GEORGIA’S NORMAL SCHOOL.
It is pretty generally known that
Georgia has a Normal school now
established by law, to be conducted
in the building of the old Rock col
lege here in Georgia. The plans all
have been arranged by the members
of the faculty of the State University.
These plans were submitted to the
trustees and they in turn submitted
them for endorsement to the gover
nor. Governor Northern urged them
before the last session of the general
assembly and the outcome was the
passage of a bill providing for, the
execution of the plan.
The idea is to have a thorough and
complete school where teachers
might be taught how to teach. The
plan is a most excellent one and has
met general endorsement on all
aides.
It is to be hoped that this insti-
tion will soon be put into operation
The Rock college is one of the most
attractive and useful buildings in the
state—the very place for the estab
lishment of this school There is a
faint glimmer of hope that Ex-
Eresident Hayes’ recent visit to
Georgia in behalf of the educational
fund he represents will result
in rome help to this movement.
' Georgia needs a thorough Normal
school today more than she needs any
one thing We heartily agree with
a Georgia exchange in the following
statement:
"It requires as much training to
make a teacher as it docs to make a
lawyer or a doctor, and the men who
teach our children should not only
be made competent by study, and
teaching, and experience, but they
have selected their vocation for life.
Too many Jof our teachers impose
upon their patrons.
"A young man graduates and
needs money before he can study a
profession. Because he is a gradu
ate he easily finds a place as a school
teacheT. He starts out knowing
nothing of teaching, and as his
undertaking is only a temporary na
ture, he does not try to fit himself,
but only bangs on to it for a year or
two until he 'can save up enough
money to fit himself lor some other
profession. Daring this time he has
really robbed bis patrons and done
the children and the state a great
wrong. The public schools of Geor
gia call for not only educated men
but educated teachers.”
Every patriotic and loyal Georgian
will echo the sentiment when we say
"speed the day when the Georgia
Normal school will be fairly realized
in supplying a long felt need.”
minds. When one stops to consider
the matter; to reflect upon the great
danger that hovers over Athene, and
to recall the burning of Mrs. Meil’s
residence on Milledge avenue where
the flames sped on in their greedy
work without power of resistence i.
the hands of the vigilant firemen—
when all this comes to be considered
it can be seen at a glance that Ath
ens cannot longer delay a saiisfac-
tory adjustment of this important
matter.
There are some wise suggestions in
the following editorial paragraph ta
ken from the Gainesville Eagle.
We notice that Athens has found
out that she should own her own
water works, and her city council is
now figuring on the cost of a suits
ble system. She should have buih
her own water works at first
Gainesville did. Some of our citi
zens were in favor of having ours
buiit and controlled by a private
company, but fortunately wiser
counsels prevailed end we are not at
the mere}’ of a company that might
at any time exact exorbitant rales
or in other ways keep us in trouble
It will be remembered that at the
lime, the Eagle contended that the
city should build its own water
works and own its electric plant, and
the experience of other places—Ma
con and Athens for instance—who
put themselves in the power of pri
vate companies, has proven that we
were right. Yes, let’s hold on io
our water works and electric light
system and thus protect our citizens
from extortion.
Says the St. Louis Republic: Before
the passage ol the McKinley bib,
Mexican silver-bearing ortsitaiue to St,
Louia, Kansa» City and other Western
cities for reduction. Now the Mexican
mine-owners are putting in reduction
plants of their own. Two owners of the
San Vincente in Guanajuato have just
done so, and smelting works have been
established at various other points. All
this is at the expense of the Mississippi
Valley, for before we not only smelted
these ores, but shipped goods to Mexico
in exchange for them.
A Witty exchange has come to the
conclusion that McKinley protection
for eggs amounts to nothing because
it altogether, fails to keep Southern
Kepublicans away from other people’s
hen roosts. This may not be an alto
gether impartial view on the matter,
Says the St. Louis Repui.lic, but there
is likely to be something in it if you
foreet to untie the dog whose business
it is to protect against the Republican
tendency to appropriate unearned in
crement.
Mr. Balfoitk is at the present time
without doubt the most popular man in
Scotland, aDd this has been well shown
by lli3 council of the University of Ed-
inbuieh having unanimously elected
him chancellor.of the University as suc
cessor to the late lord president. It had
been expected that either Lord Rose
bery or Mr. Kir.near would have been

porters deemed It the mo^t prudeur.

SETTLING OUR DIFFERENCES-
We are pleased to see, from the
statement made by the United States
attorney before the supreme couru
says the Boston Herald that the fur
seal fishing controversy between
England and the United States is in
a fair way of adjustment by means
of arbitration - This is the method
which should be adopted for the so
lution of this quarrel several years
ago, and that it has been so long de
layed does not reflect altogether
creditably upon the diplomacy eitlnr
of the United States or England, or
both countries. We should suppose
after the joint commission which has
been examining into this question
has got together, it could prepare a
a report containing a - number of
agreed-upon facts, and upon the ba
sis of these facts'arbitration could be
successfully carried on. If, having
settled the BebriDg sea troubles, tbe
administration at Washington will
turn its attention to the Canadian
fisheries question, and put a final
end to this controversy, it will have
accomplished a good practical woik
even though a settlement thus ar
rived at may be wanting in those
features which sometimes accompany
a brilliant foreign policy.
Says the Amerieus-Tiraes Recorder:
Depravity seems to have reached the
lowest ebb, when the names of refined
cultured women like Mrs Jefferson Da
vis and her daughter should be signed
to begging letters by miserable, cow
ardly forgers, aud sent to near friend-
all over the country. Such an insult is
necessarily very mortifying to these
high born, well bred women, and
merits prompt aud severe punisbrnen',
which will doubtless be tbe culprit’s
potion as soon as he is discovered.
The Demosthenians of the State
University at Athens have decided to
erect a new hall upon the Kollegr

You need feel no fear, brother. If
these be jour sentiments the boys
would not take a cent of your money.
They do intend to buila a hall, but not
if they have to depend upon such senti
ments as these. Never fear, brother.
OUR WATER SUPPLY.
Tbe citizens of Athens will not be
silent on tbe water works question
because tbe rain has supplied tem
porary relief. Tbe question is by
no means settled.
Tbe fact is. still plain to every
sensible man in Athens that our va
let supply falls far short of the de
mand. This is not as it should
be. - •
There is such grave importance
attached to this matter that it ought
not to be allowed to grow cold i» our
THE DEMOSTHENIAN SOCIETY-
It is surely a commendable spirit
on the part of the young men of tbe
Demosthenian Society that prompts
them to take steps towards securing
a new ball.
The old building is in a very di
lapidated condition, and needs re->
mo’d ling. Tbe effort that is being
made to bring about this importan'
and much needed improvement
should receive all tbe encouragement
and -success that it so richly de
serves. The students in the Uni
versity who compose the active
membership of this worthy old insti
tution are not able themselves to
subscribe all the money that is
necessary to accomplish the end iD
view. They will, therefore, call
upon tbe alumni members of their
society to aid them, and the Banner
believes the money will surely come
Let every Demosthenian com* to
the assistance of tbe old society o f

tion live on.
HELP THE HARVEST HOME-
To day in our news columns we
publish a full list of the committees
at work for the Harvest Home.
We again commend their labor of
love to the people of Athens, believ
ing that nothing more need be said
in their behalf.
Surely this noble work of charity
in thefair name of Athens will know
no defeat. It never has been so.
It never wilt.
In Viiginia there are 15,000.000 acres
of arable lunil lying untilled. Tilt-
greater part of it is the property of
large holders who get no income from
it, and who do not possess the capital
for its cultivation. The state authori
ties have come to their aid and are striv
ing to attract immigrants who will take
it up and put it to service.

Few people have suffered more severely
from dyspepsia than Mr. E. A. McMahon, a
well known grocer of Staunton, Va. He says:
“ Before 1878 I was in excellent health, weigh
ing over 200 pounds. In that year an ailment
developed Into acute dyspepsia, and soon 1
was reduced to 162 pounds, suffering burning
sensations in the stomach,
palpitation of the heart,
nausea, and indigestion.
I could not sleep, lost all
heart tn my work, had fits of melancholia, and
tor days at a time I would have welcomed
death. I became morose, sullen and Irritable,
and for eight years life was a burden. 1 tried
many physicians and many remedies. One day
a workman employed by me suggested that

sia. I did so, and before taking the whole of
a bottle I began to feel like a new man. The
terrible pains to which I had been subjected,
ceased, the palpitation of the heart subsided,
my stomach became easier, nausea disap
peared, and my entire system began to
tone up. With returning
strength came activity of
mind and body. Before
the fifth bottle was taken
I had regained-my former weight and natural
'condition. I am today well and I ascribe it
to taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.”
