■ROCKDALE BANNER. SUBSCRIPTION: per year m advanct' ...... si,oo. FOR 6 Months................50 cti Entered at the Conyers Pc«t Office as second class mall matter. Advertising rates made known on Demand* Job Work Neatly and Promptly Executed. T. D. O'KELLEY - - Busin« ?? Manajrer JOHN Ii. MADDOX Editor Dr. Felton, of Bartow, is the champion of education in the Georgia Legislature, where he is doing the noblest work of his life, The farmers of DeKalb county are taking active steps to have a change in the road laws. They propose to levy' a tax for the pur¬ pose of improving them. The action of the legislature, in appropriating a large sum of money for the benefit of the pub lie schools, last week was wise and proper, and will meet with the approbation of all good citi zens. The total destruction of property by fire in the United States and Canada during the month of No vein her amounted to about >9,000, 000, which is nearly $7,000,000 less than for the corresponding month of last year. Of the 400 survivors of his old regiment, 223, it is said, have ap¬ , ! plied to Gen. Harrison for office. It seems to us the old vets are a j little greedy. If they have not all got pensions now, they soon will i have. To claim both pension and i office doesn’t give other republi- j cans a fair chance at the spoils. A bushel of corn makes four j gallons of whisky. It sells foi $1(5 at retail. The Government gets $3.60, the farmer forty the railroad $1, the manufacturers $4, the vendor $7, and the drinker all that is left—delirium tremens. The Scientific American lias long held t tie tii st tank among tm 1 leading publications regarding practical information about ait. sciences, mechanics, . chemn try, m ventions, and manufactures. ho one who wishes to keep acquainted with the rapid advancement along these lines can dispense with it. Munn & Co., 361 Broadway, New I oik. Price, $3.09 a year. Copies of the paper may beseem at this office, and subscriptions receiv ed. The lower house of tiro legisla¬ ture of New York contains only fifteen farmers, although the agri¬ cultural districts cast over half the entire vote of the state. Among those elected as farmers are sever¬ al who are said to do only “parlor farming.” In Georgia it is differ¬ ent. The legislature, now in ses¬ sion, shows an increased number, iu fact a remarkably large number of farmers, and the indications are that the people won’t regret hay elected them. The colored man is going out of fashion in New York, much to his » disgust, according to a speaker at the (’bickering hall meeting last week. ‘‘The colored coach - the ,. colored . . barber, , ,, . he man ami said, have disappeared from New York, the Englishman wears the waiter s apron in the hoted dining rooms, the Irishman has seized the whitewash brush, and the al moud-eyed Mongolian peeps over the washtub where once the key'sjace was seen.” If what Judge Cooley says is true, the inter-state commerce law is by bo in©tins the success its authors expected it tobe. mg to him the railroads on each other, and the big ship pers who beneht by rebates and other illegal practices won’t inform on the railroads. All this is very natural. The law was enacted on the principle that these people would not do the fair thins - , audit was proposed . to force them . to . it. Tho remedy is to make the law better. Mr. Powderly says he is alto¬ gether happy. The Knights Labor are neither bankrupt nor j extinct, but art gi owing stronger both financially and numerically.
