Where Georgia Girls fire
Taught Industrial Arts.
The corning commencement exerci
ses of the Georgia Normal and Indus
trial College at Milledgeville marks the
sixth year of that institution's exist
ence. Though comparatively young
among the institutions of its kind in
its organization, present size and suc
cessful operation, it is the finest m the
south a*id second in developement an 1
progress to none in the country. It
has been established, on a firm and
practical basis since its auspicioua open
ing, while the liberal appropriation for
the payment of teachers enables tin
trustees to select the members of the
faculty from among the best and most
experienced educators in the country.
Thi- one advantage is always the most
potent factor in the success of an edu
cative institution ami alone might as
sure the continued progress and devel
opment of the Georgia Normal and In
dustrial school.
Among tlie women of ihe state who
practically interested themselves in the
foundation of the college may be men
tioned Mrs. Atkinson, the wife of
Georgia’s governor, who has been
prominently associated with the suc
cess and progress of the institution.
In reference to the matter Mrs. Atkin
son says that her first thought of the
necessity of such an institution may be
traced to an incident occurring soon af
ter her marriage and coming to Geor
gia as a bride. Driving out in the
country I was shocked by seeing the
figures of women vvorking in the fields.
Coming nearer she saw they pulled
their bonnets over their eyes, as if hu
miliated at their occupation. The act
not only convinced her of the hard
ships of the situation, but of their ten
der years and the possibility of their
being lifted from what seemed to be a
degradation unworthy of the women of
our state.
Though the impulse suggested that
there should be a medium of relief af
forded this particular clement of young
women the Normal and Industrial col
lege, when fomally organized, embod
ied this subject as only one of the
many that were included in its estab
lishment.' Today in its broad scope it
opens to women a source of instruction
and education, in whatever vocation
her capacity or preference may indi
cate, whether she is the daughter of
the wealthy and scholarly father, or one
less fortunate -the daughter of the
struggling field laborer.
The college includes five separate
and distinct departments,that repie cut
the live mediums of education that
finish woman for her preferred calling
—the normal, the industrial, the col
legiate, the domestic, and the musical
and fine art department.
In 1890 the corner stone of the main
college building was laid in the pres
ence of the governor, and a large body
of the state's distinguished men and
women. The press of the state were
most liberal in their support of the
movement On the occasion of the
legislative committee visiting the In
dustrial school in Mississippi, Maude
Andrews Ohl accompanied them, as cor
respondent for The Atlanta Constitu
tion, and imbued by the spirit of the
great possibilities in such a college in
Georgia, she wrote m the columns of
that paper letters that gave a new im
petus to the movement, and inspired a
deeper interest, especially among the
women of the state.
Recurring to the first incidents of
the establishment of the college, the
formal opening day was Monday, Sep
tember 30, 1891. There were present
on the first day eighty-eight pupils,
but previous to the first commencement
exercises the number increased to one
and seventy-one pupils.
Since the second year, the college
has averaged an attendance of three
hundred and fifty pupils, while this
year there is an attendance of over
four hundred, and it is positive fact
that no other educational institution in
Georgia has ever approached the In
dustrial and Normal college in Mill
edgevills, either in the number of its
boarding pupils or in in its extensive
ness of state representatives.—lsma
Dooley iu Atlanta Constitution.
Paul J. Murphy, manager of the
Chickamauga A Durham railroad, said
to a reporter in Chattanooga recently
that his company had decided to erect
too coke ovens at Kensington, in Wal
ker county, to have a capacity of 200
tons per day. The material and ma
chinery for the new plant have already
been purchased and the work of build
ing the ovens will benin at an early
day.

Startling Statistics
Concerning Narcotics.
Miss 8. C. Burnett, of Ohio, deliv
ered a lecture in (. hatttanooga recent
ly in reference to the evils of the to
bacco habit. Miss Burnett is oue of
the national lecturer-' of the Woman's
Christian Union, and she presented
s mne startling facts with reference to
that almost universally abused and yet
in creasing commodity—tobacco.
After briefly referring to the W. C.
T. U. history, aims and methods of
work and giving a beautiful word pic
ture of the world's convention in Lou
den, to which she was a delegate, Miss
Burnett took up the work being done
in the department of narcotics, and for
a half hour gave an interesting array
of facts and statistics. The principal
narcotics in use, said the speaker, are
opium and tobacco. The horrors of
the opium habit were depicted and the
warning raised against increase of the
habit. The use of tobacco was un
known to the world till its discovery
among the Indians, yet in these four
hundred years it has so spread that it
is estimated that 800,000,000 of the
human family are daily consumers in
some form. The poison, nicotine,
forms from 5 to 8 per cent, of its
weight. This is the most deadly pois
on known to the chemist except prus
sic acid. Each poison has its own af
finity. Alcohol seizes the brain; to
bacco affects the heart. Germany and
Switzerland forbid selling or giving to
boys; France forbids its use by school
boys. Forty-two states have enacted
laws against its sale; four of these
states named only cigarettes. Cigar
ettes, said the speaker, is the worst
form of its use, because they arc drug
ged with opium and because the smoke
is inhaled; harm also comes from the
oil developed in the burning of the pa
per. The effect upon the body was
given and the statement made that no
athlete can use them and that no Keel
ey cure institute will attempt to cure
an inebrate who use them. Our mili
tary and naval schools receive no one
who uses tobacco. Street car compan
ies and railroads are forbidding or reg
ulating its use.
The figures given were as follows:
In round numbers 693,000 acres are
devoted to culture of tobacco, produc
ing nearly 500,000,000 pounds.
The number of cigars annually used
is 220,000,000; cigarettes, 4,150,000,-
000, an increase of 723,000,000 over
last year; pounds of tobacco used in
smoking and chewing 25,000,000.
We spend more money for tobacco
than for schools.
T hat its use by children is increas
ing all will admit. A few years ago
only men used it; now our boys are
adepts at from 5 to 10 years of age.
Its effect upon school work is appall
ing. Wc have 79 reform schools, with
24,000 boys in them, the records show
nearly all are cigarette victims.
Four girls graduate from our high
schools to one boy, and records show'
that the cigarette victims drop out of
school because they can no longer do
the work required.
Within eighteen months Miss Bur
nett has addressed over 25,000 pupils
in public schools and a score of higher
institutions of learning ami has had
universal testimony of teachers as to
the effect upon growing boys.
No other class of persons is doing
so much as the public school teachers,
as no others see results so clearly. All
owe the \\ . C. T. U. a debt of grati
tude for its efforts to save our boys.
Miss Burnett is intensely earnest in
her work, but does not give offense,
as she never descends to abuse, but
believes education will bring about a
change.
Secret of His Success.
In a letter to his brother writ
ten some years ago, the late Alex
ander 11. Stephens gave to the
world the secret of his success in
life in this single sentence: “Re
venge reversed : that is. to rise su
perior to the neglect or contumely
of the mean of mankind by trying
to do then good instead of harm, a
determination to war even against
fate, to meet the world iu all its
forces, to master evil with good,
and to leave r,o foe standing in the
roar. The sentiment is Godlike
ami worthy of the lamented states
man.

Female Suffrage Sized up.
“The little child, in nightgown white,
Patters down to kiss good night;
To be tucked softly into bed;
To have the ‘Now I lay me’ said.
But now there is no sweet caress;
No gentle hand the prayer to bless,
For mother has sought higher joys,
She’s gone out whooping up the boys.
She’s swapping votes and pulling wires,
And stirring patiiotic tires;
She's fixing things to run the ward
And wearing bloomers—oh, good
Lord!”
Isma Dooly is a young woman
for whom fate has destined a bril
liant future. She is oue also not
without honor in her own country,
for wherever the south's greatest
daily newspaper, The Atlanta Con
stitution goes, Isma Dooly’s name
is a household word, and now the
north is paying honor to her talents.
The New York Tribune of Monday,
gave an excellent photograph of
her, with clippings of her work on
the Tennessee Centennial, perhaps
the best from any woman’s pen in
terested in reflecting honor upon
her country. Miss Dooly has also
been asked to represent Georgia
and make an address at the press
convention in Nashville on the 27th
and 28th.
Iler review of the Woman’s work
of the centennial that appeared in
the Constitution was full and com
plete, and the women of Georgia,
one of whom the Georgian is which,
feel proud of her brilliant place in
the literary’ world.—Rome Geor
gian.
Very Few Die.
It has been said that very few per
sons merely “die.” The banker “pass
es in his checks,” the cashier “goes to
his last account,” the mugwump “joins
the great majority," the saloon-keeper
“seeks the spirit land,” the gambler
“shuffles off," the stableman “kicks
the bucket,” the spiritualist “gives up
the ghost,” the accountant “goes to
his long reckoning," the printer “joins
the heavenly choir,” and the editor
“goes hence to claim a pair of golden
scissors laying on a table near the
throne.”
Ip to date the Chattanooga Rome
A Columbus, road has handled eight
picnic excursion trains, with six or
eight more such outings already arran
ged for. This popular line has been
dubbed by the Rome Tribulie the “Pic
nic route which is rather a novel
name for a road, but the attractions of
Chickamauga, the National Park and
Point Lookout are such that the hue
will always be a popular one for those
seeking a day of recreation and pleas
ure.
The Anti Barroom Bill Discussed.
Tii • license system with reference
to the liquor traffic is essentially
vicious, It involves the political
■ui:m-r:ility of giving one citizen
i m reantil * interest in the de
ni lization of every 7 other ci i
vGi in he c>n draw within
the range of his lucrative l mpta
ti- >n.
'i he es-e ntial vi tue of the Anti-
Barroom Bill is that it allows no
man to make merchandise of the
temptablity of his fellow men.
It r< mi vi s the sale of intoxicants
from the list of gainful employ
ments and thus draws the dragon’s
teeth.
It is to all intents and pnrsose a
prohibition bill, and as such should
receive the support of all citizens
w ho desire the success of that great
cause.
No rational objection can be
justly brought against the meas
ure. Its passage by the Legisla
ture would be an unmixod bless
ing to the State of Georgia.
The saloon interest of course op
poses it, and will leave nothing un
done to secure its defeat. By meth
ods direct, and processes of indi
rection the liquor dealers have
sought and will seek its utter over
t brow.
They rejoiced when misguided
friends of the measure were in
clined to throw it into a partisan
campaign, and now they are insis
ting that the measure was defeated
at the polls in the last State elec
tion. This claim is false, and
should be resisted. There was no
issue of the Anti-barroom Bill ver
sus Local Option in the last State
campaign. Both candidates for
governor, in private and in public,
announced their willingness to sign
it in the event of its passage by
the legislature. Members of all
parties in the legislature were elec
ted pledged to vote for it, and their
constituents will not hold them
guiltless if upon any pretext they
fail to keep their pledges. These
men know that the people of all
parties by an overwhelming ma
jority desire this measure, and they
may 7 be well assured that the peo
ple will not be trilled with concern
ing it. The issue must be frankly
faced and disposed of. Let the
friends of the measure in ail par
ties cause their immediate represen
tatives in the-Senate and House to
understand this.
Heed no outcry against the bill
which some make who denounce it
as containing the worst features
of “the South Carolina dispensary 7
law.” The two measures are
wholly unlike in principle and en
tirely dissimilar in detail.
This measure is not a dispensa
ry 7 bill. It is what its name im
plies, “Au Anti-barroom Bill.” It
pr< poses to close the saloon. It
seeks to break up doggeries. That
is the long and the short of it-
Is it not high time the saloons
were closed? Is there any reason
for having doggeries in Georgia?
Should any man in this State be
allowed longer to reap revenue
from the debauchery of his fellow
citizens?
Let us take the pre fits out of th’s
business, and it will die. Let us
pull the dragon’s teeth and he will
perish. W. A. Chandler.
