We uiav not he the proper judges, but, if wc are this week’s issue of The EvrEiiPHisK is the best newspaper ever scut out from a Carncsvillc of lico, Wc are in love v, ij R our work and find a reeiproprjtion ip our col¬ umns that makes us promise con¬ stancy. We call the reader’s spec jit) attentiop to our editorial columns, which strike honestly and fearlessly for the best interests of (’aniesvjllc and Franklin comity, The CarnesvlIIe Railroad. There lias been subscribed 90 per pent, of the aniojiiit authorized by the subscription list before work should begin on the Carncsville rail- I'pqd and before parties subscribing should ho liable. There is only Lli per cent, of the authorized amount yet to be raised and then we will be ready to begin work. Caniusville is short only two hundred and seventy- five dollars of the amount that was required of her, Tbjs small amount will hi) n.l'.cd whenever necessary. But the country is still holding off for the most part, and is not coining up as weii ,ii. it ought to. 'I here arc several men around toy. n who own land tSiat runs very pearly info fo.r incorporate limits that have not sub¬ scribed a dollar. While it, may not strike them that way, it looks to us that they want the benefits and ex¬ pect to get them, but are not willing to be at any expense to get them. Now if such a course as this is right, then it is right for a man to sit down and fold his hand and let somebody else feed his children, They peed not say that they expect 110 benefits from the road, Wc know better. They have every one already put up their lands at least 25 per cent., or they don’t want to sell. We do not (ike to write so nearly personal, but we want those w ho are not doing their duty to know that we have our eye 011 them, and that we do not in¬ tend to let up until they do some¬ thing. Atlanta is the best advertised and the pluckii" t city of its size in the putted States. Rev. Sam P. Jones and family arc soon to move from Curtcrsville, Ga., to the State of Kentucky, Mf. Jones having purchased a farm for the pur¬ pose, so his friends say, of taking much uu eded rest, on. The Atlanta daily Constitution and Evening Journal are show ing more enterprise in their line than (s of tea found in a city with less that a 100 ,- 000 population. The Constitution is our pet, but we sometimes let the Journal eat at the first table and make the Constitution wait, gs Journal is an evening older. Mr. Wanamaker says that only jesting with Dr.. Carlton in the matt or of being afraid to come to Georgia. Mr. Wanamaker vfoll have to make many more apologies £«* way he is treating the Southern peo¬ ple. Dirt he can do it. He has the cheek and tlie money two very po¬ tent factors. There was quite syusiitfon Washington City one day last week when it was learned that ex-t'onsul Astwood, colored, had been dined at one of the swell hotels of that city. Voogressman Grimes was taking din¬ ner at the same hotel, but immedi¬ ately left the dining room a hen saw the negro, and sought t lsewhyre. It was not C. J. the’Atlanta negro lawyer, as the pa¬ pers first, stated. W. A. Pledger, jr., son pf the ne¬ gro politician, recently appointed postal clerk on the North-east rail¬ road, has been stealing, and is uy,v i*i the hands of the proper officials. De¬ tective J. tV.

In other coupfies and other mfjou# »hs people are leaving ill for hphjncj j<i enterprises of learning. Opr whole system needs a shaking up and pygrlmuling, * fo* S**j,qo} houses ale Sill.til Ulld poorly cm.stnjcted. Opr trustees are careless apd indifferent, and our teachers for tlje most part are whqjly incompetent. Wltii such a state of affairs pa this we are at a standstill until there is a reformation. We must have higher schools or we must have more common sense in the com- '""ii schools. With all respect for *^ ,c W<*ttoi class of teqdjcrs, teaching :ls a profession, on account qf the ig- noi'iuiiuses that are engaged in it, looked on by many as copunonplace and ilcgradjng, This ought nut to be, but it, js true. Thu profession is not as honorable as the ambitious young man is seeking. Teaching as it is now carried oq does not offer that freedom i or general information that the best intellect desires. The tendency for better schools is against us unless we make soqie pqdipal chan get), and make them at once. You may ask us, what are you (o d° to get better schools? We will tell you 'I'lji; first thing, thin t|)(.m out; that is, the locations. They are too thick. Ilow are you to have a first- cla^s school in ovtuy little iqit in cv: cry little settlement? The next thing after yog get them properly (lipmed is to build a good house, large and commodious, that will seat from two hundred to three hundred pupils, then go to work for a thor¬ ough teacher, one that you cannot get for less than two thousand or twenty-five hundred ijojlurs per an¬ num, a man who can prove facts, donimistnUe truths, .and draw out ideas. A man who can give 4 bright boy a first-class education in four or live years, instead of turning him back every time he gets to the pict¬ ures. You say oqr ideas arc good but they are too expensive. We beg to say that you are wrong. The point you are after is educating your child, and of course for the least out¬ lay. Well, if you send him from year to year to the kind of schools we now have he will start each year in his tt,',l books just, about the same place, ami (f lie goes ton years he will not by much farther advanced than he was at tfo fiul of the first year. So you must certainly see that there is time saved and ap education obtained without any greater outlay of-money. No settlement can have good schools and change their N^vly ei s every year or two. A man is not tit to touch school unless he has had special training in that line, or many ye>rs vxpvrieooe, He must be able to teach rhe young idea how to shoot —not how t o shoot a pop gun or bow and arrow, but the idea itself liow to shoot from ihc brajp. l.et us wake and bestir ourselves; we have slept for into the day already. ---------------■» + ♦--------------- Carnesvtile’s Hoard of Trade. ’ Don’t say that our town is too small for a board of-trade, that such organizations are for cities. This is very poor logic. If method pays on a large scale will it not pay m pro¬ portion on a small scale? There is no( a bqsjncss man in Carnesvillo that is at all up in his business that docs not know that we need this or¬ ganization. It is foipoysiblq, to have ooylicfouiv of the people when von have no regular price to offer them. It is a cogunpu saying among those \vhu fort> tp buy' tUa^ “foe merchants w ill all gouge you rf you give them a chance.” They know thy re are cfoicrimiualrfons among ogv merchants, and they are constantly on their guard in order to protect themselves. This does not speak well tor merchants, whether m Carncsville or other towns. It shows that their mode of doing business is questioned a*»d Ulvvaung tu open 1 ,ch¬ esty. Our readers may think that the tone of oar writing would destroy competition, but not so. Competi¬ tion would come up in the meetings .yfo would b$ ayt^lyd V^yre, No. w<j town in this couulry can put up the price of goods unreasonable and hold a trade. It, is not that we have tfo- nvercha^lj make larger prof¬ its that we urge the board of trade, but that there may be more confidence between purchaser ami sclfor, fond it makes bvltt,* business men of our merchants. If he belongs to this or¬ ganization he must hunt the host markets, ;-he lowest prices and the cheapest freights—three geecssarv requisites to be successful. The average woman cannot hold up under the hardships connected with farm and field labor. \\ e have noticed many premature deaths that WC it ore certain could be traced there, ‘‘T'li** ^iptution of the jfyppk.” T))p Jacits., 1 ) Herald of February 7til, up dor the above heat}, has a col¬ umn and a half editorial. The Her¬ ald, 1(1 its unusually able and fearless way, does not hesitate to pitch into Sam Jones, Sam Sinai}, anil others of less notoriety, with gloves off, for jhcjr sensational preaching The ltcrald make* some good It its, but the picture is overdrawn. In speaking of those who go to hoar Jones and Small the Herald says: “They go and are amused, bupefit." and reap no moral or intellectual Those who have impartially heard and read these abje men’s serruopa will not agree with the Herald. While they do say many things that appear uncouth and that are not com¬ mendable, they more than make apiends by holding up in a clearly consecrated manner the grand teach¬ ings of our Saviour. It is evident that the Herald does not like the sud¬ den reformation ip Jones’and Small’s lives, It goes op to say: “Good men do not usually come ready-made. They must be grown.” We 4 o pot see it, tips way, If men have dissipations such as Sam Jones and Sam Small had, they must be thrown off entirely and uncondition¬ ally if they are reformed. He can¬ not grow out of them by degrees, The man who undertakes to reform a bad habit by degrees will still have a few degrees to go through when death comes. Sam Jones and Sam Small were brilljant, clever, honora¬ ble and naturally good, but for the habit of drinking and t he evils usually associated with it, before they joined the church. Hut like such men usually are, when they saw clearly tig; evii of their ways they hqd the back-bone and the will-power to quit. They Irnvc had much from the critics and the prophetic to discourage them, hut they are in love with their work and arc sticking to it. We almost hear Bro. Craig’s lips smack and see the gravy cm his chin when he writes: “But Sam Jones takes in $25,000 a year with bountiful emoluments in the way of yellow-legged chickens, and that js perhaps a plausible ex¬ cuse foy preaching, whether he docs any good or not.” There arc good and intelligent mem all over this country where Sam Jones has preached and made prohi¬ bition speeches that will repel such words. The Herald goes on to sav: “It is arguod by some that the preaching of Sam Jones does much good, inasmuch as it reaches persons who could not be touched by the or¬ dinary processes of the gospel. Wo (ail to sec it this way. The gospel of billingsgate does not make men better. The grace of God docs not go into partnership with this kind preaching.” Did not C'hriwt call the Pharisees fools, hyyogrites, liars, serpents, \ pel's, etc,? Aiul did he not eject the money changers from the temple and turn over their taUlys and seats? This was about as severe as anything we have ever heard from the two “Sams,” and we hear of no attack on it. Don’t be too hard on the two evangelists. They have a grand precedent. Georgia’s Legislature. It takes no prophet to see that the people oi Georgia are going to make an effort to secure a reformation in the Georgia Legislature. She has made a reputation for long sessions and narrow legislation. The trouble is there are too many pohey yuon in the Legislature. They do next vote straight from the head and heart, but east their votes as “catchers,” catering to the popular movement, whether it be sound or not. We know that our legislators are select ed to represent tlicir respective constit¬ uencies, and are honor-bound to re¬ spect tlicir waius,; b'wt he has boon se¬ lected as one who can see farther than the common herd, and if he foils to study thy interys,s *.t his constitu¬ ency and vote from conviction, though it be against tlie popular current h-,- is uo,t lit for the position fo' holds. It is vejfY sehlfgu *hat a man loses any¬ thing to himself or county by being honest. Besides the policy class of members there is a class that does nothing ipueh but drink whisky revyl. Squads of them can be almost any time during session de¬ bauching and making asses of them, selves, Tlfoi is no hearsay. We have seen it. Tlie people are finding out the facts and they are. going to have something to say about it in thy fgture. Atlanta knows how to do the right tiling at the right time when there are any distinguished guests to be en- tertainyd. And they have certainly led all Southern eities in drawing lis- tinguished guests. , -Vest (»ov«/>p»r, pie Constitution. please Kniyons Co.vstitutiox. To myself, with no concern as tq the re- suit, I askpd the following service, thirty days ago, of an acquaintance in each county in the State: “Ask one hundred ppople for whom, of the twenty names furnished, they will vote for Governor,” 1 have heard from each county in the State, except five, with the result given below: “General Evans” leads by thirty-six counties majority, as first choice; “Pat Walsh” second; “Tom Hardeman” a close third; “Blount” and “Northen” tie for fourth place, seven counties behind “Hardeman;” wjth “Black,” of Au. gusta, heading a badly scattered field.

The Three Groat Reforms, The Baltimore Sun has interviewed prominent democrats in aJJ parts of Maryland on the recent speech of ex- Hresident Cleveland, in vvhich lie took the position that the Democratic party should adopt an aggressive policy in favor of tariff reform, civil service re. form and ballot reform. The unani¬ mous opinion of the Maryland demo¬ crats who respond to the inquiries of the Sun is that Mr. Cleveland has outlined the salient features of true democratic policy and that the party should pledge itself as forcibly as pos¬ sible to the support of the three great reforms. The Maryland dem¬ ocrats arc in line with the best dem¬ ocratic sentiment of the country,— Macon Telegraph. ..... ♦ -* ♦ One Democratic Supervisor.
