Robert H.. lees Birthday.
n. o Times-D Democrat.

NO, Times-D Democrat.
The lower house of the Georgia Legislature
has passed. without a dissenting voice, IL bill
making Jan. l9-Lee's birthday-a public hoI-
iday Ill Georgia. There is not the slightest
doubt as to similar action by the Senate.
The proposition is made that the other Sou
thern States shall follow the example of Geor-
gia. aud establish Jan 10 as a holiday upon
which the people of this section can recall the
great struggle they went through.
When a birthday is thus hou0red, it is done
to show respect to the man who then first saw
the light, and to encourage the people to re-
member and honor him. And, in this idea.
no better selection could be made of a Sou
them hero than Gen. Robert Z. Lee.
n wor'hler example," says the Macon
Telegraph, can be held before the youth oi
the country, no more sym1uetrical character,
no higher type of the Christian gentleman has
been evolved in the history of our race"
Even the bltttres6 sectional papers have
had nothing to say against Robert +. Lee
and the Commercial Gazette. in its most vim
dictlrt htln0r, stopped to praise him as IA he
70 and gentlemen. His martial prowess. his
tnrhearance Ill victory, his tortitude under
defeat, his PATRIOTISM, his answering levo-
ton to dutY-mark him as a man worthy OF
the highest Donors and the Southern youth
can have no higher type of man set before
them for imitation.
We have received Of late from EHgland-
from the greatest soldier that country has
produced for many years-a tribute to Lee,
declaring him Que of the half dozen great
commanders of the world. Lord Wolseley
has borne testimony to Lees military ability.
which alone makes him worthy ofeyery honor
that Car. be bestowed ON him. When we con-
slider the hundred qualities that enIeared
him to The South, the tribute which the
Georgia House has just paid him IN placing
his name side by side with that of George

had failed TO induce Il balky horse, which had
INSTRUCTED street car and other traffic, to
move on,"a farmer-looking person stepped
up and stuck his finger down in one of the an-
lmals ears. The effect was instantaneous,
and the trouble was over. Street car drivers
should jot this down in their memorandum

ear is said to never fail to get it out of its

According to a map of the South
lately issued by managers IF railroads
located chiefly in Tennessee, the princi-
pal battlefields are dotted down. making
a total of a92 during the recent war,
These main battles are scattered over
every Southern State, besides Pennsyl-
vania, the District of Columbia, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, New Mexico,
and the Indian Territory. Louisiana is
credited with li8 of these battles. They
do not comprise the skirmishes. These
rather curious statistics demonstrate
how the fearful and stubborn conflict

Act g..

At the last meeting Of onr parish
school board d motion was adopted en-
forcing section 10 of Act No. 81 of 1888
Teachers are therefore authorized to
collect 81 tax from each family as pro-
vided in the act, and if the AMOUNT is
not paid the teachers are authorized to
decline to teach the children of parents
who refuse snch payment. The amount
thus collected is to be used by teachers
liz the various schools for the comfort
and convenience of the scholars. We
believe this action Snf the board will
soon close the schools, especially the
colored schools. Parents of cnlnred
rhildren-eight out of ten of them
will never pay the tax. They Seem 10

A special from Moberly, Mo-. to the Journal
says: Four tranps arrested here for vagran-
cy were put up at public auction from the
courthouse steps. The sale had been dniy
advertised according to law and there was a
large crowd present. The bidding was not
spirited. Two of the tramps were sold to a
farmer for 81 a head and another was bid in
for Use. The fourth tramp could find no pur-
chaser and he was returned to Jail. The
three who were sold must serve their pur-
chasers for four months.
