* This remarkable statement is made
by the Christlan Register: People
pften speak about the “odor of sanc

of the tollet. In our time it is de

‘meeting in Cincinnati. “The Chinese

iloving people on earth, Even if the
ones we find in this country were
compared with the lowest of other

are many things in the history of his

‘This comes not as a startling bit of
news but as a reminder of the mania
(which seems to be driving the people
ot all countries in a mad rush from
‘the farm to the city. The propor

which was only three per cent. in
1790, and twenty-two per cent. in
1880, is now thirty-three per cent.
and is growing by leaps and bounds,
The discouraging thing is that this
movement is taking place now when
iabor on the farm is needed so much
and when farm life was never so
wholesome or attended with so many
conveniences. Boys are leaving a
comfortable living in the country to
work for starvation wages and live
under unsanitary conditions in the
cities. Instead of returning to their
homes in the small towns where they
might almost immediately come to
positions of trust and influence, the

Application was made to the rail
road commisgion for ithe privilege of
issuing several million dollars worth
of stock and bonds to raise money for
the construction of a trolley line from
Atlanta to Macon, and from the latter
city to Albuny and Americus. It was
made by the Atlanta Grifin and Ma
con Electric Raliway company and the
Americus and Albeny Electric Railway
company, both of which have been
chartered and organized. It was an
nounced -that arrangemenis have been
completed for disposing of the securi
ties, and that as 3000 as the commis
sion places its seal upon the plan ac
tive work of construction will begin.
“Cars will be running between At-
Janta and Macon on a two-hour sched
ule In a year's time,” said W, Jordan
Massee of Macon, who is the leading
promoter of the movement. Accom

8. Davig of Albany, and M. Felton
Hatcher of Macon, together with rep

the companies will decide to issue, but
it is known to be in the millions.
The trolley lines will be operated
by power from the plants of the Cen
tral Georgia Power company, which
are now being constructed cn the Oc
mulgee and Flint rivers. Millions will
be invested in these plants alone.
While no definite announcement was
made, it is known that the railroad
commission looked with favorable eye
on the proposition of the promoters.
No order was issued, as it is neces-:
sary that the charters of eaci com
pany be amended before it can be
legally passed.

. Beventy-five Thousand Appropriated
by Commissioners.
Macoun, Gia—By an unanimous vote
the Bibb county board of commission
ers appropriated’ the sum of $75,000
for the maintenance of the Bibb coun
ty and Macon schools for the year
beginning July Ist, 1908. When the
finance committee of the board of edu
cation appeared before the commis
sloners it cited the reasons for asking
for $75,000, saying that improvements
and repairs that would cost about $lO,-
000 bad bebn planned. Last year the
county gave §75,000 to the school
board and the fact that it will do so
agaln in the face of lessened revenues
shows what Is thought in Bibb county
of the advancement along educational
lines,
At the meeting the establishment of
& Boys' High school was given an
other push both by the school board
and the commissioners. The Gresham
High school has 450 pupils and a

Oldest Permanent C.ity.
Albany, capital of the great Empire
- State, claims to be the oldest per
manent settlement within t‘h@ limits
of our thirteen colonies, but has
greater historical significance on ac
count of its strategic importance dur
ing ‘the century of conflict betwe:n
,the English and French in America
and in the American revolution. In
1524 Verrazzano, a French mavigator,
sailed up the Hudson, and about 1540
a French trading post, was set up
- near the present site of Albany. The
continuous history of the place dates
from the discovery of these regions
' by Henry Hudson in 1609, who was
followed by Dutch traders, who in
