THE NORTH GEORGIAN (SUCCESSOR TO THE NORTH GEORGIA BAPTIST.) Entered at the postofflco at Cum min*, Qa., as second class matter. "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 pure-bred stock with profit. The lirst cost is greater, and to get back the ■ money he must be business man cough to sell the young stock at fair prices, warns the American Cultiva tor. But good stock is the cheapest 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.” GREAT CAMPAIGN FOR EDUCATION Work Outlined By Leaders at Conference in Atlanta.

We recognize with delight the increase in dignity and pow er of the office of state super intendent of education, which is attracting the strongest men among us, and the growing rec ognition of these leaders as the real shepherds of the people. 6. The National Bureal of Ed ucation at Washington has made such use of its limited resources as has rendered it a valued re inforcement of every good educa tional movement throughout the land. We are glad to note that congress has begun to make a distinct increase in the appropri ations for this office. buch in crease as has hitherto been made is, however, wholly inadequate to’ the needs of the office and painfully disproportionate to tne importance oi the interests which it serves. We respectful ly urge upon congress that it undertake without further delay the placing of this bureau upon such a plan of efficiency as well enable it to render in full the service whifch the states repre sented in this conference require and expect from sucH a federal office. Atlanta, Ga.—With the adoption of resolutions asking larger federal ap propriations for the support of edu cation, a better system or county su perintendence throughout the south, better training for teachers, more lo cal school improvement leagues, ad vising work tor compulsory educa tion where practical, and rejoicing in the greater dignity and power now at taching to the office of superintendent of schools in southern states, the Con ference for kducation in the South brought its twelfth annual meeting to a close. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Rob ert C. Ogden, New York, N. Y.; vice president, B. J. Baldwin, Montgomery, Ala.; secretary, Wicltliffe Rose, Nash ville, Tenn.; treasurer, William A. Blair, Winston-Salem, N. C. Executive Committee Wickliffe Rose, chairman, Nashville, Tenn.; S. C.

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.
