A Man who Doesn't Want the school
Boys Taken from Their Studies to
Work the Roads.
OK THE HILLS NEAR RYANVILLE, GA,
July 3.-EdjtOr Morning NelcS: Each
year there is a conflict with us between
Road Commissioners and the schools,
from the fact that the road law makes il
the duty of all persons from l6-year-old
up to work the roads. Now our road au-
thorlties generally make it convenient to
work the roads in July or August, and
take the boys out OF the schOol-ro0m who
are not accustomed to the sun and put
them in the bitches. This often amounts
to giving them fever without saying any
thing about other disagreeable features
connected with this business Now l am
of opinion that if the matter is agitated
some of our good and handsome legisia-
tors will step ont and say that there shall
he no more road hauds from the school
rooms. My nelghbOr Booth saws if the
boys are not called in to do road work it
will run too many road hands into the
school-rOom. All right, let them 90 then.
They Will come out better than they went
in. Now what am driving at is to get the
matter discussed immediately, and then
some of those handsome men who repre-
sent us in the Georgia Legislature
will have law passed TO the effect that
any licensed teacher can give any pupil
who may have been taught as much as
fifty days in the school district where he
resides certificate. Then the said pu-
pill can get the County School COmmie-
sioner to sign the certificate certify
ing that the teacher is all right.
Then the said pupil can present it to the
road commissioner, who will exempt the
pupil from road duty for that year. Said
law to apply only TO boys under say u
years of age. Now we have some right
handsome road commissioners, and some
that have dark complexion, but they
seem to get along pretty well with those
with whom they are associated, as COM
missioners, and l guess they will work
well. l don't know whether Gully rules
the board or whether the board rules
Cuffy. Now let those who want to rob
the school room to get road ha nds rise up
and respond. PRATHER.

Bullock on the Cotton Goods De
preSslOn.
From the Rome Courier.

FROM ttc 1tpf"e CD0FteFs
Ex.Gov. Rufus r. Bullock, President of
the Atlanta Cotton Mills, is at present
visiting in Rome. Speaking of the
great depression in the manufacture of
cotton goods Gov. Bullock said:
'sThe great point now with the mills is
whether It would be cheaper to shut
down the mills or keep them running at "A
loss to the manufacturer. If the mills
are shut down it viii cost money to hire a
Waterman, TO pay insurance, the interest
ON the money invested and for
labor TO keep the machinery in good
condition, and other things. This loss is
about the same as the loss we experience
in keeping the machinery going, and in
the case Of a shut down the labor would
become badly scattered and demoralized.
Then there's more damage done machin-
cry lying idle than in full operation. All
that we can now do is TO shorten the
hours OF operation"
Nv nat Is the cause OF this great de-
pressionw
There are several reasons given, and it
is hard to arrive at the correct cause.
W neither or not 10 is the OverproductiOn Of
cotton goods csnnot say. But my own
opinion ia that it Is caused by great
change in the business Of the country.
The large wholesalers who supply the
jObbers Of the country do not
carry on their hands such large
quantities Of goods and are
continually reducing their stocks. The
cause Of thls is a fear Of a change Of the
tariff, and they do not wish 10 be caught
with too large q load on their hands. Sta
tlstics show that the population Of the
county has move than kept pace with the
increase Of cotton machinery" Glow
long do YOU think this depression Will
lastf" "Jhst as soon as other business
reyives aud a lack Of security Is no longer
heard Of, cotton manufacture will resume
its natural eourse."

The Two Ways.

There are two ways of revising the
tariff; one way is by Pennsylvania six
nch rule in the interest of Pennsyl-
vania protected industries; the other is
ny the rule of the Constitution Of the
United States, in the interest of all
lasses of people; and the conflict be-
ween these two ways is irreconcilable.
There can be no such thing as a non
partisan tariff as long as the Republican
party is the professed party of prC:ec-
| ton, which has its fortress in Pennsyl
vania, the buttress and bell tower If
protectionist ideas. "All parties now
now agree" says the Philadelphia Times
Yet only little while ago the protec-
5ion leaders were proclaiming that any
interference with the tariff would dis
turb the business interests of the coun
Try. The key to the change of position
8 to be found in the fact that the
rlbber barous realize that there is bound
TO be movement of some sort in the
next Congress and are organizing to
control this movement. No measure
# revision is to be considered the of
-pring of sound, practical, honest bust
iess principles" except such as is dicta
ted by them. Their first objective point
is the capture of the Administration.
Failing in this, they will make a loop
hole of escape and set up pretext for
revolt in the plea that the plan of the
majority is impracticable and extreme.
n word, it is to be repetition of the
| I'D game of obstruction. They want no
revision at all, but baked in their pur-
pose to stop revision they are deter
mined that it shall be stripped of any
and every vestige of reform. Well, we
shall see about that. We shall see
whether handful of subsidy beggars
will be able to capture the Administers
ton. We shall see whether clique OF
50 called Democrats will be able again
to unite with the Republicans in the
,oLtrol of the legislation of Demo
ratio House of Representatives. Nobody
dreaming of an extreme tariff bill
nobody is planning partisan tariff bill
Nobody proposes a revision of the tariff
On any other than sound, practical
honest business principles But who is
TO determine what are such? Here the
Inference comes in. The protectionists
will have no revision which does not
lave their objects and bounties un.
touched. The Democrats mean to have
both revision and reform. That is the
issue as it stands. Let the friends ,f
revenue reform be of good cheer. There
may be delays, but the result is in.
evitable. Those who led the reform
movement in the last Congress are still
true to the people. They are resolute
md sincere men, and, though they are
not so noisy as the robber barons and
their organs, they will not be found
,sleep upon their watch when the time
for action comes Couier-.JouT,,al.

THE New Orleans papers continue to
devote ample space to the" North, Central
and South American Exposition" ana
theindications are, that when the opening
day comes-Noyember 10-everything
will be ready. In many respects, the
Exposition promises to be more complete
than the first, and while the attractive
Government display has been removed
the space will be fully occupied by
other exhibits. Steam cars will run
from city to Exposition grounds, and
excursion rates to New Orleans will be
80 low and SO well advertised, that the
temptation for a trip to the Crescent
City will be almost Irresistible.
We had hoped that the Exposition
would not be revived, and that the
country might have rest from shows
for few years to come; but there were
so many obstacles in the way of the
success of the Exposition last winter
we cannot but admire the pluck ant
faith that seem to animate the new
management. Mississippi took mos

Rights of an OfIicsholder.

When it was announced at the outset
OF President CLEvELAED's Administra-
ton that there would be no removals of
Federal orficeholders except for cause,
and that Offensive partisanship" would
be considered good cause for removal,
there was much speculation concerning
this underlined offence against the
proprieties Of official life. Plainly the
Intention OF the Administration was to
announce that no ofieeholder would be
removed because of his political
opinions, but the declaration that
Offensive partisans" would be removed
mads it equally plain that there was a
line beyond which officeholders in the
exercise of their duties and privileges
as-citizens would not be permitted to go.
The Democrats, as rule, have found
no difficulty in determining the degree
of partisanship necessary in Republi-
can oficeholder to incur the penalty of
removal, but they have been seriously
troubled to lay down rule which would
work both WAYS satisfactorily. If
certain spAci6t d acts constitute offensive
partisanship in a Republican, why
should they not amount to the same
offense when committed by Democrat
And if Republican must be removed
because of his active participation in
political management, doesn't the logic
Of the situation require that the place
should be filled by Democrat impliedly
pledged to pursue different course?
We entirely agree that public Office
may be Extensively used by its incum
bent in the interest of political party
as, for instance, where the chief of 9
department having under his control
numerous subordinates shall endeavol
70 influence their political action, by
means of the power which his position
| gives him. Such would be plain case
If offensive partisanship. But there
can be but few such cases, because, oil
he thousands of officeholders, but few
occupy supervisory positions, and mos
of these have it in their power to accom-
plish their ends without discovery
Manifestly the offensive partisan referred
TO by President CLEVELAND has beer
produced to larger extent than would
ne covered by instances such as these
rhe numerous suspensions from ofhc'
which have been made within the pas
.everal months leave no room for doubt

ing at Jackson on the 18th. Enough OF
their proceedings leaked out to justify tn.
report that the entire saloon interest of tn.
State has agreed to fight Prohibition with
the utmost vigor, especially on member,
of the Legislature. 1t was arranged t.
bring all possible influence to bear upon
the Democratic State Convention. which
met on the 10Th. to prevent declaration
in favor OF local option, as asked by tn.
Prohibitionists, and this seems to have
succeeded. as the platform ia silent on tn.
subject. 1t was understood, also, that they
demanded the nomination of cert:in can
didates on the State ticket, but how far
they succeeded in this direction is not
manifest at this writing, as the Convention
had failed to make up ticket last Satur-
day, after four days contest.-1he Voice
The Voice should better inform itself
as to the attitude of the Mississippi
Prohibitionists. They did not ask from
the Democratic State Convention q
declaration in favor of local option, OF
for any expression whatever on the sub
ject of the liquor traffic. The Conven.
tion had quite enough business on hand
without taking up question on which
there is such very decided difference oil
opinion. And hence the memorial oil
the Liquor Dealers Association was laid
on the table. We were not aware, and
do not believe it to be fact, that the
liquor dealers demanded the nomina
tion of certain candidates on the Ssate
ticket" If so. they were very quiet il
their demands, and they, like the prohi
