Withdrawal.
With this issue of the Breeze Mr.
M. J. Parker withdraws his member
shiD from the .Barker and
Greer and will no longer be connect
ed with th 3 paper. Mr. Barker's con
nection with us has been pleasant,
his stay in Douglas ha# won him
many frionds, and lie himself has been
greatly please t with DouglaH
and her people. His with
drawal is solely on account of a more
lucrative position that has been offer
ed him by his brother in Ardmore In
dian Territory. We rcgrct;to lose him
but rejoice in his good fortune.
Mr. Greer will, assume editorial
control of the Breeze and will have
Mr. E. 8. Sapp associated with him.
Mr. Sapp will also have control of
the mechanical department of the
paper. Uis work as a job printer is
elegant and tasty and his attainments
in this respect mark him as man of
tact and talent.
The publishers assume all obliga
tions of the late firm, and will give the
people an honest paper. No effort will
be spared to make the Breeze what
the people of Cofteo county want and
we shall cndeaver to improve ovcry
issue.,,
Our School.
It is with pride that wo herald
the erection of an elegant brick school
building in Douglas; for it is the thing
above all others that we mostly need ;
and, too, it prefigures an institution
which is to be an honor to our entire
county as well as to Douglas. In the
establishment of a High School at this
place it,is the purpose of our citizens
to make Douglas the educational cen
tre of the county. With this objeel
in view it must not be supposed that
there is nny selfishness attached to the
enterprise. On the other hand, it is
the intent of our people to create a
school at the county site
where pupils when they have finished
their course at other schools in the
county may preparo for college or
complete a practical course of stud}
that will fit them for the ordinary du
ties ot life. As it is, there is not s
Bchool in the county where pupils may
preparo fully to enter the Freshman
or Sophomoro class at any first rate
college. There are teachers, to be
sure, who are capable of doing this
work, but the arduous labors put upon
them by the great number of pupils
in their charge precludes the classical
training that is necessary.
The people of tho county should be
' ns much interested in this High Bcliool
as tho citizens themselves. It will be
for tho people of the county as well as
for tho citizens of Douglas. They
shuld not hesitate to put their
money into a building that is to har
bor their children from ignorance any
more than the people who live under
the very shadow of its towers. And
it must not be forgotten that the peo
ple eventually will have this building
to pay for. It must not be supposed
or expected that Messrs. Petersou and
Buck are to donate this building to the
town or the county. True, they have
given vary largely to the fund,
even more largely than any other two
men. Mr. Peterson graciously gives
a large tract Of his most valuable laud
to build on, outside of his handsome
money donation. For the balance
required after the donations are in
they have generously offered to assume
till the town council or citizens shall
be able to liquidate the debt. They'
have simply reached down in our ex
tremity and made it their glorious
opportunity- to do a handsome thing.
The people should appreciate it and
do all iu their power to obviate as
much of the account in the beginning
as it is possible.
Now a few words to the citizens
of Douglas: there is a duty before ev
ery man Who lives in proximity to the
town. When the committee, tvho have
beea appointed to solicit fuuds, call on
him or her (for the ladies are net ex
cluded from this grand work) that per
son should loose his purse Strings
respond honestly to the appeal. We
not preUnd to say what any one
should give, but every one knows for
himself, and an honest donation will
bo all that any one can expect. Not
a cent of this money will be lost to
you. It is like bread cast upon the
waters: for ship loads of bread will be
returned to you, and a good conscience
will repay you a thousand fold. A
graded High School in' Douglas will
double the population in a year, in
crease business a huudred per cent
and advance the price of real estate
quite that amount.
Let everybody chime in with this
movement, If you cannot pay anything
toward it say something toward it.
Encourage every whisper in its favor,
and because you do pay a little or
even much, do not think on that ac
count you ought to run it according
to your own notion? There can be but
a few managers and they will prob
ably do the best for all concerned while
your way might not suit any body but
yeursell. We have in anticipation a
great institution : let every man be a
unit in its favor and lift his share to its
completion and we shall be happy
with ourselves when it is done.
Tho Brunswick Call’s editorial on
Mr. Turner’s speech was upright and
manly and will lend a prominent pres
tige to its columns.
The grand jury of Bibb wants the
county commissioners to guild the
clock steeple on the court house with
their own hands. Evidently, the
grand jury wishes to rid the county of
its commissioners.
Bill Nye the great American humor
ist is dead. He was stricken with
paralysis some weeks ago and his
spiiit fled last Saturday. Many a
smile has vanished out of the world
and many a weary heart will miss
bis sunlit soul.
Miss Clara Barton has been granted
entrance into Turkey and, now she
will begin to distribute relief to the
persecuted Amenians. Funds sent to
the lied Cross Society at Washington
D. C. will ho forwarded at once to
her for distribution.
E. V. Debs lectured in Brunswick
and Waycross nd completely captured
lia audience at both places. Indeed
lie has Deen well received every where
lie has spoken in Georgia. Maybe
be isn’t au bad as Mr. Pullman's
papers would have us believe.
Rev. Warren A. Candler. D. I),
president of Emory College, Oxford
Ga. is being prominently mentioned
as a suitable man to succeed Dr. Hay
good on board of Bishops of the South
ern Methodist church. No man in the
South is better qualified for the posi
tion.
The engineer who wrote for the Way
cross Herald, made somo fine points ;
but they came too lute. He should
have exercised his talents beforo many
of his brothers lost positions, and pos
sibly it would have done more
good. Certainly it can do little now,
and he appears to be writing merely
to boot-lick the officials of the Plant
System. It will be difficult for him
to make the public believe that he has
uot played the Judas.
In a strong editorial the llaxley Ban’
ner says we are responsible that the
large per cent of children iu Georgia
are not in the schools, because we do
uot agitate sufficiently the importance
of education. The Banner is right.
Every body knows how valuable it is
to any question hr agitate it. We ven
ture to suggest that if the papers
would write as much about education
as they do about prize fights, this per
cent would be lessened a hundred
fold iu a year,
There is a good deal of talk over the
district concerning the race of Hou
W. G. Brantley for Congress,. We
think that Mr. Brantley is too wise,
however, to ihake the race against Mr.
Turner. He is a good solid man, but
lie can't beat Henry G. Turner and
there is no use for him to try. And
by offering himself as a candidate a
gainst Mr. Turner, he Would undoubt
edly lose a large amount of his strength
aud influence. Wail awhile. Mr. Brant
ley, your time will come next.
