Additional Buildings Needed to Acco
modate Pupils. History of the
Class of 190a.
uary 6th. 6th with fh a T large attendance, Td
and each week new pup, e eome
The Dorm,tone, are full and
still the principal receives letters
from other, who are coming. The
buildings are not large enough to
accommodate the many there and
many who wish to come. The
school has the largest attendance
since the organization, and it is
thought that this term will be one
of the most brilliant in the his
tory of the institution.
Now what is needed is money to
erect suitable buildings, and if
some one will help in this good
work they will erect a monument
more lasting than brass, and give
the boys and girls an opportunity
to develop their talent and be,
useful men and women.
Prof. G. R. Glenn will

lest and most fascinating body of

tances and especially the gentle

Now comes the last and best of
it all, (the “Boys”) Body Mc
Dermid, the most popular hoy of
his grade is one of the most noted
flirts of his day and time and is
daily improving.
Arthur Tussell. also a very pop
u lar gentleman of his grade will
compose a geography as he has
been told by the wise men that
was his talent, and it is believed
by his fellow students, as you can
see the map of Greece on his face,
(the Ionian Islands. Aegean Sea
–c.)
Messrs. Jackson, Brown, and Cul
pepper, after taking the following
courses will depart for Texas. Gen.
Jackson, Dr. Brown, and Prof.
Culpepper. Gen. Jackson will
lead an expedition against Mexi
co, defeat them and add one more
dominion to our already large U.
S. Dr. Brown, one of the most
noted doctors of his day and time
is most noted for an annual doc
tor. Prof. Culpepper will become
tired of Texas, and depart to
Africa to endeavor to get, his
brethren on a higher plane.
A. J. Jones, a man who has a
great deal of control over the
(“Baylum”) will marry and pur
chase a one-horse farm, and after
living to be very old will pass
away, leaving his estate for his
beloved wife to growl at and tend.
And as for Richmond Bedgood, he
will endeavor to follow the noted
pointer dog, and if first he does
not succeed he will keep on trying
until he does succeed. So ends
the Eight Grade of 1902,
Richmond A. Bedgood.
BANNER SALVE
the most healing salve in the world.
CORDELE, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1902.
BACON VS. BACON.
Books Are of Priceless value, But Poetic Frenzies
Not Current At The Grocers. The World a
School-Room.
By Prof. Wm. P. Fleming.
James Anthony Fronde, in his
i l Essay on Edue .iion,” recalls
that Lord Brougham once express
ed the wish that he might live to
see the time when every man m
England would read Bacon, and
that William Cobbett, comment
ing upon the lord’s expressed wish,
said that lie would himself be re
j° iced to seethe day when every
man in England would eat bacon,
pai<Hor by deserving labor -
When one sees so many
r * es that witness to the ignorance
of t!ieu ' owners, and so many
em Pty larders that witness to
em P t y stomachs, he is half-die
posed to regard Lord Brougham as
» visionary and William Cobbett
as a practical man who, while
may not have been subject to po
efcic freQzie8< probably paid his
grocery bills.
There is still an erroneous no
tion tlmt tIie reading of books
furnishes the panacea for all the
ills tliat fle8h is heir to * Time
alone can full v re Y eal whether Mr.
-
Carnegie's millions are popular
izill S the folI y- Certain it is that
from a richl y endowed library to
relief of the poverty--oppressed
and ignorance—blinded mulfci
tudes is a far stretch. The philo
S0 P hic theories of books have not
y et flu8hed the P allid cheek of
want, or flashed a ray of hope
through the chambers of a de
s P airill S hearfc - The dreams of
^ ie bookish man are peopled with
spirits and fairies the work-a-day
world, with children crying for
^ read * And where there is gnaw
°f appetite, there is little cra
vin "f° r literature.
No man of sense will decry the
value of books—they are the treas
uries of knowledge—but he may
deprecate the folly of him who
would over-burden himself with
pearls and faint for lack of roast
beef. Books are, at best, imper
fect transcriptions of a world of
truth and beauty and goodness.
He is not necessarily a dolt who
gets smut on his face at work in a
shop. The world cares more for
results of skill than for wrinkles
of thought. It matters little what
diplomas and certificates label a
man to be, if he is somewhat and
can do something. The man that
thinks as he follows the furrow,
toils at his trade, or “scrats at his
bit o’ garden”, will, under the tu
telage of Providence become edu
cated beyond the comprehension
of ' his companion whose mind,
maybe blossoming rank with
Greek roots and Latin stems, is
nevertheless “out of joint” with
the true philosophy of life in its
practical phases and requirements.
The question as to whether ev
ery man should have a library de
pends upon the use to which he
would put it. It might be best to
exchange it for family groceries.
It would assuredly not be desira
ble that he should so lose himself
in it as to shut the gates of sense
to things pertaining to “the com
mon round, the trivial task .” The
“book-worm” lives among the
mere shadows of realities. He
tramples the flowers under-foot as
he goes to study botany; he walks
unheeding beneath the stars as he
ponders abstruse theories of as
tronomy; he delves at political
economy, and fails to pay his
taxes ; he prys into the mysteries
of social science, having
a speaking acquaintance with
next-door neighbor. He
blind to the fact that there
lessons not learned from printed
pages—that there are “books in
running brooks.”
Education whether obtained at,
college, from application to books,
otherwise, or otherwhere, has nev
er unfitted a person for the per
formance of life’s duties, It is
the lop-sided semblance of edu
cation that does that. But it does
happen that a world of common
sense is sometimes exchanged tor
imaginary benefits of books.
There are many familiar illu.-dra
of the fact that, “book-Iearn
ing” leads away from the proba
bility of success in every-day bus
iness. When, for instance, we see
a highly cultivated college profes
sor “stick” his potatoes with bean
we doubt his ever becoming
a giant in the marts of trade,
and, incidentally, we doubt his
being a suitable instructor for our
boy. When the professor, upon
being reminded that he has vio
Jated equestrian proprieties by
saddling his horse hind-part be
fore, retorts that he knows better
than another in what direction he
will journey, we are convinced
that he is not destined to become
a Napoleon of commerce, We
question whether he earns his sal
ary. An ex-slave, unable to draw
a distinction between the alplia
bet and the desert of Gobi, could
teach liini a thousand things not
dreamed of in his philosophy, and
beat, him at trial of “hose-sense”
two to one.
The distinction between ability
to descant learnedly about “Heat
as a mode of motion” and ability
to make two blades of grass grow
where one grew before; is not
necessarily favorable to the for
mer. How helpless is the man
that is insulated from the world by
books. The first botany was writ
ten in the flower-gardens and
fields and forests. A thousand
valumes lie open on every hill-side
and in every woods. Thoreau, a
famous French author, upon be
ing asked why he did not improve
his culture by travel and study
abroad, replied that he found
something new and wonderful
every day about his humble cot
tage at Walden Pond. Another
distinguished author when re
monstrated with for squandering
so much of his valuable time
wandering through woods and
fields and along streams, said:
I am studying the things of which
books are made.”
The first astronomy was written
in the sky. The first music was
that of the spheres. The first
geology was written in the strata
of the earth. Each tiny rock-em
bedded shell contains, in brief,
the history of a thousand years.
The first psalms of praise were
chanted by the rejoicing hills
and the trees that clapped their
hands for joy. The first love-poem
was an immortelle that unfolded
its pure petals to a caressing sun
beam on some Ardath field. The
first work of art was spread upon
the canvas of ether when the
god of down painted the emblem
of morning.
In the university of the world,
books may help or hinder That
depends.

Judge Z. A. Littlejohn,of

“The Sentinel quoted me incor
rectly last week,” suid he. ‘‘I
meant to say all those good things
about Cordele’s progress etc., but
that part of the article that, some
people might take as a reflection
upon A morions is incorrect—I ad
mire Americas too much to say
anything but something good
about that city and the excellent

While the reporter can’t see that
“some people” might see it that
way, yet, there are a heap of dif
ferent kinds of people in this old
world and so the Sentinel is go
ing to make the correction, even
without Judge Littlejohn’s know r
ledge that we are doing so—for
nothing was more foreign to his
mind, nor the reporters, than that
Americas was also alive and push
