An Important ONCE.

One of the most important OF the state
offices is that of school commissioner. In
all parts of the state there is a growing
sentiment in favor of improving the public
schools The public schools in most OF the
towns are very good, and in the larger
towns they are excellent. In the country
districts, however, they are far from being
as good as they ought to be. The farmers
are beginning to see the necessity for
greater educational advantages for their
children. They are, therefore, demanding
better school houses, better teachers, and
that the schools shall be kept open longer
each year.
The state school commissioner can do
great deal toward raising the grade
Of the public schools. He should be
man familiar with educational matters
and firm believer in the public school sys-
tenn. He should be man of high charac-
ter and much more than ordinary ability;
and especially should he be profoundly i'm
pressed with the Importance of his duties,
and enthusiastic in the discharge of them.
1t is doubtful if there could be found in
the state man so we'll qualified in every
respect for state school com missioner as Mr..
s. D. Bradwell of Liberty county. He
has had twenty-five years experience as an
educator, and is, besides, man Of broad
views aud liberal culture. He knows Just
what the public school system of the state
needs to make it more efficient. He
is in thorough sympathy with the
farmers, and he knows all of
the states prominent men. If
he appeared before the legislatu e,therefore,
requesting assistance for the public schools,
he would receive a very respectful hearing,
and the chances are his request would be
granted There would be such confidence
in his ability and judgment that there
would be little hesitation in following his
lead in matters relating TO the public
schools.
There is another thing in this connection
that ought to be taken into consideration.
1t is that South Georgia gets very little
recognition in the distribution of the
patronage of the state. Mr.. Bradwell is
one Of South Georgia's prominent citizens.
He lives in a county in which some of
Georgia's most distinguished sons were born
and reared. He would reflect credit upon
the state as commissioner of education, aud
would render the people service in that
capacity for which they would be pro-
foundly grateful Mr.. Northen will have
the appointment of state school commits
sioner, and if he is mindful of the best in
terests of the people he will not overlook
Mr.. Bradwou when he considers the appli-
cations for that appointment

Yankee Genius.

A Massachusetts, genius has hit upon q
new and decidedly pr ftable industry. TIE
authorities pay 10 cents apiece for the heads
Of crows. from the destructive propensities
Of which birds the farmers crops have been
suffering seriously for years. The enter
prising genius above referred to has de-
vised scheme by which he has made many
an honest dime He has set up chicken
incubator of the most improved pattern. In
which is placed as fast as laid the product
Of about 100 hen crows that have
been trapped aud conf ed, in company with
perhaps dozen cock crows. Within fifteen
days the little creatures are hatche1, and
fortnight later they are ready to be decapi-
tated, for be it understood that the head
OF crow chick is worth just as much as
that of an adult of the species. At the
uniform rate Of ten for dollar dead they
pay the producer
Raising crows has become quite an in
dustry in Massachusetts and Maine, where
the thrifty yankees pay their taxes with
the proceeds, and are enabled to lay by an
honest penny besides. Under ordinary
circumstances the bounty would not leave
very large margin of profit for the
recipient. 1t costs something. you see. to
kill crow. There is the ammunition in the
first place, which is expensive, and man
cannot always count upon Staying even a

Matching crows is much easier and pays
better. Yankee genius is bound to assert
itself.
