Our failure to pay this bill—now so long over due—calls for an explanation. We have not paid it because we do not think it was the intention of the law th»t it should be paid by the college, and no part of our funds are legally available for the purpose. In Section Xll of the law establishing tiie school (see Georgia i Laws of 1889,) occurs the following | passage : ‘‘After giving notice for 1 not less than two weeks, the Board I of Education in each county shall Montgomery, D F ascertain which of the applicants,” Miller, R H & c . the duty of ‘‘giving notice” Will you please let me know by return mail whether or not you will release us from tiiis payment'.'

J, HARRIS‘CHAPPELL. Brest. Georgia Normal A Industi College. Georgia Normal A Industrial CoLLKuk, Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 19, 1891. -Mr Ikchool Commis sioner of... County. My Dear •Silt: — 1 r (jives iiu’ pleasure to inform you that the Georgia Normal anil Industrial College is now fully or ganized and is doing splendid work in all its departments. I think 1 may sav without boasting that the institution is already a great suc cess and promises to fulfill in every particular the best expectations of its friends. We have now 187 pupils in attend ance, representing 72 counties in the state. 1 regret very much that your county is not represented. You are untitled to five scholarships and pay scholarships. 1 earnestly beg that you exert your self to have these vacancies idled by the 1st of next January. We expect a, large accession of pupils at that time and will form new classes. The State lias established and maintains this school at great ex pense, and we are extremely anx ious that it should do the greatest possible good to the greatest possi ble number of Georgia girls. Will you not co-opernt ? with me to bring about this result by inducing ear nest and worthy girls of your county to attend? I guarantee that every one who comes will lie delighted with the school and will be greatly benefitted by tiie excellent course of training and instruction that she will get here. A>1 of our present pu pils and patrons are very much pleased. I send you by to-day’s mail anoth er copy of our Prospectus, which you will please keep by you for ref erence. As tiie session is so far ad vanced you may dispense with tiie formality of the entrance examina tion in every case when you are sat isfied that the applicant is prepared to pursue with profit tiie course of study marked out in the curriculum. You will do me a favor by putting me in communication with any girl in your county whom you think may be persuaded to attend the school. Please let me hear from you soon. Yours fraternally, J.

If he remains in the field it is hard to escape the con clusion that the rest of the country will demand of New York that the ex-President be again selected to lead the democratic hosts. The west, however, can furnish ‘a candidate for the office of Vice-Presi dent on the Democratic ticket, and •■an very properly demand that Gov- ''I'uor Boies he given that position with Grover CleveiuDd on the nation al ticket.

Peterson, John Pace, Edmond Pritchard, Willis Sr and of appointing pupils was en | tirely in the hands of the county i Boards of Education and as the | scholarships were entirely for the benefit of the several counties, tiie inference naturally was thut the : expense of advertising would lie | paid by said Boards, out of the county "school funds. The cost would have fallen very lightly upon them, averaging less than five dollars to the county, a sum so small, that even the poorest county in the state would not feel it; but when tiie en tire advertising lulls of 137 coun- | ties are charged to the college it makes over six hundred dollars, a sum that at present we are utterly unable to pay and that we shall not be able to pay at any lime during Augusta Clironicl i the present session without very | great inconvenience. The legisla t u re has allowed us barely money enough to run the institution until next June and has made no provis ion whatever for the payment of I this debt. I presented this view I of the. case to the Htato School i Commissioner, Mr. Bradwell, but, while he thinks it is unjust and hard j,that our college, in its present | stringent financial circumstances should be thus taxed, he says lie can 1 find no authority of law for or dering the debt paid out of the several county school funds. Such being the case there is no recourse left us but to throw ourselves npon your generosity and to ask you to release us from this debt which we have incurred unawares, and which we are entirely unable to pay. If you will agree to do so we will con aider the sum that we owe you as a free donation to our college, which in pffect it will be. 1 am reliably informed that the State School of Technology has its notices, precise ly similar to ours, published free of i charge in nearly every newspaper I in the State every year We beg ' the same generosity for our insti | tution for this year at least. In conclusion let me say that we The Western Settler’s Chosen Specific With every advance of emigration into the far West, a new demand is created for Hostetter’s Stomach Bit ters. Newly peopled regions are less salubrious than older settled locali ties, on account of the miasma, which rises from recently cleared land, par ticularly aloug the banks of rivers that ar»- subject to freshets. The ag ricultural or mining emigrant soon learns, when he does not already know, that these Bitters afforu tiie only sure protection against' malaria, and those disorders of the stomach, iver and bowels, to which climatic changes, exposure, and unaccustomed or unhealthy water or diet subject him. Consequently, he places an es timate upon this great household specific and preventive commensurate* witli its intrinsic merits, and is care holy that he would not touch if it. in terfered in any way with his plans or ambitious intentions. But with all of liis geeut. faults his mind was great, and be could read men, actions, thought and influences as it were by intuition. As was said of him: he was a man of great talents but few scru ples. For medicine be had but little use, and little faith in it, For surgery lie had something of an admiration. He rather agreed with Voltaire, who in his day said: “A physician was one who put a medicine of which he knew little, into a system of which lie knew less, and tile results of which lie knew nothing.” A good deal of truth iu liis day no doubt, but not so now. Napoleon in speaking of the learned professions said: “1 have u higher opinion of the medical, or rather surgical profession, than of any other. The practice of the law is too severe an ordeal for poor human nature. He who liubit- nates himself to the distortion of truth, and to exultation at tiie suc cess of injustice, will at last hardly know right from wrong. So it is with politics; a man must have a conven tional conscience. Of ecclesiastic# too much is expected, and they conse quently become hypocrites.” How much sound truth in the above. We may say a sad fact. The lawyer does sink the good citizen in being too zealous an advocate. He is stimulated by the ambition of freeing a rascal or scoundrel witii facts nnd law against him. He is after a repu tation, and not justice, right or fair dealing. Auv and everything for suc cess.

Nu- As to politics, the science of gov- eanment is the greatest of all sciences; but when hitched on to a party name, atul blatant demagogues become leaders, truth honor, aud fair state ment as to facts or authorities can not be expected. I would as soon ex pect to And the Devil leading a pray er meeting, as to get a fair statement upan any political issues if party suc cess can be obtained by down-right lying and misrepresentation. A par tisan has no conscience at all. I would as soon expect to find virtue in a brothel aa to find a partisan who plain facts stated. Truth, Lom-st truth will make converts. Theology is not religion, but theological pole mics among partisan sectarians; each marching and fighting under their [peculiar beliefs, faiths and creeds. Religion, pure uf:d simple, i. piety towards God and our duty to fl- low men. St James seemed to i >\v what sort of religion- God w ii.p-d among mankind. Hear him: “]' ire religion and niidefiled before God and the father is this: To visit the fath erless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” Do good to those ne-d- ing it, be pure in mind and acnou, deal justly with all men, and heaven is won. Religion is daifo- action; piety is adoration towards God aud emphasized with prayer. Tiie world is growing better be cause it is growing more enlightened; ministers are becoming more truthful in the pulpit because they see that the brains in the pews cun and do appreciate the real truth. As soon as lie people have sense enough to- cut loose from party names and so- called party leaders, theie will be more public virtue among our rulers. When men shall demand clean poli cies and measures and not a party name, demagogues will “grow small and beautifully less,” and men of true character will be sought for as legis lators. The whisky-drinking and hand shaking popularity seeker will be a thing of the past. When lawyers cease to be quirks and quibblers and address themselves to law as a rule of right among men, there will be more respect for a profession, which is at tiiis time considerably below pur from a moral standpoint.
