shipped to New York, A nice lot
of peaches has also been received
in Atlanta from Tifton, and for
the first time in years Georgia
peaches reach the Atlanta market
before the Florida fruit. As the
prospect for peacheß is unusually
bright this year, the market will
soon be stocked with an abundance
of nice fruit.
The centUß enumerators will
begin taking the census on the
first of June and continue till
completed. In the cities the
enumerating of the people must
be taken in two weeks, and in the
country by the end of the month.
The ohject in making the enumer
ation at the same time all over
the United States, and in having
it done as quickly as possible, is
to get the census of all those win
are moving, visiting, or away from
home; and, on account of this
flunctuation in the population,
especially in the cities, it will be
difficult to get a complete census.
However, the present plans of
taking the census are so complete
in every detail that this census
will be the most satisfactory of
any heretofore.

DOCTRINAL SERMONS.
Tho people of Lawrenceville are
j lining treated to some doctrinal
Iy, 'minus, preached by the pastors
of tho different churches. Pastor
I War lick, of the Methodist church,
i n two or three occasions, has
tb!y discussed the doctriu«s of his
church. On last Sunday, Rev.
Pogue, of the Presbyterian church,
pr.:ached a strong sermon on the
doctrines of Calvanism.
Some object to dootrinal ser
mons, but how are the people to
understand the doctrines of the
churches unless they are instruct
ed by the ministers ? There are
hundreds of church members who
are unacquainted with the belief
of their own churches, much less
being able to defend them. In
our judgment there are too many
“milk and cider preachers in this
oountry, whose main purpose in
preaching is to win popularity.
In this connection, we are remind
ed of the glory about Uncle John
White preaching in a Baptist
church in Augusta. “Uncle John
nie” was a Baptist country preach
er, who preached his coDvictious;
and, when it was announced that,
he was to preach, he was approach
ed by one of the deacons and cau
tioned not to say a word against
the Methodists in his sermon, as a
very large part of their congrega-
tion were of that faith. Another
deacon told him not to preach
against the Presbyterians, as his
mother belonged to that church,
and he must not say anything
that might be unpleasant to her.
Still another told him not to say
anything about the Christian
church, as the brethren of that
church had contributed large'v to
the paying of their pastor. Final
ly “Uncle Johnnie” said: “Well,
brethren, whom must I say any
thing against ?” The deacons,
all agreed told him to preach
again ' .ne Jews, as none of them
\ re‘.here,and he wouldn’t insult
anyone.
We are not of the opinion that
a preacher ought to attack any
other denomination at all, but
the preachers ought to occasionally
preach a sermon on their own
faith, and let the people decide
which denomination suits them
best, and in attaching themselves
to the church, act accordingly.
The people of Lawrenceville are
too intelligent and liberal minded
to take offense at any minister in
a fair discussion of the doctrines
of hiß ohurch.
TH K CONSTITUTION AND THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
The Atlanta Constitution seems
to delight in attacking the public
school system of Georgia at every
opportunity, In a recent editorial
the attack is made because a
teacher out in Polk county placed
some girls on the debate of the
jury system for a Friday afternoon
entertainment. After stating a
good many objections,the editorial
winds up by saying that if the
public schools would instill the
rudiments well and effectively,
they would not be without praise.
It is true that the rudiments
ought to be well taught, but what’s
the purpose of the Constitution in
jso frequently referring to the ele
mentary studies of the common
schools ? When the Constitution
was making its strong fight before
the legislature, in the fall of 1898,
for the reduction of the public
school fund $400,000, its editorials
were continually referring to the
rudiments, the elementary studies.
Is it with pride that the Constitu
tion desires to keep the fact that
Georgia has only the elementary
studies provided for in its school
laws, or is the Constitution an
enemy to the public school sys
tem ? The teachers of Georgia
are compelled to put other studies
in their schools, if our children
are to be as well taught as the
children of other states. Texas
has seventeen studies in her public
school system; Georgia, seven.
Not even nistory is mentioned in
the school laws of Georgia. Will
the Constitution contend that
the history of Georgia and of the
United States ought not to be
taught in the common schools of
our state ?
The fact of the whole matter is
that the Atkinson administration
increased the appropriation to the
public school system of Georgia
to $1,000,000, but the Constitution
was opposed to it; and, when
Candler wag elected governor, the
Constitution began its fight to re
duce the appropriation $400,000,
telling the people that the taxes
would be greatly reduced.
The appropriation was reduced
only $200,000, and the Constitu
tion is sore because of the
failure to make the reduction of
$400,000. The cut of $200,000 in
appropriation to ti e public schools
has failed to make any appreciable
reduction of taxes, and in our
opinion the Constitution will nev
er be able to succeed in making
the cut it has contended for.

NIORO ENUMERATORS.
Eighteen negroes have been ap
pointed census enumerators iu
Augusta, Georgia, and three ne
groes in Troup county.
What say you, brother Populist,
who voted for McKinley two years
ago ? Will you do it again ?
flow would you like for a negro
to come into your home and ask
your wife all the questions that
the enumerators are required to
ask ? If you endorse this kind of
politics, aud are of the opinion
that the negroes are more entitled
to offices here in your own state
than white men, cast your 1 allot
for Wm. McKinley. If you favor
white rule, vote for Wm. J. Bryan,
the candidate of the party that
has never placed a negro in office
in Georgia. It is true that Cleve
land gave some foreign appoint
ments to negroes, but he never
gave any offices to them hero in
Georgia, nor in the south, if we
remember correctly.
This great country belougs to
the white man, by right of discov
ery and by right of superiority, as
well as by right of majority—even
here iu the south there being five
whites to one colored; and any
party that attempts to dominate
the whites by the negroes deserves
the disrespect of every white man,
north or south, especially iu the
south.
We do not wish to be misunder
stood in that we are trying to rear
prejudice against the negre race.
Simply let the negro stay in his
place. He knows where it is. But
it is not the negro who holds office
that we are attacking—it’s the
white man, who, in a sense, equal
izes himself with the negro in try
ing to place him on a level with
the whites.
STATE PROHIBITION IN THE RECENT
PRIMARIES.
In Jackson county Mr J. N.
Holder, editor of the Jackson
Herald, was a candidate for the
state senate, and stated that he
would vote for state prohibition.
Hon. W. I. Pike opposed him and
was for local option. Mr. Holder
received a majority over Mr. Pike
of more than five hundred 'votes.
In Coweta county, a warm fight
was made between Mr Post, state
prohibitionist, and Mr. Hardeman,
local optionist, in which Mr. Har
deman defeated his opponent with
about the same majority that
Holder defeated Pike. Hon. John
T. Newton ran for state senator
on this issue over in Morgan
county, and was elected over hiß
opponent by a good majority. In
Bartow county, the candidate for
state senator on the Willingham
bill was defeated by a very small
majority. DeKalb elected two
strong state prohibitionists,Messrs.
Howard and George. In Rockdale
county, Mr. Turner, state prohi
bitionist, beat his opponent by a
a vote of ovar two to one.
These are about the only coun
ties where the contests between
state prohibition and local option
were made, and it is not yet clear
w hat will be the fate of stale pro
hibition in the next legislature.
FERTILIZERS A NECESSITY.
An observation of the wheat
crop in this county, at this par
ticular time, when the results of
fertilizers are easily discovered, is
convincing proof that the time
has come when it is necessary to
use fertilizers of some sort under
all our crops. This is not as hap
py condition of affairs as desired,
when it is remembered that it has
not been so long time since no
fertilizers of any kind were used
under wheat or corn. The lands
were freshly cleared then; but
now nearly all the good land, that
is well suited for cultivation, is
cleared, and it is nearly all getting
to be “old laiid.” The price of
fertilizers is high, and farmers
can’t make enough of them at
home to use under all their crops,
yet, if they bad kept up the plan
of sowing down and cultivating
their farms alternately, or if they
would adopt this plan even now,
it would not be long before the
farms would be rich euough to re
quire but little fertilizers.
TRUST ON BAGGING AND TINS.
Cotton bagging and ties have
become a prev to the trusts, and
the price has been advanced 40%.
A few years ago, when a similar
trust was formed, the Farmers’
Alliance was in existence, and the
trust was easily broken. Now
that there is uo organization
among the farmers, it is very like
ly that the trust will succeed, and
the farmers will be forced to pay
40% more for bagging and ties
this year than last.
Rev. D. C. Lilly, secretary of
the Stillman Institute for negroes
at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in an
address before the recent General
Assembly of Presbyterians, held
in Atlanta, stated that industrial
training is not a solution of negro
education, aud as proof of his po
sition gave statistics’which showed
that of 1248 colored men educated
industrially only three had con
tinued to follow the trades they
had learned

I think it one of the largest and

THE KCI.IPSE.
The eclipse of the sun on Mon
day was just exactly what the as
tronomers said it would be, and
everything connected with it hap
pened on schedule time, nothing
missing as much as a second.
It is not generally undergti od
how the astronomers can predict
an eclipse with such definite cer
tainty, but it is very simple. When
time between two similar eclipses
is kuowu, the dates for the coming
of all eclipses of that kind c»u be
fixed for thousands of years as eas
ily as for 100. For an example,all
that there is to do to tell the time
Gr the next appearance of the
eclipse of last Monday, is to find
out the dates of tho same eclipse
for the past.
CARRY SUNSHINE WITH YOU.
A bright, fresh, sunny face is al
ways inspiring, and it always de
notes good health, as well as a hap
py heart. Many faces that were
once over-cast with gloom have
been made bright aud sunny by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which cures
all dyspeptic symptoms, strength

Te the Teachers of Gwinnett County.
You will find in this issue a pro
gram that I have arranged for the
Institute. While the program is
by no means an ideal one, it con
tains a wide range of subjects
about which the teachers should be
thinking. No teacher who puts an
estimate on his or her time can af
ford to spend the week indifferent
ly at the Institute. I hope we
shall all meet in the proper spirit,
and enter into the work with that
earnestness and enthusiasm that is
essential to the accomplishment of
great purposes.
Since the child-life of the com
munity is so intimately connected
with the school and so palpably
influenced by the teacher, the
word duty, to the one who under
takes the great work of teaching,
should be regarded with a sacred
reverence. It is our duty to make
better teacher, and to broaden and
deepen the current of our lives by
attaining that indefinable and in
dispensable something we call cul
ture. Then we will have better
schools, and with better schools we
will have a better people, more
prosperous times, and a better and
higher form of natural life.
Judging from the signs of the
times th 6 South is just entering an
era of material advancement that
will likely prove itself unprecedent
ed in history. Along with this
will be an era of intellectual ad
vancement. Our schools must
lead the van of this progressive
course, and unless we desire to be
come “back numbers,” it is neces
sary for us to keep in touch with
the great thinkers in our line of
work.
I hope all the teacheis will make
a thorough review of the Manual,
Page, Waymaras, etc., and will
come to the Institute ready and
willing to fulfill their duties to
themselves and to their fellow
teachers.
If those who have work assigned
them wish any references I shall
be glad to furnish any material or
references that I can.
Respectfully,
Wade H. Maxwell.
