Was the Abyssinian undertaking a
result merely of Mr. Roosevelt's well
known tendency to embark upon ques
tionable adventures, or was the scheme
roncocted in order to make political
capital in the doubtful states by put
ting forward a negro as a government
messenger to a distant commonwealth
of dark-skinned people? And If the
latter, why was the negro chosen after
all and given the second Instead of
the first place in the embassy? The
whole affair—from ths first absurd
proposition to establish a paying trade
with such a country as Abyssinia to ths
tragic death of the brother of our as
sistant secretary of state—1* a mys
tery worthy of the genius of a Sherlock
Holmes.

At cording to the New York Bun,
Georgia held the lend in the production
of j i n-hes for Hie Eastern market

In the Union. The supremacy has
l.cen wrested from Maryland. Twelve

producing states was: Maryland, six

rt • of Georgia for peach growing haa
been established, with the result that
Georgia has largely increased the num
ber of ltn peach bearing trees, while
In the other states there has been a
diminution in the number of trees. In
the fall of 1901, the number of peach
trees reported In these etntes, and sx-

ANOTHER ME89AGE FROM PARK-
ER.
Mr. James Creelman, writing for the
Review of Reviews, makes public
for the first time, another remark
able message from Judge Parker,
nent to him In June a# a repre
sentative of tho New York World,
which the World, for aomc rea
son, did not print, that newspaper being
one of those that Joined In the domsnd
that Parker “say something."
For months Judge Parker was nc
cused of politics! cowardice because h
would * not engage In politics or dis
cuss It from the bench. ITe was car|-
atured, abused, ridiculed, because be
vould not talk, die bore the strain
heroically, and with stolid patience
until the time came to speak. Not
only his enemies, seeking some ad
rantage, but many of his friends, poll
tlcnl leaders and powerful newspapers,
J him to speak from day to day.
To ths representative of the World
Judge Parker wrote:
ALBANY, July 17, 1904—You may bo
right in thinking that on expression of
my views la nocottary to secure the
nomination. If so, let the nomination go.
I took the position that I have main
tained—first, because I deemed it my
duty to ths court} second, because I
do not think tho nomination for such
an office should be sought. I still bo-
lievo that I am right, and therefore
expect to romain steadfast.
Very truly yours,
ALTON B. PARKER.
This was written with ths expecta
tion. no doubt, that It would be pub
lished, but it was not until now. It
bears the same stamp of the one sent
to the Bt. Louis convention, the stamp
a man of the highest and best mould.

ended Judge Jfcrker'a course. Thin
iwapnper saw In hla course the sc
on of / man qrho •'believed that Tho
Igh office of president was neither to
i sought nor to be shunned."
The contrast with others wss a re
freshing thing to behold In these sordid
days of ths self-sseksr and ths blow
er of one's own horn. Ths admirable
conduct brought actively to his sup
port thousands of men in all of the
states.
It all Illustrates ths high character
of ths man. "Let ths nomination go,"
If U cannot corns as it should coma, a
willing offering of a people free to act
for themselves. unpledged, untrainmel-
i purchased.
d with the idea that wo-
would. In future, os well Is in
the past, hold these position*.
A woman, who has had twelve years
experience In the school room, must
of necessity, have satisfied an Intelli
gent board of education os to her skill
and ability In order to have retained
the position for that length of time.
Such a woman rarely resigns her poaU
tlon for marriage or other reasons;
she takes her place among the regu
lars. Sickness, age or death stills her
voice in tho school room.
For years, those who have appor
tioned school funds, have assumed an
apologetic attitude to the teaching
force, alleging that salaries paid did
t represent the estimate put upon
e work of teachers, but the financial
limitations of the county and state.
That element of patriotism and mis
sionary zeal which enters so largely
into the work of every true teacher
reconciled them to this state of things.
They took patiently the amount prom
ised them, or the scrip that had to be
heavily discounted.
Rut If statistics, if the newspapers
and tax officials are to be credited, the
state Is getting rich. The governor's
salary has been Increased from $3,000
to $5,000 per year by reason of the
same conditions that exist among the
teachers; vis, Inability of the governor
to make his salary adequate to de
mands upon It. Salaries and wages In
nit other departments of Industry have
been Increased. Certain It Is that the
necessarlea of life cost from 15 to 20
per cent, more than the^ did ten yeara
ago.

Ths Cats of the Chineie Girl.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Tbs enclosed dipping criticising the
Chtneee exclusion act la exciting too
much maudlin and misplaced sym
pathy. The South Vn making her fight
against social equality and her social
purity should call to hsr aid her breth
ren of the Pacific slope, who are fight
ing the same battle we are—thelra be
ing directed against the yellow mesa
and oura against ths black. The
same repugnance that keeps ths negro
out of our white schools should keep
the Chinese out. The management of
Wesleyan have no more right to admit
the mongoltan than they have to admit
tho African. True ah^ Is coming to
be educated as a missionary to her
people, but the church by which Wes
leyan is sustained helps maintain two
schools -Payne Institute at Augusta.
Qa.. and La no Institute In Kentucky to
better prepare colored teachers to In-
atruct the black race. Why not tend
this Chinese girl to one of these. God
haa placed hla curat upon the Inter
mingling of races by bringing the

Acta XVt, chapter Cth to lJth. verses,
get a map of the world nnd consult any
good history of that time and you
In view of what haa been said,
think the 465 maximum a serious thing
if It be n standard of the estimate put
upon the value 'of work done by a
teacher of twelve yearn experience, es
pecially if this standard in to be a
fixed one.
Sixty-five dollars for nine month* In
the year means an average of $48.75
per month. Out of this sum must
come actual living expenses—board,
dress. Inundry, street car fare (for
oftener than not the teacher is sent
out of her own district). In addition
to this, the school room decorations,
st money, text books, nnd n goodly
number of reference books, the sum
mer training school and other sub
tractions made by the position Itself,
render the teacher’s life work a hope
less one from a business stand point.
When twenty years of hard work shall
have pnssed by, she mukt confront the
samo financial conditions that obtain
ed at the beginning.
Bright, hopeful young men who left
her clnss only a few years previous,
will greet her kindly and In answer to
her Inquiries will say, "O, yes. I am
doing well; I make $75 n month and
um noon to have a raise; niy boss has
promised It!"
Why Is It that in all professions, the
possibility, even ths vory hope of se
curing a competency for nge. Is pre
cluded to ths wontnn teacher alone?
This element of hopelessness na to
reasonable results la dangerous to any
work It enters; sooner or later comes
the blight.
Rome states In recognition of these
conditions have met the difficulty by
holding out the reward of a pension
after so many years of service. A pen
sion however. Is a very questionable
gpod. Almost any of Mr. Rockefeller's
employees would Infinitely prefer such
compensation for his services ns would
enable him to pay hla own doctor,
rather than to spend a season of pau
perism In one of the hospitals which
Mr. Rockefeller has provided for him.
The fair solution of this matter Ilea
not almply in the prescriptions of the
Hoard of Education, almost If not all
of whose members are painfully con
scious that the teacher's salary is not
value received, nor yet with the county
commissioners who apportion tho
funds. A righteous public sentiment,
making itself known nnd felt la nlwnya
the power behind the throne, where
justice Is to be done either to the In
dividual or the class.
Germane to thla remark: It waa only
last year thnt one of the eolons of the
8tste Senate objected to nn increase
of appropriation for the schools on the
ground that It would benefit no one
but the teachers. Pity, ao many whoaa
position entitle them to speak as a
Cobden or a Peel, utter only the vapor
ing* of those “who think they think."
The $<5 maximum Is a matter of
congratulation aa a atep toward Justice
and as such has been welcomed by the
teacher, hut not as a correct estimate
of the value of work requiring twelve
ears preparation and twelve years'
experience.

There has been shipped from Thom-

Twiggs Herald: The Georgia leg
