Yk£E SCHOOLS I:- CLJRCL'
lo looking over the tong lint <>f hum
hug -2 that ihe uei king peop e of Georgia
have t" support, we see standing at the
head, even of the Agricultural
the gnuulC?) Free School system ! For a
suinher of years it has been carried on
in this State, bolstered up by n en who
hold office made by its exit fence and
the lovers oi Our Brother iu Black’ at
the North. What: are its workings in
Georgia, a „d uho what receives , are those the , benefits . benefits? R . dimmed ,
have in Georg a something ° ver 9 °;°°
negro voters and about 120,000 white
voters. No more than 5 ° or 60 thousand
negroes pay their poll tax wine nearly
every white man pays his- This nmney
goesintotbe school fund, two-fifths °f j
which is drawn out to larger educate than negro j
children—an amount was
paid by every net ro voter in the Stale.
One huudred aud fifty thousand dollars
are paid into the school fund from the
State road—two-fifths, or 60 ,000 dollars
of this money goes to the education of
the negro—an amount tar greater than j
the taxes they pay on all their real estate
professions, aud all special taxes. a:
considerable amount from the sale oL
whisknv gees into th ; school fund. M ho |
pu>Btbi»? M idle we may feel an on
pleasantness in acknowledging the fact,
ucsay that | of it Is paid by the whit, j
people of Georgia. lake the seven ;
largest cities ui our State and the■ sa*e ,
of whiskey to the whites bungs a larger
revenue than is derived from toe whoie
negro population. Take e r ery_ dollar 1
that the negro pays into the school fund
and towards the support of the general
government and you will :iu»l that he
draws more lor the education of his
young ones than tbe wliole amount* Jsj
there any justice to the white race in
this system ? Is it right for u« to pay
hundreds of thousands of dollars for the
support of tho genera! government oi
our state which protects a'ike the negro
aud us, aud gives to the negro the right j
to vote, hold 1 flue, and er.j y ait kinds
of protections, while he pays not a cent,
but receives more, over and above what ;
iie pays in, for education? AY What hat justice dem- j
is there in such a system? J
agoguery is there in the men who so
vehemently support it! Giving equal
rights iu a government to a low, inferior
race that pays not a cent towards its
inaintainance and schooling their chil
then to boot! It is ridiculous and the
most outragous fraud ever perpetrated
upon a decent people. The free school
system should be wiped out of our
State. The taxes paid by tlie negroes
should go towards the support of the
laws that give them liberty and protec
tion; then if they could no' educate them
selves let the distiuguished(?) author of
“Our Brother in Black’, and the fawning
sycophants who so delight in making
northern speeches, glorying in the down¬
fall of the confederacy-, and the hundreds
of little ten cent speakers that are heard
over the land ’at school examinations
and other places pleading for their edu¬
cation. take them in charge. The far¬
mers of Georgia aie carrying upon their
shoulders heavy burdrns of taxes to sup¬
port lliis government; their child en
can not receive the education they other¬
wise would ; and the negroes are reeeiv
’ ing the benefits. We say it is not right,
and the farmers and working men of
this county and of every other county
in the State will demand an over¬
throw of any such a system. It is the
work of the demagogue, fostered and en
couraged by the haters of tho white
people of tbe South, at the North. The
true people of Georgia are not ashamed
of the lost cause; they do not endorse
the dirty, lying productions of “Our
Brother in Black;" they do not favor
negro quality in any of its forms; they
do not believe in protecting negroes and
giving them all privileges free of cost,
and they will never so believe. The
six millions of dirty negroes in America
may be the brother of Atticus G. Hay
good, but they are not 'he brothers and
sisters of the white people of Georgia!
E»an P. Howell may be glad th i South
was whipped and rejoice in the furling
of our glorious banner for right, but
the true men of Georgia are not! Dem¬
agogues may howl that they are in favor
of furnishing the negro a government
free and educating lum for nothing, but
the hard -working farmers and mechanics
of Georgia are not. If there is any men
in our midst who can show the good of
the present tree school system we would
be glad to hear from him. Our columns
are open free of charge.
Hon- I.on Livingston says, in conver¬
sation with a Constitution reporter, that
the Agricultural Bureau of Georgia ! s
not only sustaining, but pays $;o,oo0
into the Stste treasury—dividend from
the inspection ol fertilizers above the
oostef ruuning the Bureau- We would
like tojask the Senator who actually pays
these inspection fees ? Do not the man¬
ufacturers of fertilizers count in inspec¬
tion fees as a part of the cost of produc¬
tion and placing their goods on the mar¬
ket ? Certainly they do ; therefore, the
$40,000 that goes into the treasury to
educate the negroes, and $20,000 that
goes to keep up Jack Henderson, his
kinsfo’k and the dodgasted but the Bnieau, ridden are
wrung out of nobody they receive tax benefit.
farmers. And no
We have talked with over twenty of our
farm rs and not one says he has ever
been benefitted by it. We now ask all
of our farmers who have been benefitted
by t»iis g r t*nf Bureau to repo»t us in what
way and how much.
