Interesting Analysis Made by Bishop Stang of Fall River. In a recent address in St. Mary’s cathedral Bishop Stang of Fall River thus analyzed tl\e functions of the state: “The state should not absorb the rights of individuals, but should keep them inviolate unless they clash with the common good and the interests of others. The proper office of the gov ernment is to foster public well being and private prosperity by maintaining peace and good order, safeguarding family life, respecting religion and punishing evil doers. “Civil authority may step in to in terfere if through strikes there is im minent danger of disturbance to the public peace, if in workshops and fac tories there is danger to morals through the mixing of sexes or from any occasion of evil, if the health of laltorers is endangered by excessive work or the want of sanitary arrange ments or if labor is unsulted to sex or age, but the state should not intervene in or meddle with private concerns any further than is required for the rem edy of the evil or the removal of the •danger. The state should not only protect private ownership as some thing sacred and inviolable, but its pol icy should be to induce as many people as possible to become owners. The possessor of the poorest cabin will not change it for the dreams of a socialis tic paradise.” Georg'ia School A qf Technology fcgj FIFTEE2N FREE SCHOLARSHIPS ASSIGNED TO EACH 1/ §!/''. 7 Write tl cnca rs^ardin i this opportunity. \ / qpHE GEORGIA SCHOOL 0?

It seemed that Uncle Mose had fallen foul of a bulldog while in tlie act of entering the hen house of the dog’s ovvuer. “Look here. Uncle Mose,” the justice said informally, “didn’t I give you ten days last month for this same thing? Same henhouse you were trying to get into. What have you got to say for yourself?” Uncle Mose scratched his head. “Mars Willyum, yo’ sent me ter de chain gang fer tryin’ ter steal some chickens, didn’t ye?” “Yes, that was the charge.” “An’ don't de law say yo’ can’t be charged twice wid de same ’feuse?" “That no man shall be twice placed in jeopardy for the identical act, yes.” “Den, sail, yo’ des hab ter let me go, sah. Ah war after de same chickens, sab!”—Washington Post. JACKSON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, #st 1907. The Jacksonian is Refused Access to The Jackson Tax Assessment for Publication Much Criticism of the City Officials on Account The Refusal The Jacksonian employed a young man to copy the tax assessment of tne real estate of Jackson made for the year 1907. The clerk and Treas urer of the city, Geo. Carmichael, re fused to let the assessments be copied We desired this information for pub lication. Citizens of Jackson the book is a public documsnt and you are enti tled to this information. Is the assessment so unequally made that it will not stand public in spection and comparison? This re fushl shows up very badly for those in authority. 0. H. B. BLOODWORTH WILL RUN FOR GON6RESS. Rumors are in circulation to the ef fect that Hon. O. H. B. Bloodworth will be in the race for Congress from the Gth and will not run for the Judgeship of the Flynfc circuit as was at first predicted. Mr. Bloodworth is very popular and makes friends readily. Hon. Chas. L. Bartlett the present member from the Gth is also an old campaigner and very popular, and this, coupled with the fine rec ord he has made in Congress makes it look extremely interesting nt this time, and we predict the old sixtji twill be up against a real campaign, such as has not been seen since the i days when Whitfield and Bartlett ' made the race fourteen years ago. 1 SINGING AT PLEASANT GROVE FIRST SUNDAY IN JULY.

SEVENTEEN PER CENT A YEAR. Depreciation of the Electric Plant In a Minnesota Town —Interesting Holdup. The burning down of the municipal electric light plant of East Grand Forks, Minn., lias probably settled the question of its abandonment, which was under discussion prior to the fire. A well Informed correspondent writes that “the plnnt hns furnished a some what Indifferent service and did not earn enough to pay the fuel and labor accounts, to say nothing about Inter est ou investment, depreciation, etc.,” in spite of its charging private custom ers $l2O a year for 1.2(H) e. p. arcs on moonlight schedule. As East Grand Forks Is a border town and right across the line in North Dakota (a prohibition state) Is the city of Grand Forks, about 00 per cent of the business houses in East Grand Forks are saloons. Many of these got their electric lights from a private company In Grand Forks, be cause the service was better and the price lower, until the council passed a resolution to the effect thut no saloon would be licensed unless It patronized the municipal plunt. There is a curious discrepancy be tween the various reports as to the value of the plant. In January the city authorities reported that the plant had cost $32,000. Three months later they estimated the Are loss at SIO,OOO, although we understand that the plant Is entirely destroyed, nnd adjusted the loss at $5,000, the plant having been In sured for $8,400. As It was Installed In 1002, It looks us though the deprecia tion amounted to 84 per cent In five years, or 17 per cent a year. The plant will probably not be rebuilt. Health Recipe.

There Is this Important difference! between public and private Indebted ness: The Individual may mortgage Ills' home or other property, and If the pur pose for which the mortgage Is given proves a failure the property may bo lost to him, and ou his death his heirs simply receive so much less thnu they otherwise would, but the indebtedness casts no burden upon them. It may wipe out Ills entire property nnd they receive nothing. To that extent they may suffer if a failure to Inherit prop erty can be called suffering. But pub lic Indebtedness Is of a different char acter. It does not wipe out property now existing, but it casts it burden upon the industries and toll of those who come after us. Interest and prin cipal are met by taxes, and taxes con tinue from age to age until the debt is paid. They who come after us, who may receive little or no benefit from the debt, are called upon to contribute the proceeds of their labor to its pay ment. In other words, while private Indebtedness does not mortgage or in cumber future industry nnd labor, pub lic indebtedness does. And In piling up public Indebtedness wo too often forget that the future will have its bur dens—that there will be demands upon it for expenditures. Improvements and* conveniences corresponding to the life of that day will be needed. So that there Is Injustice In creating a public* Indebtedness for Improvements which will be mainly nvnilnble In our day and only to a slight degree of benefit to those who come after us. Indeed, generally speaking, It is fair to each generation to determine what amount of public burdens It will a#r Bume, and each Bhould take care of Its* own public Indebtedness.
