KDIf'ATION.
It is well that the public mind in Geor
ge j H being directed to t lie subject of ed
uration. It has been virtually neglected
long enough.
pr. A. G. Haygood recently made a
powerful appeal in a sermon to the mem
hew of the Legislature, for six months
schools. His statement that the present
school law allows only about 85 cents per
head per annum for the children of school
rt , jn the State, has put many people to
thinking, and wo hope the agitation of
t I, P subject will produce fruit.
Put the real sensation on the subject
was created by somepositions taken in a
sermon by Rev. J. 0 A. Clark, at the
Mwsion of the North Georgia .Conference,
at Milledgeville last week.
The doctor vehemently arraigned the
white men of the South and Georgia par
ticularly for their carelessness on this
vital question. He declared that the ed
ucation of the graduates of the Atlanta
I'niversitj is far better than that of the
graduates of the State University or
Kin cry College. He argued that all the
negroes needed to become supreme ma
terially and socially in the South was
superior education; that the white men
of the North ably seconded by the negroes
themselves are using every effort to edu
cate Southern negroes.
Altogether it was a magnificent plea of
arousing energy*on this question among
(lie whites of the South.
The general drift of public sentiment
seems to be that the doctor was most
t o o intense in his phiilippic. There is,
however, but one opinion as to its elo
quence and the idea prevails, notwith
standing the (lisagreeableness of the
truth, that the general meaning of the
address, that education is the test of
superiority of race, is true.
Wnen the colored people of the South
are receiving money by the million from
Northern philanthropists, for their edu
cation, it is high time that we take some
heroic measures for combatting ignor
ance.
I)r. Felton made a speech in the Legis
lature last Friday, in favor of support
ing our educational institutions, and in
creasing the common school fund, that
is pronounced by the Atlanta papers as
the greatest speech of his life. The old
man eloquent held the house and the
crowded galleries spell bound while speak
ing, and when he closed, the applause was
continued for some time.
rt is evident that the present Legisla
ture is with the doctor on this all-impor
tant subject, and we may expect the
present body to devise more liberal
Things than any of its predecessors for
the cause of education.
Let the agitation goon until our whole
people are fully awake to the importance
of education.
ANOTHER DE.IIAM) FOR BETTER
MENTS.
f l he demand made of the last General
Assembly for betterments by the lessees
of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, was
on the sth inst., renewed by Hon. Joseph
10. Brown, as President, and it is less
vague and more threatening than the
first. His communication was trans
mitted to both branches of the Legisla
ture, but was not read in either house.
The Enquirer-Sun correspondent was per
mitted to examine the documents, which
the following brief outline will fully
explain.
The communication states that the
lease will expire December 27, 1890, and
the further disposition of the road and
the settlement with the lessees devolve
upon this Legislature. The lessees in
plain terms claim betterments and a re
funding of the taxes paid by the lessees
to the StaJe of Tennessee.
To enforce the claim of betterments, if i
the State refuses to meet it, Senator
Brown proposes in this communication
to let the property run down to the con
dition in which it was when the lessees
received, as far as actually possible. It,
on the contrary, the State settles the
claim for betterments, the Senator says,
“we will turn the road over in its present
excellent condition to the State.”
To enforce the claim for a refunding of
taxes paid the State of Tennessee, the
Senator explains that the lessees allowed
tax fi fas to be issued in Tennessee against
the property in that State who were paid
through a trustee who still holds them.
They will attempt to enforce them in Ten-
at the termination of the lease, it
the claim is not adjusted.
S ‘iiator Brown proposes as heretofore
to submit these matters to arbitration.
He refers to the report of the commission
appointed by resolution of the. last Legis
lature to appraise the property which
estimated the betterments at abouts7so,-
000, which, in lieu of any other settle
ment, the Senator says the lessees are
willing to accept.
Southern Industrial Renaissance.
We predict for the South during the
next few years, says the American Arti
san, a wave of industrial enterprise tar
beyond anything that section has ever
known. A tolerative spirit and a desire
to build up the material interests of our
country without regard to class or sec
tion is being manifested on every side,
and all good citizens will assist to plough
a held whose harvest means the general
good. Capital and commercial ambition
are being directed toward the South,
and it is but a question of a short time
when the hum of the factory and the
sound of the carpenter's hammer upon
the cottages of its busy and thriving
operatives wil 1 resound throughout that
fair portion of our country, und the
mercantile and manufacturing centers
of the North will find enterprising and
worthy rivals along the rivers and amid
the valley# of the South, The hand of a
common citizenship should find a cor*
dial clasp in Maine as well as in Texas,
and the interest of the nation, the State
and the citizen should be single, vital,
inseparable.
The North has capital, enterprise, mer
cantile ability and mechanical skill; the
South has a field awaiting the occupancy
of these important industrial essentials.
Let the hand of trade fellowship i>e ex
tended by mutual consent, and let the
great force of commerce and manufac
turing move in harmonious action all
over our broad land, that peace and the
common welfare Hiay find foothold on
every part of its surface.
A Uar.l of Thank*.
Acworth, Dec. 10, 1888.
Editors Courant-American : W ill you
allow me a small space in your valuable
paper to express my gratitude and sin
cere thanks to the good, kind, noble
hearted people of Cartersville for the
many lavors and gifts of blessings to my
unfortunate afflicted children while they
were so long and painfully suffering, and
to save life had to have one leg ampu
tated, Many of the good christain peo
ple of Cartersville had so much sympathy
for the poor and suffering, they admin
istered liberally to their wants for which
they shall ever have a warm place in my
heart. And, to the loved pastor of the
church who manifested so much interest
in their welfare, may he live many years
to come, and be clothed with a double
portion of the spirit of grace to preach
the glorious gospel of the blessed God,
and be instrumental in bringing* many
precious souls to Christ, is the prayer of
the writer. A. M. Nokthcutt.
Legislature to Adjourn Ealyr—Felton anti
the State Road Lease.
Special to Macon Telegraph.
Atlanta, Dec. 9.—lt is almost certain
that the general assembly of Georgia
will adjourn in a few days.
The leading members of the body are
of the opinion that the general appro
priation bill and the tax act will have
been passed by that time, and then all
other business will be set aside to be con
sidered at the adjourned session next
summer.
Dr. Felton said a few days ago that he
had hoped that the Western and Atlan
tic railroad matter would be settled be
fore adjournment, but that now he sees
that it will necessarily have to go over
until the summer session. The doctor
seems to be very strong with the mem
bers of the House and is often approach
ed for advice upon leading matters.
The Alii ance.
Eufaula Times.
The alliance folks teach among others
two principles that this paper cordially
endorses.
It is doing all in its power to induce its
members to abandon the credit system.
Then again, it is well known that it in
sists that its members, if so unfortun
ate as to get in debt, shall pay such ob
ligations promptly.
If the Alliance taught nothing else it
could be excused and applauded for its
existence. The next best to keeping out
of debt is to discharge those debts
promptly.
But don’t go in. You can’t live, much
less prosper, paying the ruinous rates of
interest necessary to secure money in
this country. No business can stand it;
banking, merchandising, professional or
farming. It is impossible, for five years
in succession, to dig bread and meat and
twenty per cent, out of the ground. It
won’t come.
A misapprehension seemsTto exist
about the Alliance. Ihe Alliance was or
ganized for the protection of the farmer.
It is not intended to fight the merchant,
the professional man or town. It is for
the farmer simply and is fighting his
battle.
Wintering Sweet Potsitoes.
Kansas Farmer. " ZZZ
Some kinds ar<* much better keepers
than others. Of course these should be
stored for winter use, even if not quite
as good ns those whose keeping quali
ties are poor. An exchange says these
latter should be the first after digging to
be eaten, and the former kept to the last.
The best range of atmosphere when
stored is from 00° to 70°. Ik is desira
ble not to have the thermometer range
higher than this, but if it falls to 50° no
harm will probably be experienced, pro
vided the air be kept dry, which is very
essential, let the atmosphere be as it
may. The cellar is an excellent place to
store sweet potatoes when well ventila
ted and kept dry. The packages hold
ing the potatoes ought not to rest on
the ground, and ought not to touch each
other or the sides of the room. Straw
or a couple of joists can be laid down,
one foot apart or so, for the boxes or
barrels holding the potatoes to rest on,
and thev should not be placed nearer
than 4to 0 inches to the wall or each
other; then the air can circulate all
around and assist in keeping the mois
ture from them. See that rats and mice
are kept awav. This may easily be done
if the cellar floor is cemented, a tight
wall of brick or stone all around the
sides, and mouse traps are set iu the
windows,

BEAUTY AND DIET.
LAWS WHICH ALL DAUGHTERS OF
EVE SHOULD ALWAYS OBEY.
Pickles, Strong Tea and Overdone Beef the
American Girl’s Diet —Padding and Cos
metics Used to Patch Up Marred Beauty.
A Suggestion or So.
Flesh texture and tint perform a most
important function in female beauty.
To preserve and improve them demands
the strictest observance of sanitary laws.
A bad skin, lacking tint, plumpness
and elasticity. Indicates want of good
ness in the vital or nutritive system.
Diet, digestion, teinjjerature, oi>en air
exercise, sleep and tranquillity of mind
are absolute necessities to every woman
who wishes to keep her youth.
As to diet, it Is only necessary to ask
what does the average American girl
sat? She sits down to a i>otato and a
pickle, three or four cups of strong tea,
pies, cakes, sweets and fiery condiments.
If she inedudes beef in her menu it is
only after roasting, frying and grilling
has reduced it to a state of complete in
digestibility. What is the result of such
a regime? By the time she is St), just at
the age nature intended her to be as flex
ible as a sapling willow, her eyes are
dull, her teeth yellow', her gums pale,
her lips wan and pallid, her flesh placid,
her skin horny and sallow’; in fact, all
the swell and sap of her womanhood is
either undeveloped or else quenched, de
stroyed, dried out. What then? To re
pair these unsightly damages she resorts
to padding, whitewashes, stains and bel
ladonnu and kolb for her eyes.
These are a gliastly substitute for the
burnished glow of health. Once to in
dulge in artificial cosmetics is to be tlicir
slave through all eternity.
THREE SIMPLE RULES.
The once famous beauty, Lola Montez,
■was heard to say the only real secret of
preserving beauty lay in three simple
things—temperance, exercise and cleanli
ness.
Peppered soups and stows, game pat
ties, ragouts and spices even moderately
indulged in will exorcise deteriorating
effects upon a delicate complexion.
Women who do not restrain their gas
tronomic propensities will acquire before
30 the heated, blotched Taco wo are wont
to associate with “high living,” whilo
the firm texture of the flesh and the
supple shape will soon bo replaced by
flabby softness and scraggy leanness.
During my few years of rather broad
and variegated experience studying
beauty and the habits of its fair pos
sessors, I have known only one who for
a series of years accustomed herself to
late hours, constant excitement, brain
work and censurable feasting without
erasing every trace of beauty. I saw her
looking as dainty as an ivory Isis after
eight years of such perilous self treat
ment as 1 shudder to describe. Physi
cians consider the case unique.
Women of nervous and sanguine tem
perament should restrict themselves to
a diet of eggs, milk, broad, salads, fruit,
light broths and tho Crustacea. They
should accustom themselves to drinking
aerated and natural mineral spring wa
ters, avoiding spices and condiments,
delicious and tempting as these fiery de
lights may be. In the matter of diet,
tho blonde is, by force of physiological
tendencies, constrained to stern self de
nial at table. It is an old saw among
doctors that blue eyes, flaxen hair and
the pink and white face mean struma.
Struma is a prettier word than scrofula,
but tho condition is tho samo and quite
as troublesome. These inllammablo tem
peraments are congestive, catarrhal,
gouty, and tea, coffee, underdone beef,
oily food, spices, alcoholic beverages and
opiates concur to produce a general un
healthy action of the skin in dryness,
pimples, blotches and discolorations.
Condiments, malt and spirituous drinks
and tincture of iron thicken tho blood,
giving it color and constituency. Tho
philosophy contained in tlio advice of
the expert in skin troubles to a lady who
consulted him in ref erence to a red nose,
upon hearing her habit to boa nightly
tipple of whisky and water, “leave out
the water and vour nose will soon be
purple,” is as old as it is reliable.
EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE.
A case which came under my imme
diate observation was that of an ashen
blonde whose skin was as fair and opaque
as white, lead, and whoso hair was unre
lieved by one amber gleam. After an
attack of typhoid fever, which, by the
way, is an effective purifier of tho sys
tem without being more dangerous than
many of the advertised complexion rem
edies, she was restored by iron tonics
and liquor, and the element these intro
duced into tho blood dyed her checks
crimson and her new svit of hair a ruddv
gold. There are temperaments which
are irritated by fish, buckwheat and hot
breads. Hives, sore eyes and annoying
skin disturbances are "the outgrowth of
their use.
For the slender, bilious brunette, whoso
blood is thin and whose temperament is
watery, a free diet of underdone beef
and port wine should replace the severe
regimen of the blonde. Tints, rather
than colors, are beautiful, and a blonde
of the ruddy type should exercise care in
selecting tonics. Those containing red
wine and iron color the skin to an ugly
brickdust, and I can confidently assert a
natural aperient is more clUcient in cor
recting all disorders of congestion and
circulation, and the evil consequences of
indiscretion in diet, than its printed
labels claim. When it is necessary to
renew the vital energies a two grain
pellet of quinine taken every evening for
a mouth will furnish tho blonde with
strength without increase of pigment.
Not only diet, but climate and temper
ature, exert a powerful influence upon
beauty. The white skins, unmingied
with chrome or bronze tints, are liable
to disorder from sudden changes of tem
perature ami imperfect ventilation.
Strong blazes of sunlight and rude winds
are both damaging to this type of com
plexion. Winter is the season of discon
tent for beauties ranging in this schedule;
the first touch of frost stagnates her
already imperfectly circulating blood.
She is happiest during tho days of pro
fuso perspiration, which is tho very
queen of cosmetics. Sudden change of
atmosphere in a room where tho mer
cury has fallen ten degrees over night
has been known to produce a thick red
rash on a delicate face. A mild diet and
a mild climate are main factors of beauty.
