THURSDAY, MAY 28, t«01.
Elsewhere in our columns this
week we publish an article on
achool books which ought to in
terest our people concerned about
education. We have been using
books published by Northern pub
lishing houses long enough, and
if we "practieo what we preach,”
(that is to patronize homo indus
try) let us start with this oppor
tunity by adopting Southern made
books. The B. F. Johnson Pub,
Co., Richmond, Ya., is a thor
oughly southern institution and
one that merits our support. Wo
are getting "plum sick” of hear
ing the North abused for their
vileness toward# the South and
then the Southerners go there
book* to use in our publicschools. |
We have no animosity toward,
the North or their literature, but
■imply think that we ought to
use our books as a retaliation if
nothing more. Some time in June
—perhaps the first Tuesday—our
School Board will hold a meeting
for the purpose of making some
change in books; provided, said
meeting is not postponed oil ao
count of a contemplated religious
school that may be located here,
which may demand a different set
of books.

SECTIONALISM.
th « blowing article
from the Harmony Grove Citizen,
of Jackson county, which is so
pertinent to the situation in our
that we print it in full:
“We are told that sectionalism
is fust disappearing from the land,
that there is no North, no South,
no East, no Wi st.,—that the North
and the South are beginning to
understand each other. This is
as it should he. Our past is too
glorious and our future possibili
ties too great to mar either with
prejudice or strife.
There are somethings, however,
for which our people should con
tend peaceably. For instance, our
children should not lie taught that
their fathers were ‘rebels and
traitors’ as they are frequently
called in many of the school his
tories written and published at
the North. Progressive educators,
school hoards, Camps of Confed
erate Veterans, etc., all over the
South have by their earnest efforts
any co-operation eliminated these
unfair and unsatisfactory histo
ries in many places. The fact, is,
so much attention has been given
to the history question that nat
ions ana even ninny teachers have
entirely overlooked the fact that
many of the school readers now
used are ten times more sectional
thaii the worst histories have been,
A series of readers is now being
used in Georgia which contains
not a single selection from a sin
gle Georgia writer, and less than
one page out <>f a hundred of
southern literature of any kind.
Is this because Georgians or
Southerners have never produced
anything worthy to he remetnber
e( | f Where is the long line of
Southern Scholars, statesmen and
heroes living and dead who have
graced the pages of American
history and American literature?
If such neglect is not sectional
ism, the writer does not know
what it is.
It is refreshing, therefore, to
find among the hooks submitted
to our County Board, a series of
readers published by the only
publishing house of the South—
the B. K. Johnson Publishing Co.,
Richmond, Va., which, while it is
sound pedagogical!y gives the
writers of all sections of our groat
{ fitting recognition. They

toil, or New York, or Richmond
or Atlanta. Georgia is represent
ed in them by such men ns Henry
W. Grady, J. L. M. Curry and
others.
To say that the books have been
thoroughly revised by Prof. E. C.
Branson of the State Normal at
Athens is sufficient guarantee of
their adaptability to public school
work.
For the first t into the people of
our county have an opportunity
to secure, not only Histories but
Readers, Spellers and Arithmetics
written by those who nr • sym

The Tennille News last week,
with 10 pages, was* a hummer.
The News is issued twice-a-week
and from both news and mnehun
ioal standpoint compares favora

in the state. This particular is
sue was its Chautauqua edition,
and was profusely illustrated with
pictures of the prominent business
and society people of the citv.
OUR TRIP TO NORTH GA ,
Editor of The Times:
By request of my friends I will
give a short account of my trip to
Athens week before last which
was both pleasant and profitable.
Athens is a beautiful learning, city and is
truly a city educational of around
which the interests of
the State revolves. The Univers
ity, Lucy Cobb, and the State
Normal are institutions of which
all Georgia should feel proud.
Our visit to the State Normal
was delightful. To see so many
bright, intelligent and beautiful
girls and manly boys from every
section of the state, seated around
the rostrum eagerly and anxious
ly seeking knowledge at the foun
tain head of education of our
grand old state, was made inspiring in
the extreme, and me feel so
glad that I was a Georgian. What
a powerful influence these young
men and women will be, scattered
throughout the state, and in the
schools of the country, I could
not help thinking when being in
troduced to the young men attend
ing school at the with University—am
I shaking hands a boy who,
in time to come, will he a great
lawyer or statesman ; is this young
man to he a leading statesman or
great scientist; will th‘« v.iignt
Vii”"l. unUei the guiding
hand of such a great man as Hon.
Chancellor W. B. Hill, in time
astonish the world with his litera
ry ability; such is indeed possible
and probable under such able in
structions.
The exhibit of Athens’ city
schools was simply wonderful to
me. 1 saw many things that will
benefit me in tny work as superin
tendent of schools, wish our
boys and girls could see this work.
It would stimulate them to work
harder in school than ever before.
My trip convinces me that we
must get a “move on us”—work
harder, fake more interest in the
education of our children if we ex
pect them to keep pace with the
balance of the state.
I tell you my fellow citizens the
people of Georgia are awake to
this grand cause; she is making
rapid strides upwards. Ten yours
ago she was put down ns the most
illiterate state in the union, to
day she ranks tenth; and white
Georgia is climbing up let us see
to it that our hoys and girls are
keeping pace with the great edu
cational wave now sweeping over
the state.
Our lands are as good, and in
my opinion better than north
Georgia. I tell you, we have one
hundred farms in Pierce county
that 1 would prefer either to the
best farm T satv while I was gone.
1 strained my eyes to see some
real farms hut i did not, all that
1 could see was red hills, deep
washes, no fence, little old weasly
negros plowing little old mules,
ns they looked to me on a fast
moving train, plowing around and
around those old red hills, little
bottoms subject to overflow, and

often I could see a little

feed on weeds, (no grass). It made
me feel sorry for the negro boy
and more so for the poor old cow.
1 wish our farmers could see
north Georgia. They would most
surely be content with their homes
in the garden spot of the state—

Cow Peas For the Table.
Of course every fanner in Georgia
knews the excellence of the peavine for
hay and as a restorer of wornout soil,
and he is also familiar with the cow
pea as a nutritious food for the milch
cow. The cow pea is also much used
for the table and some varieties, as the
black-eyed pea and Crowder pea. are
very palatable.—State Agricultural De
Exercise is a good thing for the stock

PLANKHOUSE DOTS.
The crops in this vicinity were
never better, especially cotton.
The singing at the Plankhouse
Sunday was largely attended and
enjoyed.
Mr. Owen Herrin went fishiwg
last week and fished in the water
as The Time* suggested, and had
good lock. [Told you so.—Ed.]
Quite a number of our people
was called before the grand jury
last week.
The singing at Mr Archie Hall’s
Sunday afternoon was appreciated
Mrs. Hall acting organist.
On account of cotton thinning
our school is in the back ground
this week.
The pinder sociable at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Echoll’s Sat
urday night was well attended by
our young people.
One of our young men lost his
hat last Sunday under peculiar
circumstances. He threw it over
a cow’s horn and she wore the
hat. Buy another one, Miles.
The writer wishes to state that
he heartily enjoyed the fish fry
at the Anderson ferry Saturday.
Mr. Walter Davis is a frequent
visitor over the creek; must be
some attraction, Walter.
