About 5 o clock the seems to have aroused considerable inter- croW( j Mrouut i Xo. 4's engine liouse and Harris Leads the Ticket by One Hundred nnd Sixty-Three Votes. Yesterday was the day for determining the three Representatives to the Legisla ture from Bibb, and while there were some where iu the neighborhood of fifteen hun dred votes polled and more or leso “sin- gle shotting,” it ’proved to 1 be a very orderly and quiet election so far as beftrd from. Long before 1he opening of the polls, the hacks, placarded with the naasi of the va rious aspirants, were rolling over town, gathering in the early voters. The polling was not heavy until the merchant passed by the precincts on his way to dinner, and the mechanics given their hour to vote for their choice. m By noon those who had written the win ning tickets on their cuffs and behind the door, so as to see how near they would be right, were in a quandary. When the news came in from an out of town pre cinct that so-and-so was leading, there ejt in the division of the school fund. Stopping Superintendent Zettler yesterday, ^while he was in his buggy, making for din ner, we asked him the question: “What about the charges that the country schools get more than their share of the school fund?” “The charge is not well founded. 8ee the figures. In the country districts the school population is 4.C49, in the city it is 3,413; hut in the matter of money, the board has the court house grew large, and the voting became lively. At G. o'clock these precincts closed,and these candidates felt their greatest uneasiness, because the true state of affairs was bard to get at. The managers adjourned to the ordina ry's office to consolidate the vote. Looking in on the patient clerks as they made the telling strokes against the candidates' names, the anxious group of friends as they pushed forward to catch each vote recorded, and this year appropriated to country schools the candidates themselves craning ttieir $12,000, ana to the city $15.2(0. In other necks over the crowd 13 hear the verdict of words, the country has about five-ninths of the population and gets about four- ninths of tue school fund. Bo you see that the country really gets less than its share of the school fund, if we consider the rela tive school population of city and country, nnd the only way that school funds are apportioned is on the basis of school popu lation.” A SEPARATE SYSTEM. “Bat would it notbebetter,as is claimed for the city to have a separate school sys tem ?*' “For some reasons it would, but not be cause the ccet to individual taxpayers in the city would be less than now. Don't you see that if the county school organiza tion is continued and a city school board . should also be organized, a taxpayer in the city would be taxed twice for schools in stead of once as now. The case would not be the same here as in Atlanta. Columbus, Americus, West Point and Rome. The counties in which these cities are located have no local county school system as in Bibb, Chatham ana Richmond counties. Of course it is greatly to the advantage of the country district of Bibb county that the whole county is taxed for the benefit of the schools and that there Is a wealthy city in the county, on the same principle that a small taxpayer In a city gete just as much direct benefit from electric lights, macada mized streets and brick pavements as the large taxpayer. When it comes, however, to indirect benefits, such as store and bouse renting, the Urge taxpayer has decidedly theadvantsge.” THE REMEDY FOR IT. “What do you consider the remedy for the present dissatisfaction?” “The remedy is more money. We have reduced and curtailed to try to meet the views of narrow and illiberal people until we have caused dissatisfaction among the best patrons of the schools. The salaries are no low that it is with the greatest diffi culty we can secure competent male teach ers for any of the schools, city or country. And then wo have cut down the school term, which affects patrons as well as teachers, and there is much murmuring. The roost effective way of injuring the schools U to make them unsatisfactory to the best people who patronize them. Good public schools cost money; but it is better to have good school* even at a high cost than Inefficient ones at half the price. In 1875 the county appropriated $25,000 for PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES. and the board employed fifty-three teach ers who taught 3,153 children for nine month". This year we get $23,500 from the county, and employ seventy-nine teachers, wno are expected to teach 5000 children for eight and a half months. . “Let me say one word more. I shall probably be blamed by some for giv ing these facts for the newspa pers, but many of the teachers and hun dreds of people in this county think that 1 have everything xuy way in managing the schools and that I could remedy these things if 1 would. 1 serve a board of fif teen men and they in turn serve the peo ple, nnd the remedy is therefore with the people. Let them apply it I” The Ceorgla Colony. We have mentioned several times the colony of Northern people on the land purchased of Col. J. P. Fort, in Houston oooaty, by Col. E. J. Fuller, of Gardner, Mass. As to how it U progressing, we clip the Mowing from the Worcater County (Mai-.) !'■ Mr. i:. J. Fuller informs us that every thing seems to work favorably for the Georgia colony. It is decided to settle in November, and the following parties have taken land for that purpose: E. J. Fuller, W. W. Tandy, Walter 8. Chapin, H. C. Heed, G. F. Kstey, Btepben H. May. Geo. the ballot box, while a stillness, broken only by the voices of the clerks as they pro ceeded with the count, reminded one of a funeral party. At last the votes were consolidated, and the following is the result: Harris Guitin Bartlett Lofton mMVMii 20 25:29 24,2-2! 11.13 142(50 21/22.38 27 .111 97« 586; 1% 66 17 6 49 1«> 4-t 9"* 493| 156,80 15 12 51 :*» 40 877 A Chain-gang Break. On Monday three prisoners tried to es cape from the county chain-gang, now at work on the Forsyth road, and one of them, a white man named Charles Love, succeeded in getlingaway. He made a plan with two negro convicts to break away, but the negroes bungled the job, and failed to get beyond the lines. Lowe ran, followed '>y guards Turner and timith, but be finally tluded them. Yesterday morning Bailiff Hodnett, who is a one-armed man, while passing through Sandy Bottom, discovered Love with a chicken, c wring in the direction of the city. He claimed Love as hh x>riioner, but Love drew his knife, and swore he would not be arrested. The baiMff let drive his only fist, and soon Love was on his back. It was only the work of a second to relieve l<ovc of Lis knife and chicken, and the bai'lff even then knew he had an elephant on his hands. As luck would have it, his partner, Bailifl W. H. Jones, ^ame ut>. and Love was taken to jail, fight ing all the way. Love is a Hardened case. His family connections are among the best, but his fondness for whisky has caused his family a deal of trouble. They have gotten bhu out of innumerable scrapes, but he fails to appreciate anything that is done ior him. Twenty-Second Senatorial Convention. The delegates to the Democratic con ven. tion of the Twenty-second Senatorial dis trict met at Forsyth on the 10th day of September, 1884. Mr. J. J. Clay, of Bibb, was elected chair man and Mr. J. F. Redding, of Pike, sec retary. Mr. O. A. Turner, after thanking the delegation of Bibb and Pike for the cheer ful manner In which they conceded to Monroe the right to name the candidate, put in nomination as the choice of Monroe the Hon. Thomas B. Cabanisa. of Forsyth. Ga., and lie was unanimously nominated by acclamation. On motion, the chairman appointed a committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Louis Van nuclei, of Bibb, W. G. Tyus, of Pike, and B. D. Martin, of Monroe, to noti fy Mr. Cahaniss of his nomination aud to request bis acceptance. Messrs. James H. Campbell, of Bibb J. F. Redding, of Pike, and W. C. Corley, of Monroe, were elected as the executive com mittee of the Twenty-second Senatorial district, for the ensuing two years, and. on motion. Mr. Campbell was made chair man of the committee. The Macon Telegraph and Messenger Atlanta Constitution. Monroe Advertiser, Pike County News and Barneaulle Gazette, were requested to publish the proceedings of the convention. J. J. Clay, Chairman. J. F. Redding, Secretary. The County Tax. The county commissioners held a meet ing yesterday for the purpose of assessing the county tax for the year 1884. Last year the State and county tax together amounted to 1 per cent.; the county tax being 75 cents, and the State tax 25 cents on the hundred dollars. This year, how ever, the State has found it nece«sarv to raise its rate to 30 cents on the hundred dollars. The State and county tax together has for several years past stood at 1 per cent, in Bibb county, and the commis sioners decided that in view of the depress ing financial condition of the county it was a b«d time to raise the tax beyond that limit. Accordingly they fixed the county tax for the present year at 70 cents on the hundred dollars, which, added to the Sta's tax, will make a totriof 1 per cent. With this assessment they will be able to defray current expend and meet all outstanding obligations of the countv. They propose to build the new jail bv the issuance of jail bonds, and In accordance with the law on the subject they will shortly appeal to the people for authority to issue the requisite amount of bonds for that purpose.

While we hare good reason to anticipate one of the most interesting and successful fairs that has ever been held in Georgia, 1 with to say that if so, much of our success will be due to your efficiency and prompt ness in working up your respective depart merits. 1 wish to remind you that It is our desire and determination that no one or more departments, as specified in IU premium list, shall be wanting in interest when the fair opens at Macon; and there is but one wav to prevent it, and thst it for each head of a department to male* Hi department a specialty, and to organize and work up every possible and available meant, so as to secure inch a result. We have a very fic e prospect now for ju»t such a fair as Georgians will be proud of. and that will insure largely fo the benefit, either directly or remotely, of every citizen of-our State. The press, merchants, rain road men, manufacturers and mechanics, are all moving in our interest, and with such cooperation we cannot fail, if we do our duty, each in bis alloted spnere.
