Wo have bad nearly three hundred years’ experience with the negro, who speaks the same lan guage as we do and bao lived side by side with us, yet it requires but little to fan the flame of trouble between the two races. A nice problem of race war we will have if the Philippines are annexed and the natives suggest that they ought to have some say in tbe government of the islands.—'New Orleans Times Democrat. Tho Only Way to Reduce Taxation There is only one way in which tax ation ean possibly be reduced inGeor gia, and that is lor the state to spend lees money. If a law is enacted where by tbe tax dodger is made to return hie property at correct figures, it will in a measure diminish taxation, but it cannot fully remedy the evil. Suppose, for instance, a man returns his proper ty for |IOO and pays one per cent, taxation. He pays tbe state |l. Sup pose be return* his taxes under the proposed law fli S2OO and the tax rate is ortMalf of one per cent. He pays tbo state 91. Tbe reduction of tbe tax rate would benefit those who give their property in now at full vhlus, but would benefit no others. The only way to reduce tbo tax rate and with it tbo amount of taxation is to out ap propriations. Wo commend Gov. Candler for his message to the legislature end the leg islature would do well to follow hjo. advice. We commend Mr. Brandon’s bill to revise tbe pension laws so as to provide that no veteran or Widow of a veleran can secure a pension unless it is demonstrated that it is necessary for their actual support. The legislan tore should pass a number of such bills looking to a conservative and sensible retrenchment in the expenditure of the state.—Athens Banner.
