TREASURER PARK’S LAW CASE.
Jadge John 8. Candler, of the Supe
rior Court of Fallon county, hoe de
rided State Treasurer Park’s' now fa
mous question of constitutional law for
him, and the decision is directly in line
with the opinion given by Attorney
General Terrell when the question was
referred to him. We publish Jadge
Candler's derision in fall elsewhere in
today’s Herald.
The pnblio is familiar with the origin
and foots of tho oose. Treasurer Park
discovered, or thought he disoovered, a
olanse in tho constitution whioh pro
hibited him from using the money in
the treasury arising from the sale of
pnblio proporty, Including $200,000 from
the Northeastern railroad, for the pur
pose of paying warrants that had been
dnly drawn and audited for the salaries
of tho pnblio sohool teachers.
Very properly, the Treasurer wont to
the Attorney General for advice, bnt
the opiuion given by tbo state's legal
advisor did not satisfy him, so Treasurer
Park songht other counsel and found a
number of prominent lnwyora whose
opinion agreed with bis own.
And then lie refnsod to pay the war
rants.
Mandamus proceedings were bronght
in the Governor’s name by the Attorney
General, and now JndgO Candler bos
ordered the Treasurer to pay the war
rauts. Judge Candler's coart is not tho
oourt of Inst resort, howover, and if
Troasnror Park does not reconsider an
anuoniioomont which ho mado when the
question was first sprung, he will now
appeal to the Snpromo Oonrt.
Wo may oxpeot that the prido of
opinion whloh Troasnror Park has do-
voloped will be aggravated, rather than
appousod, by the Information Imparted
br Jadgo Candler that the troasnror Is
only a ministerial oflloer and that ho
"should not bo hoard to ralso a consti
tntionul question to delay or defeat the
payment ot snoh warrants." As our
State Treasurer doesn’t appear to be ono
of the yielding sort, it will probably be
some time yet beforo tho sohool teaohers
get their money.
An lllaetration of the predisposition
of the aggressive upholders of the Mon
roe doctrine to disoover more’s nests has
boon furnished by the report that Ger
many contemplates taking possession of
the. Venezuelan Island of Margarita for
a naval station. Information has, in
deed, boen reoelved at the Navy De
partment of the completion of snrveys
in tho wators adjaoent to the island by
the German praotloe ship Veneta; bat
the war ships of nearly all governments,
lnoluding those of the United States, are
almost constantly engaged In similar
work in all parts of the globe. The
charting of navigable wators is a part ot
the regular ooonpation of naval offloers
in times of peaoe. Tho results obtained
are nsually ezohanged by the various
naval hydrographors In order to
mutually old one another in the correa-
tion ot their several charts, and the
work of the Gormans in the Oarrlboan
hoe no liuister significance whatever.

The derision of the State Treasurer's
oose rendered by Judge Candler on Sat
urday marks the Judge os a very
shrewd man. The evtdenoe of his
shrewdness is disclosed not only in
what he says, but in what he doesn’t
say. He took the shortest ont possible
and derided the oose direotly under con
sideration without tangling himself up
in irrelevant questions of constitutional
and statutory law. The derision may
be a aisappoltment to the formidable
array of lawyore who have volunteered
their weighty opinions on the points of
oonstitntional taw involved, bat it
seems, nevertheless, to cover the oose.

gotten out under difficulties—difficulties
that could bo overcome only by pluok

came out os usual and enoouraged the

ORATORY NEEDED
From tho Outhbert Leader.
At the reoentoratorioal oontest ot the
Georgia Obautanqoa the boys were
clearly outclassed by the girls. The fa-
male contestants, almost without ex-
oeption, were remarkably good. We do
not remember ever to have heard so
many conseontive recitations of equal
merit. Even the two smallest girls,
who were apparently very little over
twelve years of age, were not in the
least amateurish, hut belong to the
prize-winning oloss.
The boys, on the contrary, with a few
exceptions, declaimed with very little
expression and appeared awkward.
Tho two boys who were medal winners
were not more than half the size of
some of the others, and yet (far sur
passed all the rest.
Why this superiority of the girls over
the boys? Tbo explanation is simple.
For years, in our common sohools and
male oolleges, little attention has been
paid to oratory. Big boys don't have to
"speak” every Friday afternoon as they
used to do, and male teachers] have
received no systematic training in ora
tory. Bnt the girls of today are tanght
in eloontlon by those who have been in-
strnoted in that branch in oolleges.
Most every female college of prominenoe
has as an elocution teacher a]]graduate
of Emerson's Sohool of Oratory or some
similar institution.
One of tho medal-winning boys was
traiued by a lady, and we suspeot that
the other one had received female as
sistance. (Rev. Basoom Anthony, of
Savannah, will please make a note of
this).
This, it sooms to ns, shows the need
of a ohair of oratory inljthe -’State Nor
mul Sohool. Those who go there for
instruction ought to reooive training
that will fit them to toaoh everything
needed in a pnblio sohool. The boys of
oar land onght to know how to appear
at ease before an audience, how to ges
ture gracefully, how to artlonlate dis
tinctly and how to emphasize properly.
Indeed, they have more aotnal need for
oratorical instruction than have the
girls, bnt they get mnoh less. The boys
oonld pnt this knowledge into prootical
use In various ways; with the girls—
barring teaohers and professional re
niters—elooutionary attainments serve
only as an oooompllBhment.
It seems to ns that the proper way to
inaugurate a renalssanoe in oratory Is to
have all sohoolteaohen oompotont to
give some Instruction in this art.
The Savannah News says: “The
shortage of ootton seed seems to be wide
spread. It is not so severe in Georgia,
according to the information, as in
Alabama and Mississippi, for the reason
that the damage to the yoang ootton
from odd was not so severe in the
former state ae in the two latter, and
there will not need to be so mnoh re
planting. Lost fall the planters sold all
the seed they made with the excep
tion of one planting, and mast now go
to the oil mills to get seed—if the mills
oau spore them. Alabama planters have
already been sending to Amerioas and
other Qeorgla prints in seoroh of seed;
and they have been accommodated as
for os was possible. The oil mill people
•honld, and no doubt will, do what they
aan towards relieving the situation, and
that wlthont running the priaes of Beed
upon the planters. It might be good
policy for them to let the formers have
the eeed at oost, with only legal interest
and expenses added."
Lord Kitohener reports to the war
offloe that the Boers have blown ap
their laBt Long Tom in order to save it
from capture by British troops at Berg-
plantz, where a commando was vigor
ously ottooked by Geu. Grenfell’s force.
The Long Toms of the Boers have
played a conspicuous part in the South
Afrtoan war, and there is something
saddening in the announcement that
not another one remains intaot. But
perhaps Gen. Kitohener is misinformed,
and we need not be surprised, any day,
to hear that another Loug Tom has been
discovered, and that it talked to the in
vaders in those thunderous tones which
have been heard in a hundred battles in
the Transvaal and Orange Free State.

KILLING THE SCALE.
State,Entomologist W. M. Scott tells
the fruit growers' that the San Jose
scale can be exterminated, though per
sistent, intelligent effort is neoessary to
overcome that most dreaded of oil or
chard pests He has prepared a method
of ; treatment for infected trees, and
guarantees that if properly applied it
will, in all cases, prove effective. The
eolation employed is made of inexpensive
ingredients, and is applied by Bimple
means. > ,
Tbe San Jose scale has threatened
the ruin of the peaoh industry in Geor
gia, and if the state entomologist haB
found a way to destroy this most insidi
ous of pests known to horticulturists he
is entitled to the deep gratitude of the
whole commonwealth. Blight ruined
thousands of oores of pear orchards, and
the scale seemed, a few months ago, to
bo on the point of sapping tbe life from
every peaoh tree in the Btate. Fruit
men will certainly lose nothing by giv
ing the entomologist's plan a fair trial.
President MoKinley is meeting with a
genuine, warm-hearted reception at
every point on the line of his journey to
the Paoifio Slope where the people ore
given an opportunity to greet him. So
far, sines the first day from Washing
ton, hi* route has been through South
ern stole*, and the people have nude
the trip a oontinuoas oration for him.

that which raged in Jacksonville yes
terday and last night is calculated to
Btagger tho affltotod people of that oity,

In aoceding to the demands of the
United States government in the Baiz

South American republios always do

his neighbors of the southern continent.
Occasionally one of the Latin-American
republios, "feeling Its oats” after quell,
ing some petty insurrection, hurls de-
flanoe at Washington and makes all
sorts of dire threats, but a peremptory
demand from the state department,
backed np by a United States worship,
never falls to dissipate tbe war olonds

The Denver PoBt has drawn its ax al
ready on David B. Hill. It says: "It

warm approval of the trusts and com
binations, and it would make Demoo-

Congressman Charley Bartlett, who
has passed through a long and critical
Illness at Washington, is now at his
home in Macon, and his thonsands of
friends throughout the state are re-
jrioed to learn that he is rapidly recov

despaired of, and it was then that his
