HUGGINS IS DEAD. -Editorial Comment. m ■ STUDY AND ITS RESULTS- The farmers of the South are be coming more thoroughly educated in regard to their work day by day. They are learning howto make theii crops pay them the most money for the least expense. The farmers are the greatest stu dents to be found to-day in Georgia They are not studying the classics nor are they putting their extra timr on the study of those branches tbai simply polish. They are delving deeper than that; they are studying the great economic questions of the day ; they are seeking knowledgt concerning the best way in which to improve their farms and the cheapest y in which to plant, cultivate, har- est, and market their crops. They are learning the different ways in which the sciences touch the quistion of agriculture, and are ap plying the best ruxes of science to work upon the farm. The intensive system of farming is rapidly gaining strength i n , j } e farmers, because the more that class of our citizens studies upon the mat ter, the more favorably are they im pressed with its methods. It is a noticeable fact that the farmer who last year stretched his labors over one hundred acres of land, will this year in many instances cultivate much less land on the intensive plan, and we dare say he will make better crops and more money than he did last year. One of the most important lessons he has learned in his studies is, that by makiug bis own home supplies he is vastly benefited. The farmer’s wife this year will make clothes for her family, will raise her chickens and eggs and make milk and butter and vegetables for the household She will have her garden in which will be raised the supplies for the home. The farmer has about concluded that one of the heaviest drains upoD him is his guano bill, and that it makes the expense of cotton growing much heavier than it would be if he didn’t use it. So he has about de termined not to use so much guano: but to scrape up the manure that ac cumulates upon his place and use it instead. All this is the result of study, and the more the farmer studies these questions, the better farmer be be comes. A QUESTION OF MUSIC- Some time since articles appeared in the daily press of the State in re gard to the question of music being caught in the public schools, and the statements went to show that Au gusta, Atlanta and Savannah were the only cities in Georgia that used the system oi music training of the Boston Conservatory. Now it doesn’t amount to anything, but at the same time the truth of matters of this kind should always be given, and the merit of introdu cing a system of teaching should rest where it belongs. It is a matter of record in the of fice of Ginn & Co., that the City of Athens was the first city in Georgia to introduce this system of music training into the public schools, and this was done at the very start of our system in 1886. Augusta fol lowed suit in 1889 and Atlanta, Co lumbus and Macon in 1890. Moreover, here in Athens every teacher teaches mcBic, while in the other cities mentioned, one or two teachers cover the entire ground. Thus Athens pupils get the benefit, of two hours on music each week while in the other cities only forty- five to six‘y minutes per week is al lowed to this branch. This is not written because 1 makes any material difference how it is regarded, but because the credit of introducing musical training into the schools of Georgia rightfully be longs to Athens. New Jersey is attaining distinction through a remarkable rooster case. One of her citizeus bas been arrested for stealing a copy of the noble bird, and the case rests on the ability of the own- to identify, which he can do only by the crow of the stolen property. The rooster was brought into court and com manded to crow, but refused to do so, there having been no recent democratic victory. The constable tickled him,and all the officials gave imitations of crow ing, but be could not be induced to dis play bis voice. Hence tbe hands of jus. lice fell nerveless. But if the case should be adjourned till mxt fall the witness will be heard. HUNTING HER FATHER. THE GROWTH OF OFFICES. Editor Watterson reads tbe people a lesson on the subject of offices showing how they become enormous burdens. He says : It is easier to create an office than to abolish it. Once created, the en tire ofilce-seeking public rallies to its support, and it matters not how use less it proves thousands look upon it as vested right. But more than this, every new of fice orcommission “create s business, as a new railroad does. The t ffice holders must at least seem to be do ing something. The result is thst their activity -is often •‘pernicious.” If work is not found in their own domain, they enter into the domain of other departments. Office holders come to have an idea that every office was created for their benefit, and any suggestion that, one < ffice be abolished arouses the entire class, who enter the contest with as much zeal and.fervor as men display when fighting for their homes and hearthstones. The growth of the Cabinet office is usually attributed to the growth of the country, and this is partly true, but the vast increase in the number of departments cannot be accounted for in the same way. The New Tork World in comment ing on this subject shows that the Agricultural Experiment Station,the Bureau of Labor Statistics, tbe Ni- An exchange is excited on war mat ters and says: When coming out of the opera in Washington the other night the Brazil ian miuister violated the police regula tions by ordering up bis carriage ahead of Senator Dolph’s, which had the pre cedeuce. Up to the present time the present time the minister has not re ceived his passport, and our relations with Brazil continue harmonious. There’s no telling what is going to hap pen, however. Tuese are troublou: times. ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT. The Council to all appearances is not going to fool with Mr. Howell and his propositions in regard to the Water Works question any long er. That body meets Monday after noon and will in all probability elect a Commission, as suggested by The Banner, and put the entire matter in their charge. A new system of works will be erected at some place to be deter mined upon by the Commission aDd it will be of each a nature as to lul fill every demand made upon it. When the city builds this new system of works it will build for the future, and everything will be fin ished up in tLe very best style. The water bonds will be voted by the citizens, and they can be floated at par. There will be no trouble in erecting the works after the Council has taken the initiative, which will probably be done next Monday af ternoon. A SIGNIFICANT FACT. It is a fact cf which the farming all classes should be proud that they furnish to tbe ministry nearly of its workers. While the cities do their work to wards the upbuilding of the material interests of the Nation, the country furnishes the laborers that go into the vineyard of the Lord and up build the interests of thfr Church. The last few Conferences of the Methodist Church of Geprgia show, ed that there was a remarkable lack of young ministers furnished, from the city churches, and if that de nomination were shut op within the city churches to find its ministers, it would be terribly weakened. What is true of them is trne of other churches.. The country is fur nishing the ministers of the Gospel, and of such service it should be proud. The Sad News Received In Athens Thursday Afternoon. The following telegram was received Friday afternoon by Messrs. L. Z. Welch aDd Willie Craue, and bears sad news to many hearts in Athens: Xula, Ga , Jan’y 28. Tommie is at rest. He breathed his last at half past two. J H Huggins, Jr.” Nearly everybody in Athene knew the bright and genial Tom Huggins, and none knew him but to love him. He was one of those fraDk, warm-hearted boys that gathered friends wherever he went, and with all whom he btcame associated. The greater part of his life was spent in Athens, he being the youngest son of Col J.H. Huggins, who some years siDce left Athens and made Lula his home. The school days of Mr. Hug gins were spent here, he having attend ed the Univeisity of Georgia and many of his old school mates will shed a tear of sorrow when they read the°e lines. A few days ago Mr. Huggins was a robust, healthful young man, and this morning it is hard to realize that he is no more. How truly this sad death brings to mind the quotation, “in the midst of life we are in death.” Last Monday afternoon, ho and a young friend were taking a pleasant horseback ride, when his steed became frightened and threw him to the ground, dislocating his neck, causing paralysis, after which accident he nev er again spoke. Mr. Huggins was about twenty-six years of age, and his was indeed A Lost Child Writes to Loam of His Whereabouts. The Banner is in receipt of a com- municition from a young girl in Cali fornia who is trying to find the where abouts of her father. It tells its own story and is as follows: ‘I am trying to find my father. I am told his name is James F. Baily. I have no recollections of him, nor do I remember that I ever looked upon the face of a relative. My mother died fif teen years ago in Boone county, Iowa t when I whs a year old. Shortly after my mother’s death, I was adopted by a neighbor named Morgan. \V nen I was 3 years old we moved to Nebraska, and at this time father lost track of me. 1 understand that he endeavored to find me, but was basely led by an interested party to believe that I had died I have only recently learned that the Morgans are not my parents. They are nothing to me; I am nothing to them. The thought makes me home sick, lonely and sad I believe my fa ther is living somewhere in this wide world, and if he is, I mean to find him You can assist me it you will, bat I can offer no reward at present except my gratitude and my blessing. If you arc unable to give me any information re garding my father, please help me to publish this notice, and oblige, Sin cerely y, urs, Beta Baily, San Bernardo, Cal Papers please copy.
