"The Swrotoal fifth* JPUtMt.'
ftqjr When an Atlanta paper gets on
the rampage, and goes off on the brag,
there is so limit to the latitude it as-
emues to itself. First, let one start,
(and they start freqoently,) and in a
jew days it is announced in flaming
capitals that it 'has the largest circula
tion, ,J etc., etc. No question in church
or state can bs sprung, bnt like the old
woman when told that the cow bad eat
the grindstone, one or another of
them cries ont‘T t.)ld yoa so!” The
latest ''journalistic feat” of this kind
which we b;ive peen burdens the pro
phetic columns of the Post-Appeal of
Tuesday, where, in speaking of the cold
snap of the past few days it says, ‘‘the
readers of the Post- A ppeal wore warned
in ;idvanee, and will not t>e taken by
surp ise.” juet as if everybody did not
expect “a cold wave” or two in the cli
mate of A tlaota sometime between the
first of October and the lat ter part of
January. Such ‘journalistic” fore*
cast is truly retnorbab’e, but we are
going to try our hand, and beg the P-
A. to tell to its readers that we say
they will experience some warm weather
between the first of July and the latter
part of August next. And now we
think we are far enough ahead of the
P- A. to wait for him ab.t.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
'Tbs Legislature is once renre in ses
sion, and the subj ot of the public
school system wiil come properly before
it, and is one of the few subjec's which
idu4 occupy its profound consideration.
The State Constitution makes it imper
ative that the Legislature shall estab
lish and provide for a system of public
education ; that has in name and ex
penses to the people been done by for
mer Legislatures. But every one con-
turned, except the legion of school of
ficers, who will take the trouble to ac
quaint himself with the inside workings
of the present Byatem, and the profligate
use of the people's money in the pay
ment of a swarm of school officers to do
literally nothing, wiil pr-nounce it a
greater public nuisance thun a public
benefit. \\ e. _ssert without fear of suc
cessful contradiction, that, a greater
amount of money is collected from the
people for school purposes than i‘ would
reqn re to defray the entire expenses of
all the o her departments of the State
government economically adininis erect.
And as the children, who are the < b
jective beneficiaries, do not receive In
results, the question naturally arises,
at beeomes of this l.ir^e amount of
ney? Gentle reader and dear leg-
or, lei us whisper into your ears
t it is consumed in the payment, of
salaiies of Commissioner Orr. his
clerk or clerks, and m prly a tbous nd
other school officers throughout, the
State—and what is left tor the real ob
ject for which it was wrung from the
people is totally inadequate. This
must be changed, this hord of officers
dismissed, and the money applied to the
purposes for wh’ch it was intended —
Then and not till then may any fruits
at ail equal to the expendilures be ex
;>eeted. But how is this to be done 1—
We answer, re-enact the poor school law
of anti beUum days, making its ope
ration genet,^ where it was then only
partial. Is there a member of the
Legislature who has the nerve and hon
esty to attack this political hobby, and
show it up in all its hideousness ? If
not, then we say to the people, you have
waited long enough, and have been
swindled out of a sufficient amount of
your sweat earned money to learn wis
doiri, and when the next election comes, j
vot.e for no man- no matter who or
what ho may be—who does not pledge
himself to do all in his power to obtain
a reform in the State public school
sybtern.
WHITE'S TUIO.
Augusta Chronicle.
While the “Merry War” and “Billie
Taylor,” and ‘‘The Masootis” have
been attracting crows to the Masonic
theatre, it must not be forgotten that
'he J. B White Dry Goods, Clothingnnd
Shoe Company have a trio hard by,
equally as attractive. Noi is the tact
likely to be forgotten. White’s pop
ularity increases day bv day, and jndg-
ng from the crowds that throng his
three stores, his “53’' have about as
auuh as they can attend to. Dry goods, j
lo bing, hats and shoes, iu infinite va-!
iety abound in these monster establish
ments, but nowithstanding this, the
►m'erpritong proprietor is kept busy
eulenishiiig bis stock, so gieat is the
•Hiav-Uid. Mr. John Lnudnim, in charge
of the clothing department, hat* already
eft for New York to ootain 11 new
supply of clothing to take the place of
that which has gone off like hot cakes.
Tie public found that Mr While had
redeemed his pi ornise, to piaoe an ele
gant stock before them, and they were
not slow to take advantago of the op-
poitunity thus afforded them to pur
chase first class goods at bottom prices.
A ad this may be said with equal jus
tice of hia dry goods and shoe depart
ments. Mr. White is very justly proud
of his “trio.” He has a splendid line
of goods in each store, and they arc
sold at suoh reasonable prioes as to as
tonish the purchasers. The famous
“53” understand their business thor
oughly, and uo visitor to any of the stores
will over comptaiu of a lack of prop
er attention. People could not be bet
ter waited on in New York itself. We
commend J. B. White <%; Co., their
‘trio” and the “53” to our readers.
