TURIN.
Tho action of tho County Boar<l of
Education in consolidating tho Turin,
Blmrpsburg, Pondviow and Bailey schools
caused n good doal of surprise in this
part of the county. No public notice
was given the patrons of these schools
that such action was to be taken, so far
us we know; hence the surprise. An
other cause of surprise was that the
erection of n $15,000 building should be
undertaken during a period of financial
stringency such as now prevails. KSneli
of the schools named is provided with a
comfortable building, ami they are con
veniently located. The location of the
consolidated school is not convenient to
all parts of the proposed new district,
and is unsuitable as a school site. The
scheme to float bonds for building pur
poses is likewise objectionable. Much a
boud issue would be a tax upon all class
es of taxpayers, white and colored, yet.
no provision is made for u consolidated
school for the negroes, Mixed schools
arc' not allowed under tin* laws of Geor
gia, and it would be wrung to tnx negro
property-owners to build u school-house
for tho use of the whites exclusively.
Wo would like to know, therefore, what
action the board took relative to the throe
negro schools in the. new district. Ac
cording to the policy of the board they
should lie consolidated also. Under the
compulsory attendance law all children
of school age, colored as well as white,
must be enrolled as pupils of some school.
The law, makes no discrimination; chil
dren of both races must be given equal
advantages. We fail to set! how the
Bailey and Pondviow communities will
be bunoflted lit nil by the consolidation.
They have access now to the schools at
Turin ami Hhnrpsburg, if they do not
for any reason wish to patronize their
local schools, yet they will be taxed to
pay for a school building they do not
need and do not want, not to speak'of the
hardships ^endured by small children in
getting to and from school. in fact,
It occurs to us it. would bo to tho interest
of all that the whole matter bo dropped,

an error. Mrs. C. was Miss Beulah (lay

Regardless of prices, a woman now
must have n working capital of nt least
$20 when she starts out. to buy a liat.
The hat may cost much more than $20,
or it may coBt less, hut just to look nt
them those dnys costs money in some of
the shops. Milliners tire now charging
$2 as a deposit for putting lmts away
in some of tho places, and tlio average
woman must pick out at toast tea models
before she can decide on the one she will
ultimately buy. One woman put depos
its on ton hats ami then went homo to
describe them to her husband. Ho liked
nine of them. That decided her. She
returned to the millinery shop and
bought tho odd one.—New York Sun.
