What Georgia is Doing.
Southern Educational Notes.
The “North Carolina spirit” has
become a familiar term. It is the
spirit of true progress, and js ex
pressing itself in the great industri
al and educational uprising in that
state.
It looks as if this spirit will be
duplicated in Georgia, i>nd it is a
significant coincidence that in each
this spirit is fostered and led by the
Normal School students and princi
pals.
This spirit cannot be better ex
pressed thail in the following words
taken from a private letter written
by President E. C. Branson, of the
Georgia State Normal:
“The Btudents of this school wrote
letters about the conference to their
home papers,and every county news
paper in Georgia has been full of the
reports and the spirits of this con
ference.
“Not only that, the students of
this school have undertaken to raise,
by correspondence with generous-
hearted men and women in the
state, the fifty scholarships that
were given to us upon condition.
They have raised fifteen already.
“Not only that, they have organ
ized a little campaign committee iu
every county to the end of seouring
the ten thousand dollars Mr. Pea
body gave us upon condition The
leaven is at work iu Georgia, and it
is beginning Where it/ ought to be
gin—with the teachers of the state.
It is well for them early in life to
get out of themselves and out of
their school houses into the whole
of community life, to stir things up
and help things along in all good
ways.
“We will have a new college build
ing begun by January. I speak con
fidently, because things that are
worth doing, always get done some
how or other.”
And here is what he writes about
the library at the Georgia Normal;
“Forty-one hundred and fifty vol
umes have been put upon the shelves
of the library-room since the first of
Maroh. This magnificent result rep
resents the combined interest and
effort of the student body, the fac
ulty and our good friends in the
community. A property worth five
thousand dollars at thp lowest esti
mate has been created without one
cent of oost to the statei Dr. A. O.
Granger gave us a twenty-dollar
gold piece, which is the largest out
side contribution from any source.”
It is often said . that the age of
miracles is past. Not in the educa
tional world, at least. Here is a
faith that will move all the moun
tains pf difficulty—a spirit that is
sublime in its unalterable determin
ation to educate every boy and girl
in Georgia.
Recent discussion as to the prop
er pronunciation of certain Boer
names has led a London newspaper
to inquire how the Boers themselves
pronounce the names of De Wet,
Delarey, Botha, Steyn and Leyds.
If Boer usage is to prevail, De.Wet
as De Vet, Delarey *has the accent
on the last syllable, just as De La
Rue; Botha is Bota, with the accent
on the first syllable; Steyn and
Leyds are “Stain” and “Laids,” re
spectively.

A man went with his wife to visit
her physician. The doctor placed a
thermometer in the woman’s mouth.
After two or three minutes, just as
the physician was about to, remove
the instrument, the man, who was
not used to such a prolonged spell
of brilliant silence on the part of the
life’s partner, said: “Doctor, what
will yon take for that thing?”

A Mussed-Up Party.
Atlanta Constitution.
The republican party just now ap
pears to be in the condition of the
famous old canal boat that—
Heaved and BOt, and sot and heaved,
And high her rudder flung,
And every time she sot and heaved
A wueser leak she sprung)
Things within the party ranks are
not moving with that nnctious slide-
step that was once their wont and
the band is not playing that jubi
lant note which always recalls the
parade of the Mulligan Guards! The
strenuous Mr. Roosevelt insists on
doing the hurdle act over the ob
structions the more careful leaders
of the party put before his headlong
purposes. The senate has develop
ed a strong body of mutiheers and
the house<is practically at the mercy
of the insurgents. The wisely laid
schemes of the managers to pass
subsidies in aid of campaign con
tributors have gone astray, and the
general appearance of the party pro
gramme is that of a badly mussed-
up parade in the midst of a stam
pede.
Republicanism, indeed, has reach
ed the stage where its vagarious
policies are in collision. Its prac
tices of opportunism and the neces
sities of its new ventures in un-
American policies have arrived at
the point where confusion is inevit
able and conflicts of interests are on
with desperate insistency. The peo
ple are beginning to see in the situ
ation how unjust and dangerous is
the politics that is founded on sec
tionalism and special privileges. The
creation of trusts, monopolies and
protected local industries is sure to
produce just suoh internecine war
fares within the party as those now
waging among the republicans.
The conflict of factions for the
control of legislation, for the taking
of loot, for speoial licenses to plun
der the publio treasury or the peo
ple at large is now between the gi
ant interests that republican favorit
ism has fostered, and in their greedy
endeavors they bid fair to wreck the
party. That they will do so, shonii!
be the eager hope of every t uh
American patriot. The people lmve
been used, abused, cajoled and j»lun-
dered by the combination known us
the republican party until patience
under its burdens has ceased to be
either virtuous or patriotic. It is
the party of the few, the powerful,
the un-American in methods and
purposes.
The only relief for’the masses of
the people lies along the old-fash
ioned policies of conservative dem
ocracy, The only hope of righteous
government is in the reaffirmation
of the doctrine of “equal rights to
all and special privileges to none!”
That is the gospel of the nation’s
salvation and that is platform and
policy enough’on which to present
to the American voter the opportu
nity to' restore to himself and his
posterity the true conditions of “a
government by and for the people!”
A Real Friend.
“I suffered from dyspepsia and
indigestion for fifteen years,’’says
W. T. Sturdevaut of Merry Oaks,
N. G. “After I had tried many
doctors and medicines to no avail
one of my friends persuaded me
to try Kodol. It gave immediate
relief. I can eat almost anything
I want now and my digestion is
good. I cheerfully recommend
Kodol.” Don’t try to cure stom
ach trouble by dieting. That on
ly further weakens the system.
You need wholesome, strengthen
ing food. Kodol enables you to
assimilate what you eat by digest
ing it without the stomach’s aid.

Some idea of Texas weather can
be gained by a perusal of the fol
lowing from the Crosby County
News: “Last Wednesday it began
to thunder and to blow, and be
calm and then be hot, and, then a
little hotter, and some more wind,
and then some more thunder and
then some more calm and some hot,
and then some more anything else
except honest rain. A shower of
Peruna would not be sneezed at now
if it would help grass and the crops
and not give stock jimjams.”

Absent-Minded Professors.
In Ithaca, the seat of Cornell Uni
versity, says the New York Tribune,
the memory of a certain member of
tbe faculty is kept green from year
to year by this story of his habit of
intense preoccupation and what
came of it:
One day he was walking over a
beautiful campus path deeply ab
sorbed in a pamphlet on a mathe
matical subject which had just been
received. He bumped into some
thing and, without looking up, rais
ed his hat and said: “I humbly beg
your pardon.”
Thre was no response, and he
raised his eyes to see the campu3
cow.
The next day, another pamphlet
—even more preoccupation—a sec
ond collision.
“Get out of the way, you darned
old cow!” he shouted.
“Sir?” rang the echo in shocked so
prano.
The professor gazed into the an
gry eyes of the wife of a colleague
and faculty enemy.
“But that old professor is not the
only absent-minded man in the Cor
nell faculty,” said the officer of the
college who told the story at the
Cornell Club the other night.
“There is another. He wanted to
demonstrate to one of his classes
how to measure the depth of one of
the many gorges‘about Ithaca by
dropping a stone and timing its fall,
so he borrowed a stop watch from
one of the students and selected a
stone. Standing on the edge of the
bridge, he was ready for the experi
ment. Then what did he do but
drop the watch and hold to the
stone. Nor did he notice his mis
take until the watch splashed into
the water, sixty feet below. He
tried to set the stop on the stone
and pricked his thumb on a sharp
corner.”

Write on your day-book, on your
ledger, on your money safe, “Suffi
cient unto the day is the evil there
of.” Do not worry about notes that
hi o far from due. Do not pile upon
v tu- counting desk the financial anx
ieties of the next twenty years. Mel-
uncholy is the owl that is perched in
many a ohristian soul. The good
times, if we will but believe it, are
now; the better times are not back
ward—but beyond. We believe, as
in the past so in the futrue, the
world will grow better and better.
By-and-by the world and all that
there is therein shall pass away, but
in the new heaven and the new earth
righteousness, only righteousness,
shall dwell* and cheerfulness and
growth will ever mark the progress

There is a distinction between the
ministry of pity and the ministry of
power, says President H. L. Smith
of Davidson College* N. C. In the
ministry of pity there is always dan
ger of over-doing, and sd of ill-do
ing. In providing for the homeless
poor there is danger of pauperizing.
But in the ministry of power, to
which educatipn belongs, there can
be no such danger, since an educa
tion itself can never be given to any
child, but only the opportunity of
an education.
The Same Old Story,
J. A. Kelly relates an experience
similar to that which has happen
ed in almost every neighborhood
in the United States and has been
told and re-told by thousands of
others. He says: “Last snmmer
I had an attack of dysentery and
purchased a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, which I used according
to directions and with entirely sat
isfactory results. The trouble was
controlled much quicker than for
mer attacks when I used other
remedies.” Mr. Kelly is a well-
known citizen of Henderson, N. C.
