I was vegetating
■< ago, as a 14-
year-old illiterate, no one went into
conniptions over the fact. The woods
were full of us, and a jollier set never
had a corner on stone bruises and sore
toes. Aggregately, we were known
as the coperas breeches brigade. We
were taught to plow, hoe, pull fodder
and pick cotton. On Sundays the
creeks and mill-ponds were ours. When
the "irrepressible conflict’’ opened up
we gathered our fusees and went after
Uncle Sam’s boys in blue. Most of
them could read and write, but our un
lettered legions shot the haslets out of
the enemy same’s if they'd been poor,
ignorant creatures like ourselves. No;
it ain’t the lack of education that’s
causing the trouble with the young
sters nowadays; they need to be taught
how to perform manual labor. Develop
their bodies, and if they have enough
oiinflin their garrets worthy of the
name it will grasp enough information
to elevate them above "the hewers of
•vvyod and drawers of water.” It’s all
I'oiuwcock to spend the millions of
inonej that is now being expended on
the youth of the land. They are over-
educated as it is, and yet wo are con
tinually hearing the line and cry, "give
them higher education.” Education
never made a man who hud not ambi
tion to back his intellect. ’ There are
thousands of hoys and girls who have
the most finished education obtainable
from our best schools; but when they
strifes the problem of making their
way n> life they prove to be mere ci
phers. They would hive been better
equipped for life had they been given
mununl training, with a three It’s
schooling. The worst feature of tne
whole business is, the would-be altru
ists who are so clamorous for educa
tion are not satisfied with ruining our
mediocre white children by cramming
their unrcccptivc uraniums with useless
literary trash, but they also thrust upon
the over-taxed white man a set of black
jjpes who must, in accordance with the
system which they advocate, also be
educated ’ What is the average nigger
fit for when he learns to read and
write? In the main ayainattoring of ed
ucation turns his head and lintits him
as a laborer the only thing he has
ever been lit for since he shed his tail.
But the big fellows who handle our
school funds cry, “Educate him.” Why?
The man who is worth a baubee will
educate his own children, and would be
glad to be relieved of the expense and
responsibility of educating a lot of
worthless niggers. We need “refuwm”
an this line.
wails; "The citizens of the greatest
country on earth are in the peculiar fix
of having no national appellation by
which they may lie designated.”
There’s where you are dead wrong,
bud. He’s the best known foreigner
that walks abroad, and the subjeets of
effete European monarchies call him
"yankee.” Everybody knows from
whence he hails when you give him
this appellation. Let not the generic
term, “American,” given him by the
barbarians.worry your erudite soul, be
cause when he is thus labeled every
one knows he’s a yankee American.
But mayhap you think the name
"yankee” is only a nickname. All
right. Then, we’ll introduce your cit
izen of the United States as a United
Stalese. Thai’s the proper adjective
for him. We ay Chinese, Japanese,
Veronese, Berlinese. ” ’Ese’ is a suffix
of Latin origin added to names of
places (towns or countries) properly,
to form the adjective’s meaning—of or
belonging to such a place; hence, the
same being used as nouns by the omis
sion of the appropriate noun, to signi
fy an ‘inhabitant of’ such a place.”
The foregoing is the language of the
Century Dictionary. It is true the
word United Statesese would not fall
trippingly from the average tongue;
hut ye who are clamorous for the eter
nal fitness of things, and who are sub
jects ol Uncle Sam, must take your
medicine and call yourselves United
Statesese. If you don’t like it, expa
triate yourself to a country that has a
more euphonious flow—England, Franee
or Germany, for example. When you
find a man you can’t place add “ese”
to his native land and you give him
the kibosh. This is easy. Give us
something hard.
—It's like Christmas or the Fourth
of July when Bob Clower come to
town. He’s the quintessence of good
luck and good looks. He was here
Thursday.
—I am in receipt of “Illustrated
Griffin,” a brochure that contains many
fine views of that progressive town—
among others the Georgia Experiment
Station, and the old Confederate mon
ument, erected in .1869. This memorial
stone is reared near the remains of

—Friday afternoon, at their elegant
home on Maple street, Mr. and Mrs. L.
P. Mandeville entertained quite a num
ber of friends, the following ladies and
gentlemen comprising the list of
guests: Prof. J. H. Melson and wife,
Mr. and Mrs. Homer Perdue, and Mr.
and Mrs. Homer Hannah. The colla
tion was of epicurean variety and ex

Piedmont Springs to visit his father,
Rev. Geo. D. Harris.

don takes the cake. 1 don’t (ling this
stricture at the prostrate form of the
dead lion because lie’s dead. Really, I
am sorry for any man who commits su
icide, or puts himself in a position to
let a rantankerous horde of enemies
eviscerate him. Guyt took the job from
the champion of the Macon platform.
He was taken upon the mountain top and
shown great things which should be his
if he would worship at the shrine of “re-
fawm.” He promised; he apostatized,
and met the political death that awaits
him who tries to serve “two masters.”
These defections seem to have been
the most cogent factors in his political
undoing, viz; He broke faith with
Gov. Smith, and also made a few thou
sand dollars dealing in Athens street
railway bonds. Public sentiment, en
gendered by his speculations on the one
hand, and the ex-Governor’s legislative
friends on the other, put the fixings on
him good and proper. Vale, Guyt!
The A. & M. School is really the
biggest thing in this section. She is
now making preparations to have a fair
that will make the State exhibit at At

She has taken a suite of rooms on the
third floor of the new bank building,
and has them labeled on the outside
with the large, beautifully-written leg
end : “Headquarters Fourth District

We are pleased to note the return
of Miss Bessie Thornton, who won a
scholarship at one of the Atlanta busi

equipped as a stenographer and type
writer. During the vacation of Miss
Daisy Harris she takes her plate with

—Carroll county has an excellent
receiver of tax returns in the person
of Mr. W. D. Lee. He is the new in

which the returns have piled up over

he’d been digging down in neglected
places for this increase.

amply supplied- from the ranks of the

have clothes, you know, and the public
highways must be worked. The cotton

AND' RENT
ING AGENT.
A misguided womam once ventured! to
remonstrate with Worth, the man nail-
liner, because he charged her -660 for
a dress.
“The goods,” said the lady,, “-could
be bought for $100, and surely the
work of making it wcxdd be well paid
for with $26- more.”
“Madame, ’ replied) the outraged
tailor, “go to M. Constant, the painter,
and say to him: ‘Here-is a canvas and
colors, value one dollar. Paint me a
picture on that canvas with these
paints, and I will pay you thirty-three
and one-third cents. ’ What would be
the answer! ‘Madame, this is no pay
ment for an artist.' No, but I say
more. If you think my terms are too
high, keep the dross and pay me noth
ing. Art does not descend to the pet
tiness of haggling.”
History does not record the lady's
reply.
A soggy, sour individual was looking
gloomily at the front of a plumbing es
tablishment, says the Bohemian. 1

the cause of his curiosity. At last I real
ized that his attention was riveted on
one single sign. It read:
“Cast Iron Sinks.”
The man turned and saw me also ex
amining the sign. He pointed his finger
toward the board.
“Why,” he said, “any blamed fool
knows that.
