SUBCItIPTIOSf $1 A .YLAJt, IS ADVANCE J't.i iiLfSIIEI) WEEKLY. Entered at the Postoffiee at Douglas Q 1. as second-class mail matter. FRIDAY, JI'LV 21. 189(1. Time to Prepare. Addison says, “wbat sculpture is to j a block of marble, education it to a 1 human soul. The philosopher, the ! saint, and the great man, very often lie hid and concealed in a plebeian, which a proper education might have disturbed and brought to light.” Your sou may have the elements of mind and character within him which, if awaken and cultivated, will lift him into the highest position of state or church or science or litera ture, and, yet if allowed to mature untrained, will disgrace your name or leave it blank in the minds of men. Your daughter may have in h r the excellencies which, if drawn out by the suttle powers of training, will make her a jewel in the home, a blazing light in the church and a star in society; hut which if allowed to languish and dwarf in the narrow coniines of ignorance, will hishonor her parent;! and east a blight on the home of her bil lh. fna few weeks, the schools and colleges of our state will throw open their doors to Iho youth of the coun try. The cities and cultured districts are hegining to prepare to take ad vantage of these sources of education by placing their sons and daughters in the public schools and colleges which have been brought so easily within their reach. Educated peo ple know the value of these institu tions and they are all alert to take advantage of the opportunities for their offspring. They realize that their boys and girls are rapidly ap proaching manhood and womanhood and that unless this day is used iti preparing them for life, another day will never come in which amends may he made foi the negligence of the present. This year your boy may he sent away to college and his edu cation assured. Next year your bov muy not he able or he may not he willing. By that time lie may linye entered into business which will dc harr him for another year, and anoth er yeni he will have left you and his possibilities for greatness be gone for ever. Your daughter is just begin ing to emerge from childhood. She is ripe and ready for the liiet classes in college. Next year she will he wearing long dresses and her statute be full grown. Her mind lias not advanced in proportion and now she is ashamed to enter the lower classes where most of the girls are small. She would have gone lasi year, but now her sensitive, nature shrinks from the ordeal into which she will bo brought. You do not want to mortify her and alas! her oppor tunities are gone—gone forever. She must henceforth he classed among the ignorant. Her aspirations for culture and refinement are blighted and her sweet dreams of chilhood are to end in the common drudgery of the stupid. She must be a child, a simpleton forevermore. It now costs only a few hundred dollars to educate a boy or girl in a college course. There arc plenty of men in Coffee county amply able to do this much for their children. It is infinitely better than to set them up in busines or to give them a tract of land. A good education is better than half the land in Coffee county. The colleges are right at your doors. There are Andrew and Wes leyan colleges for the girls within a few hours ride, and Emory and Mer cer hardly out of sight. Get the boys and girls ready and send them to college this fall and next spring you will be proud of them. President Faure of the French re public was hired on while en route to a public fete man open carriage. The would be assassin was promptly* ar rested, but claimed that the cartridges Tired were blank and he only wished to arrest the attention of presi dent. Bryan is a practical Christian and would grace the presidency of a Chris tian nation. i Let us. keep cool and do the right tiling even if it hurls us. The right, always demands respect and will eventually succeed. Brooks Paulk says the county will; go democratic by a safe majority. Brantley’s letter of acceptance is a straight forward democratic document, ——M-ar—m ■ —i— F. B. Police! was adjudged insane by Judge John Vickers Wednesday a > week ago. .Mr. Bryan is a model husband and father. lie is a typical American in every sense. The populists really didn't want •‘harmony”: they waited to beat the democrats. Jn the mad rush of politics let us not forget our educational iuteicsi and Christianity. If the popuusts want free silver they can best attain it by coming back into the democratic party. The ladies must heat with politics a little while and then the men will again lend them supreme attention. Cornelius Vanderbilt has been stricken with paralysis and the physi cians arc consulting over hint. Briggs was nominated in the Second by a large majority. Walters vote was in keeping with his person—ban toiu-like. That little “harmony” scheme of the populists fixed for the 25th did not pan out. It was too easy to see through. Thomas county goes for the Bush bill and against bar rooms. Now we arc in favor oi Judge Hopkins for President of the Senate. The Pierce county populists have declared for H. W, IL.ed for congress. It looks like Jdilikin will have to hus tle if ho gets the nomination. The anti-barroom bill is going to win in the legislature this fall and wo will have a prohibition suite. Then the Lord will cause his face to shine upon us. Mr. Brantley has acquiesced in the democratic majority and will make the race on the platform, This is all light and he will bo elected by a handsome majority. When Mr. Bryan was separated from his wife and children in the St. Louis depot by the surging crowd, lie paid no attention to the multitudes till he had found his darlings. The negroes already appreciate the stiaight toward action of the democrat ic executive committee and more of them will vote with the democrats in October than ever has before. Clinch county populists all returned to the democratic party and voted in the primary. Out of 950 registered voters, over 800 voted in the democrat ic primary. Lot the Coffee county populists do the same if they waul harmony and free silver. Brantley is a brilliant Georgian, lie will go to congress. The popu lists will not be able to defeat him if he is a candidate, though they arc laying plans to that end. The Press is for voting men every time. In the Eleventh let the battle cry be Bryan and Brantley.—Savannah Press. While the populists were pleading to the public for “harmony" in a no tice they had sent to the papers for publication, they wore plea ting with I one brother to run against another j for the legislature Don’t try to scheme on us. Pops: we 1. ve out ■* on you. Let’s make it a fair deal, and if you beat us. all right. The primary is just cue week off. Let the democrats turn out tomor row week and nominate the strongest men and after the primary settle on the nominees with nit a word of dis cord, and we shall as certainly win in • in the October election as a majority ; is greater than a minority.
