The article of “What is n Teach er” will appear next week. The Georgia hanks are all said to he in a splendid condition. The constitutionality of special school district laws will he tested in the courts. The new vagrant law caused .‘58 negro couples to secure license and marry last Monday in Macon. Twenty persons, negroes and whites, among them negro wo men, were arrested in Atlanta Monday night under the Calyin vagrant law. Fifty persons were poisoned one day last week at Roanoke Iiapids, N. C., by eating ice cream, killing one man and causing others to be critically ill. The state board of health, com posed of eleven members, was named by the governor last week. Dr. Giles Hatchcock of Bellton, will represent the ninth district. Politics are getting very warm now down in Hall county. The democratic primary for solicitor and lodge of city court comes off the last Wednesday in September. The White county Blue Ridge fence law bill passed by tho recent legislature, but was vetoed by Gov. Terrell because he bclievod a special law of this kind unconstitn* tional. r ! he Calvnn vagrant law is cans • ing many arrests in various cities of Georgia. Fourteen were made in Macon Friday. Loafers will have to go to work or leave the state. Many counties have already made application for their quoto of convicts given them by tho re cently adopted act. We don’t sup pose Lumpkin county will ask for any, as it would cost too much to prepare for them in a small county like ours. Paper gloves and stockings are now being manufactured in Europe. As to tho manner in which the former are made little is known, but tho stockings have been carefully examined by ex perts, and they are loud in their praiso of them. All the tax digests of tho state have been received by the Comp troller General and the consolidat e od returns aside from the railroad and other public utility taxes show Georgia’s property to bo worth $432,767,881, an increase over last year of $22,350,701.

On Thursday of last week a head end collision occurred between the heavy work car on the Gaines-, ville electric railway and an open passenger ear coming from the river, mooting in a cut. Mr. L. G. Potter, treasurer of the Gainesville cotton Mill, had a leg broken and Mr. B. 11. Whelehe! was slightly injured. Motcrman U. G. Hughes was slightly bruised. The N. G A. College and its j 1 Critics. Editor Nugget: I hope that tho friends of tho N. G. A. College will not take too seriously the remarks, or state meet, recently made by our Broth er Rev. Mr. Marks, the resident pastor of the Methodist church, of Dnhloncga, at the late conference of bis church, at Monroe, Walton county. It must be remembered that Mr. Marks is hero in dis charge of his various clerical duties, under the direction of the Bishop of his church, and among these duties ho is required to look after educational mattors, especially in tho interest of his denomination al institutions and denominational newspapers. He is not supported by the stale lint by the church. No one should find fault with him for advancing the cause of Emory and Young Harris colleges. Baptist ministers do tho same for Mercer University. The past four pastors of tho Dahlonega Baptist church have been grad uates of Mercer, to wit: Parks, O’Kelly, DcWeesc and Gunn, and ta proper times, all of these men have laid the claims of Mercer' be fore their people, and all these men have sent some means to its support. Mercer University is their Alma Mater and although not required by any law or rule of the church to do this, they arc grateful enough to do it, and noth ing has been said or done to pre vent it. Tho writer has for twen ty years past, or more, contributed to Mercer ouo way or another, and shall continue to do so, either in money to the students themselves or to the Endowment Fund. This ho has done ns a Baptist, feeling it to be his duty to do so. When the Presbyterians build their great University and put it in operation, as I hope they will before long, they will have their agents m the field soliciting stu dents. These agents may he the ministers of that church, members of the faculty or special traveling agents, or all of them, if the an thurifies of tho Presbyterian Uni versity so direct, which would be right and proper. All educational institutions in Georgia have adopted the best means in their power to secure stu dents. Recently the University of Georgia, though it has hundreds of ex-students, and a large number of graduates, and offers free tuition, thinks it proper, if not necessary, to send a salaried officer of expo rienco to travel all over the State of Georgia, the entire year solicit ing students. Denominational in stitutions, with no aid from the state, and compelled to charge tuition fees, are obliged, in self defence, to put agencies of some sort in tho field, otherwise those useful institutions of learning might languish. Whether Rev. Mr. Marks went be yond proper bounds in commenting upon ttie N. G. A. College at Monroe, or not, I am not prepared to say. For sufficient reasons to him he may not care to send his children here. He might be censured by his Bishop, if he did so. But there are certain limits within which it Jins been diftcult, at times, to keep various clergymen when they are at work in Dahlonega and its vicinity. Some of them have found fault with the N. (1. A. College because it is not more of a denominational or religious school, and have sought to inject their views more or less offensively. One of them, Rev. Mr. Cofer, entered the col lege grounds some years ago and by scattering printed matter among the students, endeavored to prevail on some of the young men to leave the college and go where “God was worshipped all the year round.” He did this only one time, so far as the writer knows. Per haps his better judgment prompted him to drop this course. -Another Min ister saw proper to write one or more abusive articles in his church paper because Col. Lewis, (of beloved mem ory), and other members of the fac ulty, and under their especial eye, at the close of the week at proper seasons, allowed the pupils to enjoy themselves at social plays, even dancing!

JONES ty of any Denominational college in Georgia, being selected largely with that idea in view. Scholarship is sought for, but no one would be select ed who did not possess a character for Christian virtues. The faculty is com posed of ten persons, male and female. Of these seven are members of differ ent denominations, to-wit: Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Episco palian. Many of the students belong to these different churches. We al most invariably have some Catholic and Hebrew pupils. The attendance of these on Sunday church services is not required, but all have to at tend chapel service. A majority of these professors do Sunday School work every Sunday, and, if the pupils desire, they can receive about the same amount of Bible instruction each week, as the average student gets at Mercer or Emory. The Bible is present at every chapel exercise. A large, number of former students are Ministers of the Gospel, a few are Mis sionaries, both at home and in foreign lands. Our lawyers, editors and en gineers are all over Georgia, as well as our doctors, while our farmers are numerous and will become more so. No convention, religious or political, assemblies in Georgia, without the North Georgia College young man or young woman is there to push along evefy meritorious project. If you search the army you will find there officers from this college. If you go to the Navy you will likewise find them. For thirty-two years I have been try ing, with all my might, to keep tl;c church and state separate ; at least, keep a few preachers in this part of Georgia from forcing themselves on some of the state’s prerogatives. In JOHN H. MOORE DEALER IN ALSO A FULL LINE OF Young men who graduate from the de nominational schools, are a little bit illiberal minded, straight laced and tainted somewhat with religious bigo try, or no religion at all. Between these two opinions, it be comes necessary to have all the schools the people can afford to have. W. P. Prick, Sr., President of Board of Trustees N. G. A. College Auraria Items. Mr. Bob Wood has a smile on fttce extending clear behind his ears. He has worked our road this week. Prof. Keith went to Atlanta' this week on business. The bus iness is not known but it is pre- i sumed that it was to close a con- 1 tract on matrimony. We are glad to hear from our neighbors in other parts of the county. It gives us a chance to know what other people are doing. On next week we are going to give the names of all the patrons of this school and also the num ber of pupils each one is sending. So look out and see what we are doing. Mr. John H. Summerour went to Gainesville this week in the in terest of his mines. He expects to begin work in about a month with a determination to get some gold. The interest in the school is still increasing. We have new pupils other words: let Caesar alone. For , , ,, ,, ... r , , 1 every week together with the rec sixteen years of my life I lived under a j i J ° State Constitution which contained 1 °rds of better work. A minister was conducting a se ries of meetings in Jackson county recently. At the morning service he called on a layman to pray. Tho brother began as follows: “Oh, Lord we thank thee that thou has spared our lives to this good day. We thank thee that during all our life wo have never sinned. We thank thee, Oh, Lord, that we have never had any desire to sin.” The preacher—Lord, the brother is lying. That next night when the preacher returned to hold the night service the door was locked and the luce ting was no more. anything, by the aforesaid cleregyman, and yet the writer saw the daughter of that same divine, leave her boarding house in Atlanta, dressed in the height of fashion, for a public ball-room—the mother arranging her toilet for the evening, and the father being present at the time. If objections were made the writer heard none. The good “lady of the house,” is yet living to prove the truth of what i say if it he denied. The object for writing the letters was too apparent. If the college here was a denomma- this provision : “Ministers of tlieGos- pel, being peculiarly set apart for the cure of souls, shall not have seats in the General Assembly.” It worked well. The sessions of the General As sembly were made shorter thereby, and some heart-burnings prevented. There is not now a public, school in Lumpkin county under the control of a church. Six years ago hardly a school that did not meet in a church of some denomination. These churches largely controled the teachers and the govern ment of the schools for private advan tage. Only one. school now assembles in a church house. This is at Mt. I’is- gah, but the church officers, nor its members have any control, whatever, over the teacher or the school. If they ever should have a complaint it goes first to the Board of Education. This is the law, and it is recorded in both the Church Book and the Minutes of the Board. The writer does not wish lobe under stood as opposing denominational schools. If lie received any higher knowlcgo than is furnished at the pub lic school, he obtained it at. a denomi national school, (FurmanUniversity), buthe believes that all primary, or preparatory education should be furnished by the state. When this is not done, then the denominations should do all they can to give their children an education. By all means, educate them. Where all the primary or preparatory education is given by the state in schools presided over by Christian teachers, with the Bible ever present, the denominational colleges and schools will be able to do far more and better educational work than they now do. I have not desired to wound any feel ings in writing this article but I have thought that the occasion had arrived, as il does ever once in awhile, when some things should be talked over and explained. It will be necessary for the state and the churches to do all lhey can to re move the great cloud of illiteracy tional college, the boys and girls would 1 which still hangs over our people.
