Hugh Horsey lias declined to en ter the race for the Governorship. Pub lic announcement to thin effect was made by Mr. Horsey last .Sunday, and, needless to say, his decision caused keen disappointment to his thousands of friends anil admirers throughout the State. The Herald and Advertiser has never wavered in the belief that he could have been elected over all com petitors, and shares with other friends and supporters of the brilliant young Georgian its sincere regret that he did not enter the lists. However, there are many years of useful service ahead of him, and, while we feel sure it cost him some effort to put aside the allur ing opportunity held out to him, it may prove to his advantage in the long run. Let us hope that it will. We have had another disappointment in the refusal of Hon. Jos. K. Dunson, of LaGrangc, to allow his friends to put him forward us a candidate for the Governorship. Mr. Dunson is a strong man, and would have carried this sec tion of the State easily. Moreover, he would have made a model Governor, in all that makes for good government and n sound business administration. We predict that lie will yet he heard from in some future campaign, and be come a force to be reckoned with in State politics. In a card published in his homo pa pers to-day Mr. Dunson gives the fol lowing reasons for declining to make the race for Governor - ‘‘The office of Governor is, to my mind, the highest honor that can be be stowed upon any citizen, hut is one to which I never aspired, for the reason that up to three weeks ago it had not occurred to me that my friends would think of my name in connection with tiie office. “I will not run for the position at this time, as the duties now engaging my attention are of such a character that they cannot he suddenly put aside without inconvenience, and possibly loss to others. Besides, if I was in position to muke the race I feel that the time between new and tlio primary is too short in which to make such a thorough personal canvas of the State as 1 would desire. “Neither my present connections nor privuto interests, however, would de ter me for a moment if I felt thnt any duty to the public, or obligations to my friends, called for service on my part. "1 appreciate to the full extent the kindly comment the suggestion of my name has caused, and the interest man ifested by my friends in different parts of the State, and am especially grate ful to my home people, and those of this immediate section, for their gen erous evidences of regard and esteem. "Whether I run for office in future or not, 1 trust in any event to bo of real servite to my section and my State, that I may in some measure justify the confidence of my friends so gruciously ex pressed. ’ ’ TIIE TAX EQUALISATION LAW. Two bills have been introduced in the House to repeal the tux equalization law, but the indications are that the ef fort to nullify the Act will be stubborn ly resisted. Even if the repeal meas ure should pass the House, there is not much likelihood that it wdl get through the Senate. Opponents of repeal will be greatly strengthened in their posi tion by the splendid results already achieved through the operations of the law, as ascertained from reports al ready received by the Stale Tux Com missioner from a number of counties. If present estimates of the probable increase in the volume of taxable prop erty should be verified a reduction of the State tax-rate from live to four mills is practically certain, and that this will be followed by a corresponding de crease in the county tax-rate is virtual ly assured also. This being the case, while the taxpayer will pay on a higher valuation of his property, ho will in fact he paying less money in taxes than he paid under the old system. By the end of another year, when the State shall have liquidated the larger part of its boating debt, wo shall not be surprised if the State tax-rate is reduced to three mills. A significant and vary gratifying re sult of the operations of the law up to this time is that much the larger part of the total increase reported comes from a class of property that has here tofore escaped taxation. It may be that tho law is defective in some of its provisions we are in clined to think that it is but doubtless these defects will lie remedied at the present session of the Legislature. During the first ton months of the fiscal year 1914 (ending June 30) immi grants from foreign countries arrived at American ports at the rate of more than 2,900 every week, and the indica tions are that the total number of arri vals will exceed those for any previous year in the history of the country.

To the Hoard of Education, Newnan, Ga.--Gentlemen: 1 have the honor to submit this, my report of the public schools of Newnan for the year 1913- 1914. This is my third annual report, and the twenty-sixth in the history ot the schools. In presenting this report I beg leave to express my gratification at the spirit of co-operation, zeal and interest which characterizes the various parts of our school system. The teachers have been faithful and conscientious in the per formance of their duties; the pupils have been regular in attendance and at tention to their school work; and the patrons of the school have shown much co-operation in furthering the plans of the school authorities.

The moHt noticeable gain is in the high school, 28 more pupils being enrolled this year than last. In my report last year I congratula ted the Board of Education on deciding to add the eleventh grade, and now I am glad to state that the Newnan high school has not only been classed A-l in the list of schools accredited by tho Georgia colleges, but. has also been placed on the list of Southern accredi ted schools, which means that a grad uate of the Newnan high school re ceives full credit, not only at the Geor gia colleges, but at any college in the South, for the work done in the New nan schools. it is with pleasure that I callyourat- tention to the growth of the high school, and am especially pleased to state that the boys comprise 16 per cent, of the total enrollment.

They have conscientiously sought to render efficient service, and | their efforts have been rewarded with much success. Ever ready to respond to a suggestion, ever willing to help where help was needed, they are grad ually bringing your schools up to a high plane of efficiency, and are de serving of your most hearty support. Whatever of success lias come to us during the past year has com" through the efforts of our teachers. To them I feel most profoundly grateful. In conclusion, I wish to express to the piesident and members of the Board of Education, individunlly and collectively, my sincere appreciation for the support they have given my administration during the past year.

A Shooting Affray. Senoia EnterpriBe-Gazette, 25th inr.t. A seriouB shooting affray was nar- nowly averted Sunday near the home of Mr. J. Albert Kempson, a few miles from town. Mr. Kempson had had some trouble with three Redwine negro boys about stealing from his smoke-house. He was on the bonds of two of the negroes for previous trouble they were in, and a few days ago turned them over to the Sheriff. Some one stood their bonds and last Saturday they returned home, and, according to report, said they were going to kill Mr. Kempson. When Mr. Kempson returned home at night they were seen hiding around his wood- pile, so he telephoned for help, knowing they were of bad character. Several parties went out with the officers, but the negroes had lied. Sunday morning one of the boys, Virge, was found by Kempson and he started to town with him to turn him over to the officers. He had come but a short distance, however, before two more of the hoys, Walter and Luther, shot, at Mr. Kempson, some of the shot striking him in the breast, hut the shot were small and did not enter the body. Mr. Kempson returned the fire with buckshot, striking one of the negroes in the arm and one in the thigh. Nei ther of them seemed to be hurt very badly, however, as all three made their escape. Parties hunted for them all day Sunday, but without success. Early Monday morning Walter and Luther were arrested two mileH west of New nan by Sheriff Brewster and Deputy Sheriff Jackson and lodged in jail. A little later the other one, Virge, was ar rested this side of Newnan. In capturing Virge he was shot in the stomach. The Redwine boys are of had charac ter and have been in a great many dif ficulties, Mr. Kempson often helping them out by going on bunds or paying fines, but when he grew tired of it they became his enemy and threatened ven geance. It was a pretty bad affair, and looked Sunday like it might cause serious trouble. Later —Virge Redwine, the one captured last and who was shot in resisting arrest, died Wednesday morn ing and was brought to Senoia on the evening train.

The opening ball for season of 1914 at Borden-Wheeler will be given on the evening of July 4. The new duncesare proving exceeding ly popular with the guests at the hotel and drawing splendid crowds from the nearby towns, as well as from Atlanta and Birmingham. Mr. L. E. Berger, of Tampa, Fla., has been engaged for the season to give exhibition dances every evening, and to teach the latest steps each morning to those who desire to learn.

There will be two seventh grades at the At kinson school, and departmental work will bo done in these grades, as far as seems practicable, thus breuking the big step between the last year of the grammar and the first year of tho high school. Thus every room in the schools, including the new room built last year, will be in use next year. From present indications there will be at least one, and probably two more teachers, needed the following year, which would necessitate a new high school building, to be ready for oecu- pancy in September, 1915. From time to time 1 have culled your attention to the udvisability of adding domestic science as a part of the high school course. This cannot he done until there is a new building. Let me urge you to make provision for this de partment, having special rooms ready in the new building by tho fall of 1915. IMPROVEMENTS. Great material advancement lias been made in the schools during the past twelve months. The grounds at Temple avenue building, which were thoroughly terraced and graded during the summer of 1912, have been still j further improved. A new room, well lighted and modern in every respect, \ has been added to the annex at Temple uvenue. and the whole building is now heated by hot air. New single desks , have been bought for the first and second grades at Temple avenue, and an additional high school room has been furnished with single desks. Additional | apparatus has been purchased for the l science department. Drinking foun tains have been placed on the grounds at all the buildings for white children. Victrolas have been procured, one for each building. These machines were purchased with voluntary subscriptions from the pupils. A thorough course in physical training Iihs been introduced, and pupils of grades 1 to 7, inclusive, take exercise by music out in the open air. Additional pictures have been added, and the interior of most of the rooms is now very attractive. These improvements have already had a great influence on the attitude oi' children to wards school and school work. The Civic League lias been helpful along ull lines that pertained to beauti fying schools and grounds, and ever willing to lend its energies towards making the schools more efficient. To the riiembers of this organization I wish to express my appreciation for the substantial aid given last year.
