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 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 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.

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.

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.

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 American fencing and see how stands in competition with fences are built with great deal of hard and at greater expense.
