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. ) Remember!

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. N. A. Cra wford, p. S. C. Card of Thanks. It is with great pleasure that I thank the board of education of tin's county for the courtesy shown the teachers in the recent adoption of books for the schools of the county. It is a pleasure to aid in such im¬ portant matters when the educational interests are involved. Very “ respectfully, Geo. D. Godard, Ch’r School Book Committee.
