INTERESTING EXERCISES:
w
The opening exercises of the eighteenth
annual session of the Georgia State Teach
ers’(coined) Association was opened In
Mt. Zion Baptist church on Tuesday
night last.
Good music was rendered by a select
chain .Welcome on behalf of the people
of -Griffl n|W»s ia a .well worded
speech by,Miss Allen, a daughter oi our
well known colored citizen/ Milt Allen,
on the part of the citizens of Griffin.
Addresses then followed by Mayor Davis
In behalf of the government of the city, by
Dr. N. B. Drewry on the part of the Board
of Education, and by Rev. W. G. Wood
bridge speaking for the ministry of the
city. These addresses were brief, pointed,
suggestive, and bespoke the interest that
is being.taken by our white people in the
education and uplifting of the negro. The
feature of the evening was the annual ad
dress by Rev. L. 8. Clark, of Athens, Ga.,
who is the president of the association.
Mr. Clark read his address. He is a man
in whom appear but few of the character
istic of his race. He is almost white,
small featured, with an intellectual cast
of countenance, that evidences study. He
read clearly,, with good emphasis, and
good voice a carefully prepared address on
the negro, educationally considered. He
treated his subject most interestingly,dealt
somewhat largely in statistics which set
forth the rapid strides made by his race on
every hue. Told of the princely gifts
made by Northern men to the cause of
education. Spoke of the self-denying zeal
of teachers who came in the wake of the
Northern armies and withheld nothing of
praise for what the state of Georgia has
done for the negro.
The presentation made of the dispropor
tion of salaries paid colored as compared
with white teachers, should arrest the at
tention of those who have such matters in
their hands. The laborer is worthy of his
hire.
Altogether the paper was an admirable
one, and in the main dealt fairly and fear
lessly with the subject.
Byway of criticism it might be said that
Mr. Clark seems to have got his idea of
the conditions that prevailed during
'slavery days” from anti-slavery sources.
For while the conditions under that re
gime were necessarily unfavorable to the
development of highest morality and spir
ituality, the negro slave, on the average,
was not the degraded creature that he is
often pictured.
The evils of slavery, as bearing on mar
riage and personal purity, are evident to
all. The negro slave was not taught to
read, but he dfd not emerge from absolute
ignorance when he was freed. He had had
for centuries the advantage or contact
with Anglo-Saxon civilization; and the
fact that the ex-slave Is even yet among
the best of our colored fellow citizens
should give pause to enthusiasts who for
get that with all its evils slavery has not
proved ah unqualified evil to the negro.
Perhaps it was a divine method in the ev
olution of the colored American citizen.
An interesting program of the session of
this body has been published. Among
those participating are many who have at
tained to high positions as educators and
leaden. Daily sessions will be held in
the C. M. Neel high school building.
The association will adjourn on-Friday
night next. /
T. B. Rice, a prominent druggist of
Greensboro, Ga., writes ak follows: “I
have handled Dr. Pitts’ for
eight yean, and have never known of a
single instance where it failed to give per
fect satisfaction. Parties who once use it
always make permanent customers. We
sell more of this article than all the other
Carminatives, soothing syrups and colic
drops combined.” For teething children
H has no equal.

An Old Gourd-
W. T. Saxon, of this chy, has probably
the oldest gourd in the world. It was
grown in Scotland and brought to . this
country in 1750 by Lewis Watson, who
settled on Clowd Creek, in Newberry
county, 8. C. He gave the gourd to his
son, James Watson, who used it all
through the revolutionary war to carry
powder with which to load his flint and
steel rifle.
In 1844 Mr. Watson gave this Interest
ing old relic to Jack Saxon, one o£ his
descendants, who kept it until his death
which occurred in Greenwood, S. C., last
Saturday, when it was handed down to
the next generation and became the prop
erty of W. T. Saxon.
Mr. Saxon has just returned from South
Carolina, and was with his father when
he died, at the advanced age of 71 years
and eleven months.
Robbed the Grave-
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, ia narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition,
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, no appetite—gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
bad given me np. Fortunately, a
friend advised trying'Electricßitters
and to my great joy and surprise, the
first bottle made a decided improve
ment. I continued their use for three
weeks, and am now, a well man. I
know they saved my life, -and robbed
the grave of another victim.’’ No one
should fail to try them. Only 50cts
per bottle at J. N. Harris & Son’s and
Carlisle A Ward’s drug store.

Birds and Bonnets.
You would look with anger upon a cat
which watches a canary and seeks to seize
and devour it, but what shall you say of
the sportsman who would shoot a bird
simply to show the steadiness with which
he can hold a gun, the accuracy of his
sight along the gun barrel and the pre
cision with which he can pull a trigger!
The cat, acting fey an instinct, seeks to
satisfy hunger, but the sportsman seeks
to destroy life simply for the pleasure of
killing.
Outside of my study window as I write,
among the snowy apple blossoms, a little
brown sparrow rests for a moment upon a
twig, cocking his dainty head to one side,
looking sharply about him with his bright
eyes, displaying his rounded, downy
breast, neat brown wings, compact, mus
cular body and complete and pretty form.
In a moment more he hops from twig to
twig, from blossom to blossom, picking a
morsel here and there, chirping with.
great content and apparently erfjoying life
to the full He is joined in a moment by
an oriole, whose wings are black, with
stripes of white feathers, and whose orange
colored breast seems to have caught the
rich color of the clouds of sunrise as he
soared and sang his morning song, so rich
and brilliant is his raiment. To these a
third bird, with golden breast and brown
wings, joins himself, and the trio feed on
the tree with great delight. If I had any
one of these birds in my hand, a mere
pressure of my thumb and finger would
silence the song and still the life of the
bird forever. But what right would I
have thus to take the little creature’s life?
If any creature may claim exemption from
cruelty and from untimely death, surely
a bird may claim IL—Homiletic Review.
