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, There are seven ex-Speakers of the National House of Representatives liv ing.

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. —Em’ly in Philadelphia Times. * . When Gen.
