THE ARGUS; DALTON, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1893.
A MISUNDERSTANDING
Or a Remark of The ArgtiH Krings
Forth a Card.
Fillmore, Feb. 1, 1893.
To the Editor of The Argus.
In your issue of January 25th I
find this editorial remark : “The ed
itor of The Argus a few days since
asked a country lad why he had quit
school. ‘I was wasting time’ he said
‘I could teach the teacher in our
settlement.’ And what is true of
Whitfield is true of the entire state.”
Now, Mr. Editor,! hope I may have
misunderstood your meaning, but, as
it reads, it sounds like a direct fling
at the teachers of this county and
state, and, as I belong to that unap
preciated profession myself, I shall
undertake to say a word in defense of
the teacuers of Whitfield county. And
as editors are made merely to be
“cussed” and abused, and have for
feited their right to get out of humor,
I shall speak plainly on this subject.
Please do not understand this as an
attempt at a personal vindication, as
of course the remark had no personal
bearing.
We presume that the editor of The
Argus, being a stranger to the coun
ty, has not a very extended acquaint
ance with the teachers of the county.
Therefore, we object to the “smart
Aleck” boys who have quit school,
being made the custodians of the rep
utations of scores of earnest, hard
working men and women.
Here we have an editorial opinion,
from a man who stands high in his
profession, and expressed in a papei
which is becoming well known, when
the only authority for the opinion is
a country lad |who had quit school.
Teachers meet with this sort of boys
everywhere they go, and will not be
at all surprised at the boy’s remark :
but, we are surprised that the editor
of ,The Argus should base his esti
mate of Whitfield county teachers on
such authority.
We, as a class, are willing to leave
our reputation in the hands of such
men as Commissioner Berry, Gen. B.
M. Thomas and Prof. J. W. Harris, of
Cedartown, an expert normal con
ductor, who stated last year in the
presence of some of the most promi
nent citizens of Dalton, that the
teachers of Whitfield county were far
ahead of the average in intelligence
and teaching ability.
Os course there are some incompe
tent persons in this profession, as in
every other, but they are dropping out,
as they necessarily must.
We think that under the manage
ment of our state school eonimission
ers, and more especially under
the local management of our able
county commissioner, teachers who
cannot teach the average country
boy, or town boy either, are getting
very scarce.
Our school board will not license
incompetent teachers.
Mr. Editor, please reconsider your
remarks and try to get acquainted
with us. We are your best friends.
Brother Shaver is doing a noble
work booming North Georgia and
Whitfield county, but really this seems
to us like a boom from the wrong end
of the gun.
We hope Mr. Editor that your re
mark was made in haate, like that of
the Psalmist, when he said : “All
men are liars,” and that it will prove
to be much farther from the truth
than was his.
In the meantime, may the Good
Lord deliver us from the boy who can
teach the teacher.

A <>on|X‘l Truth
Those who advertise in The Argus
will be those who do the business in
Dalton. The Argus is whooping things
up for Dalton and its business, enter
prises and industries, and the people are
learning to look in The Argus for what
they want to know. When they want to
buy anything they will look in Ihe
Argus to see where to go.
If vou are wise, you will advertise in
The "Argus, and let the people know
what vou have to sell.
“THE TOWN COW.
‘•An Ordinary Woman” ‘lias a few
Word* to Nay.
To the Editor of The Argus.
Dear Sir: It seems that a few
chronic grumblers are forever wail
ing and gnashing their teeth about
“the town cow.’*
One says, “pen her, because she
eats up the shrubbery on Thornton
Avenue.” Anothnr says, “pen her
because she walked toward me with
her head down (on a nice, beautiful,
warm day when the ground was cov
ered with snow), and she makes us
look so countrytied anyway.”
It is not personal interest that
prompts us in replying, but the ex
tremely ridiculous excuses set forth
for condemning the cow. To the
dear friend on the avenue,! would say,
build you a fence around your shrub-’
bery, then keep the gate shut, and the
friendly old cows will bother you no
more. Try it my friend ; “it will work
like a charm.” And God bless the
lady that got frightened at the cow.
She was only mistaken in the ways of
cows ; perhaps, she was raised in a city.
When cows hold their heads down
they are hunting greens. They raise
their heads when they want to fight.
The lady was in no danger.
I agree that we don’t look very city
like, but the cow is not the only bar
rier. the lack of the S,(MX) inhabitants
the lady made mention of. is a greater
trouble.
I suppose it would be more pleasant
for real timid people to walk in a city
with no cows. But just think for a
moment how much more able those
few timid walkers are to hire a boy to
mind off the cows, than the wage-earn
ing, practical people are to do without
them.
A great many families in Dalton
could scarcely live at all, but for the
help of “Old Moll.” Many would be
the children that would cry with hun
ger,if the cows were taken from them.
If I felt it my duty, I would feel in
competent to advise the city authori
ties as to this matter, but feel sure
that if left to the voters of the city we
will not object to the result, for we
feel sure that a people as well balanced
as most of Dalton’s, in view of the fact
that the cow costs her owner compar
atively nothing for five or six months
in the year, and knowing as they do,’
that one cow penned up, is a greater
nuisance than three or fonr running
at large in this or any other town, and
knowing that the majority of people
in Dalton have no suitable place to
keep their cows during the entire
year, would never pass an ordinance
that would compel the people to sell
their cows to the butcher at a sacrifice
of from twenty to thirty dollars, for
bread,
