Let Taxes of White People be Placed to White School Fund And the Taxes Paid by The Neogroes Should be Placed to the Negro School Fund. by c. J. SHIPP. I see that the Georgia legislature has passed a constitutional amend ment to be voted on by the people of the state to require the taxes of the white people to be placed to the white school fund and the taxes of the negroes to be placed to the negro school fund. This is eminently just, for while we should treat the negro with abso lute justice regarding all rights of citizenship, it is hard on the white people to pay for their education. The negro was brought to this country as a slave; the white man bought them as chattel, paid their honest money therefor, and as a result of a long cruel bloody war this property right was destroyed, thus the South lost the earnings of a hundred years. Besides this for a number of years past we have been shouldering the burden of their education which has grown very tiresome. In conversation with an intelli gent negro a few days ago, he re marked that he thought this meas ure was perfectly fair and just, said he, every race has had to work out their own salvation; the Jews of Europe had to do it and even the Anglo-Saxon race had to develop from a lonely origin; he further said that if the negro had to depend on himself more that he would grow character faster than if he depended entirely on the white race for his chief good, and that the race would live to gether more harmoniously where neither was a burden on the other and where they were of mutual benefit. I do not believe that it is right that the ii gro should be deprived of th. benefit, of an think it is just and proper that his taxes should go to his schools, but do protest against the narrow philanthropy that neglects our old soldiers in their helplessness and giving the money required for their pensions to the education of their former slaves. “Charity begins at home” and justice is all that one race should require at the hands of another. Let the negro live amongst us in peace; let him enjoy his full legal and political rights, give him a chance to work out his salvation as a race, allow him to receive all of the education that he is able to attain and to pay for. This spirit of justice is an en tirely different thing from taking the money that belongs to our own children and giving it to them. If any philanthropist wishes to make donation to their education this is a different matter and he has a perfect right to do it, and in all probability should this argu ment be ratified, large sums of money will flow annually from the wealthy citizens of the North to the negro schools of our state. This will be of great benefit to both races and the money will be spent here and will gradually reach the coffer of the white man in part compensating the destruc tions of the cival war. Let the amendments bo ratified it is not only just but expedient. LOCKJAW FROM COBWEBS. Cobwebs put on a cut lately gave a woman lockjaw.

A motion for continuance was made by Judge R. L.

All the shows, including the merry-go-round are going. All the shows arrived in the city Monday and Tuesday tents were erected upon the streets according to agreement made with mayor and council. This arrangement was objected to by a number of prominent cit izens and a petition to stop it was g°tteu up, an amount of money was raised to fight it, Judge U. V. Whipple and Col. Pearson Ellis were employed. Col. S. R. Fields represented the city,—armed with petition and counter petition the i awye rs spent Tuesday in Ameri cue, and, to cut the story short j, ulf?e Littlejohn signed an order the said Carnival shows from the streets of Cordele. The shows were quickly moved Wednesday morning onto the va rftnt lot8 in front of the Suwanee Hotel, which were furnished with out and without ^ price, and 80 1 “ » even unto the end of the week, as ad vertised; but the city may bo out 1,8 » >rofite in «- 8 ex P eu9e9 ’ while 1 lie opposing citizens are out their ex P en8e in bgbting and the time and trouble they went to. of the aldermen are quite huffy and openly threaten to re sign, and some of the citizens are | equally huffy, but the indications are that it will all blow over m the course of time.
