—POPE.
The Claims of a Great School.
The Georgian la In sympathy with tho noeda and as
pirations of every school In Georgia, public and private.
Wo believe In education, because we believe In youth and
because we believe In the future ot the state.
There never came to our ears an appeal from an edu
rational Institution which did not reach our sympathy,
and U our purses had been long enough, they would have
received our substantial aid.
We believe In a liberal and generous policy on tho
part of the lawglveri of the atate toward every educa
tional Institution which the state has In care. We
bellcvo that to the very limit of the capacity ot the
state's means and equipment It should help to build the
educational Institutions for men and women which look
to It for support, and we are quite confident} that no
people and no constituency wilt ever criticise or con
demn a public servant who deals In large mid-intelligent
generosity toward every educational Institution of
Georgia.
But while we speak In theae general terms', there Is
an institution which for many reasons Is peculiarly nenr
to our Interest and affection. The Georgia Normal and
Industrial School at MlHedgeville Is the only Institution
In this state given up exclusively to the education of our
young women In the Industrial arts and sciences that en
able them to be self-sustaining In the world. Along
this lino It makes tho highest and most practical appeal
to tho Judgment and the patriotlani of every father, of
every mother nnd of every public-spirited citizen In tho
state. No school In Georgia of any grade or kind de
serves more at the hands of tho state than, this girls’
Industrial Institute at Mllledgevllle, and this not less bo
causo of lta unique and Isolated devotion to this phase
of our young womon's development, but because of tho
splendid merit and the magnificent work of the school.
This Mllledgevllle school Is equal to any of Its kind
In tho country, and In proportion to Its equipment wo do
not hesitate to call It tho very best ot Its kind. Its fac-^
ulty. carefully reorganized and steadily Improved from
year to yoar. Is now as completo, ns harmonious, ns ably
equipped and aa effective a corps of teachers as can be
found In the South. Its work Is ot the very highest and a man who Is now known to havo been entirely In-
grade, nna the consecration and capacity ot lta Inetruc- nocent ot the charges laid against him was sent to the
tors Is beyond cavil or criticism- most foorful and Ignominious punishment a devilish
Tho school In Us present status Is overcrowded and | ingenuity could devise. In tho manly fortitude which
inadequate to the Increasing demands which are being sustained him throughout the trying ordeal, we have had
that the counsel for these bonds has made It clear that quarter Contributed to th<- household expenses? Welter still, perhaps, she might have bought twent
they do not come under the same category as tho Bullock jaro to assume that she succeeded In reaching her future I worth of plain food and cooked It on the hearth
bonds, and that the debt could not have been Incurred
In the aid of rebellion, since It was authorized and In
curred nearly fifteen months before the secession ordl
nance, and even a longer time before the first gun
Fort Sumter. It seems perfectly plain that 'the arms
were purchased to protect the state against the antici
pated dangers of a raid of outside fanatics or an upris
ing of the slaves within the state.
Under those circumstances, the debt appears to ev
ery right thinking man to be one of peculiar and binding
force upon the honor and the sentiment ot the state. The
emergency that called for It was of a startling nature
and born of an apprehension that wsb shared by every
state In the South. The guns, while not bought for
purposes of rebellion, were afterwards In tho early days
of the war, put Into hands of the Confederate soldiers,
who fought for their country and who were so scantily
equipped for the battle. >
Gallant old General Phil Cook, Introducing George
Mattingly In 1876 to the'members of the Georgia legists
ture, said: "It Is quite probable that I entered the ser
vice with one of theso guns on my back, and If ao,
would like for It to be paid for,” and we earnestly be
lieve that this sentiment represents tho average senti
ment of the Confederate soldier of that time and Of his
honest descendants of today.
It seems strange, that In the consideration of this
honorable debt, constitution makers should go out of
their way to raise this question of rebellion, when It Is
so remote and ao far away from the queatlon. It would
seem that they might well afford to leave such objections
to those who were not so richly dowered with the mem
orles of the Confederate war.
Once before the editor of The Georgian has given
his strong editorial Indorsement to the payment of this
honest claim. We sincerely believe that It ought to be
paid. We sincerely believe that It Is n Just debt. We
sincerely believe that It is a debt of honor. Wo recall
tho fact that this was perhaps the only question ot their
generation upon which Bob Toombs, Alexander Stephens,
Benjamin Hill and Joe Brown were all ot one mind—that
Georgia fairly owed this debt and should fully pay It.
We. cannot understand why the state should hesitate
upon a patter whose appeal seem* so clear and so Irre
sistible. We cannot believe that the rich and prosper
ous Georgia of 1906 will fall to pay out of her fullness
nnd her old white repute this small debt Incurred In a
period of apparently vita! danger to the Isolated and ap
parently beleaguered Georgia of 1859.
Unless the facts of this case are all misstated, and
this we do not believe, we cannot fall to fael that thp
integrity of this state Ts at issue in the prompt and
hearty discharge of a Just and honorable obligation.
Dreyfus Acquitted
Wo havo followed with appropriate comment tho ap-
poal of Captain Dreyfus to tho supreme court of France
to'annul the sentence ot tho Rennes court martial which
found him guilty.
But now that the decision ot tbu court Is definitely
known nnd tho greatly persecuted victim, who was made
vicarious Bscriflco for the sins of tho French army,
has been definitely and finally acquitted of the charges
laid against him, the occasion seems to call for an addi
tional word.
The whole n(Tulr Inis bnn oiio of the crimes of the
age. Forgery nnd perjury reeked throughout the trial
innde upon Its rolls. Four hundred and ten girls were
enrolled and nobly taught at this school during the past
scholastic year. Over one hundred and ten glrla were
turned away from Its doors because there was no rhom
for them nnd no place for them to stay or to study.
This siuglo statement tells the tile ot the state's
opportunity and of the state's duty,
In these days women mesn ns much as men. They
work In nil the lines In whleh men work, they Isbor,
they create, they sustain, they support other people,
nnd they are Indlspcnsablo and Indestructible factors In
the commercial warp and woof of our state existence.
Under theso circumstances, our obligation to the
young women of the state Is as great as our obligation
to our young men, and we respectfully present to the
gentlemen of the legislature that, however sensitive they
may be, and a* they always are toward the appropriation
of money for lnatltuUons ot any kind, that they can make
no mistake and do no wrong If, under all tho circum
stances that surround this noble and effective Institution,
they will promptly, generously and heartily concede to
Its president and Its faculty an additional appropriation
which shall be needed to accommodate the girls of Geor
gia who at preaent are clamoring earnestly and unan
swered at Its doors.
A Case of Ante-Bellum Honor.
There Is a curious and Interesting claim pending be
fore tho present legislature, which has the distinct flavor
of reminiscence of the ante-bellum period ot the South.
Just after the senaatlonal raid ot old John Brown, of
Ossowatomle, through Virginia, there was a very distinct
feeling of apprehension fait throughout the South over
a possible repetition of this raid from other fanatics, and
much more probably from certain instigated uprisings
of the slaves. •
Founded upon this feeling, the state legislature ot
1859 authorised Oovernor Joseph E. Brown, then In the
executive chair, to purchase from the 8harps Rifles
Company In the North a sufficient equipment of guns
to arm the entire militia of the atate tor defense against
either ot these anticipated dangers.
Governor Brown put the order Into execution,
bought and distributed the guns, paid one-halt cash for
them, and iaaued bonds to pay for the others, payable In
1880. When the time came for the maturity .of these
bonds, they were either rejected or discredited by the
legislature of that period, and have never up to this
time been paid.
Hon. Benjamin H. Hill !• now preuing upon the leg
islature the claim tor the unpaid halt of the bonds Issued
tor these guns. The Sharps Rifles Company disposed ot
the bonds to George Mattingly, ot Washington, D. C,
thirteen years before they were due. Mattingly was a
Confederate soldier living In the valley of Virginia, and
was the friend of John B. Gordon, Thomas M. Norwood,
and Alexander Stephens
The history of these bonds and of their successive
treatment by Georgia legislatures Is both Interesting and
'astonishing. For one reason or- another, they have al
ways been rejected or their payment postponed, and up
to the present time this apparently just and appealing
debt of honor baa never been discharged.
The opponents of the measure have been Inclined to
place their repudiation upon the same basis as the repu
diation ot the Bullock bonds, and to tall back upon ths
theory that it Is contrary to the fourteenth amendment to
pay any debt “Incurred In aid ot rebellion."
U appears to The Georgian as an Impartial observer
n practical Illustration ot the extent to which the con
■clousness of Innocence may actually lend courage and
atrength. This feeling kept him alive during the tortures
of his Imprisonment It restrained his hand when
loaded revolver was purposely left within easy reach
as the only means of escape from his agony ot mind
and body. And when at last his friends secured for
him another hearing and a subsequent‘pardon, this feel
ing prompted him to keep up the fight until he
cured an acquittal and the restoration of all his honors,
He stands absolve^ before the world and all his
suffering Is counted unto him for righteousness. He has
given n lesson to mankind which was not born to die.
The ultimate triumph of Integrity, the justice that has
finally prevailed, the rebuke that hat been administered
to offenders In high places, all contribute to a more
hopeful and wholesome sentiment by which tho world
cannot fall to profit-
Work and Wealth.
Mayor Thompson, of Kalamasoo—where the celery
comes from—Is a man of wealth and Importance, at In
dicated not only by bla official position but by many
other collateral facta He Is a leading cltisen In ‘that
community In every way.
But be has some very decided Ideas as to raising
boys and he haa started out to do the work well.
He wants them to learn the value of money, so that
when they come Into their fortunes In after years they
will know how to utilise It to the best advantage. As
a consequence the passers-by on the streets ot Kalama
soo may at any time see these two boys, sons ot the may
or, actually engaged In laying the pavements ot the city,
which happens to be one of the municipal Improvements
now In progress. No distinction Is made between them
and any of the other day laborers who are engaged In
the same work and their father does not want any such
distinction made.
He hopes that when they have passed through auch
experiences gi the present, and have literally earned their
bread In the sweat of tbelr brow, they will grow up man
lier and better for the ordeal. There can be no doubt
that he la right If other men ot wealth pursued the
same policy there would be lees sorrow In tho world-
There 'would be comparatively little of the dissipation
and extravagance which are born ot Idleness and luxury.
It would prevent many of the crimes which cumber the
dockets of ths courts and bring untold misery on the hu
man race.
Skill and Industry are as essential to preserve and
properly use large fortunes as to accumulate them, but
the world as a rule presents a pitiful spectacle of the de
generate sons of worthy and hard working sires. After
all It should be borne In mind that t
"This is the master key:
Skilled hands and Industry.”
The Grounds of Non-Support
A Baltimore woman Is ailing her husband for non
support. They have been married five years and she tes
tifies that during that time be haa contributed just 26
cents to her support
This he gave her Immediately after the marriage In
order to pay her car fare home..
This American equivalent of "the nimble shilling"
Is not much to support a family on for five yean. She
would have had to borrow the widow's cruae and Alad
din's lamp and the amphorae of Cana to make this quar
ter ot a dollar last five years.
As a practical tact what did she do with that first
home with 5 cents, the unentailed remainder being 20 of the good old Puritans started out that way and final-
cents. What disposition she made of this money might' ly cut quite a figure In life. Or she might have taken
throw a vast deal of light on her husband's failure or j warning from the career of Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown
refusal to contribute more to the household expenses. I and taken thought of the day “when tho rent comes
Was It laid out as the first payment on a patent churn. rounV
bought on the Installment plan. In the hope of some day
being able to purchase a cow to fit It? Did she Invest
It In a twenty-dollar plush album for the front parlor. In
the hope that some vague St Nicholas would drop a
center table and a divan In her stocking at the end of
the year?
There are those who are ready to contend that she
should have used this money toward buying a stove. Bet-
Now, In point of fact, which of these many things
did she do with that 25 cents?
It would be Interesting to know, as a study of sociol
ogy, but on the whole if the husband has really con
tributed only two dimes toward the household expenses
In five years, the same being four cents a year, he Is
probably guilty of non-support and should be doomed
to live alone all the rest of bis days.
