the present status of the campaign
would be interesting.

Befarm The School Laws. I
We hope the next le_.is‘.:mu‘ni;
will institute some reforn in the|
school laws, ’ ?
The fizures show that the nezroes ’
pay one third=th ot the school tax |
and receive one half ot it. In|
other woras, for every dollar they |
pay into the school fund they dmw(
out £15.00. A few negro school |
teachers are competent and cmni
scientions, but alas, they are v(n'y=
few, and the money paid to the‘
wmajority of them i 3 worse|
than wusted. The money flwy'p
can make out of it isall they care
for aud llw)";;u through the fm'm!
of teaching, without beucfitting
their scholars one iota. To teach
the required time snd make as bis
an average as possible and then
' get their sccount from the county
school comnissioner is their sole
vbject. Three fourths of the
money paid out to the negro
school teachers,and this is nearly
one half of the schoo! fand, is lit
erally thrown away.
The next legislature will be com
posed of a body of level headed
men, snd we hope they will give
the matter careful counsideration.
A Jaw shouold be passed, or some
arrangement be made by which the
school fund will be divided bes
tween the whites and blacks on 2
‘ more just and equitable basis than
is now in existence. It iz unfair
that one race should pay 4 per
cent. of the school fund and draw
out 50 per cent. of “it.--Quitman
Press.
(ettig Rich.
The S.avannah Nows truly
Says:
“Georgin is getting rich at a rage
that is not equaled by that ot any
other state in the South, and not,
pcrhnps, by any other state in the
union, Her farmers are in a pros’
perous conditior, new lands are
being brought into cultivation,
mines are being developed, rail
roads sre being built and towne
are growingz rapidiy in wealth and
population. Tle incrense m ‘her
taxable wealth last year was nearly
£33,000,000 and the assessed value
of property ,including railroads, was
$415,000,000. It is not a matter
of wonder, therefore, that the
bonds of the state are far above
par, and are eagerly "S_Q.l‘l:’gh‘@“ after
investments,
Aund it must not be forgotten
that the tax returns do not show
the actual wealth of the state
The assessers do not reach all of the
taxable property, and much ot
that which they do reach is not as
sessed at half its real value.
The farmers of the state are in a
much better financial condition
than they have been at any pre
vious time since the war. A large
pereentace of them are out of Jdeht
and a still larger percentage are
rapidly nearing that condition in
which they are not worrica by in
terest on money orstore debt s, With
prosperous farmers the siate can
not help being trosperous,
The Mayor of Branswick is un
der bond for shocting the superior
court clerk, Maroralty and mar
der have an alliterative kinskip,
but here the connection should
cease. When e pocketed that
pistol the chiet conservator of
peace and good order within the
city limits should have been off
duty.
There's not ajoy the earth can
give, like the sudden surcease of
violent and terrible pain, It is
like the rest at the gates of Para.
dise, but how can it be found? [t
is the simplest matter in the world.
