Savannah has 280 barrooms in full
blast Several are owned and run by wo
men.
An income tax would not hurt the ed
itors of the Argus yery much at present.
So let ’er go!
There is one consolation we have for
1894, and that is it can’t be any worse
than 1893 was.
It is rumored that Bob Berner is to be
a candidate for Congress from this dis
trict at the election which takes place
this yeAr.
If Corbet and Mitchell can't get ago at
each other in Florida, they should get
aboard a ship and go out in the ocean to
have it out! Sea?
Hawaii’s Coon Queen is the general
topic of conversation at present. She is
creating as great consternation as the
Corbett-Mitchell contest.
We have just found our one reason why
Thomas E. Watson was not re-elected to
congress, his name lias the unlucky l 3
letters in it. That’s one reason.
The pretty new year calender sent out
by the Atlanta Journal is one of the
neatest newspaper presentations we
have yet fastened our eyes upon.
Prendergast, who murdered Mayor
Harrison, in Chicago, some time ago,
has been sentenced to hang. It’s a
mighty poor consolation to the murdered
mayor, however.
Evans and Atkinson are in the race tor
governor and we will bet a year’s sub.
scription that one of them will be elect
ed. We would tell which one but we’ve
promised not to until after the election.
If Mithell and Corbett want to fight
each other half as bad as they say they do,
■why dont they meet on the streets of
Jacksonville and maul each other until
both are satisfied—or dead-and then
waltz up before the recorder and pay $lO.-
75 for disorderly conduct? There are
more ways of killing a newspaper than by
stopping your subscription!
Now, as Atkinson and Evans have ex
pressed their desire for a fair ballot and
free count, whereby the winner may be
seleoted on his merits, would it not be a
good idea for the chairman of the Dem
ocratic committee to deposit both candi
dates in on® of the safe bank vaults of
Atlanta and let them remain there un
til after the election?
A SERIOUS QUESTION.
The State school commissioner
has sent out circular No. 13 to the
county School commissioners giv
ing his construction upon the re
cent legislation and the school laws
of the state. Mr. Bradwell says the
leading point eeem3 to be the qaar
ierly payment of teacher*, and
thinks it absolutely necessary to
adopt the salary plan. Now these
two propositions taken together are
a bugaboo, because the state gives
the money, aot to teachers, but to
the children. Now, should Ahold
a first grade certificate and B a sec
ond grade, we will all concede that
A is due some consideration on ac
count of his superior qualifications,
and should have a better salary.
But if R lias a school where thirty
pup ls are in attendance, and A has
only twenty in his school, we can
easily see thu injustice to the (hil
dreu in B's school, for whose benefit
the state has appropriated the mon
ey. It seems that the county school
authorities will have a hard road to
travel to reconcile these matters and
give the necessary encouragement
to teachers of the higher grades and
do no injustice to the children. In
our county the board of education
baye left the matter in the hands of
Hon. E. E. Pound, who we think is
equal 10 the emergency and will
take both qualification of teachers
and the number of children in at
tendance in fixing the salary of the
teachers.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
There has been a rumor circulated by
some mischievious individual that I am
unMble to meet my indebtedness, or words
to that effect, and I desire to state to the
people ef Jkckson and elsewhere, that I
am ever ready, as I have always proved to
meet any obligation that may be entered
into by me, financially or otherwise- If
the person who circulated this lie will
please call at the Variety Store we will be
more than pleased to wait upon him.
