The Race for the Legislature.
Wo like to sec a man, when he
decides to make the race for an office,
go in to win, and the harder he works
the lietter we like him, so long as he
does not stoop to disreputable means
to further his good chances. But to
make a sly canvass claiming the solid
backing of the balance of the county
and endeavoring to scare the balance
of the representative men from the
field before anybody has openly been
heard from is against our ideas of fair
play. We repeat what we have said
on this line before that no man in
Frunkliu county can claim that lie is
the choice of the people until the peo¬
ple have heard from him and his
equals on matters that effect the gen¬
eral welfare of the people. There is
nothing wrong in promising a man
your support if it is your will to do
so, but do not support any man that
is opposed by one you like lietter and
believe would make a better repre¬
sentative,

The Wesleyan Female College has

Higher education is looking up all

The Augusta Chronicle wants the

The Atlanta Rifles won the first
prize at the international drill at

justly feels proud of her hoys.
Larry Gantt luvs withdrawn from
the race for congress in this district.
“The editor of tho Banner,” to use
the stereotype phrase of the Banner,
is a funny man.
-Livingstone made his first speech
since his candidacy for congress at
Decatur Tuesday, Tho papers state
that he had a large audience and a
strong following.
The negro Dudley whose nomina¬

Americus has been indefinitely held

Lynchings and imprisonment on
circumstantial evidence are becoming
too common. Wo frequently see
where the innocent suffer on the ac¬
count of acting too quickly i» such
matters,
Every indication points to North¬
ern as the next governor uf Georgia,
Livingston's action iu retiring from
the field was very commendable, and
will make him stronger among the
people than heretofore.
The republicans admit new states
ns fast as possible, especially if they
are expected to vote the republican
ticket. From the outlook at present
they will very likely need them in a
few years. Tariff reform ft* against

The Poor dirl*' College,
Mrssns. Editors: Sometime ago
I wrote an article under the nom do
plume “Thu Poor Girls’ Friend,” (hut
not for your paper) advocating a
scheme for the ladies of Franklin
county to raise a fund sufficient to
keep one of Franklin county’s girls
in the Poor Girls’ Industrial College
that will he established at Millodgc-
ville, Ga., to bo open for students by
the first of next January,
Our last legislature appropriated
000 to establish such an institu¬
tion. Milledgeville, to get the col¬
lege, gave 410,000 and loaned the
trustees 412,000, making a total of
♦57,000. The trustees believe with
this fund they will he able to open
the college by the first of next Jan-
nary.
It may hi- asked, Why the neces¬
sity for ladies of Franklin county to
interest themselves to raise a fund
for the purpose of supporting a girl
in such an institution ?
I would answer:
The very girls that the college was
created for are not able to get the
benefits.
The trustees only intend to give
the tuition, and perhaps books. JIow
can a poor girl clothe ami board her¬
self? it is for this expense the belies
of Franklin county can build a moii-
inont that w ill rise as high as the ages
will run. The scheme put in action
should not stop short of keeping a
girl in the college all the time. In
four years time the college would
send hack one of Franklin county’s
daughters that every mother would
Ik* proud of—to say nothing of the
young men. She would be an edu¬
cator, and such an educator as our
county has never had, and to have
such au accomplished lady sent hack
to our county every year it would not
Ik- a decade until till) women would
see the fruit of their work. Yes,
fucli benefits to the rising generation
as has never been seen iii old Frank¬
lin before. They would see the mon¬
ument begin to rise and expand it¬
self until it reached out, extending
its base as it mounted upwards, tak¬
ing in all of Franklin county’s daugh¬
ters. If the ladies would look to the
future interest of their sex they surely
will make another effort at the coun¬
ty seat to form a parent society, then
let every church in the county form
into a sub-society and send delegates
to make a constitution and by-laws
to govern the whole.
I have been talking this scheme
up, and I am ready to vouch for the
ladies of Bold Spring section to fall
into the plan and help push it for¬
ward to its accomplishment.
Whim we consider how small an
outlay it would he to the ladles of
the county for the first year it would
not take more than 25 cents a year
each to put it on a foundation that
would he certain to carry it through.
That is, if the county was well organ¬
ised. So small a sum when we cal¬
culate the good that will accrue,
should not deter tho good women of
the county from making the move,
and that at once.
I have no interest in this, only the
love I have fur the education of the
poor girls of our county.
Bold Spring, Ga. J. II. St.ten.
The Ghwt Story.
Every day we are impressed with
the great evils caused by the telling
and spreading of ghost stories and
supernatural occurrences. Parents
entertain their children till late hours
at night by telling them these wild
and inhuman tales and send the little
fellows to bed scared half to death,
fearing if they should go to sleep
that they will be carried away by one
of these imaginary monsters before
they Wake, and if they should happen
to fall asleep their dreams are filled
w ith pits, blood and fire, not to say
anything of the forked-tangued,
sharp-eUwed and roaring-mouthed
beasts that are continually hovering
near with wagging tails and flashing
eyes, threatening immediate mutila¬
tion. Those unnatural and untruth¬
ful tales are the vary worst stuff that
children can be taught. It is inju¬
rious to their health and intellect and
keeps them from having many good
tiines that arc of much benefit to
child-hood.
Olive iu the Race.
Hon. J. T. Olive, of Oglefhorr«\
, has declared , himsclt candidate fur
a
congress iu this district. He is
author of the famous Olive hill which
caused so much discuss,..,, j„ the last
legislature. He will make it an is-
sue i« this race. He also says he is
favor of the nub-treasury lull, if,
•
nothing bettor can be framed. .
