FOR COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
An effort is* to l>e made to secure
at the next session of the legislature
a compulsory education law. A
number of strong orgi natations are
behind the movement, and are
waging an active campaign of ed
ucation on the subject.
Among the arguments that are
l) ing circulated, the following very
interesting facts are presented:
“Do jou know by the last census,
out of the four cities in the United
States where the highest percent
age of children of native white
stock nre being allowed to grow up
illiterate, two are Georgia cities?
“Judged by the ill its* racy in cities
Georgia stands ncxi 1? Ml? lowest
state ip the uniott?
■‘Taking all th* •* .. ,
. , * „ white and negro
children in Georgia from ten to
fourteen, one of every five is unable
to read and write?
“Georgia’s children of this age
have 31 times as high a proportion
of illiteracy as the children of Mas
sachusetts and 07 times as great a
proportion as the children of Ne
ll rusk a ?
“Every year oyer ten thousand
young people pass beyond the school
Age in Georgia, totally illiterate and
beyond the reach of future legisla
tion on tliis subject?
“Twelve per cent of all the white
men of voting age in Georgia have
been allowed to grow up illiterate?
“Do you realize that an over
whelming majority of the states
in the union require school atten
dance by law?
“Of the 10,(XK) most eminent
men in America, not one it an
illiterate but one out of every 42 is
a college graduate?
“The illiterates of the United
States furnish two and one-half
times as many criminals as an
equal number of those who can read
and write?” —Oconee Enterprise.

WHAT A SHAVE WILL DO.
Even Cameron’s Dog failed to Rec
ognize Him.
When Mr. Cameron appeared in
his door there was consternation.
In sudden decision he had conclud
ed to have his mustache shaved off,
and his appearence startled the fam
ily, which had for so long been ac
customed to seeing bis upper lip
covered with a growth of silky whis
ker that got in his way when he ate,
and that he chewed while smoking.
“John Cameron!” exclaimed his
wife, “what under heaven did you
doit for?” AJr. Cameron smiled,
£ n( ! big sillily the three Cameron
p*•• 1 * ! • *
children broke into how is u
ter and the baby yelled in fright.
This made Mr. Cameron angry.
“I don’t see anything so funny,”
he said. “Haven’t Ia right
to shave off my mustache if I
want to?” Mrs. Cameron, who had
laughed with the children, wiped
her eyes.
“Go look at yourself in the glass,”
she recommended. “You look too
funny for anything.” But Mr-
Cameron had stalked out on the
front porch.
He lighted a cigar and sat on the
porch fuming. Presently upon the
porch bounded old Major, the fam
ily dog of pointer persuasion.
Major stopped suddenly, indig
nation filled his soul and he stood
rigid, glaring at the unfamiliar face
with his hair bristling.
“Here, boy,” called the owner of
the.unfamiliar face. “Come here
to me.” With a yelp of mingled
relief and doubt Major rushed upon
him, smelt of him and fianally ac
cepted him as a fact.
Then into the yard came Mr.
French,the Cameron’s closest neigh
bor. He stared at Mr. Cameron
“ Beg pardon,” he said. “I was
looking for Mr. Cameron.” The
man on the porch glared at him.
He rose to his feet, his soul swell
ing with indignation.
“Well,” he said, “you’ve made
a mistake. He don’t live here.”
“But there’s his dog,” objected
the neighbor, but just then the dog
caught another look at his face,
tucked his tail between his legs and
fled.
“Funny,” said Mr. French as he
wended his way homeward. “Mov
ed. And that new man there-
Confound it, he had a voice just
like Cameron’s. Wonder when they
moved?”
“If they have,” said Mrs. French
later, “It’s news to me; I’ll call up
M rs. Cameron. Maybe that man
was a burglar.”
‘‘Ofc< >u rse, not, ’ ’ said M rs. Ca m -
eron over the ’phone. “It's a joke
on Mr. French. Why that was
John with his mustache shaved off.
1 didn’t know him myself. —Gal-
veston News.
Valuable Information.

Centuries ago the hen learned the
value of advertising and she has
cackled ever since.
