Entered at the Post Office et BarneevUle, Oa., aa second class mall matter. APRIL 24, 1002. 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. —Dawson News. HOT CONTEST IX MON ROE COUNT Y Voting Very Close—Shannon an<l Walker Klerted Representative*.

Bow doin, 480. C. H. Sharpe was nominated for clerk of the superior court, receiv ing 089, while his opponents, Mes srs. J. JI. I’liinazee and A. A. Tur ner, received 295 and 292 respect ively. G. W.

Harper, county surveyor. R. S. Britt, for coroner. The people of Barnesville felt special interest in the race for clerk of the superior court and they are glad that Mr. Sharp was nominated. Jb‘ is a good man, an excellent officer and the people re joice at bis success. 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.

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. All these considerations point Spick and Span. The whole clothing and shoe department is aglow with the newness of the sea son. The selections are far and away better than ever before.

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 News. ■ 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.” JsoH Blackbvrv. L. Holmes. Barnesville. Ga. Milner, Ga.
