ii (N. C.) Messenger of Au-
EACH RACE TO PAY IT8 SCHOOL
TAX..
The bitter light between Messrs.
Pn lth end Howell hae eo overehedowed
everythin* elee connected with the
Democratic primary campaign In Geor-
gi.' that people, outside of the atate
at least, have foat sight of the fact that
other 'candidates are In the campaign.
One of these la making a canvass
which, but for the sensational Hmlth-
H o veil contest, would attract much at
tention because of the platform on
which he la running, If not for any
other reason. This la Hon. Mark John
ston, of Baldwin county, who la a can
didate for office of state school com
missioner. He advocates division of
the school tag fund between the races
according to tha amount paid by each
race. His motto la: "White man's tax
for white man's children," and with
this on his banner he la marching
through Georgia urging the white men
to stand by him In the primary elec
tlon. Dr. Johnston's candidacy Is of
more vital Importance to the people of
Georgia than that of the men at the
head of the ticket, for he Is running on
a principle which, If Indorsed by the
people In his nomination, will mean
that they favor this plan of division of
the school tax, and It will put Georgia
In the lead of the Southern states In
revolutionising the public school ays
tern. Dr. Johnston Is a physician, high'
ly educated and a most accomplished
gentleman, of good old Georgia stock,
the son and grandson of noted edu
cators of that state. There are many
advocates of Dr. Johnston's platform
In North Carolina.

^GOSSIP OF-
STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS
When Mr. Covington, of Colquitt,
rose Saturday to urge the passage of
the Gordon monument bill he took a
<I'T]> breath and cut loose. In It sec-
bnda and 1 minute he wna neck-deep
In history and reaching out for heroes
of mythology.
Mr. Covington said Gordon was n
hero. So were the soldiers who had
(>ught under him and so were the
Spartans at Thermopylae. In passing
he referred Incidentally to Hannlbul,
end paid a tribute to Alexander the
Great. He dwelt upon the virtues of
X . eoleon and brought that warrior's
i“ enty centuries remarks down to
date. Then he got his second wind nnd

Harden of Eden It was the Sphinx gat

and Nlcodemu* and then brought his
ten minutes to a climax by giving
prominent mention to Hameses, Laer-
tee Thucydides, Demosthenes and Fe-

"Mr.'Speaker, 1 move the previous

cigarette. After remarking that he
must break himself of that habit alnee
the cigarette haa been medo an out
cast by the legislature, he began to
discuss the Gordon monument bill,
then under discussion beyond the
closed doors, nnd of his own bill to
erect n monument to Oglethorpe,
tron saint of 8avannah.
"I want all you boyn to vote for that
monument If It comes up again," hs
said. -It will be your last opportunity
to erect a monument to the memory
of Plena Stovall and me. After this
year our nnmes will be In oblivion."
"Why don't you tack on your monu
ment as an iimendment to this Gordon
bill?" asked another metnbgr.' ."Then
we'll either kill both of them or put
them both through. Better hurry."
The gentleman from Chatham made
n run for Ills desk and looked buay for
a while. But the Gordon monument
bill was burdened with no amendment
whep It went through. Mr. Anderson
evidently did not act on the suggestion.
