Thero is considerable fuss and illation being made about the con¬ gressional nominating that meets the 28th of this month in Atliens being dead-locked, and that a compromise will be made on some outsider. We do not believe that aiiv such thing will be done, and do ■ not think it right to do such a thing, Tho three gentlemen who have made the race were all that were in the district that were willing to risk their candidacy before the jwople, and one of those three should be chosen as our standard bearer. No man is entitled to this high office without first com- ing before the people he is to rejire- sent and giving him their views. There is not much probability of thero king a deadlock, but if must be one let it be blocked for those who have made ihe race with the de- termination never to go to a dark horse. Dark horses do not alxvav have good qualities. The Congressional Race. The congressional race in this di:- triet is over till the convention meets, Every county in the district has but we have not learned before going who carried Oconee •’ to press Wednesday’s election, but as she has only two votes it will not materially cnange the situation. With all heard from but Oconee the vote stands: Olive 8, Colley 10, Lawson 14. This gives Judge Lawson the lead to enter the convention with, and his chances to receive the nomination are better than either of the other two. EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED. Congressman Clements says that it is all a mistake about bis making Kentucky his future home. Hon. AY. J. Noiitiikn is one of the best workers for agricultural and ed¬ ucational development in the state. The crowds of people that rushed to Oklahoma last year would he glad now to rush out, and are asking the government to help them. —♦ * — Sam Sm.u.i., the evangelist, is now in somewhat a funny predicament, finding himself outside of the church and no intelligent way to get back. Tin: democrats in South Carolina are badly split and the result is very uncertain. It looks to an outsider that the state is fuller of meanness than patriotism. -—-♦ Cot.. Tiiad Pickett has challenged Col. Winn to a joint discussion of is- sues of the day before the people of the Ninth. Col. AY inn refuses toac- cejit the challenge, staling that xvill soon have to meet Darnell, the republican, and lu* cannot afford to divide his time that way. Dr. Y\ . If. Fei.ton, of says: “If iti the convention called for the first xveek in September 1 shall be convinced that that convention represents the true democracy of this district and they select me as their standard bearer m the approaching race for congress, it xvill give me pleasure to serve them to the best of my ability.” - ♦ ♦ —Col. S. A. Darnell has announced his candidacy for congress in the Ninth. The republican party xvill make a strong fight to elect him. —General Gordon delivered an able and patriotic speech before the State Agricultural Society at La¬ grange last week. —Congressman Crisp has been unanimously renominated in the third. Every Georgian should be proud of this. —Archie Cary, colored, has been put up by the republicans in Clarke county to make the race for sentative. -Hon. J. O. Waddell, of Polk county, Id. Ix-pn elected pr«udeiu of JC state j ^gi k.u tural Sotic.y. Lester »renoinbiation in the t irst district is assured, Bet: or Education. The people of Georgia, and more particular the fanners, are more earn¬ estly and intelligently interested in a better system of education than ever before. They have begun to realize that many of the so-called schools ;n*(* otll V pm<*C*H to <1 min flioir pocket s ; m,| i\\ tlit* same* time unfit their boys and girls for any intelligent calling m life. The following resolution was introduced by lion. W. L. Glessner, of Americas, at the recent conven- timi of the State Agricultural Society at Lagrange: “Resolved, That the fanners of Georgia desire and demand an ofli- ciont system of common school.- f<>r a term of not less than six mouths in each year, and are willing to bear their proportionate share of arcas m- able and equitable taxation fur that purpose, When lias there been a resolution offered in (.eorgia on any subject that the carrying out of which would ben- the state so much as this? Flense notice that the resolution says an y/xt< >/) ot common schools, and this means to plant only where can produce, an 1 to reap only will fill the granary. What is tlie young man of twentv-onc or lin¬ young woman of nineteen tit for when they bring their “sheep-skin” from the average college in this coim- try? Nine out of ten are tit for nothing under the sun. But w hat do they go to doing? To teaching, of course; and the same little narrow nonsense that rattles in their cranium is all that they have to offer your children. Wo say this in no disre¬ spectful way for the young men and young women who go to college, as klM,w ,h ”.v a!V »*’«^ a!i oo5,< ^‘ s >‘--vc for them, :1!m1 »»f- rtunately do not see that llu T 1,ave S ot vor v liuk ' so,,n as . ether people do. Do not understand lll:U "e are op posed to higher edu¬ cation. Far from it. But we are 'TP'”**"’ to the humbug which is 8 cncra,I v understood as higher odu- . cation. If to know how to read a few chapters in the dead languages of an ancient fable, and how far down or up to button a Frince Albert coat, or at what particular point the brim or crown of a hat is to be touched when bowing to a lady, and which is the proper finger to wear a ring on, or how to salute a man across the street, and how to hold your fork while eating chicken sal id, or how light and at what particular point to draw the corset string to make the back stick in and the front stick out —if this kind of stuff is higher edu¬ cation, we are ready to cry out, de¬ lusion ! Who is the better equipped man for life: the one who has mas¬ tered the latin language, or the one who thoroughly understands the cul¬ ture of grapes, tomatoes, or any fruit or vegetable that is of general eon- Kumpsion? Our present system of education drives young men from the farm, nearly all hunting something which they think is easier and more honorable. Any system of education that teaches that farm work is to be looked upon as drudgery is wrong and therefore dangerous. Agricul¬ tural schools and technological schools are a hundred fold belter for the av- young man than the present curriculum of the old line colleges. Everything that it takes to educate a young man can lie essablished in our common schools. We must have a system that xvill teach young 1111*11 anil women lioxv to do, mid also teach them to do. They must be taught that common sense is the highest or¬ der of sense, and that all artificial ns- sumptions are evidences of weakness or a lack of common sense. BOILED DOWN.

Moran II. Looiisys mmi - CAUSESVILIE HIGH SCHOOL. Our school will open on the first Monday in October. The prospects are flattering ami we have every in¬ dication of a lino school at the very outset. We scarcely ever before saw such unanimity on the part of any community in their efforts to inaugu¬ rate a successful enterprise m the way of a large and flourishing school. The present teacher, Prof. Morris, himself a hightoned gentleman and erudite scholar, lends his hearty en¬ couragement and co-operation to the enterprise. As the prices of tuition will he low, ranging from one dollar and a half to three dollars and a half per month, and as board at good houses will be at very reasonable rates, we see no reason why the school may not be a flourishing one. Circulars will in due time be issued, setting forth fully and plainly the terms, prices of tuition and board, and other things of interest in regard to the school. Young ladies and gentlemen from the county and from contiguous counties, intending to go from home to school, will find this place and school worthy of their con¬ fidence. “COUSIN BILLY.” Sitting on our veranda on Wednes¬ day morning, and wondering if a local would be out of place in this column, w ho should drive up to the gate but Cousin Billy Bowers? lie soon be¬ gan to unload for us such things as a most fastidious taste would -desire— “table comforts” sent by his excellent lady to “Cousin Morg” and his better half. A magnificent “Georgia water¬ melon,” such as Dr. Tanner dreamed of in the last days of his fast, accom¬ panied the rest. But best of all was the “feast of reason and flow of soul” that we enjoyed i:i our kind friend's genial converse. Uncle Billy, as he is universally and familiarly called, lias been our life-long friend. Always genial, never discouraging, full of thought and deep research, a fine talker, and an original thinker, lie is indeed a boon compan¬ ion, and one we delight to honor. He is a republican in polities, but an honest one, and when we get to dis¬ cussing such questions we agree to differ in the best of humors, both alike recognizing the fact that men do not compromise political or relig¬ ious opinions by exchanging social courtesies with those who maintain the opposite. —Social life is the beneficent out- oi early-civilization. . . . At first come J men s wants and fears led to their uniting together . society. Society ° n m * • led to rules and regulations cuhmnat- v ing Law, the grand conservative . in f climacteric ; . which the embod- is very • nnent ot , all „ science and , the , maturity . of all human learning. It was Finch that said, “The sparks of all the sci¬ ences in the world are covered up in the ashes of the law.” To be a great lawyer then is to be a great man in all that pertains to human progress. — ♦ • -•-- —The witty retort, “If you swal¬ low me you’ll have more brains in your stomach than you ever had in your head,” did not originate with Alex Stephens. It is in Scott’s fine novel, Kenilworth. —Extravagance and Beggary trav¬ el together on the universal thorough¬ fare. They are not on speaking terms at first, but are sure to shake hands before they get to the end of the journey. —Advice is not only the cheapest contribution to the general stock, hut it is about as common and xvortldess as the buttons east into the Stewarts’ baskets on an ordinary Sunday in church. —lie xvlio trusts to luck and always xvaits for something to turn up in liis favor xvill generally find the xvorld xx r aiting to turn up its nose at him as an egregious failure. —Mon and women admire them¬ selves in spite of faults that /mow of. Why not bear xvith neighbors in spite of faults they only hour of. -YYl.y should a poor man be ashamed of his condition ?
