ONE GOOD DEED.
The action of the Jtonse In appropria
ting one million instead of tho usual
night hundred thousand dollars to tho
common schools of tho state ought to
. meet with the heartiest approval of pnb
lio splritodjcltizens throughout Georgia.
Tho legislature, ahp particularly the
House, has wasted lots of time this sum
morn# usual i, they have blared and
bleated when they should havo been
voting add acting, but the passage of
this increased appropriation is a mantle
< hat will cover a multitude of sins,
Surely the Senate will not spoil this
bsautifhl fabric.
As osnal, .Toe Hill Hall was found on

t endangering the entire appropriation
Ho thought it might lash the pfcopte of
the state Into rising np and wiping ont
tho direct appropriation for publio
schools at one single fell sweep.
How If the people In other ports of
Georgia loos at this matter ns South
Georgians do, they would laugh Mr. Hall
to scorn for such a statement. There is
not a more precious institution existing
today than the common schools; there
Is no institution existing for which tho
voters of the stato are more willing to

such public asset as an edneuted cit

"Yon loud mouthed advocates of tho
children, where is I hi* leading to?'
Mr. Hall asked. "Yon will finally get
all your convicts on the public roads and
then where will your school fund from
convict hire, be!”
In reply we would say that the sooner
we get all the convict* on the public
road* the better suited we will be. We
know of hardly more than one thing

unsightliness gets out of life Is enough
In itself to compensate him for all tea

much and nothing evidences real pros
perity *0 mneh as clean fields, clean
meadows and pastures, fences clear of
weeds, roadsides with only grass, as.lt
should be in every uncultivated spot.
Weeds should not be allowed to go to
seed anywhere on a farm. They should
be mowed down In late summer end
put, from tbe fence corners, and they
should be kept from growing in the
back yard. The farmer shonld say
what shall grow- on bis farm. Weeds
have no place anywhere. They have nat
rights, certainly not tbe right to re
produce themselves by being allowed
to go to seed. This Is plain, practical
sense, not mere fancy farming.—Breed

Two Broods, of Pl*s a Tear.
A good many- of our swlno raisers’
produce only one brood of pigs a year.
They say that the spring litter Is
easily taken care of and after weaning
goes onto green, succulent pasture
Tbst Is trite, but It should not be for
gotten that there ts something to be
said on the other side. The man who
la well equipped Tor swine raising has
considerable money Invested In bog-
houses, liens and the like. If two
broods arc raised a year the “plant,”
so called. Is kept In use the year
around/ owl can thus be arndc to earn
a good Interest on the investment.
After all, the question pf two broods
is-Jnrgciy one of winter feed of a suc
culent nature, and,most of our farm
ers arc inteijtgeiit enough to solve that
problem In due way or another. But
the mini who attempts to do this should
expect to give his litters more atten
tion In Ihe fall than In the spring. The
‘let alone” pollcy-wUI not prove to bo
a paying one in that case.
