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.
