’nkath thk caption or “cap.”
When Polly first I mot, it seemed
In her glimpsed a dream I'd dreamed—
A dream that spurred me on to woo;
And captivated soon I grew—
A natural consequence, you see,
When Polly oct her cap for me,
Though not a captious chap at heart,
In other maids 1 found no art
To win me, rapt and wonder-eyed,
From captivating Polly’s side.
A slave I grew to each caprice
Os hen, nor deigned co pray release.
As if to cap the climax, Fate
Induced me to capitulate—
For.could I else than captured bo
When Polly set her cup for me?

TO THE BACBXLOB GIRL.
Here’s to the Bachelor Girl
Who fain her charms would cloister,
She is a precious pearl
That will not leave the oyster.
She is a proud sweet pea
That scorns to be a vine
And lean upon a tree
Or round a stick entwine.
•'What! lean upon a stick!
Ob, no! I’m not that sort—
I will grow branches thick
And be my own support.”
Beware, 0 pearl of price,
Lest you be cast to swine:
O proud sweet pea, think twice
Ereyourefuse to twine!
0 Bachelor Girl, we drink
Confusion to your plan ;
Beware, lest Fate shall link
You to a Spinster Alan !
O change, ere ’t is too late
The choker tall and silly,
The tweeds—the hat we hate,
For something soft and frilly !
Take off the stockings blue,
(We will avert onr gaze),
Then will we drink to you
Long life—and happy days!

Prof. Miller Objects to
Reducing School Fund.
The board of county comrnisfion
ers meets in monthly session today.
It is reported that they contemplate
putting Spalding’s pro raa of five
year convicts on the county roads.
Prof. Miller, county school com
sioner, enters the following objec
tion to such action:
Editor News and Sun—Permit me
to give a few brief reasons why our
honorable board of county commis
sioners should not elect to take
from the custody of the State Spald
ing county’s quota of convicts for
the purpose of working them upon
our public roads.
1. If this should be done, it will
diminish the school fund of the
county 12,400 annually, and thereby
shorten the school term about a
month.
2. There are 700 white children
of school age living at and near the
cotton mills who have absolutely no
need of better roads. Bat many of
them are growing up in ignorance,
and all of them should have the op
portunity of acquiring an elemen
tary education such as is provided
for in our common schools. The
county end city boards of education,
co-operating together, are now de
vising ways and means for reaching
these needy children educationally.
Our efforts in this direction will be
crippled if the commissionevs take
the convicts from State control In
addition to the 700 children already
cited, there are in the county more
than 400 who need education more
than improved roads.
3. The statute authorizing a tax
levy for ’the support of common
schools is practically inoperative
We can raise no money for school
purposes, but the county commis
sioners can raise money.
4. That feature of the convict law
authorizing county commissioners
to use convicts upon public roads to
the detriment of common schools is
unconstitutional. The constitution
of the State of Georgia makes it
mandatory upon the legislature to
make ample provision for the finan
oial support of our comm m school
system. Hire of convicts is one of
the sources of school revenue. The
legislature has the right to creata
end increase the school Income, but
it has no constitutional right to im
pair or destroy sources of school
revenue
5. The operation of this convict
law tends to increase the prejudice
against common schools. This
prejudice has no stable ground
upon which to rest. Our common
echocis are the only institutions of
elementary instruction now left us
These schools are the creature ot
our fundamental law nn.l will not
be changed. Free common school
educition is tho product of the civ
ilized world’s universal modern
nrogress Prejudice ngains« free
echo >ls on occount of tho negroes is
unreasonable. Toe right kind of ed
ucation hurts nobody and helps
everybody. Tbe negroes have the
right to receive from the school
fund that which they contribute.
White people h*ve tbe manage
ment of school affairs in this State.
The best white people of the South
are the negroes heat friends and are
willing to hi Ip them along toward
good citizenship and certainly will
not d-fraud them.
6 Contracts have already been
made prospectively for extending
tbe school term for the ensuing
year. An aggressive State cam
paign in behalf of elementary edu
cation has already been inaugurated
by Chancellor Hill, Bishop Can
dler. Hon. Hoke Smith, State School
Commissioner Merritt and other
dietin yuished educators, divines
and statesmen,, and if our commis
sioners u°e the convicts for road
improvement, plans for educational
betterment in Spalding county will
be considerably frustrated.
