Clifford Grubbs,
Send your children to school.
Why dont you attend to this
jnp$t important duty? Every
xthild is born jvith an inaliena¬
ble right to an education and
w.e .can'not afford through wil-
full neglect to deny them this
1 their birthright. - Education is
influence find power, and will
place them in positious of hon-
pr fii/d trust,/'
The Philippine Islands are
npw in insurrection, and it
seems that tpey are giving
£5pain ^uite as much trouble as
Cuba is. These islands, like
.ppha, have been subject to
Gpain for centuries.
pike all ot|}or Spanish depen¬
dencies, they have been held for
“revenue only”. Every Indian
jaef \yepn the ages of sixteen
has to pay a tribute tax of
^1.17 to Spain. If the trade
regulations etc.iias accidental¬
ly lfi-t any stray mony to the
Inhabitants, this special tax
gathers it into the coffers of
Spain. ;
Spain has perhaps made
pue blunder jn the government
pf these islands which will de¬
prive her pf their possessions,
-She hag requirede^pry district
fo have a school. Education is
ijot conducive.to tame submis¬
to a master.
As long as Spain holds to the
jrjeathat a government exists
gimply and solely for the bene¬
fit of those who govern, she
pught (4) carefully suppress ed¬
ucation* TThe more ignorant
j,he gov€3tn< 4, ar e the better
pucfl ft government will succeed.

this part of the cquntry as it
was, wittyouj; a railroad, sparse¬
ly inhabited, with flje finest
Virgin land in Georgia. Th e
wants of the people were few
and ea?i}y met. Their $ty}e apd
manner of liying was primitive.
Clever people they were in
their way. But no.w we enjoy
the adyaptages of modern en¬
lightenment, development and
facilities. Our nearest neighbors
are strangers to us, being of the
number seeking a home in the
beautiful South land. We exm
tend to a cordial wclqome,
We can truthfully say the in¬
ducements of this section
country, are inferior to none,
but in many regpepts superior
to any of which w.e have any
knowledge.
On accourt of some of the
subscribers to Thk News being
in arrears, my predecessor, M.
X. Tinley, saw fit to drop (hem
from the mailing list, a ..few
weeks since.
Now we propose to send you
the paper regularly from date,
as we believe you were surely
oppressed by a combination of
circumstances, so as to make it
impossible to pay for it. It
will go to you with best wishes
We will meet you in .summer
months, also every man in Ir¬
win county, and if you ar6 a-
ble to pay for tho arrearage,
we will expect y ou to do so.
Takpthe paper, peruse its
columns, compare it wj{,h any
other weeklies, and see for
yourself if our paper is not ‘as
well worth your dollar as any
other, Also remember it is
your county paper, giving you
the happennings at home and
t.he news from abroad.
We have fakeujeharge of The
News fully determined to make
it the leading paper in south Ga.
When in town remembar the
latch string to eur sanctum is on
the outside—pull and eqter
therein. We bid you welcome.
Help us then and we- will with
our best efforts endeavor to
send out a paper old Jrwin will
be proud of. We trust one and
all will show an appreciation of
our efforts, in a practical way,
by a very liberal patronage,

FOR STARTING THE FIRE. •
Tko Use to Which the Fisherman Pats Ella
Discarded Nets.
In the majority of households on old
newspaper is tho material most com¬
monly nr,p;i to start a fire, and tho ad¬
justment of this material is a matter of.
considerable iyt. There should be enough
cf it to make it flam'd sufficient to ignite
tbe wood laid upon it, and it should be
put in with just the right degree of
looseness so that the air "will circulate
through it (iUtl make it burn freely and
to the- best advantage. But there are ■
houses in which paper is never used fot
this purpose-—the homes of fishermen.
Here, year in <>iul year out, day after
day, the fire is ‘started; with a chunk of
discarded tarred netting, and there is.
nothing like it
When a net §6ts tender, sa that it is
likely to burst- when a ' body of kelp or
seaweed floats against it in a tide way,
or-.to break with:a big catch of fish, it
is condemned. It may be whole and
look all right, nut it doesn’t pay to tako
any risks with it Some fishermen using
a considerable'-number erf liets may have
half a ton of such netting in a year.
They fiso it to start -fives, and give away
some of it Formerly t hoy sold it for
junk, !ind they do so cow occasionally,
though not so 'much ns they did. It
brings p cent.-a-pcusid.
This netting has boost tarred again
and again with ‘fine, thin tur- ami it i*
thoronglilj- saturated. -’.The nefeinay'bo

that purpose, if at all, only on roads
running through or near fishing dis¬

own fire, and the man who has more
than ho wants gives to his neighbor.—•

■ A Co^ti^r slpk©.
A Berlin correspondent tello as true
a story about a joke that resulted some¬
what seriously fot thb men vyho invent¬
ed. it This ipersoit was incredulous :
about tho diiwrimii'.ating iippreeiation
of wines, vvhiofi a distinguished friend
pf' his claimed' to possess, and to test
the matter invited him to dir.e at a ho¬
tel whose landlord had previously been
instructed to set before the connoisseur
a bottle ci exccllBiif moselle. It was tu
bear no label or other marks to distin¬
guish .it from.“yin ordinaire, ” aud if
questioned tho landlord was to sa-y thal
it cost only a small price. Tho invita¬
tion- was accepted, and the plot w»
carried out. The guest, hpd hardly taken
a (jingle S >P from his glass, however, be¬
fore he proved tho injustice of his host’j
suspicion by exclaiming over the merit
of the wine. He summoned the land¬
lord, and on hearing that its price was
8 marks instantly ordered 1,000 bottles
of the same vintage. The order was
filled, and .the.host, rather than reveal
the failure of his alleged trick, paid the differ¬
ence between the and real prioe,
Which amounted to something over
4,000 marka.
