EDUCATION IN GEORGIA.
Never before in the history of
the commonwealth has there been
,'ii 'ii a concerted action and deter¬
mination along lines educational.
Fanners, business men, statesmen
—-all are together trying to find a
W ay whereby Georgia’s education
:jl interests may be enhanced.
These men are earnest and sincere.
They have given much of their
0 wn time and means in order to
br.tig about a better condition,
And yet there are a few who stand
icriticise and sneer at every¬
thing that's done.
One of the most notable of these
knockers is the Rev. Sam W.
Srna'l. TIo is making a plea over
Georgia and the South tor national
aid in the education .of the chil
dren of the South, While he
makes some very plausible argu¬
ment in favor of bis proposition,
yet it seems to us that he went out
of his way last Wednesday night
in order to ridicule the work and
interests of some of the best and
truest men in Georgia—men who
have given more of their means to
further education and intelligence
in Georgia than Sam Small ever
saw. We have no objection to
Mr. Small or any one elsediffering
from us or others interested ; he is
to be commended for his zeal, but
it comes with poor grace from a
man like Small to call into ques¬
tion the motives of men like Gov¬
ernor Terrell, Governor Smith and
Samuel Inman.
We are reminded of Pat’s refer¬
ence to the bed bug. Pat had not
been in this country long and was
not acquainted with bed bugs.
However, soon learned them, and
one day he met Mike and said:
“Mike, I aint got nothin’ er-gin
the bed bug as a bug, but its the
darn way he makes his livin’ is
what I hate about him.” So we
say we have nothing against Sam
Small, as a Small, but its the way
he acts is what we dislike about
him.
Education in Georgia is like
everything else in Georgia, it mutt
be fostered and perpetuated by
Georgians. We can’t afford to sit
back on our haunches aud wait for
the U. S. Treasury to open for us.
If it, comes we can use it, but we
must also do what we can without
it. “The Kingdom of Heaven is
W,thin You.”
COVINGTON NEEDS HITCH¬
ING GROUNDS.
Every Saturday people come to
Covington from the country to
trade and sell their produce. They
generally ride iu buggies and wag¬
ons and take out their horses and
mules, tie them to their vehicles
and leave them on the public
square. There is always a iarge
crowd in town on Saturday and
the public square is many times
blocked so that a buggy or a wagon
cannot pa.s.
A horse or a mule is frightened
sometimes and he breaks loose
from h,. hitching place, or else
carnes the hitching vehicle with
h.m Then the animal is a menace
to the pub 1 ic safety.
Any town the stay of Covmgton
should put up hitching posts .or
the convenience of those who come
to it to trade.
We would suggest that the city
buy some tract or lot near the pub¬
lic square and put thereon a nnm
bet- ot hitching posts, then one
could pass through ,h. tmi.lic
square without beinR alraid of get
ting kicked or run over by a
vicious horse or mule.
l his is another among the num
erous items of interest to the pen
pie of Newton county which the
City Council might .Ton!* look into -o rl
we believe be eve the the people who i comem • i
rrorn the country and are compel!
ed to would be among the first to
demonstrate their appreciation *

MESSAGE TO DEMOCRACY.
A message has just been deliver
eel to the Democracy that is worthy
of the most careful consideration
of the members of ihe party. The
message is from Senator Tsidor
Rayner, who represents Maryland
ui the Lnited State Senate. As
Maryland is of the States that it
is necessary for the Democrats
tocarrytowin the next election
this message of advice from her
most distinguished son on the i
course the party should pursue is j
the more worthy of attention.
“Of course,” said Senat >r Ray
ner, t l we all appreciate the fact
that when a new issue arises the
Democratic party must take its
stand upon one side or the other
and as new issues develop parties
must enlarge and expand. No one
desires to restrict the Democratic
party either t,o a dead issue or
simply to those that existed at
the time of its foundation.
“Now, have we any principles?
I think we have. Has the Repub¬
lican party stolen them? I ac¬
quit them of the,charge. I think
that they are entirely innocent,
and I do not believe that they
have any felonious intent or design
whatever to appropriate them.
Is the president a Democrat? I
most respectfully deny it.
Senator Rayner, after sho ving
the lines that divide the two par¬
ties, said: ‘ We must not yield
the slightest fraction of the su¬
premacy of the States over their
own local and domestic concerns.
This is our heritage, and we must
not barter it for wealth, progress
or prosperity. Prosperity may be
only temporary, but the founda¬
tions of the republic are perpetual.
“In the next place, we are op¬
posed to governmental paternalism
It is a reproach to Jefferson to
claim that if he were living he
would be in favor of it. I predict
with great respect to others who
may differ with me, that the day
will never never come when the
Government of the United States
will own and operate the railroads
of the country.
“Let us give the present rail¬
road law a fair test and trial, and
if it does not answer the purposes
of its enactment let us extend its
provisions and supplement its
remedies so that it will meet any
emergency that may arise. There
is one proposition, however, that
the Democratic party must con¬
tend for in this connection, and
that is it must demand a Complete
obedience to the existing statute.
T’he railroad presidents and offi¬
cers of our trunk lines must be
made, once and forever, to realize
that they are the servants, and not
the masters, of the people.
After suggesting a platform
upon which all Democrats could
unite. Senator closed by raying:
“If we advocate principles that are
not Democratic and be again de
feated at the pol , Si then , t loots
me as if the hour of disintegration
wa9 nl hand , becauSB the only

< i There are more great big strap¬
ping, able-bodied boys loafing
around Covington than any place
I know of,” said a well known
and reputable business man to the
Editor one night recently. We
are sorry to say that this remark
was not confined to negroes alone,
Nearly every day a half dozen
hoys may be counted at one or two
familiar corners on the square.
We doubt seriously if some of
them could stand the test of the
vagrancy law. This should be
looked into, and these boys should
either stop lolling around street
corners or else go to work. Some
parents are to blame for this con¬
dition. Put your boy at some
useful work and keep him off the
streets so much .

says pie is one of the greatest ene¬

FLY FISHING.
The Expert Angler Explains Why It
Is a Humane Sport.
“Well,” said Chichester, “if it conies
to suffering I doubt whether the fish
tire conscious cf any such thing as we
means by it. But even if they are they
suffer twice as much and a thousand
times as long shut up in this hot, nasty
pool as they would in being caught iu
proper style.”
"But think of the hook!”
“Hurts about as much as a pin
prick.”
“But think of the fearful struggle
and the long, gasping agony on the
shore!”
“There’s no fear in the struggle. It’s
just a trial of strength and skill, like
a game of football. A fish isn’t afraid
of death; he doesn’t know anything
about it. And there is no gasping on
the shore, but a quick rap on the
head with a stick, and it's all over.”
“But why should he be killed at all?”
“Well," said he, smiling, “there are
reasons of taste. You eat salmon,
don't you?”
“Ye-e-es," she answered a little
doubtfully, then with more assurance,
“but remember what Wilbur Short
says in that lonely chapter on ‘Com¬
munion With the Catfish'—I want them
brought to the table in the simplest
and most painless way.”
“And that is angling with the fly,”
said he, still more decidedly. “The
fly is not swallowed like a bait. It
sticks iu the skin of the lip, where
there is least feeling. There is n«
torture in the play of a salmon. It'n
just a fair fight with an unknown op¬
ponent. Compare it with the other
ways of bringing a fish to the "table
If he’s caught iu a net, he hangs there
for hours, slowly strangled. If he’s
speared, half the time the spear slips,
and he struggles off badly wounded,
and if the spear goes through him he
is flung out on the bank to bleed t»
death. Even If lie escapes he is sure
to come to a pitiful end some day—
perish by starvation when he gets too
old to catch his food or be toru to
pieces by a sea), an otter or a fish
hawk. Fly fishing really offers him”
“Never mind that,” said Ethel
“What does it offer you?”
“A gentleman’s sport, I suppose,” he
answered rather slowly.—Henry van
Dyke in Scribner’s.
