Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
is the standard family remedy
of tho world for colds, coughs
and lung diseases. It is not a
palliative, and is not therefore
put up in small cheap bottles.
It is put up in large bottle 3

Last Wednesday was memorial
day and it was fittingly observed
throughout the State. The Gov
ernor made the memorial address
sit Jonesboro, It was in the bat
ile of Jonesboro that he lost an
eye.
Tlie following officers were elect
by the Georgia Kpworth League
conference at Columbus, for the
ensuing year: President, W. P.
Wallis, of Americas; First vice
president, J. Bailey Gordon, of
Rome; .Second vice president, Miss
Elmyr Taylor, of Macon; Third
vice president, Mrs. Minnie L.
Parker, of Brunswick: Secretary,

Treasurer, Mr. Berner, of Waynes

The Ninth International Sun¬
day School Association has been
in session in Atlanta this
Thousands of delegates from far
and near are in attendance and
the proceedings watched from with day to day in
are being school eager workers
terest by •Sunday
and Christians generally through
out the country. Hon. Hoke
Smith, of Atlanta, has been
imously elected President of
Association winch is an admirable
compliment to the State as well
to Mr. Smith. The Associa¬
is a most important institu
lion and is doing a great and good
work.
If bitter denunciation would
kill, the people of Georgia would
be dead. The leading papers
and East have exhausted
their vocabularies in saying hard
things of the southern people and
especially the people of Georgia,
as a result of the burning of Hose
or Holt at Newnan last Sunday.
they were in closer touch with the
fiendish and horrible crimes winch
lead to lynching, and condemn m this case
burning they would less
vigorously, and perhaps even svm
pathizb to some extent-, with
who must deal with brutes in
man form.

SCHOOL FUNDS VXD OTHER MATTERS.
The school funds for the year
1898 came to the C. S. Commis
si oner in four equal quarterly in
stallments of $1489.07 each,
During the year 1898 there were
^ county 20 white, 15 colored
and the city 8 county schools line and schools $589j.6l Jiesidos of
the funds wore paid to the teachers.
The incidental or irregular ex
peaces of the year amounted to
$129.74 This included $5(1.00
a ' . These
incidental expences are itemized
and certified to by the C, S. Com¬
missioner and then approved by
the Board before being paid.
The census of the children of
school age in the county, taken
last spring, showed 2259 children
of school age in the county, 458 of
which were in the city of Conyers,
The funds come to the county and
a re distributed to the city in pro
portion to the school population.
There seem8 to be in the minds
of some a wrong impression as to
the duties of the officers
ing the School Bureau of the State.
Some seem to look upon the State
School Commissioner, the
School Board, the 187 Oounty
School Commissioners and 685
members of County Boards of
ucation as only distribute so many the men ap¬
pointed to school
funds. This idea is very errone¬
ous and misleading. The C. S.
Commissioner of each county, in
the eyes of the law, is as much a
superintendent of the schools in
his jurisdiction as the superintend
ent of any city system of
\Ye are afraid that members of
school boards sometimes forget
this fact. His work should be of
an educational nature and not
merely that of a distributing agent.
Our schools will never be what
they ought to lie, nor what the
law contemplates they shall be,
until the people and school boards
are convinced that the C. S. Com¬
missioner should be a real super¬
intendent of the county’s schools.
