upon simple business reasons.
We understand that the State
pays with regularity the salaries
of the Governor, the State House
Officers, the Judges of the Sup re me
and Superior Courts and all ap
propriations made to our Univer¬
sity and Colleges for “Higher Ed¬
ucation, ) i and even the colored
janitoTB about the Capitol need
not wait a day for what is due
them.
Wo do not ask that any special
privileges be accorded the teachers
in our Rural Schools, but we do
call upon the Common People of
tli is great Commonwealth to in¬
struct their Representatives in the
Legislature to see that “Justice”
is meted out Ur all alike who serve
the State; that the salary of the
rural teacher be paid at the end of
each mouth’s service; as well as
that of the Governor of Georgi a or
the humblest laborer wdio sweeps
the Capitol.
We respectfully submit that this
is not a matter which affects the
teachers alone; but as it is of vital
importance to the future efficiency
of the Common Schools of the
State, it affects every man, woman
and child of this great Common¬
wealth of Georgia.
We call upon the Legislature
with hope and confidence that at
its session this Summer of 1908,
this unjust discrimination be
stopped, and that all who serve
the State whether as Governor,
"State House Officers,” Judges,
Legislators, College Professors, or
School Teachers, be

4TH OF JULY AT
COVINGTON MILL
A Good Program Arranged and
the Barbecue Enjoyed By
Those Present.
fourth of Ju Iy barbecue at
the ., Covington Mills was of
the most enjoyable one
tended we have at¬
in years.
President N. S. Turner, Sup' C4
Worsham and the manncrpr CLj
neither time or effort in making it
a success. In every respec.t the
program was entertaining and
helpful speeches being made by
Col. L. L. Middlebrooko, Rev. H.
M. Quilhan, Rev. A. C. Schuler
and others.
And the dinner—well, we have
never enjoyed nothing like it since
we were there last year. Quite a
number of ladies of the town tak¬
ing part in the preparation of the
table.
1 hese fourth of July occasion*
are looked forward to by the mi!
operatives with a great deal of ex¬
pectancy and pleasure. And we
are glad that the management of
our millour own Covington Mill,
for every patriotic citizen of Cov¬
ington feels a pride in our cotton
mill. The management has al¬
ways manifested a keen interest in
the pleasure and convenience of
its employes.
We have alwavs thought that
the management of the Covington
mills deserves a great deal of cred¬
it for the manner in wh : ch it con¬
ducts its business. The interest
of employer and employee is uui
tual; the child labor question be¬
ing practically dealt with; a good
school i9 in operation almost the
year around; churches are sup¬
ported and attended; and on the
whole Covington should feel a
pride in her cotton mill and a
greater pride in its management.
Midway Sunday School Picnic.
Midway dosn’t do things by
her
freight o’clock sharp, not only
Midway Sunday School but Mid¬
way community gathered at tho
church where carriases, buevm?
a ,d wa;.o:&s awaited our pleasure
and at eight fifteen three dnible
wagons, one single wagon, four
curinges and several buggies were
packed to their utmost capacity
with theii cargoes of human
freight and awav we started
for historic old Salem Camp
Ground. We reached our destina¬
tion aUer a delightful drive over a
fine road. Upon arriving the
young men swung hammocks here
and there over the beautiful old
catup ground and ia thirty
minutes the place was converted
into a summering place with its
happy children and bright young
people. All sorts Of games were
engaged in but by twelve o’clock
the crowd began to congregate
around the baskets and one loud
shout went up for dinner-dinner
dinner. Tables were obtained
from the tents and the baskets
were all unpacked and such a din
ner. We have h°ard of tables
groaning under their loads but I
tun sure these table must have felt
proud indeed to be the beavers of
such an elegant luncheon as was
arranged ou these tables on our
happy picnic day. After luncheon
a game of ball was played by young
men versus boys. The boys
proved themselves A .No. 1. ball
players and defeated the young
mnn badly in the game. At five
thirty a second luncheon was
serV sd and reluctantly we
preparations for the drive home.
’p o0 much praise cannot be given
