REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COM
MISSION.

We wish TO call attention to the re-
port of the commission which accom-
panies the bill that ii brings before
the Legislature. Ii contains the reasons
for the drafting of the bill. The COM
mission speaks Of the interest taken in
its work and of the readiness Of the
friends of education to render aid and
give information. 1t has acted upon
the assumption that some school legis-
lation was needed. While it was dis
covered that in the large districts and
in village schools, and wherever there
were graded schools good work was be-
ing done. in the smaller districts the
condition of things was very unsatisfac-
tory. There We're poor schools, school
buildings and teachers. The fact did
not escape notice that changes in pop
ulation, the increasing smallness of
families are responsible for much of
this, vet there was a conviction that
the present state of things ought not to
exist. and certainly ought not to con
tinue. Insufficient support is given TO
schools in many districts. The fact is
il costs more TO run schools than for
merly and districts with reduced pop
ulation find the burden heavy. They
support as good school as they feel
able to pay for. While legislation can
not equalize the wealth of towns and
districts, and while a are remedy can
not be found through uniform tax up
on the lists of the several towns, some
thing can be done by equalizing it in
the districts of town. This is done
in effect under the town system, but by
fixing the minimum tax that shall be
raised it can be partially remedied un-
der the district system. We suppose
that it was upon this ground that the

The bounty on foxes and the method
of securing it offers choice bit of sat
ire upon some of our Legislative meth
ods. The bounty is fifty cents. To
secure it man must kill fox within
the limits of the state. The head must
be taken to the town clerk and the man
must make affidavit that he killed it
within the state, then the town clerk
must cut off the ears and make out
certificate to that effect, this certificate
must be sent to the Office of the State
Auditor and there becomes voucher
for the issuing of an order upon the
state treasurer for fifty cents. This or
der is sent to the claimant who sends
il TO the state treasurer, and from him
receives check for the amount which
he can get cashed at the nearest bank.
If man lives in remote part of a
town or long distance from post
office or bank, the time required to run
down a fox is nothing to the time it
takes to run down bounty. There
are about 1000 claims for bounty annu-
ally, so the auditor reports, and as
most of these come singly it multiplies
work at the auditors office. The sug-
gestion of the Auditor that these boun-
ties be paid by the towns andthe towns
be reimbursed by the state, is good
one, and will save the time of .he au-
ditor for more important business.

Gov. Dillingham's recommendation
that Imprisonment be substituted for
fines in the ease of conviction for the
first offence for selling liquor, may or
may not have good effect in restrain
ing the traffic. What is needed more
than anything else is a strict and quick
enforcement of the law we now have.
There should be some officer sufficient

ed under a salary. and blessed with a

The Mormon church has received a
damaging blow in recent decision of
the Supreme Court of Utah. Under
the Edmunds bill an action was broug't
to dissolve the church corporation and
to declare its property escheated to the
government. The case was carried to
the Supreme Court Of the Territory
aud the decision has been handed down.
As might have been expected the case
has been carried to the Supreme Court
Of the United States. But heavy
blow has been struck at the system
What effect it viii have in Fastening
the dissolution OF Mormonism remains
to be seen. The object of the govern
mcnt is to break it up as a political
force, and this it will probably succeed
in doing. As religious sect it will
exist for long time to come.
There viii always be plenty of fools to
take up with Mormonism or any kin

Rebel sentiment has revived under
Cleveland's administration. There is
more of the old Confederacy in feeling
and utterance than there was four years
ago. The simple fact Of the accession
of the democracy to power was an en-
couragemeut of this feeling. Almost
every move of the administration has
tended to revive the old sentiment
This is not strange. SO far as the
South is concerned, rebellion is one of
the corner stones of the democracy. 1t
did not use to be so. but times have
changed. This feeling cropped out re-
Gently on the occasion of the dedication
of a monument to Col. Pickett at Rich
mond. 1t came to the surface too in
an offensive way. The veterans of the
Union army from Philadelphia were in
vited down to hear rebel speeches and
witness the flourish of rebel flags. 1t is
incidents like these that should lead ev-
ery man to think twice at least before
casting his vote for Cleveland.

up the routine of perverted lives and
compel us to a more upright course of

"Uucle Toms Cabin" until her recent
sickness called out some expressions OF
sentiment from the press. Some OF the
papers cannot find mean and mendae-

But she can afford to put up with these

thing our Southern friends can do is to

The bill introduced by Mr.. Mann Of

commission of three or five men to col
lect statistical information concerning
Vermont products, prices If farms
and Of farm labor. and undeycloped
manufacturing and agricultural re-
sources, and places two thousand dol
lars at their disposal to be used in
bringing the agricultural and manufac-
turing advantages OF our State to the
knowledge Of the people of other
States and countries. Without dis
cussing the details Of this bill, which
need to be carefully considered, we
welcome it as an effort to inaugurate
organized and efficient action to restore
the waste places and develope the hid
den and sleeping resources of our
State.

offered elsewhere, would, we doubt
not, keep many men at home to pros
per here who are now going far away
to build their fortunes.
II the tide of western emigration
cannot thus be checked, it may be, and
in all probability is possible to call
hither immigrants of desirable class,

BRAZLLIAN FLOUR CORY.
From the Gwinuett Herald.


| Mr.. D. L. Born dropped in the
Herald Office last week. We asked
him what he knew of the -four corr
that was creating some excitemen
in the county.
"Well," he said, Il know some
thing OF it. l travel frequently
through middle Georgia, and have
seen it in all stages of its growth anC
eat the flour made from it. | regard
| it as blessing to this State.
Il know a man in Morgan county
who made last year 1876 bushels on
four acres, besides twenty-five loads
Of forage"
"That was certainly big cropping, =
we suggested.
'Yes, but his neighbors verified
his statement 1t was on fine land
and well prepared.
"How do they plant and cultivate
| it,"
"rhe land is prepared by being
broke well and then checked off three
to four feet, depending on the quail
ty of the soil.
ii is MANFRED in the hill and thin
ned down to one stalk. This stalk
succors out and produces from four
to six stalks, and each stalk will have
two to three ears of corn. | do not
doubt the statements as to the yield
made by the man | have quoted.
Last year | planted less than quar-
ter OF an acre, on this land near Nor

j. 7. McElraney, says l have
seen the corn, the -four, and ate the
bread, and that, you know, is Cos

been buying the -four from them,
for | can't tell It from ordinary wheat
flour, and | don't believe any other
man can.
G. r. Stephens planted small
patch last year and had some of it
ground at our mills. 1t grinds in
wheat mills, and goes on through
the bolt; the advantage is it has no
smut, and we will need no shutters
when it drives wheat out of this
country, as think it will eventually
do.
This corn will yield as much as
ordinary corn on ordinary land, and
twice as much as fodder. The ears
are small, but larger than common
popcorn, and it has three or tour ears
to each grain planted.
From the McDuliie Journal
MIR. Robert Hayes, OF this vicinity.
planted small patch of Brazilian
flour corn last spring, and makes a
very favorable report of his expert
ment. He gathered fourteen good
ears from a single hill. The ears are
from six to ten inches long, and lit
tie smaller than the common yellow
corn. The grains are fiat, rather
short, and milk white.
Mr.. Hayes had portion of this
corn made into -four, and has shown
US samples of the biscuits and bread
made from 1t. The biscuits, though
no.as white as those made from the
finest grades of -four, are equally as
white and cannot be distinguished
from those made from medium grade
ilours. And a remarkable fact is
that, while the flour of the corn
makes excellent biscuits, the bran
makes as good corn bread as the best
Indian corn, and the seconds or
shorts make good batter cakes.
