THE HOED QUESTION.
It is to be hoped that interest in the
new railroad and other projected en
terprises, which have absorbed public
attention the past few weeks, will not
cause our people to lose sijfht of the
school question. Good schools'are of
vastly more importance to the commu
nity than a new railroad, or any other
prospective enterprise that has been
discussed, or that can be now called to
mind. The proposed issue of bonds
for the purpose of providing: additional
school facilities is directly in line with
other improvements and extensions
that have been found necessary from
time to time to meet the demands of
our growing town. Since the opening
of the fall term the total enrollment of
white children in our public schools
has reached S02, and in the colored
schools 377. Nearly twelve hundred
children in school, and comfortable
school-room for not more than half that
number! The Temple avenue school has
long since outgrown the building, and
it has been necessary to rent rooms in
private homes near by to accommodate
the overflow from some of the grades.
Even the playground is overcrowded,
with no outlet for the romping young
sters at play time except the streets.
In tln> South Ncwnnn school the teach
ers are required to double on the
grades that is to say, each teacher has
two grades.
School work under such conditions is
necessarily deficient and unsatisfac
tory, and the pity of it is, the children
are the chief sufferers. The teachers
do as much as could be expected of
them under the circumstances; -the
wonder is that they are able to make
as creditable a showing as they do.
Here and there you will tind a child
less citizen who is opposed to bonds, on
the ground that a bond issue will in
crease his taxes. Against this selfish
objection we put the welfare of the
children of the entire community, and
believe the children deserve to win.
Moreover, regarding the question of
taxes, we believe that with better
school facilities (with such increased
efficiency of the system as is now de
manded,) will result in an enhance
ment of property values that will
offset a hundred times over the small
levy that may be necessary to meet
the bond payments as they fall due.
Don’t lose sight of the schools!
will be recalled that the asylum physi
cians testified that Bell was afflicted
with a form of dementia known as de
lusional insanity, and they advised
against his release from the institu
tion. Yesterday’s tragedy proves that
they were right. The asylum experts
understood Bell’s condition better than
did the judge and jury that gave the
poor fellow his liberty.
THE DEVIL'S OWN DREW.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry of the Agricultu
ral Department, who has been making ,
a crusade against impure foods and j
drugs and injurious beverages through-'
out the country, has this to say regard-1
ing the reckless sale of caffeine drinks j
at soda founts, to-wit: “Parents of
ten forbid their children the use of
coffee and tea at home, and yet. they |
are allowed to get caffeine dtinks at j
the soda fountains, unmindful that caf- j
fuine is the injurious part of coffee
and tea. These caffeine products are j
sold at the soda fountains without any
notice that they contain caffeine, and
caffeine in its pure form in such drinks
is much more deadly than when com
bined naturally with tea and coffee.’’
TJie good Doctor doubtless had coca-
cola in mind when he gave out the
foregoing statement, and he is not
alone in his condemnation of this and
other caffeine drinks. Dr. G. W. Ped-
dy, one of Newnan’s oldest physi
cians and most successful practi
tioners, has been for many years
preaching against the coca-cola habit.
He regards coca-cola as one of the
most insidious poisons that can be ta-
! ken into the system, impoverishing
the blood, lowering the vitality, shriv- j
cling the brain, destroying the nerves, |
impairing the digestion, and making 1
of the stomach a veritable purgatory, j
j The lining of a coca-cola fiend’s stom
ach. he says, hears more resemblance
j to a section of half-tanned bull-hide
| than anything he can think of.
Meriwether Vindicator: “.Judge W.
R. Jones, an able member of the Green
ville bar, and one of our splendid Rep
resentatives in the General Assembly,
is being prominently spoken of for
Speaker of the next House. If he
should listen to the importunings of his
many friends and enter the race, we
believe he would be successful in the
fight. He would make an excellent
presiding officer, and Meriwether
would be glad to see her distingished
son thus honored.’’
Governor-elect Brown spent Satur
day in LaGrange, and we infer from
the comments of the LaGrange news
papers that he made a good impres
sion. Referring to his visit The
Graphic this week says: “Now that
Hon. Jos. M. Brown has visited La
Grange and Troup county, the people
are more convinced than ever that he
will make the State a good executive.”
According to the report of the Cen
sus Bureau, issued Monday, the stocks
of cotton on hand in the United States
at the close of February amounted to
5,252,663 hales. The number of bales
ginned since Aug. 31 aggregated 13,-
006.612 running hales. The total ex
ports from Sept. 1 to Feb. 28, inclu
sive, were 6,566,571 bales.
Perry Home Journal: “The Far
mers’ Union in Georgia will be largely
responsible for a greater degree of in
tensive farming and diversified crops
in the State this year. This alone will
establish the order as a valuable and
most worthy organiz rtion. ”

The Lurid Glow of Doom
was seen in the red face, hands and
body of the little son of H. M. Adams,
of Henrietta, Pa. His awful plight
from eczema had, for five ye^irs, defied
all remedies and baffled the best doc
tors, who said the poisoned blood had
| affected riis lungs and nothing could
save him. “But,” writes his muther,
“seven bottles of Electric Bitters com
pletely' cured him.” For Eruptions,
Eczema, Salt Rheum, Sores and all

tric Bitters is supreme. Only 50c.

j —While prices of all other commod-
j ities still soar upwards, that of cotton
j continues to “shoot the chute,” yet
I the farmers are hustling to make more
! this year than last, regardless of con
! sequences. Before the Rubicon is
crossed, we appeal to them to use a lit-
I tie judgment. Plant enough corn to
make bread and meat, and then put in
all the cotton you can cultivate. No
farmer can prosper and buy corn at $1
a bushel.—Lawrenceville News-Herald.
