The Truth About the Negro. (From The Albany Herald.) • It is not an unusual thing to bear men of affairs, and especial¬ ly those who give grandstand performances for political pur¬ poses, express the wish that we ■were rid of the negro heie in the 8puth, and there is now at least one district in this state that is represented by a man who fought his way into congress on a plat¬ form that declared to the world that he was “agin the nigger’’ on general principles. We have two or three newspapers more or less prominence in Geor¬ gia that have been a separation of the races or deportation of the negroes. It might be inferred from utterances of these and newspapers that there is growing anti-negro sentiment in Georgia and that the people this state are ready to part com¬ pany with the negro and any movement looking to the de¬ portation of the negro, either on the installmentplan or as a •wouid be hailed with tions of gratitude and joy. when the true test is applied rhe real sentiments of the are brought out quite a slate of feeling towards the gro is revealed, and the about the Southern white ■estimate of the negro and his de¬ pendence upon him as a finds expression in no terms. We have been led to this line thought by reading a dispatch the morning papers which tells the receipt of a letter by troller General Wright from tax collector of Carroll county. In hub letter the tax collector ex¬ plains that a Mr. McNeal, of laata, had visited Carroll reoenfly.and ^shipped a of negro laborers to his cotton plantation in Mississippi, people of Carroll county were pleased with having a man into their county and take !«ogro38 away, and the tax lector wanted to know of Comptroller General if MoNeal was not liable for a tax for send¬ ing negroes out of the state. Comptroller answered the letter as we are told the dispatch above referred to. calling'the tax collector’s attention to a decision ■t 1 the supreme court in the 114th Georgia, page 53, in the case of Theus vs. the state. The opin¬ ion of the court in the decision referred to is that the law did not apply to anyone who was carry¬ ing laborers out of the state for Jria own use. We have a prohibitory tax on emigration agents in this state, arid it is a well known faetdhat was passed to stop the of negro laborers from the state. It is also a well known fact whenever or wherever man from anywhere down here in the negro t»hire our negroes sr to an emigration movement tHern the whit© people, almost a man, rise up against him. not this the truth, does it sehow conclusively that we ■only don’t want to get rid of negro, but that we regard who come and want to hire away from us or who %o organize emigration ments amongst them as our mies? Coming right down to the truth and being honest with ee ves as well as with the and the balance of the world, w ■ want to get rid of the * How and then we hear men ing “separation” and tk»o” and some cf the pers and politicians make anti-negro grand-stand ■ plays, but any movement looking to the removal of the negro from Georgia would meet with such opposition as would produce a revolution. Why, then, not be honest with ourselves and the ne¬ gro as well, and do what we can to improve him, morally, intel leetually and industriously, for his place in the community? A cure for Eczema, My baby had eczema so bad that its head was a solid mass of scabs, and its hair all came out. I tried many remedies but none seemed to do any permanent good until I used DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve The eczema is cured, the scabs are gone and the little one’s scalp is perfectly clean and healthy and its hair iB growing beautifully again. I can¬ not give too much praise to De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve.— Frank Farmer, Bluff Citj, Ky. In buying Witch Hazel Salve look out for counterfeits.

Four states, New York, Mas¬ sachusetts, New Jersey andCon necticutt, have in the past ten years spent about $10,000,000 as state aid for building wagon roads. About $6,000,000 has been added to this sum by the counties and towns where the state roads were built, and about 2,500 miles of state roads have been completed in these four states. Pennsylvania last year appropriated $6,500,000 for the building of state roads. Where ever state roads have been built the selling price ol farm lands has been increased from 20 per cent to 50 per cent, and even more in some cases, The 2,500 miles of state roads already built, have been of such benefit that they have caused a great demand for mere gooct roads. Five states found it good to aid in the build¬ ing of wagon roads by state ap¬ propriations. Why should pot the national government aid in building roads in every state in the union? Congressman Brownlow of Tennessee has answered this question by introducing in con¬ gress a bill appropriating $24, 000,000 as national aid for build¬ ing wagon roads. The sum is available at the rate of eight mil li m dollars a year for three years, and is distributed to each state according to its population, except that no state shalljreceive less than $250,000. Georgia’s pro i’ata -would be $624,000. The states or counties receiving this money must add a like amount. This appropriation will build between 6 and 7 thousand miles of .splendid national road, and will build from one to five hun¬ dred miles o! nard road in each state of the union. It seems to many farmers that it is time for the national government to aid them, and they hope the bill will become a law. Atlanta News.

Attorney General Hart ren¬ dered an opinion to-day, at the request of State School Commis¬ sioner Merritt, on the right of a county board of education to make a rule that married women shall hot be eligible to teacher’s places. The case arose over the fact that in one of the counties a young woman teacher married secretly because of the existence of the rule. . % Wh*n it was discovered that she was married it was proposed to dismiss her. Judge Hart holds that such a rule is arbitrary, unjust and un¬ reasonable. Though the board may not have transcended the letter of the law in adopting it, he says, if the board will not abolish the rule the people ought to abolish the board.
