No Dead-Lock or Outsider Wanted.
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 »*’«^

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.

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 ? The stars
reflect as brightly from a little 1 pond
