east It is true that
aw provides a certain course,
and the rules, of the House and
Senate pretend to enforce those
provisions, yet it is proverbial that
they are constantly evaded. The
on’y effect that, we have noted is
tbat the cost of legislation is in
creased. Such legislation as af
fects only certain counties, or spe
cific localities of designated coun
ties could, we believe, be advanta
geously relegated to the authori
ties of such counties for settle
ment, under a common law cover
ing such cases. Or, if this is
thought to be impracticable, it
could certainly be so arranged that
the cost of special local legislation
will be paid by the counties ask
ing for such laws. So far as act
ual government is concerned, all
counties should be operated under
the same law, but if a county de
sires an officer, or a law not com
mon with other counties, that
county should be allowed to de
termine the matter within • its bor
ders, or else bear the expense in
curred in passing a special bill.
We believe the better sentiment
of the state demands the passage
of a general local option bill, and
we know, that such action would
admirably serve the economic in
terests of the state. We believe
in prohibition only when brought
about by a vote of the people. The
enforcement of a law depends upon
the sentiment of the people to
wards it. A law put upon a peo
ple against their will, or without
their consen, will be evaded when
ever opportunity offers. In every
county in the State of Georgia
.where .the sale of whisky has been
prohibited by local option, abun
dant testimony is given concern- .
ing the good results that have fol
lowed. We would gladly know
that every bar-room in Georgia
had been'closed, and we believe
that the time is hot far distant
when such will be the case. -The
temperance advocates in Georgia
are earnest, though not fanatical.
They do not propose to make a po
litical issue of their work, but-
have no objection to making tem
perance men of the politicians.
A state registration law is asked
for by the people in many sec
tions of the state, and the proba
bilities are that such’ a law will be
considered. Properly environed,
it wonld serve as a strong safe
guard to the people in choosing
good and capable men to adminis
ter the governmental'affairs of the
state. 1 .
A due regard for justice and
equality in taxation demands a
change in'the-law governing the
Valuation of property for taxation
in "the various counties of the
State. Our theory is that tax as
sessors, by state authority in each
county, -would effectually serve the
purpose.- With - all all property re
turned for taxation-at its true mar
ket value, the honest: men would
be protected' against the unscrupu
lous, and the rate of-taxation would
be reduced in proportion to the in
crease in the aggregate valuation.
•Beyond this, equalization in taxa
tion would result, and the burden
would be in just proportion to the
possessions of taxpayers.
We deem it useless to urge the
passage of a dog law, yet we be
lieve; that-dogs should be taxed) or
else all protection of law be with
drawn. If dogs are not property,
we see no reason why they should
be held ip higher esteem by law
than mules.
There will be important finan
cial work to be done, and we trust
the best interests of the State will
be wisely and honestly served.
It is probable that the railroad
law will be amended, and we see
no just reasons why the powers of
members of the
speh-seork. '
We will keep our readers posted
concerning the business transact
ed that is of general interest, or of
special interest to our readers.
Endorsement.
Mb. Editor: A very timely
editorial on the subject of “Mod
em Colleges” appeared in your
your paper last week. It vould
have been, timely thirty years
ago, or any day since. S.hamof the
flimsiest sort has characterized
the colleges and other schools all
these years. Faculties, and boards
of trustees, and patrons, and pu
pils, and “lookers on in Yienua,”
all admit that this is true, and
pretend to deplore it. None of
them, however, attempt to do more
than talk in confidential under
tone of the great evil. It is won
derful in the first place that sham
becomes the mode at all, wonder
ful that it is perpetrated, and won
derful that it excites the enthusi
asm of men and women who claim
i to abhor it. Yerily if one should
make an open and vigorous attack
upon it, these very people, many
of them, would stoutly oppose the
interference. It is especially
gratifying to learn that the moth
er of colleges for women,has taken
one good step in the direction of
reform. That her face is turned
the way she steps, justifies the
expectation that she will go for
ward steadily. She will not here
after allow the costly floral ex
pressions of personal and imj erti-
nent favoritism to come upon the
rostrum. Flowers are very beau
tiful, and their silent language is
the true speech of the muses, and
none of us would exclude them
from any place, but it seems inap
propriate to employ these almost
sacred things for the expression
of rank partisanship.
Let us hope that other follies
which work harm, will be relega
ted to the sheol of things that
were, and that the importance of
practical education, as well as the
exceeding foolishness of mere dis
play, will come to be appreciated
by a people who claim to be en
lightened.

A MEEting will be held in Hawk-

purpose of considering the practi
cability of building a railroad
from Dublin to HawMhsville. The
route has been canvassed by com
mittees from Hawkinsyille and
Cochran, and the reports made
will doubtless determine the fu-;
ture action to be taken. The road
would open an excellent scope of
country, and to Hawkinsyille
much benefit would result.
