WALTON GETS THE SCHOOL.
On last Thursday the trustesa and committes of the Fifth District
Agricultural school met in the Capitol and decided upon the location
of the school. After a few preliminary skirmishes, it was easily dis
oernable which county would succeed. Walton county succeeded in
capturing the pria-n Newton was handicapped in that she was not
able to increase her bid sufficiently.
There was a couttrast in the deligations ofJNowton and Walton.
Walton’s representatives were the wealthiest citizens she had, while
Newton's representatives lell far short of being the wealthiest vvi.hin
her borders. do
It’s all over and we are not disposed to kick now. But we
think that some of our fellow citizens should be less voluble in their
explanations of how Newton lost, when if what they really con
tributed was published it would pale into insignificance when com
pared with the average collection at a negro hot supper. There were
a few strong citizens of t he town who really unloosed their purse
strings and subscribed more than their proportionate share. These
men showed their interest and faith by their works. We wish to
thank them on behalf of the county, If you wish to know who gave
the least towards securing the school, just listen to the fellow who
stands on the streets aud talks the loudest aud longest about why
Newton lost.
The only explanation as to why Newton lost is she didn’t put tip
enough money So tar as we are personally concerned the incident is
closed, and we extend our hearty congratulations to Waton.
WATER WORKS FOR COVINGTON.
F >r ten or fifteen thousand dollars the city of Covington cau in¬
stall a water works plant that will be a credit to the ti^wn and a last¬
ing benefit to the residen’s.
Why should vve have a system of water works? hirst because
We need it, and second, because we are able to .lave it.. That ought to
be enough said to enlist the sympathy and efforts of the progressive
citizens of the town But let. us figure a little. If we had a system
of water W irks our Insurance would be reduced 40%. The standard
rate at present is about $17 50 a thousand. It a system of water
works was installed we could get insurance for &T0 00 per thousand, a
eleur Take saving of $7.(j0 firm a thousand^ that carnC —.and we'have 4 business
it man or men
who carry that much or more— at^ving of $ 750 on 'a thousand would
amount to $112.50 a year.
Then why should not water works pay here as elsewhere? By
proper piping nearly every residence in town could be connected. The
lawns during the dry, hot months could be watered, thus keeping
them fresh and pleasant. The streets could bo sprinkled to keep
down the dust. Each home could install bath rooms. The shops,
stores and hotels could be made til-ire convenient and hygienic. In
fact we would have no trouble in placing enough pipes and securing
subscribers enough to p tv the interest on the bonded debt, besides
laying aside a handsome sum each year to apply to the principal.
If wejhad water works we could have ladders and hose, a fire en¬
gine and enough volunteers to make a first class lire company. At
present we are as hopeless as the most remote farmer in the country,
so far as being able to control fire is concerned.
Let’s profit by the example of several small towns that are not as
wealthy, nor more intelligent than our town, and install water works
for Covington.
Why not submit the question to the people and let them vote on
v->.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Some ot onr exchanges have made mention of the fact that the
farmers living along the lines of rural routes have contributed a bush¬
el or so of corn to the carrier. ThD is u suggestion thatmigui. well be
acted upon by the patrons of every rural route. The carriers have a
governm nt job, but it is by no means a ‘ private snap”. It takes a
good deal of ma.-agem-nt to make both ends meet whe_ they are ob¬
liged to keep tw > horses, live in town and buy all the necessary pro¬
visions ut the market price. The carriers of our county have gone
over their routes during the muddy weather at a great inconvenience,
and are always faitbiul in the pertormance of their duties. A bushel
of corn or so given to the ca-r:er would hardly be missed by the far¬
mer, but it would be a great saying in the expense of horse feed and
the generous act wo aid certainly be appreciated by the faithful mail
iaau.—Henry County ’A eekly.
good show , 1
This strik-b us as being a way to your appreciation of
the carrier’s services. Tis true the governm nt pays him, but it does
n ot pay him mu h rh, cost ol living, the exponses of horse,,
buggies and equipments etc., are considered. Now, don’t g«t grouchy
and complain and say the carrier is well paid already, and that if he
is nit satisfied with his ; >b that he can quit it, or that you’d take it
at til* same salary etc; but rememb?r that he is your neighbor, a citi
zen among you, who is endeavoriug to make and honest living for
himself and family. Remember that he goes thru all kinds of weatb
er and is exposed when you ave by the fire.
The carriers are a sel of the most unselfish met:, and at the same
time the meet deserving, we know.
Show your appreciation in a substantial way.

AN APPRECIATED DISCRIMINATION.
Onr contemporary. The Enterprise, has changed hands several
times this year, and all of the gentlemen who have pushed the editor- j
I ml quill of The Enterprise were straight-forward and conservative, ;
yet, t , our notion Mr. Jus. P Cooley, the present editor, is giving the :
good white people of Newton county the best paper that they have j
ever had.
Our lot has been cast with the people of Newton county for the
past four years, and we have never met better white citizens than we
meet ]n Covington and Newton county. We have thought time and
that Newton county was worthy of a good strong weekly paper,
Long may Mr. Cooley live to carry on the good work.
The above clipped from the Covington Advocate, the only negro
paper in this section of the country, is appreciated by us. We iiave
been reading The Advocate ever since it began publication and with
one or two exceptions, it’s advice to the colored race has been along
wholesome hues. It has the good will and respect of the majority of |
the white people of the town, and will continue to have that good will j
so long as it shall be worthy of it. We all get what we deserve and
when we fail in anything we can usually trace hack and find the fault
within ourselves. If the negro as a race fails to make good in this
land of opportunity and prosperity, where he cau secure remunerative
wages for every day’s work he will do, the fault is with him. lie is
the highest paid laborer under the sun. We trust The Advocate will
continue to adyise its readers to strive to be industrious and respecta¬
ble.
We premise our hearty co-operation as long as the above policy is
followed.
