It is again rumored that Brother
Blaine is to be renominated for
the presidency.
Col. Carter Tate, our next Solic¬
itor General, came tip Saturday and
Went up to Union Superior Court.
Col. Tate is all right in Fannin.—
Blue Ridge Post.
The Gwinnett Herald says:
“Mrs. Felton has sharpened her
pencil and commenced writing for
the papers. There is no doubt now
that the campaign has opened,”
An Experimental Agricultural
Station is to be located in Geor¬
gia, for which purpose the sum of
Si J, 000 has been appropriated by
the federal government, It is
thought that it will be located near
Athens.
The new capital is getting to be
Un imposing structure. The dome is
rising in the centre and will soon
stand out prominently. When it re¬
aches its full height it will be visi¬
ble to people ten miles away from
Atlanta.
The Marietta Journal suggests
the nanle of Editor Perry,of the Ad¬
vance, as a candidate for represent¬
ative of Cherokee county. Should
Bro. Perry consent to run the Atla¬
nta Constitution will see that he
gets there.
The Central Railroad system
Will fill an exhibition car with the
products of Georgia soil, her min¬
erals, etc., to be sent around to all
the expositions and fairs ini the
north and north-east during next
fall and winter. Their object is to
advertise the wealth and resources
of this grand State, and expect by
this means to induce immigration
to turn in this direction. The pro¬
ject will doubtless prove to be suc¬
cess.
It is Understood that Hon. A. Oi
Bacon will undoubtedly run for the
senate from Bibb. He had thought
of going to the house, but did not
Want to antagonize Hon. A. S.
Clay, of Cobb, for speaker, so he
Will probably go to the senate. He
Will be a candidate for president of
the senate. If he should be elect¬
ed, as he probably will be, and
Gordon should go to the senate
Mr. Bacon may find a short cut to
the governorship.—-Augusta Chron

for the poor that special privileges

With all this effort and sympathy !

classes are still poor, weary ahd
distressed?
The work they have done is
nere, but the abundant fruits of
Mieir labor have past into the gol¬
den tankards of the capitalist,
Whose mouth has been filled with
^oiid futilities abolit their prdtec-
lion. No wonder there are strikes
Md bitter cotlterttioris. The point
i. has i been reached . when , reaction .
is
lie tO rnrde
: EDUCATION.
The experience of mankind, in
all the ages, has shown that
j the greater part of the mis- i
cries of the whole world I
I may be directly charged to igno-
ranee, and that in all civilized
States the fabric of government,
both social and political, is made
infinitely more secure by the gen-
oral dissemination of useful and
substantial knowledge among the
people. No question can engage
the talent and best thought, of
statesmen, of more importance
than that of public education, and
there is no part of the economy of
civilization among men that de¬
serves more consideration than the
education of the masses.
1 he -South has not kept pace
with the progressive spirit of the
age in this respect. The cause is
obvious and need not now be dis¬
cussed, but the fact we know, and
that which should now concern us
most is to find and apply the rem¬
edy without delay. The disease is
well-nigh mortal, and heroic treat¬
ment is necessary. In a former
notice of this subject, it was stated
that, according to the census of
1880, it was ascertained that there
were, in this State, 128,000 white
children, of school age, who could
not read or write their own names.
The number of children of this
class will probably be shown to be
much larger by the next census.
This is lamentable, in a Slate
whose history is more than 150
years old, and whose very name is
associated with achievements of
which her people are proud. It is
the duty of the State to educate
these children, first because it is
right to do so, and second because
it is to her interest to do so. The
population of Georgia is now more
than 1,500,000, and the school fund
of the State amounts to about
$340,000, or say 22 cents per capi¬
ta. No part (J this money is raised
bry taxation Fi property, and the
amount is not sufficient to afford
the most common school facilities
to the children of the State for
three months in the year, when
schools should continue ail the
year except the usual summer va¬
cation. It is often contended that
the people are unable to pay such
tax as would be required tor this,
but it would not amount to half
the sum necessary to build jails,
suppress crime and support crimi¬
nals, made so because men are ig¬
norant of their relative rights and
duties as citizens.
Then the National Treasury is
full to overflowing with an im¬
mense surplus, and a measure is
now pending before the House of
Representatives^having passed
the Senate—to give the States, on
the basis of illiteracy, more than
$75,000,000, in payments as need-
ed, to support r free schools. , , Ti It
, has been estimated . , that* , . on the
•

money

Only a few days since, it was
stated in a Southern newspaper
that the measure would not be re-1
ported to the House for the reason 1
that if reported it might pass. |
Why should this effort to educate
th- children bo ..mothcreJ,
it would give us money enough to j I
make common schools free lo all
the children of the State? The 1
answer may be found in the lIis .:

without tjamage to this precious
interest. S. A. Darnell.

GRAND OLD GEORGIA.
From tin: Marietta Journal.
No state offers a fairer field to
the immigrant or the investor,
From the mountain ranges that
gird her on the north, to the
seaboard and the sands of Florida
on the south, het hillsides and val-
leys yield a generous return to the
thrifty husbandman- every in‘her staple
product finds congenial soil
broad domain, and fruits and flow-
ers flourish as in the tropics; the
apple, pear and fig grow side by
side, the luscious grape hangs in
clusters on the hills; the peach
blushes red beneath the amorous
kisses of the summer breezes, and
the orange flashes its golden sides
in the autumnal sun. u. Her rtn sod M IS •

their rugged sides gush forth
sparkling streams which leap from
eras' gideur.aW^g to crag rivaling Niagara in
da,
row confines, plough their way
through broad field., and fertile
valleys, enriching their land, as
they go, until their mission Is end-
ed and they pour out their lives in
the insatiate sea. In middle Geo,
gia, county after county stretches
out its level or undulating surface
to the farmer’s plow, and grows
white with the cotton harvest or
yellow with the golden grain.
Along her coasts broad acres of
marsh lands are covered with wav-
ing fields of rice, and on her sea is-
lands grows a variety of cottdn, ri-
valitlg the fabled golden fleece in
vahiei miles of virgin forests can
be found in dll sections of’thb state,
and springs of pure water gush out
from the hillsides ready for the set-
tier’s use. Nor does her wealth
stop on the surface. Buried be-
neath her soil are riches yet great-
er than those who flourish upon it.
-ler Her mountains mountains are are Of Oi granite, cTanitH ex- ex
haustless fields of marble underlie
her hills; vast coal beds await the
miner’s pick; her mountain chains
are riveted together with chains of
iron and copper; Veins of silver and
gold push their way aldrig the has-
er metals, and even the diamond
is waiting to flash its brilliant i'ays
in the eyes of the prospector. And
not less attractive than her soil,her
resources and her products are her
citizens’ and the new comer will
ffnd in Georgia a people upright,
brave, industrious and hospitable,
who are ready to extend a cordial
welcome to all who come with hon-
est purpose and fair dealing to
cast their lot athongthem. Thrifty,
honest and loyal in her citizenry;
diverse, fertile and picturesque in
her soil; varied, prolific and untail-
ing in her products; unsurpassed,
genial and healthful in her resour¬
ces, she stands a peerless queen
among her southern sisters and
smiling with pride bn het broad
domains, stretches oiit het jbwelled
hand to the people of the world,
welcoming them to the Empire
State of the South.
Chicago papers report the Bur¬
lington strike a failure, and even the
men despairing of success. Some
millions of dollars wasted, the pub¬
lic greatly inconvenienced for sev¬
eral weeks and a large linmoer of
skillftil mechanics out of employ¬
ment are the net results of a very
foolish movement.
