Candler on Public Schools. President Candler, of Emory college, Oxford, Ga,, made an ad¬ dress before the Putnam county Farmers' Alliance the other day, in which he took strong ground in favor of the appropriation public schools of public in funds for the preference to the colleges. In be¬ ginning bis address, he spoke tak¬ of the great interest now being by en in educational matters the people of Georgia. The educa¬ tional interests were formerly few cared for by comparatively but nearly people, lie said, now everybody felt that education was n matter which concerned him personally, either directly or in¬ directly, and the desire of the people was that the masses should be educated. The colleges public must not be noglected, be given but the the prefer¬ schools must ence. New England followed this policy from the first, he said, and today the conmioli schools of that section are better than those of any other, and the colleges are better equipped. Mr. Candler undertook to show how much money had been appropriated schools, by the state much for the for public the State Uni¬ and how versity, and he said that Connec¬ ticut bad never given Yale college as much as Georgia had given the university from 1830 to 1841, and that with the start which the state has given the university that in¬ stitution ought to be able to move ahead for awhile, and allow the public schools to have more at¬ months tention. public “We schools should in have Georgia,’ eight he said. “They will cost not far from $2,000,000 annually. Mass¬ achusetts, with Georgia a population by about ex¬ ceeding that of 250,000 souls, and with a school population less than that of Geor¬ gia by about 90,000 children, giv¬ es upward of $4,000,000 ..Georgia annually to lier common schools. must soon begin building school houses. The country schools are miserable houses in many cases. Except for school for houses college erected buildings, in and cer¬ tain cities, towns and counties by local taxation, I do not believe Georgia lias spent a dollar for school buildings in fifty years. If the state has done so, it lias en¬ tirely escaped my notice: Mr. Candler’s address is being and circu¬ lated doubt in it pamphlet do good. form, It is no will on the light line. All cider brother of the editor of the Star was captured during the great battle of Atlanta, on July 22, 1854, and carried as a prisoner of war to Camp Chase, Ohio. Only one hitter was re¬ ceived from him after his arrival at Camp Chase, and from that time to the present nothing de¬ finite or reliable has ever been heard from him, though many efforts have been made to do so. John H. Levy of Columbus, O., who was recently on a visit to his brother, Capt. J. M. Levy of our city, promised to investigate the matter upon his return home and see what information he could get from the prison re¬ cords. On Thursday last a letter was received from Mr. Levy with the following transcript from the prison records inclosed: “E. B. Anderson, Company E. Thirty fourth Georgia infantry, died Oct. 10, 18G4, and interred in grave 294, section 10, Camp Chase cemetery." Of course this settles the matter and manner of his death and burial. Mr. Levy writes that there are 2,260 con¬ federates buried in Camp Chase cemetery* but that the head boards are all rotten and gone, the grounds are leveled and the graves are totally indistinguisha¬ ble. He thinks there will soon be an effort made by congress to have the graves cared for and marked with marble head-stones. —Covington Star.

In the course of time, probably will be in the next century, there a rush of immigration from the north and the northwest to the south. It will set in in earnest when the people of the north and northwest begin fo feel the pres sue of over-population, and it will be a movement of Americans, the descendants of foreigners who are now pouring into those sections by the hundreds of thousands. More than this, the immigrants will have gained a pretty accurate knowledge of the conditions that exist in the south. The vanguard of this immense army of immigrants is already the here, and may be found upon farms and in the factories and workshops. In upper Georgia the and in the table lands of all of southern states the effect of this movement, now in its incipiency, and the is beginning to be felt, as northern and northwestern people people come in, the colored will go out, for there is not be¬ tween these immigrants and the colored people that kindly perso¬ nal feeling which exist between the southern whites and blacks. Tin* workingmen and laborers of the first named sections will not work with the colored people. them, They do not give crowd way to them out. They however, but they the for are preparing They way those who are to come. are the men who have been sent into Canaan, so to speak, and they are giving and will continue to give good reports of the country.

Finite lias stalled a sub¬ scription list to raise money for making the graves of the 249 Georgia soldiers who are buried at Fredericksburg, Va. These soldiers' graves have been for twenty-six years taken cave of by the Ladies' Memorial Association of Fredericksburg, but they, are not marked. Maj. Foute asks that each member of the legisla¬ ture subscribe $1 or more to help these ladies “in their sacred work." Ex-Gov. Jarvis, of North Car¬ olina, has refused to be-president of the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College, be¬ cause he did not think that he was qualified to fill the position satisfactorily. A man may some¬ times decline a position like this, but ho doesn't decline political positions for any reason whatever.

The next congress being republican, Wyoming will be required to an¬ swer a certain question, viz: “Would you be a republican or a democratic state?” Wyoming’s chances of admission are not worth considering unless she can show that she would be reliably republican. Success does not consist in never making blunders, but in never making the same one the second time. The snake editor of the New York Evening Telegram is not a success.

The following true saying from one our exchanges may be read with profit by hundreds of our readers. It is worthy of your at¬ tention. The universal credit system which has prevailed in the south for the past twenty-five years has proven a curse instead of a blessing. Cheap credits and long credits have educated men, especially the agricultural classes, a long way from the responsibility of prompt payment and absolute¬ ly placed a license on rascality. We do not mean to say that it is a sin for a man to buy on a credit, far from it. But we do mean to say that promiscuous crediting has done and is still doing great injury to the masses of our peo¬ ple. How, somebody will ask, and we will answer that credit is too cheap. Cheap credit means high prices, and. high prices means a burden to men who are honest enough to pay their debts. In fact, they have to pay their debts of the mean loafer, who has no more sense of honor than a dog. He will buy like a prince of fortune and pay like a thief. Take us as a class, and we think too little about meeting our obligations promptly. If a note is due in a bank by a mer¬ chant, he has to hustle around and scrape up the money to pay it. If this rule prevailed among all classes of our people, it will prove infinitely to their advantage. Cheap credit encourages indo¬ lence in a certain measure. Men who can buy what they consume on a credit will not ho apt to ex¬ ert themselves to produce it. If they could not buy it, necessity would compel them to raise it. See the point of the argument, it is very plain to us. One of t ie greatest drawbacks to the credit system is that it effectually kills competition. Dealers who have immense a p ital sell at big profits, while tire cash man stands little showing to do a legitimate business. Here’s where the credit man gets left, and he ought to pay more for what he consumes than the man who saves his money and buys where he can get the cheap¬ est, and he ought to be kept poor for not having any more sense than to be a willing slave to any man.
