m i ■■
* fey a ruling of the Board of Ed
ucation at its last session the Com
missioner was directed to close out
any school whose average attend
ance runs down below 50 per cent,
for a reasonable length of time,
two weeks or more, or he might
continue the school by reducing
the salary according to average at
tendance, and so far the people all
over the county have expressed
their approval of the order of the:
Board of Education; and while i
some of the monthly reports have
fallen down rather L> w Ido hope
the people will consider this mat
ter seriously and not keep their
Children out of school and thereby
rob them of the money expended
lor them and of their opportuni
ties to get an education. So far
the prospects for a successful
school year has been very batter
ing and I do so much want the
the school interest in Dade this
year to surpass all former years in
the history of the common schools
inthis county, both in point of at
tendance and class work done. I
believe the teachers thoughout the
couiny are doing their very best
and are equal if not above in point
ot ability and service to any we
have had in years. I am real
proud of the outlook. I have just
visited Miss Lucy Warmack ami
Miss Mattie Brown,schools at Byrd’s
Chapel ami New Salem, respective
ly, alid they are both doing excel
lent work, ami 1 am well pleased
with tlnm as 1 am of all the. rest
of the schools throughout the
county. ] will close this hy earn
estly insisting on the patrons of
the schools to stand by your teaeh
eis this year and the results will be
iyell that you will be proud of.
Your obedient smvant,

Our County Congressional Com
mitteeman Mr. \V. G. Morrison is
very angry because we published
What he had , to say about \V, J.
lb van as a presidential candidate,
in our last issue of this paper, and
he promised to slap our -‘ja#*” if
we ever put his name in our paper
again in connection with polities,
dust why “Budy” .should get so
very angry v/<i uio at a loss to
know. He has a perfect right to
be against Bryan if he is not a
democrat, but we question his
Good Roads
The United States department of
commerce and labor has just issued
a statement concerning the money
saving represented in good roads.
In this pamphlet it is computed
that vefy often the cost of hauling
farm produce to the nearest rail
road station is much greater than
would have been the cost of ship
ping the same produce acioss the
continent by railroad.
Mow is it possible that the rail
roads can haul this produce such
enormous distances for less money
than a farmer can load it into his
wagon and take it to the nearest
railroad station.
It is because the railroads spend
in good times millions of dollars
annually in getting and keeping
their roadbeds in good shape, so
that the hauls can be made not only
on a time saving basis, but with
the least fuel consumption and the.
smallest output of energy possible
! The same cheapness of tranepor
tation could he applied to the high
ways of Georgir with the proper a
mount of attention on the road of
these people interested in better
roads. There is hardly a class of
people in the state that is not dir
ectly interested in the betterment
of roads. The farmer, is, of course
nearest in touch wi h roads good or
bad, and receives the first results
from them, beneficial or evil, as
he case may be. He is the man
whose home has to be reached by
the wagon road. He must bring his
produce out from the farm by the
road to the railroad station it not
to the market, and his supplies,
such ns he cannot raise, have got to
go to his farm over the same road.
The keeping up of the city markets
depends on the coeapness and facil
ities the farmer has for getting to
town with his crop. So for purely
business reasons the good rotd is
an absolute necessity.
As everyone is interested in this
matter of g od roads, it does look j
as if the desired thorough fares
could be secured with united action
on the part of the people.:There is
the nation and state from which
appropriations could be drawn, in !
addition to the expenditure each
individual would make Under the
above conditions, which are highly
practical, the entire country could
be equipped with a system of good
roads, equal to those of the older j
countries ot Europe.
The money actua ly wasted in
state and national appropriations
would build a system of roads that
the country would he proud ot and |
the people enjoy.—Macon News.
Reward
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
For four thousand citizens o!

manifest at least some interest in
improving our public roads.
Anyone can suggest, but that

Our people were made sad on
Sunday last, when it w'as announced
that uncle Gabe Chambers was and ad
Mr. Chambers was for mmy
years a citizen of Dade county
where he made many warm friends
as was demonstrated by the gather
ing of a large crowd of young and
old, at the Tounsend cemetaiv near
Wildwoad, and was there waiting
with heavy hearts, for the arrival
of the procession, with the remains
to pay the last tribute of respect to
one they had loarned to love.
Mr. Chambers was seventy nine
yeaps old, one of our oldest and
most loyal citizens, he w r as a soldi
er in the Confederate army, where
he bravely fought, and would have
willingly died, in defense of our
Southland, that he so well loved.
Mr. Chambers was in feeble heal
th for more than a year, but he was
a patient sufferer, never was heard
to murmer or complain, hut spoke
cheerfully of his hope beyond,
where our feet will never grow
weary nor our voices fault *r, nor
our eyes graw dim, ut where our
strength will lie renewed, iike the
eagle we will soar to higher height-*
and greater joys. Ju t at twelve
o'clock we were engaged in funeral
services, conducted hy Rev. Wiley
pastor of the M. E. church, south.,
at Highland Park, near which place
Mr Chambers died. The services
were very impressive, and many in
couraging words were spoken to
comfort the bereaved family and
friends. Hut the thought ti nt slum
Id interest us most is the fact that
we are traveling toward eternity
and these emblems of mo ality
should cause us to prepare to m i t
our God, and when the time comes
when we must s:iy goodbye to our
loved ones on earth, we can also
say, meet me in heaven.

two young citizens of Rising Fawn
and said to them: “If you can’t
vote for my brother-in-law for
Ordinary; vote for Tom Fuller,”
(one of these citizens is too young
to vote.) Well, if Mr. Morrison
has a brother in-law that is a can
didate for Orbinary, ; he has never
published the fact in the county
paper, and uliereforc many people
do not know lor sure that he is a
candidate. ü ßudy” also said to
these young citizens of liiiing Fawn
in substance, that he would make
an effort to control the next grand
ury. Now, personally, we have
naught against “Body.” He is a
big-hearted, good farmer, when
things go his way, and we are very
sorry he threatens us with violence
when we publish the truth.
If our face is too sore for us to
write next week you may know the
veasoii why.
