EDITORIAL. NOTES.
It seems to be the concensus of
opinion that our coroner should
withdraw his resignation.
If the Populists of this district
fail to nominate a candidate for
congress they will not yote lor any
ltepubl ican can did ate.
Lincoln, Columbia and McDuffie
are the OUfiGuard of Populism and
“may die but never surrender.—
McDuffie Enterprise.

The Augusta Chronicle is author
ity for the statement that the Re
publicans of this district will put
out a candidate against Congressman
r Fleming.
idly.
The talk of opening a barroom in
this county is all stuff. We hardly
think any sane man would be so
foolish as to make the attempt in a
county where the prohibition senti¬
ment is so strong.
Col. A. E. Boone, of Zanesville,
tkc veteran railroad builder,
still at work on his proposed
railroad from the coal beds of Ken¬
tucky, by way of Knoxville and
Augusta to Savannah, and he is at
present going over the route ol the
proposed road with a party of Eng
Jish capitalists, with a view of their
putting money m the undertaking.
The road, if built, will traverse a
fine section of country, which for
the greater part of the route, is
undeveloped, and will be one ot the
most direct routes from the coal
teds to the seaboard.
The result of the state election
is not encouraging to Populists but
not so bad as our friend the Con¬
stitution would have us believe.
The principles we have fought for
are still alive and we see no reason
why Populist's should quit the fight.
If the reforms we demand are
enacted into law and if by reason of
dissensions among the leaders the
party nationally should be torn
assunder, it will be ■ time enough
then to talk about new alignments.
It will be well to go slowly in such
matters. Even- our political oppo¬
nents will have more respect for us
if we carry our fight right up into
the mouth of the enemy’s cannon
and get moored down in defeat than
if we prove turn coats and are allow¬
ed to become scavenges under the
protecting arm of the enemy of our
fellow comrades who were slain on
the battlefield—McDuffie Enterprise.
Washington has at last gotten a
long felt want. The opening of the hi
Atlanta Dental Rooms is an event
the history fitted' of Washington. They
have up elegant rooms in the
new King building and will be per
maneutly located There. The chairs,
instruments engines and other equip¬
ments are the latest and the best.
All new, everything neat and clean
as a pin. On account people of high had price
denistry a good many to
neglect their teeth, as they could not
pay high prices, but the Atlanta
Dental Rooms have opened a branch
office at Washington and no doubt
will get all they can do. Dr.
their inaneger, is a fine
dentist, up to all the latest methods
in dentistry. He gives a guarantee
of all work. Give them a trial is all
they ask and you will be pleased.
We predict a big success for them in
Washington. Read their advertise
jjient in other columns of this paper.

SOME SUGGESTIONS
From the County School Com¬
missioner.
To the Teachers and Patrons of
Schools of Lincoln County:
Bv order of tire Board of Educa¬
tion I have published in this issue
of the Journal a contract between
the Board of Education and the
American Rook Co. It will he seen
from this contract that there is to be
some changes in our text books, but
the changes are not compulsory un¬
til the year 1900. In other words
both the old and new text, books can
be used in our schools at the discre¬
tion of the patrons and teachers
unfit then, when the new text books
only will be used.
It is to be hoped that all the mer¬
chants in the county will provide
themselves with a supply of the new
textbooks, but individuals can buy
these books direct, from the pub¬
lishers if they see fit to do so.
'Maury’s geography, which has re¬
cently . been adopted also, can he
procured from the University Pub¬
lishing Company on schools the same will terms.
As most of the soon
be in operation for the year 1899 I
notify the teachers and patrons that
I have blank contracts between
teachers and patrons. Experience
ought to have convinced both that
such contracts should be made.
Complaints come from teachers that
their patrons are apathetic in send¬
ing their children to school; and in
some schools to such an extent that
the schools have to be discontinued
for want of a quorum. (7 pupils).
Another complaint and a general
one is the irregularity children. of attendance
of many of the A teacher
cannot be expected to learn a pupil
that comes two or three days in a
week and loses as many. A child
cannot be kept in classes by such
irregularities. To obviate this each
patron should put down only such
scholars as lie can send regularly.
The complaints of the patrons are
“that the teachers loose too much
time”—too late getting to school
house and too soon leaving it. Every
teach of should teach at least seven
hours a day, but this question of
time can be settled by contract uitli the
patrons. In regard to vacations do; it
school board has nothing to is
a matter between patrons and teacher.
The patrons should have control in
this and it should be settled by
contract at the beginning of the
school year. Other matters, such as
fire wood, school furniture, etc.,
could be con tracted for.
To conclude, both .patrons and
teachers will at once see the necessity
of these contracts. As it now stands
they are .independent of each other
and it is a source of annoyance to
the School Board and an injury to
the cause of education.
