Just think children in Georgia between nl' 10 and U who don’t know a camel’s heel. Wl in ignorance fifty y of 20,000 tile ages '(l" from 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 many of my gallant comrades who have gone to “the bivouac of the —Mr. Edward Stewart and family have returned to Atlanta, after a visit to Mr. and Mrs. C. II. Stewart. —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 cellence. —Mr. Geo. Harris left Thursday for Piedmont Springs to visit his father, Rev. Geo. D. Harris. —For pure, unadulterated leather- headedness Commissioner Guyt McLen 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 lanta look like a farmer’s barnyard. 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 A. & M. Fair Association—Oct. 6, 7, 8.” Enter your stuff and win erne of the numerous valuable prises offered. — Watch our mcney vegetate!

K. Snead, the popular cash ier of the Citizens Bank, accompanied by Mrs. Snead and their children, are taking an outing in the North Georgia mountains. We are pleased to note the return of Miss Bessie Thornton, who won a scholarship at one of the Atlanta busi ness colleges. She returns fully equipped as a stenographer and type writer. During the vacation of Miss Daisy Harris she takes her plate with the Title Guaranty Co. —Carroll county has an excellent receiver of tax returns in the person of Mr. W. D. Lee. He is the new in cumbent, but from the manner in which the returns have piled up over iast year ($131,511) one would think he’d been digging down in neglected places for this increase. Mr. A.

A busy street scene on Hill street gives one an idea of the town’s com*- merciai activity. The Coon and King Cotton are shown. The dusky imps are plucking the "otton. The spacious res idence of one of her honored sons, Judge Rob';. T. Daniel, stands promi nently forth in artistic display. Cotton mills and niggers fill the remaining pages. The cotton mills have made un precedentedly fine records as money makers, while the county chaingang is amply supplied- from the ranks of the coon contingent. The people must have clothes, you know, and the public highways must be worked. The cotton mills will furnish tile former and the criminal element among the- niggers the brawn for the latter. I am under obligations to Mr. A. S. Murray, of Griffin, for the brochure. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Bradley spent last week at Borden Springs. The First Baptist church has not succeeded yet in securing a pastor. Rev. C. M. Minor, of Bainbridge, gave them a sample of his pulpit oratory Sunday. Miss Bessie Conley entertained her friend, Miss Willie Sharp, of Rome, Saturday. Mr. John Baskin and family spent the past week in Temple. --Miss Mae Cole, of Newnan, is spending the week with her aunt, Mrs. C. H.

Besides having faith in the foregoing truism, I’m a firm believer in heredity of character as well as that of physical develop ment. There’s my friend, Thos. W. Diinmock, a truck gardener ab ovo. 1 was out to see him a few days ago, and he showed me his well-kept gar den, from which he had already taken two heavy crops of vegetables—one succeeding the other. Mr. Dinwnock is an Englishman, having been born about 12 miles from London. His fath er before him was a market gardener, which calling young Dimmock followed for a short time. Something over fifty years ago he came to America with his family. He has been a resident of Car rollton for a number of years, and has the best-arranged grounds and out houses about town. His potato house is a unique device. The walls are packed with sawdust, with ventilators. In winter, when the weather is bad, he keeps a lamp in it to preserve an even I’m going to sell them.

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 moved up dose to him, trying to find ou t 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. FOR SALE. New 5-rocnv cottage. Second, avertue;: price $1,500. 7-room hearse, Second avenue; rents- far $10.
