EDUCATIONAL.
“Education!" exclaimed Dr.
Samuel Hanson Cox, an eminent
Presbyterian minister of the last
generation, ‘‘education! What
an idea! Generalized, it covers
oil time, affects all eternity!”
Education! It is the trans
forming influence of the world.
It is the difference between the
United States and Mexico, between
England and Turkey. It is the
basis of our Christian culture. It
takee the Indian of the plains,
and puts him into the shop of the
mechanic. It takes the negro from
the cabin and mikes him the own
er of it plantation. It carries the
Bible to the cannibal, and makes
him a child of the kingdom .
Education works wonders. It
spans the continent with bauds of
steel; it drives floating palaces
across the sea; it circles the eartlh
with the message of the lightning;
it analyzes the sunbeams: it
weighs the stars; it reads the tes
timony of the rocks; it throws
bridges across the yawning chasm;
it brings to light the buried cities
of the past; it lifts the cathedral
spire to the dome of heaven.
Education grasps the pen and
gives us the poem, the essay, the
novel, the drama, the oration, the
historic record—Longfellow and
Lamb, Dickens and Sheridau,
Webster and Macauley.
Education seizes the pencil, and
the world stands in admiration
before the Last Supper and the
Sistiue Madonna, Da Vinci aud
Raphael,
Education takes the chisel, ana
from the marble block appears the
glorious Jupiter of Phidias and
the majestic Moses of Michael
Angelo.
Education lifts the lvre, and
heavenly harmony fills the soul in
the Messiah of Handel, in the
sonata of Beethoven.
Education of the hand aud
heart, of the mind and soul 1 Un
ceasing, endless, infinite, eternal!
No subject too profound for its
grasp, no thought too exalted tor
its touch .
Moses and St. Paul, Plato aud
Demosthenes, Luther and St. Au
gustine, Newton and Shakespeare,
Goethe und Mendelssohn, Edwards
and Emerson.
Could I in stature reach the pole,
Or grasp creation in iny span,
I’d still be measured by tny soul;
The mind’s the stature of the man.
—Prof. W. W. Davis iu Pennsyl
vania School Journal.
Advice to School Teaohers.
Mr. Editor: Will you allow me
space in your columns to express
a few thoughts in regard to the
spirit of the school teacher? This
is a subject I have oftentimes
thought to be very important iu
all callings, and especially in the
school room.
I agree with the great teacher
and philosopher, Pestaloggi, who
said: “I would have my pupils
at each moment from morning to
evening to read on my face aud to
devine on my lips that my heart is
devoted to them; that their hap
piness and their joys are my hap
piness and my joys ”
No question can be more impor
tant. The spirit of the teacher
has more to do with the success
and governmefi' of a school than
any other one thing. A spirit that
looks upon the human son) as
being the most precicus of all cre
ated things; a spirit that desires
to be helpful to those who are to
be taught, one that ever desires to
do right, and fears to do wrong.
Plato says: “Next to creating a
human soul, the divinest thing in
the universe is educating aright.”
This is a faithful saying, and it is
worthy of careful consideration.
A teacher should enter the
school room every morning and
complete his days’ work and then
leave it every evening with the
right spirit, a spirit that can see
CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED
with local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a blood or con
stitutional disease, and iu order
to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucus surfaces.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular
prescription. It is composed of
the best tonics known, combined

faces. The perfect combination
of the two ingredients is what
produces such wonderful results

and realize in every child’s face
the handiworks of God, a spirit
that seeks not alone pecuniary
emolument*, but one that strives
to be helpful to those who have
been placed under his care.
The teacher should always treat
his pupils with great kindness,but
be steadfast and firm in every
thing pertaining to his school
duty. He should strive to do that
which would benefit his pupils And
himself regardless > f his populari
ty. A teacher without this spirit
is not worthy of the name, and
will always be helpful whereever
he or she may go.
The teachers should always
practice self control aud be ready
at any time to control his temper.
They should evor be on the alert
while in the school room.
Now iu conclusion I will put in
a few words about governing a
school. I think a few rules are
necessary, but a few indeed. And
then be as firm as steel with your
few rules. These rules ought to
be very mild rules but be carried
out to the very last notch.
A child can be easier controlled
by what you do than by what you
say. 80 don’t try to make what
you say coutrol the school alto
gether, but mix a little of what
you are with what you say.
“What a man is re-enforces or
weakens all that he says or does."
This is a true declaration with any
and all kind of people. For what
we are always re-enforceß us either
to do better or wor*e ■
We hope this will be a success
ful school year. So let all the
teachers strive to make better im
provements in their school this
year than they have heretofore.

Prof. E. S. Bradley Lectures to Atlanta
Club Women.
A highly instructive aud inter
esting feature of the Atlanta Wo
man’s Club meeting recently was
a lecture from Professor Bradley,
of Emory college, on “Bacteriolo
gy or Our Microscopic Friends.”
Professor Bradley occupies the
chair of biology in Emory college
and is one of the best known and
most scholarly young educators in
the south. Hie lecture, given un
der the auspices of the home sec
tion of the club, dealt with a sub
ject so universal iu its scope and
of such peculiar interest to home
makers aud housekeepers that it
was observed by mauy that a more
attentive audience never attended
a lecture in the club. What bad
appeared to be in the minds of
many the almost unfathomable
mysteries of bacteriology were ex
plained so delightfully and reason
ably by Professor Bradley that
“our microscopic friends” arose
to a degree of importance that
rendered them a subject not only
interesting, but fascinating, and
and one that will be pursued still
further as an instructive study by
those who are determined to have
an intelligent knowledge of all
subjects that iu any way relate to
the home, and to living. Among
the gentlemen guests of the occa
sion who joined with the large
club membership in enjoyment of
the lecture, were Bishop Warren
A. Candler, Professor W. A. Bass
aud Mr, W. P. Pattillo.
Mrs. W. P. Pattillo, chairman
of the lecture committee of the
club, was congratulated at the
close of the meeting for the
success she has met with in bring
ing to the club during the ensu
ing year lecturers so eminently
qualified to instruct aud entertain
as Professor Bradley.—Constitu

Frank?oHT,Ky., Jan. 25. —A spe

men carrying Winchester rifles, ar
rived in Frankfort at 8:80 o’olock
this morning. The men bail from
the surrounding counties. Frank
fort is overflowing with visitors,
but none except those arriving to
day carry arms. Governor Taylor
stated to an Associated Press rep
resentative that the men were not
soldiers. He disclaimed any
knowledge of the identity or pur
pose of the armed visitors.
The meu marched to the state
house, stacked their arms and took
up positions in groups about the
buildings.
Adjutant General Collier states
that he had no knowledge that the

visitors are members of the state

Ex-Secretary of State Finley

the object of the gathering was to
see justice done. A committe was
appointed to draft resolutions.
The resolutions committee draft

equal men’ of Kentucky do reas
sert ‘the great aud essential prin
ciples of liberty aud free govern

rights, not as derived to us there
from, but as ‘inherent.’
“Our property we may alienate

but our liberty is a heritage in us

we may neither surrender nor en

Cigarette Legislation.
The newly-elecfed governor of
Keutucky, Hon. W. S. Taylor,
among other things recommended
to the legislature, is the passage of
a law to prohibit the manufacture
and sale ol cigarettes aud cigarette
paper iu the state. He is more
pronounced iu his views against
the use of cigarettes than he is
against the use of strong drink,for
Kentucky is noted all over tha
world for its bourbon whiskies,
and to say anything against the
use of whisky might not add to his
popularity.
A bill similar to the oue recom
mended by the governor of Ken
tucky was introduced in the last
house of representatives of Geor
gia by Hon. W. V. Harvard, of
Dooly county. Mr. Harvard is
himself a man who is extremely
temperate in all things. He does
not touch whisky, tobacco, nor
coffee, is very cautious never to
strain the organs i f the stomach
by overeating; he never uses harsh
nor indiscreet language, and al-
ways maintains an even temper.
His bill came to a vote, but failed
to receive the requisite constitu
tional majority, and was therefore
lost-
Mr. Harvard made a hard fight
for the passage of the bill, and
when the moasure came up for
third reading, Baid, in part, as fol
lows :
“This bill seeks to rid our state
of one of the greatest evils, in my
opinion, in the land today. This
question is one that involves the
future welfare of every uiau, wo
man and child in Georgia, This
bill prohibits the manufacture and
sale of cigarettes or cigarette pa
per, or the giving away of either ill
this state.
“You have a law oil your statute
books that intends to prohibit the
sale to minors, but that law is in
effective, inasmuch as the boy can
buy the tobacco, and the cigarette
r»per i« oiven to.him. and he
makes his own cigarette. My bill
prevents it being given to him,
which puts it entirely out of his
reach.
“The opposers to this bill say it
is unconstitutional, inasmuch as
the interstate commerce law al
lows them shipped in from other
states in original packages and
sold. In reply to that, I say that
with the law you have in force, in
connection with this bill, would
stop the trade entirely to our boys,
and the interstate commerce trade
in original packages to adults
would not warrant a successful
trade in this state. Besides, gen
tlemen, see what the railroad com
panies are doing to lessen this evil
traffic; they utterly refuse to em
ploy or keep in their employ, a
man who uses them. The cigar
ette and cigarette paper are both
composed of ingredients that are
poisonous to the system, and tends
to dwarf tie mind and wreck the
physical nature; part of these
poisonous ingredients are strych
nine and cocaine, which directly
affects the heart, braiu and lungs,
which are the most vital parts of
a man. The boy, in developing
into young manhood, needs all the
aid possible to strengthen these
faculties, and this habit acts the
reverse. He acquires the habit,
aud like all other opiates, it grows
on him, aud almost before you are
aware of it he has become a men
tal and physical wreck, and often
the result is he soon becomes an
inmate of the asylum or fills a sui
cidal grave.
“Look what our Spanish-Arneri
cau war developed; ninety per
cent of the applicants for service
were turned down on account of
this evil habit of smoking cigar
ettes.

AN EDITOR’S LIFE SAVED
BY CHAMBERLIN’S COUGH REMEDY.
During the early part of Octo
ber, 1806, I contracted a bad cold
which settled on my lungs and
was neglected until I feared that
consumption had appeared in an
incipient state. I was constantly
coughing and trying to expel
something which I could not. I
became alarmed and after giving
the local doctor a trial bought a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and the result was imme
diate improvement, and after I
had used three bottles my lungs
were restored to their healthy
state. —B. S. Edwards, Publisher
of The Review, Wyant, 111.

j license sale of the cigarettes. My
dear sirs, can you, in the face of
all the damage done to the human
race in Georgia by this injurious
habit of cigarette smoking, vote
against this bill that seeks to save
your boy from this great evil, for
the sake of the small revenue that
goes into the state treasury from
this source ? May God help you
to consider the cast of that vote.
I appeal to you, gentlemen of this
general assembly, for those dear
boys of yours, that are dearer to
you than your life, who are liable
to come in contact with it, and ac
quire the habit from association,
and they become a mental and
physical wreck For their sakea,
vote for this bill.
"I appeal to you for that dear
daughter of yours that is the very
apple of your eye, who you expect
some day to give to the care of an
other, and whose future happiness
depeuds on your action today. I
beg yon to vote for this bill. I ap
peal to you for Georgia, your dear
state, whose name you love to hon
or. Vote to reliove her of this evil
traffic. I appeal to you for all
that is good and noble in your na
ture, to vote for this bill.”
Mr. Harvard says he will not let
upon the cigarette business, but
will probably ask his county to
send him back to the legislature,
where he can continue the fight
against cigarettes.
Hon. D. P. Rose, of Camden,
was the chief opponent of the
measure, and made a strong speech
against the bill. He said our
country is drifting more and more
towards paternalism every year,
and that the time is not far dis
tant when laws will be passed pre
scribing what kind of shoes,clothes
or hats we shall wear. “Yes,” said
he, “paternalism will want the
state to nurse the babies when they
are born.”

HOW LELAND POWER WOULD
TEST A YOUNG MAN’S FIT- ,
NESS FOR THE CAREER OF
A PUBLIC READER.
“What should a young man or
a young woman know to begin a
career as a reader ?”
“We take it for granted, do we
not, that h 6 has the dramatic
temperament ? That is absolute
ly essential. With that he should
also possess a love for and appre
ciation of good literature. Ho
should have keen intuitions and
wide sympathies, a vivid, but con
trolled imagination. The broader
and more thorough his culture,
the better.”
“How is he to know that he
possesses the dramatic tempera
ment ? How would yon test a
student, if he came to you ?”
“I would have him read or re
cite something to me and I would
watch myself, as well as him while
he was reading. If he made me
see pictures, I would know that
he saw in pictures. This is nec
essary for all dramatic interpre
tation. It is then essential that
the student should, through
thorough training, develop all his
agents of expression. His voice
and body should be made respon
sive to his thought and obedient
to his will.”
“When any one comes to you
and asks your advice as to wheth
er or not he should follow the
profession of a reader, what do
yon say ?”
“I would tell him that unless
his bent in that direction is so
strong that he would follow it in
spite of advioe, I should advise
him not to undertake it.” —From

THE SECRET OF PADEREW
SKI’S HOLD ON THE
PUBLIC.
“The event of the past month
in the world of music is without
doubt the arrival of Paderewski
for another ‘American tour.’ Of
all the great popular idols in the
realm of art, and particularly of
that most evanescent of all arts —
music—the groat Pole has held
his groat place the longest. Words,
flights of rhetoric, are powerless
to picture the art of this necro
mancer of melody. Why this
immense, uuchanging popularity?
Is it the fineness of his art ? Is
it not rather the great human
throb expressing his great human
heart so finely and completely
humanly that it reaches the inner
most fibres of humanity ?”—Edi
torial in Werner’s Magazine for
January.
Here Are Figures That Talk.
The late war between the states
lasted 1,504 days.
There were 2,261 battles fought,
in which the federals lost in killed,
80*1,000 men, and the confederates
lost nearly 200,000.
When the war ended, ths feder
al army numbered over 1,000,000
men, while the confederates only
bad about 100,000.
These figures speak the praise
of the confederate soldiers tor
gallantry, patriotism, and chival
rous devotion to their country, in
stronger language than we can
write, and we leave them to tell
the story of their bravery and
heroism to the generations to
come.
Let the figures talk.

Ths Advance In Paper.
During the past few months
there has been an advance of about
sixty per cent in all kinds of white
paper, envelopes, etc., and there
are threats of a paper famine du
ring the present year.
The paper consumed by The
Times this year will cost from
S4OO to S6OO more than during for
mer years, though there has been
no increase in the price of the pa
per, nor reduction in other expen
ses to meet the inert ased demand
upon us. The chances are that
there will be no increase in the
subscription price, and there will
certainly be no curtailment in the
amount of news printed.
To meet these increased expeuses
we shall rely upon our subscribers
to pay promptly the amounts due
us. The individual amounts due
are small, but in the aggregate
they amount to a great deal.
During the present year The
Times will be improved as much
as possible, our ambition being to
make it the most interesting fam
ily paper in this section, covering
all of the news of the world and
picturing the wiregrass section
more thoroughly than any other
paper.—Valdosta Times.
DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results of throat and lung
troubles. What shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible. If not
possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that
has been introduced in all civilized
countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, “Bos
chee’s German Syrup.” It not
only heals and stimulates the tis
sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays iuflamation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s
rest, and cures the patient. Try
one bottle. Recommended many
years by all druggists in the world.
