of the town—a species of municipal
sensitiveness that is not confined to
the Mayor of Birmingham. That
officer, it is said, when told that there
was a mob attacking the jail for the
purpose of lynching Hawes, the pris-
oner, and that it would be wise to
call in i ho assistance of State troops,
declared that Birmingham was able
to take of itself.
What the Mayor meant was, that
if there were any elaborate prepara
tions against a mob, the people
would bceome panic-stricken and
that the mob itself would take cour
age. But it is very certain now that
if the troops had been called out at
the proper time, the moral force of
their presence would have overawed
the turbulent spirits, and the law
would have boon vindicated without
the shedding of blood.
There is one lesson that every
municipality in the South ought to
learn, and that is, that a panic, bad
as it is, is much better than an epi
demic. When a case of small-pox
appeared in Atlanta several years
ago, there was great pressure brought
to bear on the Constitution to sup
press the fact. Wo were told that it
would frighten the people and injure
tiie town, but the fact was published,
together with all tiie information
that could be gathered about it. The
one case grew into several, but the
publicity given by the Constitution
aroused the authorities and the re
sult was that never in the history of
small-pox lias the disease been so
thoroughly stamped out.
Fcrnandina affords another exam
pie of municipal sensiveness. The
authorities there concealed tho fact
that yellow fever existed in the
town. This concealment may have
been profitable at first, but the town
is now nearly depopulated.
Off oa;; Cruise.

The “Flying Fish,” n large "sail
yacht which has been in the coarse

Thomas Brothers, will be launched
to-morrow morning.
The yacht is 24 feet in length and
8 feet broad and draws 18 inches of
water. It is fitted up with sails and
is also provided with oars.
As soon as finished they will sail
down to Brunswick, and go into the
fish and oyster business, shipping to
Macon. .
They will stop at different points
and send their spoils home and early
in the year will be cruising around
Brunswick harbor gathering oysters,
fishing and enjoying themselves gen

eminent printing office may have to
reduce, if not suspend operations
about Christmas time unless Con
gress gives the public printer $100,-
000 which ho needs to carry him
through this month. Congress ap
propriated for this fiscal year $300,-
000 less tliau the public printer said
would be needed and then remained
in session longer than ever before,
thus greatly increasing the demands
of his office. Now the public printer
need $100,000 to fill out this month
and this half year, and will
need $100,000 more for each of the
two quarters of the second
half year. Congress has made no
move as yet toward giving this need
ed deficiency. Should the govern
ment printing office have to stop
work for even a brief time it would
seriously interfere with its opera
tions.
[Savannah Newe-l
• The state press, so far as it has
spoken on the subject, is nearly
unanimously in favor of an increase
of the public school fund of Georgia
It recognizes that, while the pu
scoool system is very good, there is
not enough money available to keep
open -the schools more than three
months in tho year, when to secure
satisfactory results, they ought to be
open at least six months. More
tliau that, the state school commis
sioner is nat able to provide for the
teaching of the higher branches, jjnd
in consequence, the more capable
and experienced teachers are not
found in the public schools of this
slate.
Another thing which causes the
state press to favor an increase of
the fund is that parents who cannot
afford to send their children to the
high schools and academies beyond
the three months in which the tui
tion is paid chiefly from the state
fund arc leaving Georgia for other
states, where greater inducements
are offered in public schools. This
is a very weighty consideration and
one that cannot, fail to have its
leffeotupon tneinb.. •- of the present
legislature ..lien they come to decide
how they are going to vote on Sena
tor Hall’s bill to increase the fund.
It is not possible to say 'how many
people leave Gcergia annually on
account of our defective free schools,
but the number probably is consider,
able, and it would be much greater
were it not for the excellent public
schools inantaincd by several cities
and a few towns of tho state. It is
certain, however, that very few peo
ple, if any, are attracted to Georgia
by her public schools.
The public school fund, which is
now about $500,000, ought to be in
creased to $1,500,000. Texas pro
vides more thnu that; Virginia pro
vides -about $1,300,000, West Vir
ginia about $1,300,000, Connecticut
$1,700,000, Illinois about $9,000,000,
Massachusetts about $6,000,000,
Pennsylvania about $10,000,000, New
York about $12,000,000 and Ohio
about $13,000,000. Alabama recent
ly increased her fund consider
ably.
One of the state weeklies was led
to remark tho other day- that there
were more illiterate people in Georgia
than in any other state. This might
not be borne out by the figures, but
it illustrates the nature of the com
ment that may be caused by Geor
gia’s want of public school advanta
ges. Such talk will not help tho
state, and the legislature should put
a stop to it bj’ passing tho Hall bill
or some similar measure.
