that body was quite refreshing and the report more es-
pacay that part referring the salary question: was
model OF SIMPLICITY To those stockholders who depend
for their living on their dividends Out don't get then IL
must have been truly gratifying 20 think that the cbiei
managers had managed so well by jndicious redneuon
OF their interiors salaries escape the general ue
vastation and that their mserably small salaries
ranging from $50 to $50 per day, had still been paid
with regularity, and that the cruel report when Cd
famed currency in the local press few months ago that
all the salarie. from the President downward had been
reduced was a false and malicious SANDER
The great body OF the stockholders doubtless realize
the Justice which led TO the cutting down OF the wages OF
the wOrkiugmen, whose pay amounted III. many IN

TO even ~ p a day. They saw the value Of such

can for the race but they are doing much more than
they have done in past years, and much more than
other Southern States doing Now, instead OF
comparing the cost Of school books for black and for
white chdren-a grossly unfair test when the ee-
mentary nature of the instruction given to colored
children is borne in mind-let us turn back to the
statistics for 1874. In that year the number OF col
ored schools in the State was 412 against loo IN
1876, and the number of colored scholars 20,7S6
against 1887 in 1870. Remarkable progress has
been made since the general school law was
enacted in 1870, and Georgia which used to be so
far behind in the cause Of education, Is now setting
an excellent example to the South Let MS at least
commend her people for what they have done, even
