The multiplication of mankind’s

stead of “stopping the leaks,” many
additional bungboles have been bored
into the state’s treasury, and year
after vear the people find it harder
and harder to keep the thing filled
in order to meet the slate's obliga
tions. The prudent citizen can but
view with alarm the future pros
pect.
The enormous expenditures for
public schools and pensions are a
burden that the state will have to
hear whether right or wrong, .but
both of these systems should be
shorn of contingent frauds to which
they are exposed. We shall al
ways love the cause for which our
veterans fought and feel under obli
gation to provide for them and their
widows in their poverty, but in jus
tice to all the people, we think the
line should he drawn right there.
What justice is there in the stale’s
paying pensions to people who are
amply able to live without them?
We have not yet reached the ex
tent to which the tax rates will have
to go unless these things are cor
rected and a law enacted by which
the t.ax dodger nan be caught. O ,r
only hope to hold down the tux rate
is to revise the pension laws, to justly
administer the public school fund
am! devise some means of making all
classes of citizens bear their proper
donate burden of the taxes.

While South Georgia needs aud
would greatly appreciate the votes of
North Georgia, yet thin paper does
not favor our begging that section
for iho governorship. Such tactics
would be out of line with North
Georgia’s altitude, which has not
been one of “Ask and receive,” but
rather “Name and lake” and go her

The day is not , r ir distant, and
others are beginning to see it, when
this end of the state shall demand a
share of tl e public offices together
with their, honors and emoluments.
The phenominal iuercasv of ibis sec
tion both iu population and wealth
during the past ten’years bus begun
to open the eyes of the entire state,
so that aftci many seasons of rcli-
oeuee and submission, we' are soon
to claim our own.
The tide is at last turning our way
and rather than beg we prefer to
stand up and claim what is in justice
due us.
There should be enough of true
patriotism, and wo believe there is,
in the upper portion of the state a
sufficient sense of justice, to concede
willingly to South Georgia a fair
distribution of the honors which be
long to her.
There’s no use in charging political
greed to north Georgia when every
one knows that she has always al
lowed this end of the state to elect
members to the legislature.
