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.

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 he taxed Immigration and mannfaota riororc ail important, but they form no such public asset as an edneuted cit Izenry. "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.

Nothing .pleases-the eye so 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 er’s Gazette. 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.
