WILL THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY DEAL JUSTLY WITH OUR COMMON SCHOOLS? (Editorial By R. C. J. Dickens, Editor tn the Vldalln Advance.) Will the general assembly of Georgia do Its duty to the common schools In the appropriation for educational 'pur« poses at lie present seeelonT Thle le an Important question to the people away out here In the country. But wo are not asleep on the question of edu cation. The great appeals for large appropriations for tho state's higher educational Institutions lead the ileople to ask the commtttoe on appropriations! to seriously consider some things. It Is of the utmost Importance that] the staff care for her common schools. Never tn the history of the South was such Interest being manifested In the common schools os for the last few years. The people are aroused on the subject and Georgia must not lag be hind other atatea In amply providing for her common schools. When you consider that the people In rural dis tricts ore taxing themselves as never before to maintain schools, you must concede that the state should stand by them at nil hasards. Then think, gen tlemen, of tho increase of children and you caa not afford to allow approprla- tlons to decrease. Loral taxation has proven n prac tical and successful experiment for tho common schools, but It does not solve the problem because many counties do not vote It. and even when they do, It does not piovtde for the rural schooln In many places In keeping with their need. Therefore, direct provision for these schools by the legislature Is the only hope for them. The legislature has no more serious problem to con front It than the appropriations for the common schools. This Idltor be lieves ni higher education by the state, but we have come to think seriously bow the higher Institutions are pro vided for at the unjust expense of the common schools. For Instance, to es tablish the district agricultural colleges all the fees from oil and fertilisers were taken from the common school fund and given to these schools. And now they propose to raise the lax on fer tilisers. Now, gentlemen, If you do thut you must give the common schools at least t# of the 25 per cent fee, Remember this, please. i . And now the common schools are to lose 3212,000 of tax from whisky. This they lirse without complaint. Will the legislature take care of tho common schools?

Jersey City, N. J. St. Lents, Mo. u ISOM what he wanted to do In his campaign speeches, and he hna aucceeded In get ting what the railroads call "drastic legislation.'' How shrewd some of this Is may be gathered from the fact that tho ratl- vraya asked for a restraining order against these acts, but overlooked that rtne Under Whose provisions thekeeft- tary, of state of Alabama acted Frida; Governor “Insulted." Governor Comer never loees en op portunity to talk against the railroads, and It wna that, primarily, that caused him to be "Insulted," os he termed It, by the Alabama Press Association when the organisation met In Mont gomery last month. I do not believe the true story of the affair has been printed. 1 do not mean that any news paper kept the truth out o'' but that the whole stogy orally known. I was there during the proceedings. Just before the aseoclatlon adjourned on the morning of the first day of the convention EdTtor Williams, of Talla dega. Ala., otrersd a resolution that “the privilege of ths floor" be extended to Governor Comer. That was done, and Mr. Williams and Jacob Pepper- man. secretary of the association, no tified the governor. Governor Comer reached the Com mercial Club, where the association was holding Its meetings.^ about 3 o'clock. It waa expected that a meet ing would be held at that time, but only a few of the members appeared, and before Oovemur Comer arrived It had been decided to meet that night nnd transact the business scheduled for the afternoon. Governor Comer come In, however, and was Introduced. Ho said he was glad to meet tho editors, although they had not supported him during hie campaign. In three minutes he waa flaying them for falling to sup-' port his admfnistratlon. Governor Comer Talks. President Nlel Interrupted the gov ernor. , "If you are going to moke a speech, governor, wouldn't It bs better to talk to us when w« were tn session? It I4n't fair to visit the alna of the as sociation on the few of ug here." Governor Coiner admitted' that, but kept on talking until Interrupted again with the same suggestion. Thfcn he' turned to President Nlel. "If you are not 'Joking, and really want me to speuk to the association tonight, I will do so,” said ho. Mr. Nlel said, he thought that If a speech was to be made ft should be delivered before the association. Gov. ernor Comer looked pleased and said: "Then I will bo here at 8 o’clock tonight." He was. His first sentence crltisUed the annual report of President NteL The sentences that followed critlslxed the work of nearly every editor in the state. He said that the Ignorance of most of them was umaxtng, because they were fighting bills that he fnVored and he knew, he wna right. Hot Resolution. When the governor eat down, Editor Greer got up. He wae one of the few men In the hall during the' afternoon. He was confident, he said later, that the governor would talk at night the same way ho had early in the even ing, and therefore he had prepared the rt solution which made, Governor Co mer writhe, ond turn from pale to pur ple. Mr. Greer said after the meeting that had Governor Comer not Insulted the press association In his speech tha resolution never would have been pre sented. And today Mr. Greer cannot see how he or the aseoclatlon Insulted the governor with those same resolu tion* Neither can anybody else who wasn't there. It was Mr. Greer's In tonation that hurt. Those resolutions were toet in thn mass of substitutes that followed litem. The records of the Alabama Preag As sociation fall to show they ever wen- presented. Tho minutes say that Gov ernor Comer addressed the members and that he was thanked In a resolu tion. Just before leaving the hall, Govern or Comer said that he had been In sulted ns he nover had been before tn his life. He said the Press Association hod treated hint us he would not treat a dog. The meeting waa mute under this -arraignment, and there waa no sound aa tha governor left the room. Coroner Finds'Rolls of Mon ey Hid Away In Cracks of Cabin. Special to The Georgian. Asheville, N.

Nippon Yoke Now on Korea Seoul, Aug. I.—The Japanese have the city In good control today.

The Japanese authorities arc now proceeding on the assumption that If the leaders of the rebellious Koreans nhe Imprisoned, their followers will be. come meek and submissive.

A New Baby! What magio, what mystery, what charm these words have “ for us. Yet, how infinitely more they mean to the mother. A new life* short, to be sure, but full of possibilities. Some one must be patient, hopeful, watohftil, proud and never discouraged. That “some one” is the mother. She has heard her baby’s first cry, and whether it be her first or tenth, the feeling is the same. Her feeble arms are out-stretched; those arms that will-never desert it as long as th6 mother shall live. And that hand which supports the head of the new-born babe, the mother’s hand, supports the civilization of the world, Is it any wonder, we ask you; mothers, that with all these responsibilities resting upon your all too weak shoulders, we urge upon you the necessity of selecting .the babe’s medicine with utmost care; the necessity of protecting your babe from worthless, unknown and narcotic drags as you would protect it from the fire?
