THE COUNTY SCHOOLS.
WH AT SCHOOL COMMISSIONER MIL-
LEU SAfS OF THEM.
Tilt* Bad Shape of Hit* Tax Digests**
Amount of Poll Tax--Count)
School Houses.
Prof. J. O. A. Miller, of Sunny
Side, Spalding County School Com
taissioner, made a settlement with
tho County Commissioners jester
lie reported Sl.038.C8 of poll tax
collected and tumid over to him, ac
cording to law. gather with 747 nn
paid tax fi fas.
In a conversation with the News
Prof. Miller slated that he thought
the tax digests of the county needed
revising, ond he proposed to bring
the matter before ibo next grand
jury. There are 2100 names on the
digest, while tnero are only about
1800 poiis in the county, showing
that there ere at least 250 names
that should not be there. Some of
tl e parties arc dead and some have
moved, and aie unjustly reported as
defaulters when they are honestly
payiDg their taxes in other counties
just as thej’ did while here. It is an
injustice to tbu individuals as well
as to the county to have these names
continued ou (ho digest from year
to year.
At the recent examination for coun
ty school te .chore, there were eleven
applicants, eight of whom passed.
The three who failed '-.ere <• lored.
There aie about twenty five colored
teachers in the county, but most of
there art* examined in Atlanta, where
they attended the different colored
universities, all of which, according
to Prof. Miller, are doing good work
in educating the negro.
Prof. Miller is in favor of using
the school fund for one or two years
for the erection of school Louses in
the different districts. While this
would necessitate paying for school
ing from private resources during
tne time, it would bo a permanent
improvement to the county and would
in the end inuro most beneficially to
the public school system.

HAY AND GIDDY GRIFFIN.
The Social Side of Society During the
Past Week.
We doubt if there is another place
in the world where aa much regard
is paid to the social courtesies and
pleasant amenities—the {softening,
humanizing and enjoyable aspect of
civilization—as in Griffiu. It may be
horrifying amidst a hard, utilitarian
and money loving world of devotees
to Mammon and avarice, but it is
none tho less true that people in
this section livo to enjoy themselves
rather than to grmv rich. Forget
ting tho doctrine by which so many
live, that the only object of life is to
leave something behind when one
dies, Gulfia people remember that
a man lives but once and believe in
tho motto of “Dum vivimus viva
miis.''
* * *
Y\ tide this is always true, and
there me sowiul calls and pleasant
dinings and small suppers anil
general swinging around the clrclo
during the whole cycle of the year,
yet it is in the lime just before Lent
that everybody in remembrance of
that penitential period unites in an
“all hands around and grand right
aud left,** that is liable to make dizzy
the too giddy devotee of pleasure
and folly. It is for this reason that
Griffin society, which has been quiet
slumbering ou the surface during
the most of the winter, has bubbled
over during the week just closed.
♦ 4? *
There is no bouse in the whole
South that is better prepared for the
uses of hospitality than the Bailey
mansion. Spacious rooms, wide halls
and iofty columned verandas, all fum
ished with elegance and taste, render
the art of entertaining easy and make
the guests almost independent of
everything but themselves. When
to these are added the charms and
tact of such a hostess as Mrs. Mary
Fowler, it is not to be wondered at
that the party of Tuesday night far
eclipsed even the Club reception and
rivalled the great leap year party—
though so different from the last that
no comparison can fairly be made.
The night was beautiful—a warm
Southern moon shining from a clear
sky and an atmosphere so balmy in
midwinter that the most pleasant
evening was spent by those who prom
euaded the veranda, or talked in low
murmurs on the small balcony high
above. There was dancing and eat
ing and other refreshments, and two
o’clock was early when all left.
* * *
Skipping intervening matters, such
as a tripe supper, an Arcade dinner,
a fish breakfast and an oyster tea, we
are plunged into the bewildering
whirl of the masquerade party at
Mary Villa on Friday night. This
time one of the sudden changes in
the weather incident to this section
had come, and brilliant moonlight
was displaced by the wettest and
darkest night of the season. Yet the
weather only made the contrast more
agreeable alter emerging from the
not uncosy depth of the carriage in
to the warmth and brilliance of Col.
Mills’ pleasant home. The costumes?
Who shall describe a modern fancy
ball costume, when it is impossible
to tell a Swiss peasant girl from a
Turk or the Duke of Macon
from an Atlanta vase ballist
Ed. Jones, however, in the
character of Aleck Murray, with a
coffin fer a costume, was the most
striking if not beautiful figure; while
the noble Indians whooped things
up as lively as could be expected of
their untutored minds. The dan
cing was enjoyable and the refresh
ments delightful. The affair was
given by Miss Bessie Mills in honor
of Miss Etta Myers, of Atlanta; and
the Savannah revenue officer was
there also.
The first society event of this we k 1
will be tho Mendelssohn Quintette j j
concert at the College bajl on Tues
day night; though there will be an |
entertainment by Love's Comedy
Company and Famous New Orleans
Grand Gift Carnival at Patterson‘s
ball on Monday night.

GENEROUS SENATORS.
GOOD WORK OF JOE BROWN,
STANFORD AND l'ALMER.
Young Georgians Kepi at

Gift of the First Named.
Washington, Feb. ‘i .—Senator
gift of $100 to Trinity Col

as LL. D., calls attention to the
of some of his brother Senators

Ga., thinks one of the best
he did in his life was the short
of study lie procured at Yale.
is now one of tho richest men
the South, and he surpasses Alex
II. Stephens in his gifts to
men for educational purposes,
ids methods of giving tend to
men and not paupers out of
students. Brown gave $50,000
the Southern Baptist Theological
at Louisville, Ky., and
$50,000 he gave to the State
of Georgia. This last
is invested in 7 per cent
which have fifty years to run^
the interest of which is j>aya*ble
Two thousand fivo hun
dollars of this interest goes to
students at Athens, Ga., and $1,-
is given to the branch college at
This money is tor the
of indigent students, and
student so helped gives the ohli
that on leaving the college
will pay hack the money as soon
be can make it to the University,
Such payments are to he added to
the principal and thus increase the
the^capitul fun No student at Ath
ens College is permitted to spend
$500 a year, nor more than $150
a year at Dahlonega. The "student
who wishes to bo aided by tho fund
must be a worthy young man who is
unable to pay for his tuition or whose
parents are not able to educate him.
Gov. Brown tolls me that his fund
keeps from twentystwo to twenty-
five young men constantly in college,
and that as one set passes off by grad
uation others tollow and that the
places arc all the time occupied. The
plan upon which the charity is found
ed is perhaps the best one ever in
vented. It continually increases the
endowment and students can avail
themselves of it without feeling that
they are beggars or charity students.
Senator Brown is probably espec
ially interested in the branch college
at Dahlonega by this being the seat
of some eif his first adventures in
Georgia. W hen Brown came to
Georgia he fi c. lived at Gaddistown,
and here, it is said, be ploughed on
the hillsides in his bare feet with a
bull and hauled wood into Dahlone
ga, selling vegetables in a basket to
the hotel there, and thus aiding in tho
support of his father’s large family.
At this time, I doubt not, some of
the citizens at Dahlonega thought
Joe Brown rather “small potatoes,”
hut he is now rich enough to buy a
hundred such towns and h*e has given
this iarge amount to the college
there.
Senator Palmer is another charita
ble millio: .ire, but his tastes run
more to ait and religion, il has
built a very pretty church in Detroi
to his moth i’s memory and ho gave
$10,000 to the art gallery of Dc'roir.
Senator Stanford’s royal gift of from
$15,000,000 to *2G .AX),000 for a uni
versity in California has
wide notice, and Stanford is as
ful in his gifts as Senator Brown.
is building the university now, in
der that there may be no fuss
the donation after kis death, and
charities arc many. Senator Wilson,
of Iowa, has done a good deal for
library of bis town, and this is true
nearly every one of the members
the United States Senate. The
greatest givers, however, are
ford, Palmer and Brown.

knows that luxuriously miserable
sensation of having a row with the

painfully aggrieved expression at

the peculiar sensation of bnviog the

of trying it on with some other and
