The demagogical letter is being
sent out from Washington by the
wholesale. The country is being
flooded with such gush, slush and
mush that the people are bored to
death—tired to complete exhaust
ion. Their credulity has been
played upon to such an extent
that they have at last caught on.
They have been importuned until
“forbearance has ceased to be a

The connection in which some
of the Tate organs refer to “Slick”

decent campaigning for gracious
sake cal'; him down.
COLLEGE ENDOWMENTS.
Elsewhere will be found a com
munication which is of interest to
the people not only of Hall county
but of the state. It touches upon
a matter which is of importance
to every citizen who is interested
in the advancement of higher ed
ucation in Georgia. It bears* on
the question submitted to the laft
legislature providing for the sub
mitting to the people of Georgia
an amendment to the constitution
exempting from taxation the en
dowments of colleges in this state.
Th9 policy of the great state of
Georgia toward all educational
institutions in the past has been
that of friendliness. Its future
policy will be the same as
long as the people are permitted
to express themselves. One
change in the constitution, hew-
; ever, needs be made—that of

be beaten by bis distinguished
colleague, the Hon. Farish Carter

smears it all over the Ninth Con

colleges means about ail the col

Emory college, for instance,
means perhaps $10(1,000, while its
endowment is probably $800,000,
so that the taxes paid on the en
dowment is the bulk of the taxes
paid by the college.

used as deemed best. It is grati
fying to know that the Presbyte
rian church of Gainesville took up
a special collection last Sunday
which amounted to $12.60, which
amount was forwarded to the
Atlanta Journal and properly
credited in the fund. The other
churches of the city will no doubt
contribute liberally, and it seems
that it would be a good idea for
the pastors to take up a special
collection for this fund tomorrow.
The Cracker will cheerfully take
charge of any subscription sent in
and forward it promptly to the
proper parties.
The friends of the measure hope
to secure its passage at the next
session,of the legislature, and the
attention of the people of Hall
county is called to it that they may
instruct their representatives how
to vote upon the question.

Spencer Atkinson in.his speech
at Franklin the other day said he
did not like Col. Candler’s mention
of the common people of Georgia.
He said Georgia had no common
people - Of course he meant that
he did not know the common peo
ple, and that he did not expect
them to follow him. About the
sixth of June he will find out that
there are some common people in
Georgia*—somebody besides ring
masters and snap politicians.
