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.

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. Holtzclaw’s drugstore.

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.” m 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 of the soul.—Exchange. ^ - - 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. For sale by all .dealers in Perry, Warren & Lowe.
