THE NORTH GEORGIAN
(SUCCESSOR TO THE NORTH

Entered at the postofflco at Cum

"There are grades of liars,” says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. But the fel
lows on the down grade* are the swift
est.
The decision of our highest court,
explains the Atlanta Constitution, is
that debts to the trusts are all in the
air—but that’s exactly where the
trusts are doing business.
It requires a smart man to handle

cough to sell the young stock at fair

stock for the right man.
A New York chemist tells the Ameri
can Chemical society he has discov
ered anew fireproof substance which
is as noteworthy for its beauty as for
its utiliity. He must have forgotten
about the beauty part, retorts the
New York Herald, when he named the
new chemical “oxybenzyl-methlylen
glycolanhydride.”
The shafts of wit of the professional
jokesmitli harmlessly expend them
selves upon the polished crowns of
those destitute of their proper share
of capillary covering, assert the Phila
delphia Ledger. Wit, like death, loves
a shining mark, and the bald-headed
man is an easily vulnerable target.
These light shafts of humor do not
strike deep, and have no reentrant barb
to create a ranking wound. But when
a man of science stands up and tells
as assemblage of servants that bald
headed people are degenerate, it
makes all bald-headed people every
where feel badly.
Whether the Commissioner of
Health succeeds in eliding from the
dairymen a workable scheme for pro
moting the purity of the milk supply,
he will be pretty sure to contribute to
that end by inducing the dairymen to
study the subject, insists the New
York Times. Those entering the com
petition are not likely to ignore the
pecuniary interests of their class. If
they can see their way to reconcile
these with the supply of really pure
milk, the benefit is obvious. We
think Dr. Darlington has hit on a
happy idea, and we shall watch its
outcome with much interest.
Another death in Chicago of an es
timable woman because a man in a
neighboring flat was explaining to the
maid servant how to handle a revolver
in case burglars came. It is admitted
that it was a deplorable accident.
lat it was homicide also. And yet
the man was not even arrested, ex
claims the Indianapolis News. The
woman is dead, oh, yes! But so little
do we think of human life that “acci
dent” suffices to wipe out the event.
We must still allow men to go free
with loaded revolvers and give object
lessons with them if we do occasion
ally slay a wife and mother. Great
country!
Seismologist Jaggar of Boston thinks
it very likely that the disturbance
•which caused recent shocks was in
the bed of the Indian Ocean. “With
refernce to the eastern coast ot
North America,” he says, “we need
not expect any such violent earth
quakes as are frequent in Japan and
in Southern Italy. Reports of a re
cent lecture of mine misrepresented
a comment regarding New York city.
It was not my intention to predict
any serious results in New York city.
Certain parts of New York, however,
are geologically as likely to have a
shock as Charleston. New York city
is on an island and on the bedrock.
Brooklyn and the rest of Long Island
and New Jersey are on a different
foundation and in a similar geological
position as Charleston, much of it
presenting two rock formations. The
Hudson Valley is a fissure of the
*
earth’s crust and was formed by an
earthquake condition. Let there be
no popular fear, however, that such
disturbances as the one at Messina
will be duplicated on our coast.”

“The Relation of Education to In
dustrial Development” was the sub
ject of the address by Dr. A. Caswell
Ellis of the University of Texas. It
the program of Friday evening. It
proved to be not only interesting to
the audience, but a paper which might
well be put upon the conference rec-
MUSLtMS MASSACKINU CHKISTIANS.
Turkish Government Has Found it
Impossible to Stop Disturbances.
London, England. While many
fragmentary' reports received here
point to the imminence of civil war
in Turkey owing to the efforts of the
defeated young Turks to re-establish
their supremacy, as yet there is not
much authentic information that
would tend to show that the troops
are ready to support the committee
of union and progress. The situation
in Constantinople continues quiet.
A massacre of Armenians has taken
place at Adana, Asiatic Turkey. The
fatalities are said to be numerous.
Two American missionaries are said
to be among the dead.
ords as one most valuable to students
of economics as related to education
Ur. Ellis reviewed the progres-s of
agricultural development as related
to education in the various states
affording striking examples. The
state of Illinois was quoted as invest
ing $250,000 in university investiga
tion in the field of agriculture. Pro
lessor Montgomery has done a sim
ilar work for the corn farmers in Ne
braska; Professor Holden In the agri
cultural college in lowa. The values
of seed testing were referred to, the
method used for testing wheat, bar
ley. oats, peas, alfalfa, cotton and
other crops, with just as valuable re
sults as with corn. In an interesting
vein he reviewed the results to ag
riculture that had come through the
investigation and scientific treatment
by the government of the ravages of
the white scale ruining the orange
crops of California; the boll weevil
in its attack upon the cotton; the
splenic fever, commonly called Tex
as fever, and ravages upon cattle life.
In the development of our mineral
resources and in our manufactures,
higher education is paying even larg
er proportionate returns than in ag
riculture. Dr. Ellis stated, and he
related many interesting incidents to
illustrate the fact. He reviewed the
advancement and results of medical
investigation in Its relation to his
subject.
No paper of the conference had cen
tered in it more lively interest than
that of Charles L. Coon of Wilson.
N. C., whose address on ‘‘Public Tax
ation and the Negro,” was replete
with facts, statistics and general sug
gestion, that made it invaluable.
Briefly summarized, he drew atten
tion to the fact that the south is
spending $32,068,851 on her public
schools. Of this amount $23,856,914
is paid for teachers, white and col
ored, or 74.4 per cent of the total.
Negro teachers are receiving about
$3,818,705, or 12 per cent of the total
expenditures for all purposes, while
white teachers are being paid 64.4
per cent. The amount being spent
on negro teachers is by far the larg
est item of expense of the negro pub
lic schools. In addition to the ex
pense of the negro teachers, the south
is paying about $917,670 each year,
making the total aggregate cost of
the negro schools near $4,736,375.
These figures relate to the states of
Virginia, North Carolina, South Car
olina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas
and Tennessee, which contains 81.4
per cent of the negro population
No session of the Conference for
Education in the South proved more
vitally interesting than the next to
last one, when the group of speakers
included Dr. Caswell Ellis of the Uni
versity of Texas; Superintendent
Coon of Wilson, N. C.; Mrs. B. B.
Mumford of Richmond, Va.; Dr. Lil
lain Johnson, Memphis, Tenn.; Mrs.
Robert Emory Park; Dean Lida Shaw
King of Brown University, Provi
dence, R. I.
In her able address, Mrs. R. B.
Mumford referred to the fact that the
first School Improvement Association
was formed in Richmond, Va., in
1900, by five earnest women, and the
first state organization was born in
1902, at the suggestion of Dr. Mclver,
at a woman’s industrial college. As
a factor in educational development,
Mrs. Mumford believes that the south
ern woman is second to none other.
Dr. Lillian Johnson of Memphis,
Tenn., a woman of scholarly' attain
ment and womanly charm expressed
both in the address which she made
on “The Woman’s Club Asa Factor
in Education,” In presenting the sub
ject she briefly reviewed the work
of clubs in all the southern states,
Mrs. Robert Emory Park, chairman
of the education department of the
Georgia Federation, was the next
speaker. Her subject was the “Edu
cation Work of Georgia Club Wom
en.” Directly Mrs. Park talked of
the various lines pursued by the club
women, stressing especially their
work for rural schools and rural or
ganization.
Dean Lida Shaw King of Woman’s
College, Brown University, Provi
dence, R. 1., spoke on “Higher Educa
tion of Women,” a subject that has
engaged the attention of the world
at-large more, probably, than almost
any other branch of education.
MAY ADOPT INCOME TAX.
Guggenheim, the Richest Senator, Fa
vors Legislation.
Washington, D. C. —Every indica
tion points to the adoption by con
gress of an income tax as a revenue
producer.
It will require the yotes of sixteen
republicans, united with the solid
democratic strength, to adopt this
legislation. Fourteen republicans—
among them Senator Guggenheim of
Colorado, the richest man in the sen
ate —have expressed themselves in
favor of the measure.
Will Meet in Birmingham.
Birmingham, A1&. —Secretary V. H.
Hanson announced that the Southern
Newspaper Publishers’ Association
would meet in Birmingham June Bth
next. This city was selected at the
last meeting in Charlotte, but the
date was left to the local newspapers
and June Bth has been selected.
Pearl in Oyster Sandwich.
New York City.—John Turley, a
desk lieutenant of the New York po
lice department, is the proud posses
sor of a pearl said to be worth $l5O,
which he found in an oyster sand
wich.
The sandwich cost him five
cents.
