In Switzerland, the ideal repub¬
lic of the world, the school house
is the most elegant of nil the
buildings in the town—the per¬
fection of mechanical genius with¬
out and of artistic talent within.
The sight of the building is un in
Hjiiration. It is the town’s pride.
Pupils are taught good manners,
good morals, patriotism, love and
respect for the home, for parents,
for all in authority, cleanliness of
person, proper respect for their
fellowman. The love for the true
and the beautiful is inculcated.
Ideals are created. The bcIiooI is
the greatest uplifting force in the
republic. A Swiss statesman vis¬
iting America observed a very high
fence around a farmer’s orchard.
He asked ns to the purpose of the
fence. lie was told that it was to
keep out the boys. “What?” said
he, “have you uo schools in Amer¬
ica?”—Charles J. Parker of North
Carolina.
In the public schools of (lie
United States to-day there are
thirteen million children, who are
imbibing there the ideals of Amer¬
ican government and the spirit, of
American life. The sort of De¬
mocracy that means an even
chance for every one to rise into
greatness becomes tlie corner stone
of their mental equipment. Who
can estimate what results this
great army of American youth,
when in half a generation it be¬
gins to expend its energies in cre¬
ative effort, will produce upon the
present aspect of the world? What
industries will it originate and
develop? What unknown lands
beyond the seas will it discover?
What problems of government it
will solve? What epics of the
race it will write? Surely in the
barefoot boy who trudges to or
away from school, and in his fel¬
lows, lives the hope of the perpet¬
uation of American ideals of hu¬
man liberty.—Savannah Morning
News.

The Boers, living in a country

A Typical South African

a store typical of South Africa,
which can be purchased
from the proverbial “needle to an
anchor.” This store is situated in
a valley nine miles from the near¬
est, railway station and about
twenty-five miles from the
town. Mr. Larson says; “I am
favored with the custom of farm¬
ers w ithin a radius of thirty miles,
to ninny of whom I have supplied
Chamberlain’s remedies. All tes¬
tily to their value in a household
where a doctor’s advice is

A Fit lMiiiialiment.
The New York Suit grows ex¬
ceeding wroth over the declaration
of Mr. Bryan that the men who
“form trusts to rob the people
should bo put into stripes.”
Senator Foraker has also been
grievously offended by this
mark and retorts that they who
propose such a thing should
made to wear stripes themselves.
Now, what is there wrong
Mr. Bryan’s advocacy of
for “those who form trusts to rob
the people?” He simply
to enforce the law.
The Sherman act provides
actly the punishment that Mr
Bryan would like to soo
where the evidence is sufficient.
would be well for the country
those in authority had
like Mr. Bryan’s view of the
er method of applying the
trust law.
Ex-Senator Edmunds said a few
ago that the main reason
tlie trusts are not checked lies
not in defects of the laws against
but in the fact that the ex¬
and judicial officers of the
are deficient either in
the ability or the will to enforce
those laws.
The remark that has brought
down upon Mr. Bryan the condem¬
nation of the New York Sun, Sen¬
ator Foraker and other apologists
of the trusts is one of the
things we have ever Been from

Seaboard to Erect lJepot in
Atlanta.
The Seaboard Air Line railroad
lias purchased property in Atlan¬
ta for both a passenger and freight
depot and will build its own ter¬
minal station.
The Seaboard inis also acquired
a right of way into the city anti
will build its own tracks which
will enable it to discontinue using
the tracks of the Western and At¬
lantic road.
The East and West road, which
runs from Cartersviile to Pell
City, Ala., has been purchased and
the engineers of the road are now
engaged in making surveys for an
extension of the line front Pell
City to liirmipgham.
These arc the developments in
the situation affecting the rail¬
roads in this section of the coun¬
try and they will be learned with
interest by those who are concern¬
ed iti the operations of the roads.
This will give tlie Seaboard an
independent line from the north¬
ern points now reached by it to
Birmingham, where connections
will be made with all points in the
west and southwest.
It will also give Atlanta a new
lino to Birmingham and will open
up a new section to the city.
The Seaboard, as is well known,
is not a part of the system that
lias been operating in this section
of the country. It has never gone
into the merger and is an inde¬
pendent line to the north from
Atlanta.
Tito fact that it lias purchased
the East and West road is not en
tirely new, as it was supposed to
have acquired that property some
time ago, although it is now stat¬
ed for the first time what the Sea¬
board will do with its new posses¬
The fact that a new depot is to
be built in Atlanta by the Sen
board will lie received with satis¬
faction by those who have been
watching the progress of that road.
“The depot site of the Si aboard
adjoins that recently acquired by
the Southern in the western por¬
tion of the city. The road has se¬
cured options upon sufficient prop¬
erty to erect tit a passenger and
freight depot and it is the under¬
standing tli..i ihe road intends
building both.
As is well k-i.iwfl engineers have
recently ma-1 urveys for a right

cle I bid Tl»e Independent, itnrf its
readers, adieu. Before quitting the
field, I will say if in any of my art icier,
l have given offence to any, Ma li was
not intended. I have muixIiI to'-tate
facts, and nothing more. I am (as
generally known) a Populist, and it
taat little thing you had in bumpkin

don’t- belong to that. Now M r. Kill lor,

crats in tiie county, declare there was
not over 25 l’opotisis in tin- county. I
know some of those 25 populist voted
for Mr. Harrison, and yet Harrell’*
majority was greater than the strength
we are credited with. You say tha
band wagon has not yet appeared. 11
may have gone over to the Pilistines,
and played its last tune, but there was
a moral obligation somewhere. To
break faith in a civil cause does not
imply, that ail other causes are safe.
I hope every home loving man in tin's
county, will wake up to tlie fact, that
danger lies in wait for us unless we
arise and say to those whiskey advo¬
cates, that the white people of our
county have recently voted against
barrooms, and that we will forever op¬
pose your dispensary. It is a strange
delusion, that, causes a man or a com¬
munity, to think that a dispensary
run for revenue to reduce taxes will
diminish drinking. It is no time for
idleness. The blasphemies of the earth
are louder, ami its miseries heavier
day. When the ballots of ’ the
people in a county have spoken agaiimf

man in the legislature true to his
ple and his God, will vote to
a dispensary anywhere in that
I am sorry our churches are cumbered
with such weights. They ought

thing. "None but the pure in hearf

the pride of life will keep us from see¬

GOOD FENCING CHKA1’.
Ready Built, Woven Wire Fences Are
Winning; Their Way on Merit.
Good, tight, durable fencing can now
be put upon evvry boundary of a farm
or plantation so cheaply that there is
no excuse for broken down fences and
costly neglect that costs more in in¬
jury to growing crops than would pay
for new fencing. The factories are
turning out such immense quantities
of tlie steel wir« fencing known as the
American Field and Hog Fence, that
the price lias become wonderfully low,
considering the fact that the best
semer steel is used aud highest grade
galvanizing. The fencing comes from
tlie factory in rolls of forty rods and
lesv and Die setting of posts is the
chief labor involved in modern fence
building.
The American Fence stands all
kinds of strains, heat and cold,
and hoys. It is the fence that
of real economy, it is sold in all
of the country at the general stores.
Everybody interested in the
problem should put up a section
