Carnesville, Ga., December 19,1H90.
The Carnesville High SchooL
Carnesville is proud of her large
school. Every body is pleased with
the unprecedented progress the pu-
pil* are making, and the benefits are
reaching out in every direction,
Many teachers are hero under Prof.
Looney and the promotion of educa-
tion from this one source will be far
reaching. The trustees inform
that the academy will be made more
than twice as large as at present af-
ter Christmas. Then wc can accotn-
modate over two hundred pupils cas-
ilv, and if every body will do their
duty that is interested thc number
will reach this point. Thc pupils arc
in the countv. and wc have unquea-
tionably the finest teacher in this sec-
tion of the state. Prof. Looney is
master of his profession, and this can
be truthfully said of but few teach-
ers. Make your arrangement to
aend children to the Carnesville High
School after Christmas.
EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED.
The Athens Banner says that the
Alliance defeated Wade Hampton
fer Senator in South Carolina, and
intimates that if Georgia hod elected
as good men to the Legislature as
South Carolina that General Gordon
would have been defeated. The Al¬
liance candidate for Senator in South
Carolina was defeated, and a reform
Democrat or Tillmaiiite was elected.
Tillman don’t take any of the sub-
treasury in his, and is said to he
against other leading measures of the
Alliance. The Banner should tell it
Btraight.
If reports be true some of Geor¬
gia^ legislators are very much at¬
tached to thc luxuries of thc Gate
City. Champagne and Havannahs
have mighty winning ways to the
m: n who has been used to persimon
beer and ground leaves.
Governor Northon has written the
president of the L. «fc N. R. R. that
the State road will be turned over
to the new lessees according to con¬
tract and that they shall have the
states protection if litigation should
arise.
lion. J. L. M. Irhv lias been
elected to succeed Gen. Wade Hamp¬
ton in the U. S. Senate from South
Carolina. Irby is only 36 years of
age, and is probably the youngest
man that will be in the next senate.
The technological school received
$22,500 appropriation at thc hand of
the legislature last week. The Geor¬
gia legislature acted wisely in thus
aiding tins school, which in our opin¬
ion is the best school in the state.
There is not enough money in thc
country, and the people have found
it out. More money must and
will be had, and legislators would do
well to turn their attention to it, if
they do not wish to be retired.
The States arnual appropriation
to the branch colleges of the state
university has been defeated by this
legislature, except the girls industri¬
al school at Millcdgeville.
Senator Irby, of South Carolina,
has the notoriety of having once
rought a duel with blank cartridges.
But he did not know they were blank
until the duel was over.
Legislation to relieve the depres¬
sion in die commercial world is much
worse wanted than the force bill.
The party in power will learn this
later on.
The legislature will not get
through the states business before
Chsistmas. The second term is what
the average Georgia legislator wants.
Hon. S. D. Brad well of Liberty
county has been appointed state
school commissioner. Mr. Brad-
well is said to be an able educator.
Some of Livingston’s friends say
ho is a Jacksonian democrat, if this
be true he will hardly follow Col.
Polk in his third party ideas.
Pay Debts When Due.
There is a growing tendency
among the debtor class to put off the
payment of just obligations as long
possible. This fact has much to
with the depression in the agri¬
and commercial world. Con-
is the great driving wheel in
when this is broken the
gives way. The stronger
favors to the weaker, on the
principal of confidence, and when
confidence is abused the weaker
lessening his chances for future
vom . If the fanner fails to meet his
with the retail merchant,
retail merchant fails to meet his
with the jobbing mcr-
and the jobbing merchant fails
meet his obligations with the man-
and the consequnce is—
close down hands are thrown
of work, supply and demand
the wheels of comtneroe arc
locked, and the whole country be-
depressed and uneasy—all for
want of confidence. The selling
of products will never be satis-
to the producer as long as
howling demagogues are proclaiming
that he is being robbed of his labor.
When cotton is worth ten cents per
it is held for twelve and a
and when it is selling for eight
and a half it is held for ten. The
same is true w ith other products, but
the price it is held for is not re-
one time out of a hundred,
The idea with the producer is to hohl
his products until contractors are
to meet their obligations,
forgetting that the contractors lias
made his contracts on the basis of
supply and demand and can wait as
long as any body. The man who
can and does not meet his obli¬
gations when due pays a needless in¬
terest, and at the same time causes
his future obligations (to be harder t«>
meet. By all means pay your debts
when due if possible atd it will be to
your own advantage. <
Dangerss Ahead.

Revolutions are Viot necessarily
reformations. Their/paths are some¬
times strewn with thorns instad of
roscs,, with oppression instead of lib¬
erty, with haggard poverty instead
of independent plenty. Revolts are
not always founded in justice, but
are sometimes caused by misinforma-
tin, given hv demagogues and
prejudiced and unsafe leaders.
is seed being sown now that
yeiJd a poisions harvest, unless sleep¬
less hands pluck the spreading
erel. Class is being arrayed
class, o]>]u>sition platforms for
policy of the goverment are
agreed upon behind barred doors,
brothers and friends disagree and
champion the justice of these ulat-
forms in a manner that destroys
friendship ahd confidence. ,Secret
deception is taking the place of open
frankness. There are too many de¬
mands and too few concessions. The
missle that was intended for the en¬
emy is hitting the friend, and the
bomb-shell aimed at the foe is falling
at the feet of its creator. We have
here in our midst the realization of
haughty sleek negroes, without a pen¬
ny in their pocket, who cannot l>e
hired to work for money. Thc word
has been passed down, and they are
making their demands too. They
have their secret alliances also,
and this is the kind of fruit they are
bearing. The next allianc may be
expected among the tenant as against
thc land-lord. The same spirit that
fathered the alliance and some
of its predecessors and their demands
will father the tenant alliance. Pe¬
cuniary self interest and political pre¬
ferment is at the bottom of them
all, aud this fact wc fear will be found
out too late. We are no alarmcst,
but rather optimistic than pessimis¬
tic, yet great dangers are ahead un¬
less a better principle of manhood
shall come to the helm.
Education is on a boom in tho
Georgia Legislat ure. The House has
passed an important school bill pro¬
viding for a permanent fund. Here
are the amounts, and sources from
which it comes:
One-half rental State road, $204,-
166: tax on liquor dealers, $72,000;
tax on shows, $6,000; net fees from
inspection of fertillizers and cotton
seed meal and oils, $20,000; hire of
State convicts, $17,500; dividends on
stock owned by the State in the
Georgia railroad and Banking Com¬
pany, $2,046; poll tax, $135,000; a
tax of 1 1-3 mills on tho dollar ad-
valorem upon all the taxable prop¬
erty of the State, $556,000; making
a total of $1,072,706.
Thc hill also provides that teach¬
ers shall he paid quarterly. The bill
will yery likely pass thc Senate.

SECTIONALISM AND THE FARM-

-
brid K« d - Thc war has reft |' v cnded
and firing must soon cease. The ; farm-
! ors of the West ami North have
joined hands with the farmers of the
South, solemnly covenanting togeth-
' er t0 b)r f» et tI "' bitterness of the
P^t .md throw off thc < ur.se of tra
‘^tional s« ctionalistn.
1 be Christian manhood of Amor-
ioa owes to the farmers a debt of
gratitude for undertaking this divine
work. General Sherman has said,
ar is hell. 11 is- And wc have had
enough of it. Every effort to revive
* be bitterness of the late war is in¬
spired only by the devil. I he curse
the nation for the last two decades
has been the determined efforts of a
certain class of demagogues to trade
in the memories of the dead. When
the soldiers laid down their arms and
returned to their homos and lov¬
ed ones, these ghouls began their
ghost dance over the fields made
rich with the blood of heroes. While
the war was in progress these men
were not m it. When the fighting
ceased whetted their
and began, and they have been
at it faithfully ever since. They have
driven the sections further and furth¬
er apart by misrepresentation. They
have wearied the ears of heaven aud
earth with their din. They have
fanned the dying embers of hatred
into flame again and again, that in
the conflagrations which followed
they might rob and steal. They
have made progress impossible be¬
cause they have made issues of mem¬
ories, and marshalled the hosts of the
living to fight the hopes of thc dead.
They are neither brute nor human;
they are ghouls. The farmers have
declared that they arc going to hang
the ring-leaders of this gang and put
an end to their business. In this
God-given task they should have the
earneat prayers and co-operation of
the christain manhood of the North
and South.
The christains exclaims with the
farmer, u In the name of God, the
common Father, let us be hretren.
Let us cease this foolish wrangle over
memories and turn to the great work
of to-day.”
The men and the organizations
that refuse to give heed to this cry
of the heart of the nation for peace
and fraternity will be crushed by the
resistless sweep of determined mil¬
lions as they join hands and together
press forward to the goal of a regen¬
erated nation. The issues of the sad
past all settled. They are history.
Mississippi rises from the lethargy of
traditionalism, turns her faee toward
the rising sun of a new day, drops a
tear over the grave of Jefferson Da¬
vis, formally repudiates in her new
constitution the doetjine of secession,
and extends her hands to the strug¬
gling farmers of Kansas. Slavery is
now only a memory for the aged. It
is ancient history for tho young. I
never saw a slave. The negro is en¬
franchised: and it only remains to
educate him and he will be free.
There is no negro problem to-day out¬
side the imagination of political
schemers, except the problem of cd-
ucation and growth for thc negro
race. Such men as J. C. Price of
North Carolina, president of the Afro-
American League, have long since
recognized this fact, and have en¬
tered with energy and enthusiasm
upon the gigantic work of thus up¬
lifting their race. The problem that
confronts the negro in the South is
the same that confronts his white
brother in the North and West. It
is not the problem of ballot, but of
bread.
The real issues of our life have
been obscured now long enough by I
thc fog of sectional animosity. We
must address ourselves to living is-
sues. A new generation of men has
come upon the scene. They have
new problems, new hopes, new as-
piration, new fears and new dangers,
This younger generation of men are
sick and tired of listening to ha-
about , the , r and , .
rangnes memor.es is-
sues of a groat past by loud-mouthed
demagogues, who contributed noth-
ing to that past except an additional i
name to the census roll which cannot!
be found on the army muster. They
are tired of this sort of tiling for
many reasons. They feel that it
was not their fault that they were
not born earlier and could not shine
in that golden‘age. They feel that
it is a crime to rob the living of the
highest possibilities of life, though it
be in the sacred name of the loved
{and 1 sacred dead. They refuse to
immolate the living on the altar of
the dead. This generation of men
will join hands with the horny-hand¬
ed farmers in their determination to
| rid a suffering nation of this pest,
We are confronted to-day with the
I st rob i wver submitted to
„ ravt , p Prns
^ j uunan racc f or solution. Itmay
tbat t j, e destiny of the world
hangs upon the solution America
will give to these problems. We feci
even now the earth trembling be¬
neath our feet with the shock of the
tirst battles of a world-wide social
struggle. Can the clashing interests
of conflicting classes be reconciled,
and onr civilization saved from a ca¬
tastrophe? We must answer this
question. The interests of the hosts
of the late contending armies are
practically one. When the battle
ceased, true men on both sides recog¬
nized this. The Southern man now
fervently thanks God that his coun¬
try is freed from the curse of slavery.
The Christian manhood of this na-
tion ought to be a unit in purpose,
ideal, and effort. Your hearts are
one. You are separated only by ex¬
ternals, and they arc mostly tradi¬
tions. At thc close of a battle, dur¬
ing the war, a dying Federal officer
asked a passing Confederate to have
a few moments prayer with him.
The Confederate dismounted and
kneeled by the side of the dying inan.
lie prayed earnestly aud tenderly.
l r p in the arms of a loving heart he
took the sufferer into the presence* of
the Father. He told him of the
loved ones at home, of their broken
hearts and lives. lie prayed one
sweet petition after another, and
when he closed, the dead head of
officer lay on his bosom. The dying
man had used what strength he had
left to crawl up and wind both arms
around the neck of his late enemy in
battle while he prayed. The battle
ban ceased. In that hour of sorrow
their two hearts beat with a single
thought. They were one.
Men and brethren, let us remem¬
ber this. Thc battle has ceased.
We are children of a common Fath-
er:
The era of fratricidal strife between
the sections of this nation is passing
away. The day of real fraternity is
dawning. Let men, North, South,
East, West, take note. The grave
already yawns to receive him who re¬
fuses to heed this fact.
The third party movement is strik-
ing knots, and it is very probable
some of its heretofore champions arc
going to back-track.
