[Thursday, February 2, 1899. itercd in the ;>o»toffice at Lmcolnton, Ga.. an ud ciais* matter. iswerto “Hoosier’s” Problem. he Editor of the IIoxe Joiner*!.: : lease allow me space to reply to it part of “Hoosier’s Rejoinder” PC ted to me. iVho can but admire his pen jture of himself, as he makes ,dy to swamp down upon an im uary enemy from his mountain tness, presenting as he does the e inspiring spectacle of a mighty rrior, dressed in the full costume t a savage chief, armed with his , ■Bully tomahawk and scalping knil'e, ■daunted and defiant? Look! as he ||||uts the topmost peaks his of attitudes Little m n tain. Behold i platidudes, his beatitude and ignitude as he stands shouting at : top of his voice that be is still (the ring and not at all disfigured, die yet he swings his tomahawk above bis head like a mighty Max! But Hoosier can’t bore a |ao-inch auger bole with a gimlet. ■But enough of this. Now Hoosier Hi ns reason together. Last week 1 Id down a principle upon which to the salaries of countty line lichers like yourself. You replied ■ giving me a little foolish prob jm. However, I worked it out, and H e answer is: (You dodged the ■Now as you have the data I ask fSu to give a table of the white that will show the location name.or otherwise. Alsa.-.show Hacher, Bfoo]; by name or grade, of each please designate plainly each Aunty line school and teacher, then the salaries of each teacher for of the. years 1896-97-98-99. Man the amount of money each Kuity line teacher received from counties for each of said years. Sheu as you say this table is so B>ic;d and flavored with “nepotism favoritism” that “it verily Blnketh,” I ask you to make another ible of yourself and: prorate the ^Eioresaid salaries to . the ; aforesaid of each school in such ■mounts as you think will be equita and just. Please add the -money from other counties to the teachers’ H Llary, who are entitled to it, tor of the aforesaid years. I ask Ihis that I may get the benefit of wisdom in fixing salaries, and do not see how you can refuse, for Ly refusing you will place yourself the illogical position of abusing board’s plan and still refuse to one better. Your salary for the 4th quarter jlust year was cut because the state informed the board, 'Ivlien the school fund for last year 'Ivas reported, that there were $200 to the credit of our county, over by mistake from 1897. We this sum' in fixing sala I-ies, but when the funds for the 4tli were sent in, the said $200 left off and we were informed tune that : said Credit was a that we hud received our amount for ’97, hut hoped it give no inconvenience, so the loss was divided betweeiv all the teachers, and I hope this will explain Hoosier’s “cut” for the 4t’h quarter, [t was no fault of ours. I accept Hoosier’s denial of aid at •xaminatious. I did not mean, by my question, aid in a degree that would imply perjury I tr thful ave always and regarded him as a tr c honest man. also very gallant, but [iable to err as other, men. jfow in conclusion I will gay, that I have neither time nor in¬ clination to continue this corres¬ pondence. I have laid down the principles that govern me in fixing salaries and locating schools; I be¬ lieve they are right, and, I too will [lot be swerved from discharging by duties, as long as I am a member If If tbe board, by any threats, ridicule bluster. I too am built that way. I | Respectfully, E. SXBOIHER. A, Observations by ‘‘Observer.” To the Editor of the Home JprnEAt: The financial situation of the farmers as a class’Is deplorable in this section. Not* over one in ten were able to pay their expenses, with no balance to begin with, and here but Utile corn, two-thirds of the crop being rotten. In a section thirty or forty miles from market, we can do nothing else but make cotton a money crop. We can not diversify crops, as corn, oats and garden truck we cannot market to any advantage. Here our lands are assessed at $3 per acre and taxed accordingly— land that cannot be sold at all, for there is no sale for it. Such lands are rented. Now there is one place near me, owned by an old lady not able to work. She received $60 rent; tbe tax collector oollects $14 of that, leaving $46 for her support. Not a dollar can she spare for repairs, and in a short time tbe buildings will rotand fall, andjent will be less every year until tbe place cannot be rented at all. Yet this heavy taxation must go on until all she lias is swallowed up in this gulf of exactions. This i3 not an isolated case; hundieds, yea thousands, of just such are to be found all over Georgia—ot superannuated helpless widows, orphans and men. And what is one-half of this for? To educate a race whose whole instinct is to defraud and pilfer the land owner, and soon all the lands of tlje poorer whites will be con¬ fiscated under tbe guise of taxes and we will be a lot of homeless tenantry. The picture is a gloomy one, yet will be a true one ii present methods are persisted in. The mountain (legis¬ lature) has labored and “lo! a mouse is produced.” for Oh! tbe how cutting grateful down should we be of the tax rate. The cry of damage to the country schools is all stuff. Take the returns to Co. School Com. and it will be found that two-thirds of the pupils do not attend school over tkiee months of the session. Why? It is all they can be spared out of the farms. Now why should people so poor as the farmers be taxed such a rate when their children get no benefit (or very little), and whereas, another class go to school every day; at least their monthly returns show about that average, 49 to 50; tbe other class 28 to 50. Now who pays the taxes and who gets the most benefit. The answer can be readily given. To sum up, ope class pays tbe tax and another gets the greater part of the benefits. I hold that it is not just to tax any¬ one for the direct benefit of another and I think I have some good people in mind who are of the same opinion. In this connection a great many of the teachers call their pay “a pit¬ tance.” How many a poor farmer would be months glad of bard half as work much after the twelve as teachers get for half the time? Oh! times. Ob! customs. How we are to tide this year is the all-absorbing thought among farmers, i How many white children are barred from the public books? schools Not¬ by tbe order for all new withstanding the hard times the poor people who can not clothe their children decently for school must get these books or they must keep them at home. One generous $25 lady of Columbia county gave to the poor around her for books, so that they could attend school, but all sections have not such ladies. Uni¬ formity of text books has been forced at a bad time for the children of the very class that the free school was organized for, and yet “great is the free school.” Ohserver.
