State Education. No. 1.
Mr. Editor :—The election for
representatives in our State is now
over, and our legislature will soon meet
in solemn assembly to make, revise,
perfect or repeal our laws and institu
tions. We believe that our people
have chosen from among their wisest
and best men, and have great confi
dence in their wisdom, patriotism and
conservatism, and believe that they all
want to do the best they can for the
state and for all the people ; but there
is one subject that interests all repre
sentatives aud all the State perhaps
more than auv other. That is the
subject of education—public schools.
And if you will allow us space, we
wish to discuss it at some length, from
the standpoint of a citizen and a demo
crat. Georgia being a democratic
State, it is a question that democrats
have to deal with and are responsible
for. It is not a new subject, lor the
policy of our State has nearly always
been to foster common schools, or aid
in education in some way ; but espec
ially since 1877 we have been trying to
perfect a system, and especially for the
last decade we have had on us what
might be termed an educational craze ;
so that every representative feels like
he is specially called upon to do some
thing on this line, or his administration
:is a failure. And there is a kind of
; rivalry between States as to who will
do the most, or have the largest and
j best educational system, all of which
may be very well. We all realize that
iit is the duty of the State to make it
' possible for, and to aid, the poor in ob
'aiuing a good English education. And
in doing so it is just and wise to pro
rate its benefits among all classes.
We have inaugurated a bureau ofed
ucation, with a State commissioner at
the head, and have been fortunate in
procuring the services of efficient and
good men who do all they cat. to fur
ther the interests of education and
make a fair distribution of the funds,
which we suppose the present year will
exceed a million dollars, and each coun
ty having a good commissioner and
board of education through whom
schools ate run and disbursements are
made, a truly great work is being done.
But in our glory and persistency of
effort, may there not be danger of do
ing too much, or exceeding reasonable
bounds —how far ought we to go ?
There is one vital question that should
have been decided before, hut if it has
not, should be settled in every mind
now, and that is who is to educate the
children, the State or the people ?
Who ought to bear the responsibility of,
and give direction to training, parents
.mcdonough, ga.. Friday, October t><». into.
of children, or the State. In Georgia
(for which is all we speak) until re
cently, if not until now, it has been
conceded the duty and privilege to ed
ucate, or have educated, their own chil
dren by parents in the way that best
suited them, or was most availing, and
we believe they all appreciated the
duty and enjoyed the privilege. Was
that right or wrong ; was it a false ad
mission, or a natural condition ? If it
was right in the past it is equally so
now, and will be in the future and the
State has no right, or is it in any way
politic to take away any natural rite ?
Hut its duty is to defend aud help them
io their possession. If we have been
right, which we believe we have, and
the great responsibility and boundless
pleasure of educating children comes
with father and motherhood, then our
State has long since gone too far in
some respects. When we were only
paying about three cents a day for six
ty days in the year, we undertook to
control in books, aud caused a great
many changes. If it is the people’s
business to educate, this is wrong, no
matter how much the State pays, even
if the changes had been beneficial,
which we don’t believe they have, ex
cept in exceedingly few instances, if
any at all.
It has been our privilege to see and
examine quite a uumber of the text
books set aside, and those adopted and
ordered used in their places for the
past .welve to fifteen years, and must
say that according to our best judge
ment there lias been nothing gained in
merit, and in some instances we have
suffered lobs. • We had Webster’s or
thography, i. e., his spelling book and
dictionary, and we know that they are
derided now by many of our educators,
so much so that if Mr. Webster was
alive now and could hear the criticisms
of many of our modern professors (es
pecially upon his time honored blue
black) he would likely wish that he
had never been born. And yet it is
the only book, so far as I know, that
even preUuda to do what its name sug
gesls —supply the elements of the lac.
guage. These are kept revised, and I
have seen no good results from an ex
change So with grammars, geogra
phies aud especially our own Sanford’s
system of mathematics. Our people
would be very slow and careful about
changes if left to them. Rut if it is
the duty of the State to educate, and it
assumes the responsibility, why then
let it control in books, teachers, school
grounds and all. If our State arro
gates to itself the education of the peo
ple, assuming all authority over schools,
; teachers and pupils, it seems to us that
eveu the populist idea of furnishing
hooks, though extreme and unheard of,
would not he entirely inconsistent Let
us remember that when the Blair hill
was pending in congress, proposing to
educate the nation to a Very large ex
tent, and especially our southern coun
try, our main objection was it gave too
much federal coutrol of our text books
and literature ; and how much mere is
it an assumption for the natiou than
the State ? Joun M. Thurman.
Locust Grove, Ga., Oct. Bth, 1894.
The Old Soldier.
This vote shows that jhe people of
the State are not unmiudful of the old
soldier, who, in his old age aud infirmi
ty, is thrown upon the cold chaiity of
the world.
Many of them are much more de
serving of assistance to battle with life’s
storms than the men who lost a leg or
an arm, who are well provided for.
There are men drawing SSO and
SIOO from the State who are worth
thousands, and do not need the charity
of an impoverished people, while on
the other hand hundreds of worthy
meu, broken down by disease and old
age, who just as faithfully battled for
their country’s cause, are beggars, look
ing each day for their daily bread from
the hand of charity.
Now let the Legislature revise the
entire system. Giving more to those
who need it, and less to those who do
not.
Our people are poor, but we do not
object to charity to those who actually
need and deserve it.—Gwinnett Her
ald.
“Prayer of the Nerves.”
It has been sa : d that pain is the
“prayer of the nerves for healthy
blood.” The paius of Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Dyspepsia, etc., have their
origin in bad blood. Purify the life -
current —the blood—lot it course
through all the vital organs, pure, rich
and red, bearing nourishment and
strength to each part as it has need,
and charged with power to remove all
obstructions and expel all waste, and
the pains mentioned will disappear.
They ate but symptoms. Remove the
causes, which produce them and they
cannot exist. Dr. King’s Royal Ger
metuer does that very thing with un
equalled ease and unfailing power.

Columbus Enquirer Sun : “Georgia
has safely escaped the danger of hay
ing her State government turned over
to the Hines Watson combine, with its
negro allies, but the small majority by
which the escape was made should be a
warning to the lukewarm Democrats
whose absence from the polls made
even that result possible. It isn’t pos
sible that they would be deliberately
willing to sacrifice the State govern
ment and repudiate all the splendid
record of the party, aud plunge the
people hack into the horrors of the old
rec nstruction period. Their recent
course certainly eucourages that ten
dency.”

The Congressional Klectlon.
The facts attaching to the late state
election evidencing a combination of
populists and republicans should he
S taken by the democrats of the country
1 as a warning that they cannot ground
their arms, hut that that they must he
j active, up aud doing, if they would suc
-1 ceed in the congressional election on
the (ith of November.
It is quite evident to every reflecting,
observing democrat that the democratic
party will have to contend with the re
publican aud populist forces combined.
This fact, of itself should sweep away
every vestige ot democratic apathy and
every democrat to diligence aud faith
ful discharge of duly. lu the late elec
tion too many democrats were apathet
ic., too many were indifferent, too many
remained away from the polls. ISuch
a course upon the part of democrats
will not prosecute democratic principles
to success, but on the contrary courts
defeat and encourages the enemies of
democracy.
The time now is when eternal vigi
lance and activity should be the motto
of every democrat iu the country.
The democrats who hesitate, falter
aud lag behind in the congressional
contest now on will, to that extent, fall
short of duty, and will that far aid in
encouraging and foisting upon the peo
ple republican principles and republi
can rule. When democrats believe that
a coalition has been formed between
republicans aud populists, and then fail
to do their duty as democrats, do they
not, to that extent, aid in setting up
again republican rule? From the
standpoint of every unprejudiced, ob
serving man, who watches the drift of
the political current, it is plain that the
defeat of the democratic parly means
re-estahlishment of republican rule in
this government with all the attendant
curses it has heaped upon the people ic
days that are gone. The failure of
democrats to go to the polls and do
their duty iu the coming congressional
election ini'ans republicanism to the
front and tuin to the people. Every
reasoning, thinking man may be as
sured that a coalition of republicanism
and populism means that republicanism
will swallow populism and, if democra
cy be defeated, will hold the reins of
government. Therefore every demo
crat, yea every lover of freedom and
liberty, every man who earnestly de
sires the welfare of the people and the
prosperity of the country, should align
hinjself with the principles of democ
racy and enter diligently aud actively
into honorable, noble battle against
theoretic vagaries and principles that
promise uothing hut hurt and harm to
the general public.—Monroe Adver
tiser.

Here is a farmer’s way to get rid of
rats. He says he has tried it when
they were bad and got rid of them all.
Take one half pint of sifted meal and
put into it a thimbleful of calomel, such
as is used in families. Mix well and
place in small tins or some shallow ves
sel in or near the place where the rats
infest; all to be used dry, and in a
short time rats will be very scarce on
the premises.

A mother who now sends out a sou

a time when the chances are all iu fa

Business men were never more will

“Young blood” as it is called, is the
life of the modern business world, and
is everywhere sought. In New York
the demand for the right kind of young

the supply, and what is true of New
York is true of all the large cities.
Bear in miud, however, I say the right
kind of young men, and by that classi
fication I mean young men who are
willing to work, and work hard. The
day of the young man who works liy

hour when the office shall close, has
gone by even if it ever existed. Hun

No mother need have undue anxiety

He must he honest above all things,
and allow nothing to convince him that
there is a compromise between honesty

He must be an out aud out believer

TARRIi
As Described by Dr. Hartman, One of
the Ureatest Authorities and Wri
ters on Catarrh.
The symptoms of chronic catarrh
vary according to the stage and exact
location of the disease. The first stage
of catarrh of the nose and head pro
duces discharge from the nose, sneez
ing, pain in the eyes and forehead,
weak, and sometimes watery eyes, oc
casionally loss of memory. In the last
stage the discharge ceases, and dry,
offensive scabs form in the nose ; polypi
growths sometimes form in one or both
nostrils, and the pain in the head and
eyes is much less. tJnless something
is done to prevent, the catarrh will fol
low the mucous membrane into the
lungs, where it will be followed by
cough, night sweats, rapid loss of flesh,
and the other dread symptoms of con
sumption.
I’e ru-na is a specify for every case
of catarrh, whet! er the d’sease is loca
ted in the lungs, kidneys or Btomach.
The dose of Pe-ru na should be a large
tablespoonful before each meal and at
bedtime. Women and some delicate
’men should begin with a teaspoonful,
and slowly and gradually increase to
the above full dose.
Free books on chronic catarrh, la

How a Chinaman Karins.
A large part of the farming of China
is done by irrigation. It is wonderful
how well they work, and how much
they get off the land. Thiee crops a
year is by no means uncommon, and
if any sign of a failure of crop is seen,
the seed for another crop is straight
way sown.
It is wonderful how small the farms
are. There are thousands of biddings
in China which are less than an acre,
and some are even as small as the tenth
of an acre. It is estimated that an
acre of land will, in the better parts of
the empire, support a family of six,
and a volume could be written on Chi-
nese agriculture.
The use of fertilizers is universal,
and, though there are practically no
horses and few cattle, there is no laud
which is so well fed. Everything is
saved Thousands of men do nothing
else but gather up bits of fertilizing
matter and sell them. The refuse of a
rich family will bring more than that
of a poor one, and the slops of the for
eign part of Shanghai are farmed out
annually for a sum which gives the
city the most of its educational fund.
Potato peelings, the parings of fin
ger nails, the shavings of the head, and
other refuse from a part of the fertiliz
ing material, and this is usually put
together in such liquid form that not a
hit of it is wasted. The manure is
kept in great vats, and the farm is wa
tered like a garden. Each plot gets its
daily food and drina. A dipper full
from a vat is put in each backet of wa
ter, and the mixture is poured in at the
roots of the plants. All throughout
this part of China such fertilization
goes on, and from twenty to thirty dol
lars a year is sometimes spent upon an
acre of land. —Ex.
