Ge«»re Ait <nn.il matter of the second clan % SCHOOL OPENING. . i - utt high school will b< gin tln r>22 23 scholastic yt<ar nex ,\i : i ning. The year's work will embrace nine months, divided into fall and spring terms of eigh teen weeks each. The City board of education has fixed a matriculation fee of $1 pei term for each pupil attending the school, lo meet the incidental ex penses, making necessary repairs on the building keeping the cam pus in order, fuel, lights, water, etc. Children attending from the coun try, not assigned to the school by the County board of education, will he required to pay $1 a month l nil ion in addition to the matricu lation fee. It is the purpose of the City board of education to fur nish to the children of the commit nity the best school facilities at the lowest possible cost. The faculty, who will have charge of the school for the new year, are: l’rof. W. B. Cornelius, principal and teacher of the high school grades: Miss Elva Roberson, from Blackshear, eo-teacher of the high school grades; Miss Hester Paradise, from McDuffie county, teacher of the fourth, fifth and sixt.ii grades; Miss Edith Phillips, from Hawkinsville, teacher of the second and third grades; Mrs Cor nelius will teach the first grade; Miss Lorcna Biggins, from Black shear, will have charge of t he mus ic department. It will he observed that the fac ulty is composed entirely of new people to the community. They come to the Pearson high school bringing good testimonials for effi ciency In their respective depart ments. But they cannot succeed in their work without the hearty co-operation of the patrons and pu pils of the school The Tribune appeals to all con cerned to lay aside all preconceived notions about this or that proced ure and determine to help and not binder the cause of education in Peearson the coming year. It will take this to bring success. Prof. Cornelius desires that the townspeople and all others inter ested in the success of the school to attend the opening, exercises Monday morning. Let the audito rium he liileik with patrons aud friends of the school. The -Ocilla Star brings it fresh to memory that "The same com mand (hat orders mankind to keep the Sabbath day holy and to re fraiu from all kinds of work, tells ns to labor for six days,” and sug gests that “Many a Sabbatarian forgets this part of the command.” This is a great big truth. The Tribune editor is not con cerned specially in the judgeship race over in the Waycross judicial circuit, hut ho exceedingly regrets some Of the partisan boosting that lias appeared in some of the news papers of that circuit. Some of it is in exceedingly had taste and the boosted candidate cannot hope to benefit by it. It is calculated to injure rather than to help such candidate. Out it out. The legislature just adjourned will be noted in history more for what it did not do than for what it did. Verily, it did not rally to (lov. Hardwick’s economical pro gram or anything else he favored. Hence the political capital he ex pected to gather from its delibera tions did not materialize. Accord ing to Bobby Burns, "The best laid schemes o’ mice and men gang aft a gley." It is unfortunate when the Executive and Legislative depart incuts of a government eanuot work together in harmony. But so it is and will he when egotism and over weening self-esteem gets in the saddle. Tlje legislature did a good work when it provided that a county could lawfully use county funds in the employing of county and home economies agents. In coun ties where competent and active people have been employed in this work, they have made themselves popular with the boys and girls, interesting them in agriculture, stock and poultry raising and in home economics in general. The young people become attached to these things and are harder to he drawn away from the farms to the uncertain employments of t h e cities aud towns. Atkinson coun ty needs such teachers to lay the foundation of her future prosperity. CORBETT’S STEWARDSHIP. The record of Hon. Aaron Cor bitt’s act i vity as Atkinson county’s repiesenlative does not loom up very large, but he grasped the ieeds of the county and state with creditable precision. The only measure with which he had to deal directly affecting At itiusof county was an amendment o the Act, creating a Board of Commissioners of Hoads and Reve nues. The amendment, the pass igo of which he secured at the present session, provides iu section me that each district elects its >» n Commissioner who must be a loohoitlei — that is must be the owner of real estate, and section wo provides that they shall pub lish in the official newspaper each mont h a complete statement of all monies received during the past month and from what source it was received, also a complete state ment of all monies disbursed dur mg the past mont h and for what it was expended; that twice a year, just before the meeting of the grand jury, they sl*nll secure an audit of their books by a compet ent public accountant, which they shall submit to the inspection of the grand jury next following the making of such audit. The record shows that Mr. Cor bett voted for the repeal of the tax equalization law, which was killed in the senate. He favored the measure which provided for a four mills ad valorem tax plus a three per cent, tax on incomes above a minimum amount. He voted for the Australian bal lot system which passed both hous es to become effective in 1924. lb voted also for biennial sessions of the legislature which also was kill ed in the senate. He was chary of appropriations and bond issues. He favored matching money with the Federal government iu the in terest of improved roads through out the State, and this was provid ed for by using the automobile and the oil taxes, amounting to $2,000,000 or more, for that pur pose. He thinks it will furnish all the funds the Highway depart ment can use to advantage on road building in one ycai —about $5, 000,000. On the tick eradication question he favored the repeal of the law until he had an interview with Hr. Peter Bahnsen, state veterinarian. Dr. Bahnsen, from this interview', showed a thorough knowledge of the cattle dipping activity in every part of the state where it is now in operation, and congratulated the cattle owners of Atkinson county upon their faithful obedience to the law and almost pledged his word and honor, should they con tinuo to dip as faithfully to the end of the season, he would declare the county to be tick free. Hence. Mr. Corbett feels that the end of this vexations burden to his con stituency is in sight. This seems to he the wish and expectation of the cattle owners of Atkinson county. Under the pres sure of the law her officials have prepared vats at convenient, points in the county, comprising the hulk of the expense and, if by dipping the next three months at an addi tional expense of about $;i,000, and be declared tick free, they will have acted wisely. Cattle owners of the county, are almost an unit in saying "Let's finish the job.” Representative Corbett is a good mixer, a pleasing companion, and made many friends among his col leagues iu the House and also among the members of the Senate. Mr. Wm. Solomon says the melon growers of Atkinson county, mem bers of the Melon Growers Associ ation, have received a fair price for their merenantable melons. Their loss in growing melons this year was not a question of market or price, hut the protracted rains which rendered the larger portion of the crop unfit for market. He says he is not discouraged; will try it over again next year aud try to profit, by his failures this year. He says it is a fact that the Associa tion members sold their melons at a better price than those who were not members and. hence, he is con vinced that all farmer’s products should he marketed on the co-oper ative plan. He is a good Atkiusou county farmer, living four miles north of Pearson. A statistician gives out the in formation that 1,432,051 more au tomobiles were registered iu America in 1922 than in 1921, aud it has been observed that such in crease does not point to a “Notion of starvelings and beggars." No. Out it does point to decreased hank accounts w hich some ear own ers can ill afford. The farmers of Atkinson county, indeed of every part of South Georgia, will be making hay during the September sunshine. Let the slogan, "Hog. hominy and hay,” mean more now to the people of South Georgia than ever before- PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, AUGUST 25. 1922 Share ||ljj -of Extra Mileage ~.
