PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Just at this time, several inhuen~
tel newspapers are leading off in
fierce attacks upon the public school
system in Georgia, demanding that
It be abolished. Their objections to
the existence of the common free
schools are that the white people
are taxed to rsise the bulk Of the
money to sustain them, aud that the
negro, who owns but little property,
comes in for equal enjoyment of the
benefits-thst the white people are
educating their own children and the
negroes too-that every man should
educate his own children that edu-
cation ruins the negro as laborer.
The school fund, as we understand
it, comes from the following sources
The poll tax collected from each le-
gal voter the rental of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, and the State
tax on liquors, exhibitions, shows,
&c. From this it can be seen upon
whom the burden rests.
Now, to abolish the system, would
require a vote of the people, as the
State Constitution provides for q
public school system. Article s,
section l, paragraph l, Gays:
"There shall be thorough system
of common schools for the education
of children 10 the elementary branch
es of an English education only, as
nearly uniform as practicable, the
expenses of which shall be provided
for by taxation, or otherwise. The
schools shall be free to all children OF
the State, but separate schools shall
be provided for the white and cslor-
ed children"
The Constitution cannot be chang
ed by Legislative enactment. To
repeal the free school system, an
amendment would have to be submits
ted to the people. Then comes the
question, will the coIored man vote
to blot it out when he knows biz
children are bene6ciaries of the sys'
tenn I We apprehend not.
Az far as we are concerned we
are willing for the people to vote OF
it and settle permanently this cease
less agitation and discussion of The
subject. The people either want i
or they do not want it.

OUR WOMEN MUST BE PROTECT

Saturday afternoon Gary Cum
bingham, young farmer in Pike
county living between Griffin and
Zebulon, and one Gresham, we're in
the field at work, on Cunuinghsm's
place. A negro man known as Mil
ton Mangham went to Cunningham's
house and found Mrs. Cunningham
aud her little girl in the yard alone.
The negro caught her by the arm
and attempted an assault. Her little
daughter ran at once to the field
near by, and gave the alarm. Both
Cunningham and Gresham buried
to the house, and finding the negro
still there, Cunningham was about
to kill him when be was restrained
by Gresham. He was finally pesusd'
ed to arrest the brute and carry
him before q justice. They took
him aud started in the direction OF
the Justices house, bat Sunday the
negro was found on the roadside
dead, shot through and through.
There are other versions of the at
fair, but this is given US as the
most reliable. Macon Telegraph.
Such startling and shocking items
as the above, meet our eyes in near
ly every paper we pick up. 1t
appears that the negroes cannot
keep their hands off of the white
women of this country. Wherever
lazy, skulking, tramping negro
finds a defenceless white female
alone, bis british lust prompts him
to commit an indecent and criminal
assault upon her. Such outrages
are so frequent that it is truly alarm
ing. These british beasts just as
we'll understand once az for all time,
that the white men of this country
do not intend that the purity and
sacredness of person of our virtuous
white women shall be despoiled and
contaminated by their foul touch
And the black villain who does So
had better remember that he crosses
the dead line. Our mothers, wives
daughters and sisters must be pro-
tected at ell hazards.

Col. Jack Brown and Postmaster
General Gresham have had high
words. Gresham, who seems to
know a thing or two, told Jack
Brown that all of the Southern Re-
publicaus are damned scoundrels, u
with big ID. Whereupon Colonel
Jack took a snip" and called Gres>
ham dude aud an idiot and a lunaiic
and Hoosier. Furthermore, Col
Jack told him that he had never seen
his equal for bad manners during his
travels in this country and on the
continent of Europe. The ''nip"
made Col. Jack imagine he had
travelled in Europe. Col. Jack was
never further north than New York,
or further south than Americus.-
Moreover, Col. Jack said he had in
nate respect for dudes, idiots and 10
natics. 1t is to be presumed that
the snip" was getting in its work
Just here. But for this he would
have slapped Gresham's face, in fact
he would have whipped Grant
for a similar offense, because
he respected Grant. The P NJ re
butted by saying Col. Jack was too
little for him to notice, and that he
did not mind bis vaporings, but that
Southern Republicans were damned
scouudrels" all the same. 1t is
very pretty little quarrel as it stands.
The country would be pleased to see
Col. Jack and the P. NJ. meet in q
twenty-four foot ring, with hard
gloves or stuffed stockings. Macon
