valuable the large quan
tity of pears and other fruits and
vegetables that now go to wasted but
would make a market for thousands
of dollars worth of artie’ea not now
raised, such as corn, English peas,
beans, okra, cucumbers, tomatoes,
pumpkins, etc. This would diversity
production, bring - money in at a dull
season, relieve the producer, benefit
the merchant and improve business in
all.. lines. Fifteen thousand dollars
would be ample for a factory of suf
ficient capacity to consume all the
Block that could be raised in the coun
ty. Heretofore there has been one
drawback—the lack of a practical
man to become identified with the en
terprise
There fa a gentleman, Mr. E. A.
Nisbet, of Nisbet, Ala., who wants to
locate here. He has been active in
organizing two canning establishments
and fa familiar with all departments
connected with one.
He says that a $15,000 factory,
properly run, will certainly pay It
prr cent. He favors the plan, if large
stockholders can not be had, of di
viding the stock among all the peo
p’e—farmers, fruit growers, gardeners,
merchants aud others—and collect it
in monthly installments of 10 per
cent- This would come very light on
the stockholders His plan would
ba to start ts soon as possible so as to
put producers oh notice iu time for
spriug p’anting. Ha fa willing to
take stock, to superintend the build*
ing and putting in the machinery,
running the ea.ablfahment and mar-
k ting the goods. He proposes to
give satisfactory inferences and to do
whatever may b j r< quired of him by
l:e company, it organized. He ex
pects to be in ThomaaviUe soon, and
if the people will take an interest in
the matter he will take off his coat
ud go to work. A factory would
prove a wise investment fur the peos
pie of the countv even if the stock
donated, which will not be asked,
and we throw out these scattering re
ex's'ere- detracts correspondingly

Business Increasing.
Mr- W. H. Mitchell hu just re
turned from a two weeks' visit to
Chicago and other western cities
whither he went In the
interest of the Cabana City Cigar
Co., of which he fa a member. He
says that the goods of this company
are taking well wherever they have
been introduced, and that consider
ing the general depression felt by all
lines of business, he did much better
than he anticipated. He placed so
many orders that the company finds
it necessary to increase their manu
facturing force. While similar factories
are closed or running with light force
it speaks well for Thomasville that
her factories should have to increase.
What will be the result when the
cigars made here become generally
known on the markets of the nation ?

Surgeon Murray appeared, before

The Public School System
Conyers carried public schools in
an election there on Saturday, by a
vote of 225 to 39, and the town will
be supplied forthwith with a first class
public school system*—Atlanta Jour

Heie is certaioly a pointer for
Thomasville. Conyers is a place
with a pcpu’ation of opt over two
thousand, with far less preteosi
than Thomasville, yet she,
other stilt smaller towns, points the
way to educational progress and
leaves Tnomasville behind. It is a
well known fact, that the days 0!

Confederate Veterans.
The call published iu our Suud&y’s
issue for a meeting of the Confederate
Veterans Association of Thomas
county cn the 23rd ot Ojt. was in
correct. The date should have been
Sept. 23. This mistake having gone
abroad, and the time being so short
for a meeting on the 23rd inst. it has
been decided to change tbe time to
the 30th iost., and the official call, to
this effect, appears elsewhere.
We would urge upon all members
of the Association, and all other
Confederate veterans who have not
joined to attend the meeting at the
office of Haosell & Merrill on Satur
day, Sett. 30th, at 10:30 a. m.
Twenty-eight years have e’apw.d
since those who wjre the grey laid
down their arms and returned to their
homes and loved ones. No class of
citizens have labored more cheerfully
or more zealously to build up tbe
places laid waste by the war than
those who rfaked their lives, shed their
blood and sacrificed their hea'th and
fortunes in defence of the lost catise.
There fa no class to day more loyal to
the stars aud fitripes than these same
battle-scarred, silver haired veterans
of the confederacy. While not
ashamed of the principles then es
poosed, nor of the patriotism and
chivalry so often illuitrated on the
battle field, they are, and have been
since the day of surrender, as loyal to
the government aa they who wore the
bine. Time is rapidly decimating
their ranks, , and until all shall have
'crossed over the river’’ and are
'resting coder the shade of the trees,"
it is meet that they come together at
least once a year to revive old memo
rie8and to plight anew old friend
ships.

private schools in a community .carried
on at starvation rates ot tu ton,
efficient woik is impossible, and
competent instructors are soon dis
couraged and leave for localities where
a higher valuation is placed upon
their energy, skill and intel’igence.
Wherever the public graded school
system has b^en introduced the Ux~
payer* and others who first opposed
it soon saw their folly and the addi-
tional valuation brought to real estate
turned the same tax payers and
kickers into the most earnest advo
catts of the system. Of course such
citizens are not public spirited. Their
change of tactics fa based upon no
appreciation of educational benefits
accruing to the community, but simply
upon a realization of the increase ..in
the demand tor real estate and conse*
quent valuation. Is it to be supposed
that the tax payers of Atlanta or, if
yon prefer a smaller city—Griffin or
Rome—are not fully aware of what
they have been doing for these many
years back in their energetic and en
thusiastic maintaicence of tbe public
graded school system? Would not
the mistake have been found in lets
than two years had it existed? Can
Thomasville make a mistake io copy
ing the good cxtmple set her by Com
yeft? Here it what the people and
papers of Columbus say of their
system of graded schools: ‘The
educational system of Columbu3 has
b eh more productive of citizenship
than every thing else combined of
which Columbus boasts. Its* public
schools have always been generously
fjsttrcd by the* city and never have
the cry fathers dealt wHi them in an
unstinted maocer. The best and
most intelligent men of the city con
stitute the board of education and it
ts an institution of which Columbus
is proud.”
If Mayot Hopkins wishes to signal
ize his admintstratiou and have the
present and future generation rise up
and bless him; let him s’rike down
p!d fogy ism, raise the cry ot fendm,
fendus, prepare the bill, hand to it our
wide awake young representative,
Roddenbery, and when passed call
for an election and devise ways and
means for carrying out the desire of
the people for free graded scboo!s.
