As all men understand that knowl edge is the chief element of power, so it is recognized that education is the specific source of knowledge. To a greater extent than ever be fore, the cause of education is re ceiving a fuller share of attention from those who desire progress along the line of material thought and action. 'That development is being made is parent to - all who ob serve closely, but none are satisfied that the systems of theory and prac tice are jn full aocord with the needs of the times. As no man has ever attained the perfection of knowledge,so no school has Over fully met the requirements of its pupils and patrons. As the foundation of progress in all avenues of business and Bocial life, the “common” schools of the country deserve the greatest atten tion and most earnest co-operation of all our people, from those who are in official place to the humblest citizen in the community..

The Standard says more iron ore i£s mined and shipped from Cedar- town, Ga., than from any other point in the south except Birming ham, Ala.

He refused the assistance he could have given when it was most need ed in 1900. Certainly this year the farmers of Georgia will have an object lesson to the effect that there is no profit in raising cotton to buy corn, meat .and other farm supplies. Cleveland is an able man in state- <rfaft,but his polioy is “rule or ruin.” His faithfulness will be best demon strated in the ranks of the advisers and' workers for democracy. The annual convention of the Georgia Weekly Press Association vHli be in session at Quitniau on the 15th and 16th of July From there the editors will go to Tybee for an omting of several days.' A county fair at Vienna is called for by the papers of that city. Cer tainly the agricultural interests are benefitted by county fairs, and those counties make most notioeable prog ress in production wherein suoh fairs are held annually. . —?—.—. , The editors elected to the next .legislature will have an opportunity to illustrate the fact that men can do as they advise others to do. A great opportunity will be before them during the next session of the legislature, and we believe they will be equal to the occasion. in the service undertaken. Under the systems, general and special, under which the schools and colleges in Georg; a are conducted, there 1 must be thorough co-opera tion, else the best results cannot be attained. Each school must be in aooord with the Jaws of the state, the. teachers under authority of a board of education, or trustees, the pupils submissive to the will of the teachers, the patrons in active sym pathy with all. Between teacher and the governing board there should be a thorough understanding, and a strict observance of the obligations each has assumed. The teaeher should know exactly the service ex pected, and the board should know that, suoh service is faithfully per formed. If in any ease the teacher should fail in the performance of duty, prompt attention to that fail ure should be direoted, kindly but firmly. If any patron feels that Ins ehild has not been accorded ful) jus tice in any particular, report should at once be made to the proper an thorijiy, and by that authority tiie teacher required to correct the er ror, or show that the complaint was not well founded. Without thor ough co-operation between patrohs, teachers and the board of control, no Bohool oan be made to satisfacto rily serve tjjje purpose of its estab lishment. Errors of teachers cannot continue if patrons and managers faithfully perform their duty; if these are not faithful, then the blame for the lapk of success eanfiot be placed entirely upon, the teaoher. Perhaps every school in the state, not excepting the Perry Public School, has suffered from, the dere lictions above outlined, but there is no reason why careful attention to duty should not prevent their recur rence hereafter. Col. Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal is vehe mently opposed to the proposition to make Grover Cleveland the next presidential nominee ot the demo cratic party. At a banquet given in New York last Thursday by the Samuel J. Tildetr club, ex-President Cleveland and ex-Senaljor D. B. Hill were the chief speakers. Each gave excellent advice to democrats, and between the lines it can be. easily seen that each thihks himself entire ly worthy and , thoroughly qualified to lead the democratic party to vic tory in 1904. We are not partisan in our prefer- •ence for the speakership of the next mouse of representatives, but would suggest that Hon. Walter E. Steed of Taylor county is worthy and well qualified, and his record in house and senate entitles him to the fa vorable consideration of his fellow legislators. A bulletin on poultry raising on the farm has recently, been issued by the Central of Georgia Railway. Co.

Fort Valley Leader, Mr. James W. Morgan and Miss Gertrude Anderson were joined to gether in the holy bonds of matri mony, by Rev. Geo'. B. Culpepper, at the home of the bride on Ander son Ave., ip this city, at 6 o’clock Wednesday morning, 18th ,inst., and left on the 6.40 train for Macon, where the happy youtig couple will make their home. The wedding was a quiet home affair, only a few friends outside of the family being present. Mr. Morgan holds a good position with fhe Postal Telegraph Company at Macon, and is a young man of good standing and highly recom mended, by many friends of Smith- field, N. C., where he was raised. The bride is one of our most pop ular young-ladies, who is well known throughout this section of country fpr her kind-heartedness aud sweet disposition, having been employed by the Fort Valley Telephohe Com pany as chief operator for six years yr more. We. extend to the happy couple the hand nearest our heart, and wish them a long and prosperous life of uninterrupted bliss. Don’t Talk Hard Times. In the senate last Thursday the vote authorizing the construction of an isthmian ship canal; was 42 to 84 in favorof the Panama rdute. Pre viously the house had passed the bill favoring the Nicaragua route, and the difference must - now be set tled by, conference. At this dis- tance, the senate seems to be right,, though the- Georgia senators voted for the Nicaragua bill. I never knew a man to be success ful who was always talking about business* being bad. Never allow yourself to dwell on the dark side of anything. You should refuse to talk about depressed markets or hard times. Learn to talk up, not down. Many business men become chronic grumblers or fault-finders. Times are always hard for them. Other men get into a pessimistic rut, and never see brightness or sucoess in anything. It is impossible fbr such people to prosper. Success is a del icate plant, and requires encourage ment and sunBhinel Regard yourself as superior to the evils which surround you. Learn to dominate your environ ments; to rise above depressing in- 11 iiences. Look for the bright side i f things, not the dark and gloomy wide . The world likes sunny, hopeful, buoyant characters; It shuns lugu brious prophets who only see failure and disaster everywhere. The hope ful, cheerful men and women, who see sucoess and longevity in their callings, are the ones who are sought after. It is, as natural to try to avoid disagreeable, unpleasant peo ple as it is to try to escape from the clouds and shadows into the sun shine.-—Success. The many friends of Miss Mary duller White, formerly of Hawjdns- ville, but now a missionary at Soo Chow China, willUe pleased to learn that she is pleasantly situated in her new field. An interesting letter re ceived from her by Miss Lilia Clark of Macon was read before the mis sionary meeting of the Epworth League ac Mulberry church last night. Miss White states that she is gradually learning the Chinese di alect, and is meeting with success in her undertakings -Macon Telegraph. In Atlanta last week the grand ju ry of the federal court indicted offi cials of the Southern, Seaboard Air line, Atlanta & West Point, Western & Atlantic and the Georgia Railway companies for alleged violations of the interstate commerce laws relat ing to the pooling' of cotton rates out of Atlanta.
