Here you have been very badly misled
again as to facts. I cannot give the
exact amount paid separately to
while and colored teachers last year,
as these separate amounts were not
reported to me. 1 can, and will,
make a very close approximation, as
you will see it you will but go with
me Id wbat follows. Savannah and
the county of Chatham, Macon and
the connty of Bibb, Augusta and the
county of Richmond, the city of At
lanta, tho city or Columbus and a
few other smaller cities,, have been
placed under local school laws, and
the people living under these respec
tive organizations are taxing them
selves for the education of all—white
and black. The people outside
would hardly claim the right to in-
terfeiein this mutter. It is to the
tgreat bulk of the Slate outside of

the general school law, that we are

A True Snake story.
While walking through a very
thick cane swamp, said a friend yes
terday, “I saw a sight that curdled
my blood and made every hair on
my head stand on end. There in
three feet of me lay in his coil a rat
tlesnake at least 12 feet long, with 18
rattles. ’ While charmed by tbe snake
and frozen with terror. I uncon
sciously leaned against a dead l'mb
that snapped with my weight, and I
fell face foremost across the deadly
reptile. My first-thoughts were of
the loved ones at home, and the next
to spring to my feet, bnt the rattler
had seized me by coiling bis immense
body around m'nc, and there 1
awaited my doom. After twisting
himself in good position, with my
arms pinioned to my sides, he delib
erately struck with hissharp,poison
ous fangs,three blows into my temple,
bringing a stream of blood at every
stroke.' "I" screamed with ail mv
lung power, and awoke to find that

cushion duriog my nap, and—’’

i Cows will always mike their beds in
the road and on the sidewalk. It is
their nature. Horatio stumbled over
this one, and, ill his struggles, got a
leg on each side, while the cow got
up suddenly anil began to mike time,
bellowing every jump. It was
funny predicament—the cow ridden
by a—calf you might say. Horatio
was afraid to jump off. ne was too
busy holding on to think of that, any
way. He used some tinrunday-
schoolica! words as the cow flew
round among her sister rows and got
them stampeded.
Horatio did not know which way
or where he was going; he never
thought of that till hr saw- a number
of lights, anti beard I In' merry voices
of tlie girls ami boys.
•Great Scott sad General Jack-
son I" thought Horatio. ‘-What in
the name of Moses is all that?”
The bleating ol the cow first at
tracted the attention of tlie party, and
prctlv soon there was a stampede
ainons the girl-, as the cow dashed
in at tlie open gate, while Iter gallant
rider ant on her so gracefully that he
seemed, part of her. 'Ihe girls rail
for the trees, the gate, the boys—any
thing.
Horatio, who hy this time realized
the sitti’ition,and recognized the boys,
shouted at the top ol his voice:
“Head her boys! noshlemity, ding
it all. some of you shoot her, bnt
don't hit tlie—it’s toe boys, Horatio
Hawkins! O, L >rd ! this boast will
run me against a tree and kill
me!"
“Why don’t you fall off?” said
some one.
“Beceanse I'll break my neck,” said
the rider.
Around they went, all over the
grove, the boys and. girls screaming
with laughter by this lime—the girls
from the top of the fence where they
were roosting.
At last tbe cow, becoming exhaust
ed, fell to her knees and Horatio
went over her horns, prono upon his
gaunt stomach. Then the party-
gat hered around and learned the
Tacts, so far as they could from tbe
cow, for Horatio was gone, no one
knew where.
There was so mnch Tim and chaff
ing over the episode that Sally Ann
got her dander up, and dissolved Ibe
meeting. She was mad, because her
pride was hurt.
Horatio left next morning for the
medical college, where he was a
student, tnd never came back nnlil
he was an M. D. Of course, Horatio
and Sally Ann married, and the old
matt gave them the cow, and now the

The dashing little city of Albany
is a Western terminus of our great
entrepot, the S vannah^ Flordia and
Western Railway. It is fifty-eight
miles beyond Thomas7ilie 7 and
abont 250 miles from Jacksonville—a
day’s ride on Ihe cars into Georgia.
Leaving Jacksonville on the 5:45 P.
M. train, and taking a sleeping car
three hours later at Waycrosa, a
leisurely schedule lands one in Al
bany pretty soon after breakfast nezt
morning. If a traveler is not too
much in love with bis comfortable
berth, he may get A capital break
fast at Tboma8tille from the elegant
Mitchell House—the best kept ho
tel in Georgia by all odds. Albany
is our neighbor, bound to U9 with
ties ofsteel. Much of the current
ofonr trade and travel throbs in
and out throngh the same great iron
artery. It is interring to us, there
fore, to keep up with her progress
and advancement, and to Tppro-
priate whatever lessons of improve
ment her energies may have
wrought out for tbe emulation of
her neighbors.
It is easily within the memory of
lhe writer when Albany was little
better than a nest of malaria and
disease. With stagnant ponds oc
cupying whole acres of her munici
pal area, with defective drainage,
impure air and execrable water, the
city was almost uiiiuhabitahle in tin-
summer time, and the early part of
that season usually witnessed an
exodus of citizens to more favored
localities, it is fair to speak ot these
ugly tacts now, since the state of af
fairs has been so handsomely and
graciously metamorphosed by muni
cipal energy and public spirit, and
by an inspiration little short ot
providential, although its direction
was not heavenward.
The Albany of to-day is a thriity
and enterprising city of five thous
and people. It Las pt onounced aud
well founded claims, and a decided
ambition to be a sanitarium. There
ts not a pool of stagnant wa'er i t the
limits of the city. Every pond has
been perfectly drained. The sewer
age and drainage of the city is ex
ceptionality good aud the air accord
ingly better. Bnt tbe crowning
glory and the pride of Albany ia
her artesian wells, furnishing daily
to her people, in lavish flow, thous
ands of gallons of water as pure,
as fresh, as healthful as any that
ever trirkled from a mountain
spring. These artesian wells are
worthy a separate paragraph.
Not more than three years ago Mr.
John P. Fort, a thoughtful and
benevolent planter of Dougherty
county (of which Albany is the
county seat), conceived the
plan -* of furnishing Sonthwest
Georgia with pure anil health
ful water by means of artesian
wells. With unexampled patience
and energy he went to work upon his
plantation, and after many difficul.
ties, discouragements and skeptical
comments from bis neighbors, he
found at tlie depth of 800 feet a
•itreanf of clear water that shot joy
ously up ab >vc the surface, reaiiz ng
all and more than he had hoped or
desired. The achievement of Mr.
Port was chronicled glowingly in all
the Georgia papers, and the Sonth
west went wild over the healthful
probabilities that it opened-up. Al
bany, already feeling the good effect
of her vigorous sanitary improve
ments, went to work with character
istic energy, and was the first city to
utilize the discovery aud present its
people with an artesian well. Tbe
city council, without a moment’s hesi
tation, appropriated the necessary
funds, ;and in a short space of time the
magnificent wa-er of the Bine Ridge
Monntaios was splashing pleasantly
aud beautifully against the sides of a
handsome drinking fountain in the
heart of the happy city. Its benefits
and enjoyments were so marked that
the comity (Dongligrty) put an arte
sian well int i the court-yard, and
bold stream, as large 'as your wrist,
rushed out in cheerful response to the
great drill that bored its way into the
earth. The Uentral and Southwest
ern railroad next caught the conta
gion, and the strongest and mo-t
powerful stream yet found furnishes
the railroad _ and its employes, and
the hackmen and cartmen aud their
horses and cattle, an abundant supply
if the wonderful water. There are
now seven additional wells projected,
some in course of completion, and it
; s safe to say that "by October, Albany
will rejoice in ten artesian wells,and
announce herself ready 10 supply the
world. The three wells are all the
way from 650 to 750 feet deep, and
cost from $900 <0 $1,500 each. A
clear check lor $10,000,000 could not
buy the smallest, ir Albany could not
replace it!
The theory of artesian wells is, ol
course, well known. Streams of
water running under ground in high
and mountain regions flow down
ward and seaward, between strata
of clay, etc, and when tapped by
pipes at any depth, mount by a law
of physics to the level of their
-ource. Georgia scientists hold that
Albany wells are supplied’ from
streams that have their origin in the
mountains of Georgia and Tennessee.
At any rate, the water is unusually
clear and pure, and in each ot the
springs has been found to possess
medicinal properties of a high order
The first spring is most marked in its
medicinal and mineral qualities. 1
have' no doubt but that it is the
finest kidney water in the South, al
though tlie Albany people claim that
its special merits are evidenced' in
dyspepsia and defective digestion.
At any rate, the water is becoming
famous as a mineral water. It is
shipped all over the country, and is
on sale at five ceuts a glass at Savan
nah, Angusta aud Atlanta. The
hotels are full of strangers, who
come to seek its healiug. The Al
bany people believe in it supremely.
They have no fear of plague, or
pestilence, or epidemic, so long as
their artesian currents flow. The
average Albany man thinks of this
water and talks of it half.the day,
dreams of it at night, and gets on
the exterior of about three gallons
from sun to son. They gather ronnd
it in the evenings caressingly, and
drink it delightedly, and the last
thing they do at niglit is to go out
and see if the water is still running,
and then retire complacently upon a
“night-cap” of the blessed beverage.
And all this enthusiasm is not
without reason. Artesian wells are
destined to revolutionize tlie health
statistics of Southern latitudes.
Health in all chraales is the absolute
beneficiary of pnre water and nutri
tions food. The accomplished house
wives of the South have simplified
the last essential, and now that the
industry and enterprise of our peo
ple have sunken shafts into the earth
and brought to tlie surface clear,
cold and sparkling mineral water
from the mountains we have the
two great requisites (o the preserva-
to rival Thomasville and even Jack
sonville as a health resort. To this
end she is building a splendid new
hotel, which will.be under control of
Mr. T. II. Barnes, of the Barnes
House, and will accommodate 250 (
guesta. Extensive artesian baths are i
being bniit, and a movement iR on
foot to manufacture the artesian
water into ice, which will be very
popular all over the country. Al
bany is on a genuine boom, and her
energy and public spirit deserves
every good fortune which we
hope will come to her.
Among the forces which contribute
to her prosperity and growth none
are more potent and effective than
tho daily News and Advertiser,
which, under the vigorous manage
ment of Messrs. McIntosh A Co., is
doing gallant service in that direc
tion. These gentlemen are as cour
teous and attractive as they are en
ergetic and enterprising.
Our visit to Albany was rendered
pleasant by the gracious hospi ality
of CapL John T. Hester, and his
er home in Albany.
In a future letter, or editorial, I
shall treat of Thomasville, and point
the moral to ns of these artesian
wells. We most have them in Jack

ithlnz for Mothers to Re
Poisoning Their Inlante.
A coroner’s Jury was impaneled in
Brooklyn yesterday to inquire into the
death of Mrs. McCauley's infant, who
tiled on Monday from an overdose of
soothing syrup. The jury found that
Bernard McCauley had died from an
overdose of patent medicine containing
opium, and added the following:
“We recommend that the passage of
a law by the Legislature to prohibition
iudiscri ml tuning sale of medicine con
taining narcotics, especially opium, and
we warn mothers against using medi
cines without the advice of a physi
cian."
In speaking of the enormous trade
done in the manufacture of soothing
syrups a gentleman who is connected
with one of the largest patent medicine
houses in the city said to a Journalier
yesterday: .
“There is a line of these goods which
has an enormous demand, and where
the proprietors sell at least 50 gross of
bottles per day. I suppose the firm
would not sell out its interest for $1,000-
000 in cash, and I doubt very much
whether they would take $1,250,000.”
“Do you make any soothing syrups
yourselves.”
“No. We merely act as agents. We
neither guarantee nor make promisesof
any kind. If the firm to which I refer
chore to make their compound exclu
sively of water, gum aud sugar, I have
no doubt that the demand would still
lie larger.”
Dr. G. de P. Smith, of No. 43 East
Thirty-llfth street, was asked his opin
ion of the medicine.
“My opinion is that it is decidedly
harmful and even dangerous. I do not
speak merely from reports, but from
experiehce. About a year ago I was
•“ailed in to attend the baby of a patient
of mine. The child was 6 months old.
It had been given soothing syrup to
such an extent that it died. The facts
were so obvioUB to me that I thought it
to be my duty to/xtmmunicate with the
coroner and suggested an inquest. The
inquiry washeld,but nothing came of it.
“How many teaspoonfuls are there
in a fluid ounce?” asked the reporter.
“Eight.”
“So that a baby would take of this
syrup one-eighth of a grain of mor
phine at each dose?”
“Yes.”
“And what is the average dore of
morphine for an adult?”
“Exactly the same quantity. The
great evil connected with there syrups
is that they are so easily purchasable at
every drug store, ignorant mothers
instead of consulting a doetor when
their children are sick, rush at once to
the syrup bottle, and administer it in
discriminately.”
“Are patent medicines required by
law to have the formula placed on the
wrapper?”
“No. It would be a good thing if it
were so.”
A gentleman connected with a well-
known medical monthly was seen at
No. 65 Lafayette place in relation to
the subject.
“It is the taste of the fennel that
makes it difficult to detect tbe presence
of the morphia,” observed the report
er’s authority. “I have not the slight
est doubt that the amount of indiscrim
inate consumption is enormous. In
fact, I have had reason to believe that
my own housemaid had.giveu it to my
infant to put it to sleep, so that she
might get away for an hour. This is
quite a common trick among servants.
