A SPEAKING TOUR
It is announced from Atlanta
that Rev. Sam Jones, Dr. L. G.
Broughton, lion, Seaborn \\ right,
Rev. Sam Small will make a tour
of the state, in the interest of
Hon. Dupont Guerry’s candidacy
for governor. They will speak at
different points in the state, where
it is most convenient for getting
together large crowds of people. 11
is understood that Mr. Guerry will
also accompany these gentlemen
and make speeches at the differ
ent points.
It is a unique feature of the
present campaign and may have a
tremendous effect on the race.
The combination cannot lie sur
passed in the state for oratory
and the power to entertain and
influence people and no doubt large
crowds will flock to hear them.
From reports Mr. Guerry’s
chances for the nomination for
governor are bounding upward,
and the resell of the present, race
is very much in doubt. It is get
ting very interesting and will be
eagerly watched to its finish.
Bartlesville has her troubles but
she is pushing onward. She is
going to do her best to right all
wrongs and keep growing.
Pike county will cast her ballot
for Hon. \V. B. Merritt for slate
school commissioner. The people
here know him and will vote for
him.
It is said that the railroads of
Georgia are willing to spend $50,-
000 to elect Terrell governor. If
so, why are they so anxious to
elect him and defeat Guerry?
Hon. 0. 1. Brannan has an
nounced as a candidate for con
gress in the Fifth district, or
rather in Hon. Lon Livingston's
district. He was recently defeat
ed for representative in Fulton
epunty.
Pike county could well afford to
stand by Guerry, not simply,be
cause he is a prohibitionist, but
because he is with the common
people of tin* state in every issue
in this campaign. It is like Sam
Jones says, Terrell has got the
wrong crowd with him.
The farmers of Georgia are al
ways busy at election times but
they should go to the polls and
vote. They are vitally interested
in the government of the state for
they have to pay a heavy share of
the taxes. The farmers as a rule
ar* not the tax dodgers.
Sound llnsineKti lU'KMHiintt*
The merchants of Syracuse, X
Y., have drawn up and signed a
mutual agreement declaring that
in the future they will do no ad
vertising whatever except through
the newspapers. They assert that
as a medium for advert ising that
brings returns no other method
compares with the medium of
newspapers.
The Syracuse merchants are in
disputably correct in their conclu
sion. The intrinsic worth of
newspaper advertising is becoming
daily more evident to progressive
men of brains and business every
where. The great merchant
princes of the country have built
up their business from insignifi
cance to power almost solely by
the liberal use of printers’ ink,
and each succeeding year they are
spending more and more in this
way.
As an axiomatic fact newspaper
advertising does pay surprisingly.

Gwyn Solicitor.
Gover r Candler Saturday ap
pointed and commissioned Hon.
Chas. R. Gwyn, of Zebulon, solic
itor of the county court of Pike
county for a term of two years.
The appointment of a solicitor
was provided for an act passed
by the recent legislature.
Col. Gwyn was recently endors
ed for the position by the grand
jury and the appointment was
made in occordance with this en
dorsement. He is a promising
young lawyer and was a candidate
for the legislature from this coun
ty. It is predicted that he will
make a fine record as the solicitor
of the county court. Col. Gwyn
has hosts of friends who extend
him congratulations over the ap
point nient.
Owen For the iieiflsliU ure.
We call attention to the an
nouncement in this issue of Mr.
Emmett Owen for the legislature,
subject to the democratic nomina
tion. He is a young man of abil
ity and is quite popular among
the people. Should lie be nomi
nated and elected he would no
doubt make a very acceptable rep
resentative and reflect credit upon
the county.
Any father is the authority on
the management of other people’s
children.
If a man looks at his watch
while you are telling him a funny
story cut it short.

Progress and Education.
Material prosperity and public
education go hand in hand. What
ever advances the one assists the
other. A certain degree of mate
rial prosperity must precede the
establishment of schools; and in
turn, the education furnished by
the schools advances the prosper
ity of a community. One of the
best reasons for desiring material
prosperity is that it affords means,
leisure and opportunity for human
development. The whole effort
of man is no longer devoted to
supplying mere bodily needs. Thus
what advances the material inter
ests of a community or a state
will assist the Jcause of education
and must, in fact, to some degree
necessarily precede universal edu
cation. Philanthropy may offer
opportunities for education, but
where the struggle for life pre-oc
cupies a community such oppor
tunities cannot reach those who
need them most. Universal op
portunity for such employment as
at least relieves the pinch of pov
erty, must precede universal edu
cation. The general prosperity
of a community or a state is
I therefore the concern of the friends
of education as well as of all good
! citizens. Those who look at the
matter intelligently do not los,>
| sight of the fact that material ad
vancement is but the lirst step in
the progress of humanity, that
| public or private wealth is not an
I end in itself but a means to an
end; they see however, that the
tirst step is a necessary one. There
are those who urge education as a
means for material prosperity,
and while it is true that public
education does augment power
i for industrial advance, it is never
theless true that this is not the
highest, object of education. To
favor education for this alone is
not only putting the cart before
the horse on the order of progress
but it. is belittling the aid of edu
cation. While there is such a
constant reaction between the
advance of education and indus
trial progress that neither can
continue without the other, it is
only those individuals who are ex
ceptionally strong and ambitions
that, succeed in obtaining an
education in a community held
back by hopeless poverty.

to the fact that there is still much
pioneer work to be done before
universal education becomes an
actuality. This pioneer work con
sists largely in developing- the
material resources of the state, its
land, mines, manufactures and
means of transportation, in giving
paying employment to those who
need it and in stimulating the
ambition of all for advancement.
This, as well as direct efforts to
extend opportuities for education,
is urgently needed and to some ex
tent must precede any marked ad
vance in public education. —Macon

Placed on the Teacher's Desk.
School teachers get some curious
written excuses for absence, says
the New York Tribune. One of
them reads: “Mister, sir, my son,
Jason had to be late today. It is
his bisiiess to milk our cow. She
kicked Jase in the back to-aay
when he wasn’t looking or think
ing of her act’in. So he thot his
back was broke but it ain’t. But
it is black and blue, and the pane
kept him late. We would get rid
of that cow if we could. This' is
the fourth time she kicked Jase,
but never kicked him late before.
So excuse for me.”
A girl absent for a day brought
the following excuse: “Miss
teacher —My dotter’s absents yes
terday was unavodable. Her shoes
had to be halfsoled, and she had a
sore throte. Her konstitushun is
delikit and if she is absent any
more you can know that it is on
account of unavodabel sickness or
something else." A boy absent
for half a day laid the following
explanation on his master s desk:
“Dear sir, please excuse Henry.
He went to grandpapa’s funeral
with me this afternoon. I have
been promising him for several
weeks that he might if he was
good, and he has been very good,
so 1 kept my word."
NEGLECT MEANS DAMGER.
Don’t neglect billiousnees and con
stipation. Your health will suffer per
manently if you do. Rett itt’s Little
Early Kisers cures such cases. M. B.
Smith. Butternut, Mich., says “De
tVitt’s Little Early Risers are the most
satisfactory pills 1 ever took. Never
gripe or cause nausea.”
