Georgia has tho h'. nor of fur nishing the greatest man in at tendance at the Coulddorate vet erans’ re-union. C. A. Moeks, editor i f th Banks County Journal, has l>.«m unani mously nominated fir ebrk >' f superie court in his c< u.itv. Ti:i , ueral assembly of the I* . y ;,',u church, at its recent , -.' Atlanta, decided to . ; a 1 u. jf $1,000,000 within ti i i -.xt L .. years to endow their i .1 1 .tans of learning. Mr. D. Whaley’s letter speaks th.; conviction of many other Populists in this connty. The Populist party is dead, sud why should the Populists of this coun ty be the last to find it out ? The State Democratic conven tion meets in Atlanta on June 14th Harmony and peace will prevail throughout the sessm- No doubt Hon, Fleming G. Du- Bignon will be re-elected chairman of the party. If the letters, received by the Macon Telegraph from the differ ent parts of the fruit growing sec tion of Georgia, are true, there will be over seventeen hundred cars of peaches shipped from the state during the summer. Fort Valley alone will ship nine hun dred cars. John Powers, brother of Secre tary of State Caleb Powers, was recently arrested on a charge of complicity in the murder of Gov ernor Goebel, but was released the next day. Powers’ attorneys presented a pardon from Governor Taylor. Judge Wyatt recognized the pardon as valid and released Powers. Andrew Jackson wag grand mas ter of the grand lodge of Tennes see, James Buchanan was deputy grand master of the grand lodge of Pennsylvania, and George Washington was worshipful master of bis lodge at Alexandria, Vir ginia. The other presidents who have been Masons are Polk, John son, Garfield and McKinley. At the Methodist Episcopal gen eral conference hold in Chicago! last week, Drs. Hamilton and Moore were elected Bishops, after a debate of nearly a week. The question of the admission of wo men to the general conference also called the attention of the assembly for sometime. After a lively debate the long agitated question was settled in favor of the women. The frst shipment of Georgia peaches was made last week by Messrs. Walker and Slappey, of Macon county. Two cars of well developed, lucious peaches were 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. “Difficulties give way to dilli gence,” and disease germs and blood humors disappear wh“n Hood’s Sarsaparilla is faithfully taken. 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. OAMTOniA, >Mntb Ths kind You Have Always Bought 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 KIND WORDS. Decatur, Ga., May 28, 1900. Editor News-Herald: You will please stop sending me your paper. However, I wish to state I think it one of the largest and best weekly papers published in Georgia—full of original matter. All the big city weeklies are simp ly a rehash from the dailies, from matter that is old and stale. If I lived in Gwinnett county, I would not know how to get along with out it. Respectfully, J, W. Matson. Atlanta office: 16 N. Pryor. Temple, Ga., May 28, 1900 Editor News-Herald: Enclos ed you will find P. O. money order for 75c to renew my subscription. I married one of Gwinnett coun ty’s best girls two years ago last November, and we could not do without the News-Herald. Yours truly, J. S. Dobbs. 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.

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. CENTREVILLE.
