JOHN 8 MADDOX Kditor.
Mrs. Harrison, departing from
the custom followed by Mrs. Cleve¬
land, refuses to allow her photo¬
graphs to lie sold. This is very
modest and nice in Mrs. Harrison.
Gen Gordon's inaugural address
is attracting much attention from
northern newspapers, and their
comment ia unanimously favora¬
ble. It is not given to many south¬
ern men to lie popular and roapect
ed both north and south as it is to
our governor.
*w.~ •' ra s sssnr;
Now we may look for the passage
of the dependent pension bill. The
modest sum of $70,000,000, that is
now being }*id to federal pensioned
soldiers will be' increased in the
next four years irom this sum to
♦200,(XX),000. It is theirs and full¬
ness of the earth, boeides—let them
hare it. *
* .
Gen’J .Gordon recomrnonds the
increase of pension for our wounded
confederate veterans. That’s cor¬
rect; they fixed many of the - hoys
in blue for elqw traveling, who are
not getting royal boutics, from the
governBient, and it does seem that
w« should pay our war worn vete¬
rans liberally for doing such noble
work.
The convict, Oscar Carmichael,
who killed W. J. Gresham near
Griffin Friday, is reported to have
been hilled at hit wifo’s house, near
the line of Henry, Friday night *bv
a posse that wei.t in pursuit. The
sheriff came back to town, hut the
poase Wwnt to his wife's house aid
watched for him, and when he was
teen- approaching he was firod on,
"Cud according to reports was liter¬
ally riddled with bullets.
The New York Herald hits the
bull’s eye, so to apeak, when, in an¬
swer to the Jqueetion, “Is tariff ro
fora to be given up now?” it says:
“Why, no. Dr. Cleveland inocu¬
lated the patient and the virus ‘took’
powerfully. The doctor was din
charged, to he sure, which was an
sasy thing to do, but who can get
.be viruj out of the system? It is
bound to work and there ia no
power this side of the blue sky that
can stop it." The ‘‘campaign of
nducaiion” will go right on with its
good work. Look out for some¬
thing to happen in 1892.
An exchange observing the times,
person* and their ways gives this
bit of cheerful news in a spi/it of
good-hnmor: “It is not an uncom¬
mon thing for a newspaper sub¬
scriber to call around at the office
and order it discontinued, because
he’s offended at something he has
read in its columns. All newspa¬
per# have such experiences, The
wind which blows from one direc¬
tion to-day may come from another
quarter to-morrow, and the experi- ]
enced newspaper manager calmly ,
pursues the course which he believe- |
i. right and aa tf, whether it plea,or
everybody or not. In all probllbil

ty new subscribers are liable to

along on its useful mission, instruc¬

the hot-headed follow who ordered

seeing that it flonrishes quite as

Mr., Cleveland shows no sign of
undue disappointment over the re .
suit Bun,oi of vue the election ejection.
Now for the Figures.
The report of State School Com
missioner Hook, covering the edu
cational operations of this state for
i 887 and 1888 . shows ;hat the en
rollment of pupils in the public
schools for 1887 was 342,294, of
which 208,865 were white and 133,-
429 were colored. This was an in¬
crease over the previous year of 22
570, but the average regular atten¬
dance showed a decrease of 117.
The attendance of children and
£2
per cent for the colored. The fund
for tlio public school purposes is de
rived from the following sources:
Half rental of the state road, divi
dends on Georgia rarlroad stock,
taxon shows, liquor tax, hire of
convicts, fees for inspecting
lzers, and poll tax. The fund for
1,887 was $489,008.54. and it will be
merenre,] ,,, tins . )«ar , by about , , » 2 o, 000 .
1 roin this, however, are to he
_
ducted the expenses of printing,
and the salaries of state and county
commissioners, amounting to about
$30,000. Dividing the fund for
1887 among those composing the
school , , population, ... c«oh , child , ,
»»
entitled to 82 ceuts ; dividing
arnong the pupils enrolled, each
was entitled to $1,35.
An exchange asks: “What is
home without a newspaper?” to
which a brother editor replies “It D
a place where old hats are stuffed
into the window panes, where the
children are like pigs, the house
wife like an aboriginal savage, and
the husband with a panorama of
the Dismal Swamp painted on his
shirt bosom with tobacco juice.
