THREE THOUSAND MINERS SUR
ROUND THE BRICEVILAB CAMP
The whirlwind of indignation at the
introduction of Johnston’s history into
the University ss a text book increaaee
as the days go by sad is likely to con
tinue in that way.
The press all over the State is talking
in meaning terms, and while some are
pretty severe, it shows bow the senti
ment is running.
FROM A UNIVERSITY GRADUATE.
Editor John N. Holder, of the Jack-
son Herald, a graduate of the Universi
ty, speaks out his mind on the subject
ss follows:
One of the grandest institutions in
the whole Southland is the University
of Georgia, when properly ^managed,
and kept free from oorrupt and impure
textbooks. But just at this time she is
suffering from the use of a text-book
known as Johnson’s History of the
United btates, which is s concoction of
hatred towaid the South, and the em
bodiment of the most bitter sentiments
that were ever written about tbe States
that seceded.
If this book continues to be taught
in the Univereiiy it will exert one of
the most pernioioua snd devilish influ
ences that can be devised Where is Dr
BOSS 8 , who is s typical Southerner,and
one who has never acknowledged that
the sons of suny Southland were in the
wrong, much less trailers, as the text
book claims ? Why does be not ace that
this evil and embodiment of falsity is
rooted from tbe State institution ?
Where are the old professors? Where
are Professor Norris and Wilcox and
White? Surely theee men have to
read this contaminator of juvenile
minds, and do not know tbe injury that
it is doing to tbe University, or they
would exert every nerve and make ev
ery possible effort to eradicate this pile
of poisonous filth from tbe University
That little meeting of the Junior
class indorsing Professor MoPbersou
and bis text-book and condemning tbe
Banner’s editorial does not amount to
a bill of beans. It has no more power
in neutralizing the bad influence the
introduction of the book has caused
than a parrot’s talk.
Tbe people of the State are indig
nant that such a book as the one used
in the department of History should be
tolerated by the faculty, in spite of tbe
whereases and resolutions of the Jun
iors.
The Banner was first to sound the
alarm, until now the cry is heard from
Tennessee to Florida, from the Savan
nah to tbe Chattahoochee, and will in
crease until such an unfit book is driven
from the University or she loses half of
her patronage.
Says tbe Hartwell Sun on this rah
ject:
Tbe State of Georgia will feel the
good of an institution tbe purpose of
which is to teach teachers how to teach.
They will be taught never to teach
Southern children history of the war
from a ysnkee standpoint.—Athena
Banner.
You are reading on the right page,
brother—read on! You an doing good
work too.
Outraged Humanity has Asserted
Itself at Last In Favor of Honest
Free Labor—The Blazing Fires
In the Sky was the Signal
That the Brioavlila In?
Iqulty Was Ended.
Editor Furlow, of the Madisonian,
putsin a couple of home-thrusts in his
splendid journal. He says:
The Athens Banner is waging war
on the “Johnston’s History of the
United States.” a vile book which is
now being used in the State University
It teaches that the secession of the
South was revolution, or nothing, that
our fathers and brothers were rebels of
the deepest dye, and that the 'Southern
cause was upheld by despotism. Such
a book ought to be condemned, and is
meeting with its just deserts.
And again:
A text book which teaches that the
Southern cause was revolution, its fol
lowers traitors, and its demands des
potism, should not be tolerated in the
Georgia State University.

direction of Briceville, and at once re

“I see a great light, aa of an immense
fire, reflected in the sky. The wire to
Briceville is cut, and Ican’tcall it up.”
At once the suspicion arose, a mo

FROM THE ‘CRAWFORD HERALD.
Editor Moore, of tbe Crawford
Herald, has an able artiole on the same
line in his last issue of the Crawford
Herald. It reads well. Says that able
sheet:
More and more we are convinced that
Georgia children should study Geor
gia made text books.1
Since the little fuss about Johnson’s
History being used in the State Uni
veruty, we find that the sentiment of
the people of the State of Georgia are
ready for a change in tbe school books
that are now used. They are nearly all
written by northern people and they
are about aa much suited to tbe South
ern school room as a local newspaper
from California would be interesting to
an average native of this county.
We never have seen a history written
North-fhat £ives the South justice. Tbe
writers, u a general thing, lust modify
their abuse and slurs sufficient to get
the books into our schools. If they
thought the books would sell in the
Southern markets, it is no telling wbat
they would say about our fathers who
fought an honest fight and died an hon
est death for their country.
The young of oar land should be taught
that our fathers ware not traitors bat
they fought for what was justly theirs
and should now he theirs.
Of all things, school books should be
clear of tyrsnical feeling like the old
war horses are inclined to write. They
should be kept from the filth of poll
tics. Sectional writing should not be
allowed in any school room.
The war is ended and to the youth
fair statement should be made by im
partial writers. Cranks like those who
have written the books that stir up
feelingin tbe South should not be al
lowed to get one of their filthy books
on tbe market.
We see but one way to put this
trouble to an end and that is for tbe
State to publish its own school hooka
and have only these books used in the
Schools of the State.
Johnson’s history should be at once
discharged from the State University
and adopt in its stead Stephens, or
some other history written by a South
erner or impartial writer.

Why You Should Patronize the Banner Job Olce.
When one has work of an artistic nature to be executed, he naturally car
ries it to the very best artist convenient. Of course, an expert workman and
skilled mechanic has the latest ahd best machinei «.> enable him to accomplish
the most satisfactory results. No one wishes to p »u .mi a workman who docs
not keep abreast with the improvements of the day, for l! tan impossibility for
him to turn out a novel and artistic job. In printing, style* are constantly chang
ing. Type faces that were popular last year, are now rarely used. Better effeots
are seen by the most casual observer.
OUfi TYPE PACES ASE ALL NEW
In The Banner Job Office there is to be found the largest selection of new
and artistic type in Northeast Georgia. If yon have a Poster as large as a newspa
per to print, and want it executed in an attractive style—in a style that will “catch
the eye”—The Banner office is the place to have it printed. If yon have an in
vitation card that you wish to appear as if it were lithographed, send it to ns. In
fact, we qave the best selection of type for any kind of work that is printed.
THE BANNER JOB PRINTERS.
No matter how good material a shop may have, without' skilled mechanics
the best results cannot be obtained. It is even so in a printing office. We hava
the most artistic and skillful printers to be obtained. We refer yon to samples of
our work for proof o.' this assertion. After all, one’s work is the best way by
which to judge his ability. We have no “cubs” to “butcher” work.
•^OUR PRESSES^-
Without good presses, it is impossible to turn out first-class work. Many
jobs, which are otierwise artistic, are spoiled by poor press work. In The
Banner Job room there are five of the finest presses made—Adam’s Patent Book
Press, The Cottrell St Babcock Cylinder Press, two of the latest improved Gordon
Presses and Golden’s PearL
