Parrott, BROWN & PARROTT. Editorh and Publishers. Governor-Elect Brown to Visit Newnan. Hon. Jon. M. Brown, Governor-elect, will spend next Friday (lilth inst.) in Newnan, and during the day hopes to have the pleasure of meeting us many of the Coweta people as possible. He will arrive from Greenville at 0:40 o’clock Thursday evening and will he met at the A. &. W. P. depot by a com mittee of citizens and escorted to the Virginia llodse, where he will stop during his stay in the city.

'/’;//•; SOUTH NEWNAN SCHOOL. All indications point now to a satis factory agreement between the City Council and the Board of Education as to the need of better school facilities in South Newnan, as well as the char acter of the building necessary and proper to meet this want. The crowd ed condition of the Temple avenue school, and the hampered situation of the teachers, have seriously interfered with the school work for more than a year. Recognizing that an improve ment in the conditions described was imperatively demanded, and believing that the educational interests of the community would be better subserved by segregating the school population of the city, the Board of Education has for some time been urging upon the City Council the advisability of erect ing in South Newnan a school building large enough to accommodate all chil dren of school age In that section up to and including the seventh grade. This would relieve the conges ted conditions in the Temple avenue building, and provide ample school fa cilities for years to come. The city lias paid all the bonds issued eighteen or twenty years ago for the Temple avenue building, and now has no school debt at all. Fifteen or eighteen thous and dollars would be sufficient for the erection and equipment of a good school building in South Newnan, and the need is so urgent and so apparent that we believe a bond issue for this pur pose would be approved with hardly a dissenting vote. it should be a cause of general grat- ulation among our citizens that the City Council and the Board of Educa tion are at last agreed, first, as to the pressing need of additional school facil ities: and, second, as to the amount re quired to provide the facilities de manded. it. only remains now lor the City Council to order an election. The peo ple will do the rest. could he constructed even more quickly. It remains for those who are invested with supreme authority and responsi bility to decide at this critical juncture whether the logic of the isthmus does not require the construction of a canal at sea level.” A movement is on foot to have Good Roads day all over the State on Wash ington’s birthday, (22d inst.) What do the people of this county who are in terested in the subject say to a public meeting at noon on that day in the court-house? Feb. 22 will be a legal holiday, and all the R. F. D. carriers can attend. It is estimated that a good road raises the value of farming lands $5 to $10 an acre for a distance of a mile or two back on either side of the road. ____________ According to an estimate recently made b^ the Federal Government $500,- 000,000 is being hoarded in private hands at this time. If this money were deposited in the banks, where it would draw on an average of 3 per cent, a year, it would mean the addition of $15,000,000 yearly to the wealth of the United States. In other words, the hoarding habit costs the people of this country $15,000,000 annually. In four States of the Union, (Wyom ing, Colorado, Idaho and Utah,) women possess the same political rights as men, voting at all elections on the same conditions. In Wyoming the right has been exercised for forty years. JOE BROWN’S INAUGURATION. Concerning the coming inuguration of Governor-elect Jos. M. Brown, the Augusta Herald, which paper was a warm supporter of Hoke Smith, has the following to say in an editorial: “Mr. Brown has indicated that he wishes his inauguration to be simple. He doesn’t want any pageantry- no great parade, no show to ape royalty, such ns is growing more and more to be the custom in inaugurating Presidents and Governors. He has given his friends distinctly to understand that his induction into office is to be marked by no fanfare or blare of trumpets, hut that it U to be a simple ceremonial, becoming a Democratic form of gov ernment. In making this announce ment Mr. Brown is to be commended. It will be a good beginning for his ad ministration. It is an indication that there will be no idle show, no waste of effort, no hollow sham, but that his ad ministration is to be business-like and democratic. Well decided, Mr. Brown. Stick to it. Throughout your^idminis- t ration let this be the keynote of your action, and you will have the people behind you. Your administration will be a blessing to the State, and ’Little Joe’ will be esteemed by the people as one of the biggest Governors the State has had.” Hall County Officials Indicted. Gainesville, Ga., Feb.—The Hall county grand jury this afternoon found true bibs against W. N. Dyer, former Ordinary and former chairman of the Board of Roads and Revenues, and I. F. Duncan and .Jeff D. Whelchel, for mer members of the board, for malprac tice in office. There are two separate bills of in dictment. The first true bill returned was for a misdemeanor, charging the Commissioners with having let con tracts for three bridges without adver tising for bids. The other bill of in dictment is on seven counts, as follows : Count number one charges the Com missioner with having sold a pair of mules to the county while a member of the board, which was illegal. Count two, I. F. Duncan is alleged to have sold supplies and lumber to the road gang while it was at work near his home. The third count is that W. N. Dyer was given a warrant for $51.35 to re place a part of the county’s weekly pay roll, which was stolen from the vault in his office one Saturday last fall. The Commissioners, in giving Judge Dyer this sum. decided that inasmuch as it was the county’s money that was stolen he should not personally suffer the loss of it. The fourth count is that B. H. Mor ton, a livery-man, was paid the sum of $23.33 ior the board of Judge Dyer’s horse. The fifth count is that the Commis sioners illegally paid to W. R. Reed the sum of $4 for services rendered the board before said Reed was inducted into office as a County Commissioner. The sixth count recites that the Com missioners had no authority to pay a note of $4,000 to the Good Roads Ma chinery Co. for road machinery out of funds borrowed for that purpose before said note was due. The seventh count specifies that the Commissioners spent more money for roads and bridges than was levied for that purpose. The Commissioners claim that they have acted within tiie bounds of reason ; that they have not knowingly nor in tentionally violated anv law, and that they were actuated solely for the coun ty’s good in the various transactions of the hoard. They will likely give bond for their appearance at the July term of court to answer the charges against them. Georgia All Right.

Mr. John Gorham, an old Troup coun ty man now living in Waco, Texas, writes a timely warning to the farmers of Georgia in a letter to the editor of the Newnan Herald and Advertiser. He is hji intelligent and observing man, well posted as to Texas farming inter ests, and knows what he is writing about. He savs that this year the farmers of Texas will plant tifteen million acres in cotton, on land that will make from one-half to three- fourths of a bale to the acre without fertilizers. If there are no ravages by insects, and normal conditions prevail, Texas will make a record-breaking yield of cotton this year—possibly half as much as the entire product of last year. We know nothing of Texas condi tions, but if Mr. Gorham’s predictions come true, we can readily see that such a bumper crop of cotton as planned for that State would so depress the price of the staple as to knock all possible profit out of the Georgia crop, if Geor gia should wholly rely on cotton. Of course, Georgia is going to continue to make coiton. and a great deal of it. If we may judge from the reports we read in newspapers from the several sections of the State. Georgia farmers this year will plant a larger acreage in corn than ever before, and the improved methods o; cultivation will insure a bountiful yield. Mr. Gorham’s letter is a timely warning, which will serve to more fully confirm the determination to look well to home supplies first, and then for a only be second to Texas as to yield. Here Bridge at Moore’s Ferry. Whitesburg, Ga., Feb. 11.—Consider able interest is being manifested in the proposed steel bridge across the Chat tahoochee river near Whitesburg. The river is the dividing line between the two counties, Carroll and Coweta. The people of the two counties are becom ing greatly concerned in the movement to build this bridge, and it is expected that the authorities of each county will soon take the matter up for considera tion. The progress of the counties in the good roads movement, giving safe, quick and better facilities for traveling on the public highways, demands much better and more convenient way of crossing water-courses like the Chat tahoochee river. Some sections of Georgia along this water-course have strong, well-built steel bridges over the most popular roads. The road by Whitesburg, known as the Newnan and Carrollton road, which crosses the river at Moore’s ferry, is one of the main thoroughfares through this part of the State. It is at Moore’s ferry, just 2 miles from Whitesburg, that the proposed steel bridge may be built. While other parts of the State adjacent to the river have steel bridges, there is a distance of 75 miles between Atlanta and Franklin without a bridge. Newnan Merchant is Denied Discharge. Atlanta Constitution, 3d inst. Judge Newman, of the United States Court, yesterday affirmed the report of Special Master R. O. Jones in the A. E. Brod bankrupt case, and as a result Brod, who was seeking a discharge bankruptcy, will not he given one. Brod was in business in Newnan and year ago this month filed a petition for discharge in bankruptcy. Some of his creditors objected and the case went to a special master, the creditors claiming that the petitioner had either secreted or destroyed his books or had failed to keep an account of the manner in which his assets were handled. The special master in his report to the court declared that the books of the petition er for a discharge should show where the money went, but did not. The de cision of Judge Newman, conforming with the special master’s report, de nies the petitioner a discharge in bank ruptcy. Revolts at Cold Steel. “Your only hope,” said three doctors to Mrs. M.

E. Corey, the steel magnate, to be re ceived in what is known as “society” in New York have thus far proved un availing. The steel king, according to report, is hound that his wife shall he everywhere received, and the vaulting ambition of the former footlight favor ite in this regard is said to exceed his own. Meanwhile, “society” continues to pass by on the other side, for though in the past it may have been willfully and fitfully lenient to the nouveau riche, in the present instance it recalls a dis creditable episode in Corev’s domestic life. We cannot forget that the head of the steel trust put away his first wife -the woman who had he ped him rise froth poverty and ignorance to affluence —in order that he might be free to marry the actress who now bears his name.—Philadelphia Ledger.
