Five AOnths Term.

Commissioner Brsdweu Counts on a
Five Months Term.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 6.-With press and
people all over the state the impression
seems to have obtained lodgment that the
legislature passed the jackson educatio al
bill, and that six months schools may be
looked for. Commissioner Bradwell said
to-day; THE actual increase in the COM
mon school funl arising from rece legis-
latlon amounts to $4,000 only. Had the
Jackson bill, VIII b got stuck in the Senate,
become law, the provision would thea
have been sufficient for the support Of SIX
months schools. As it is, the schools will De
kept open five months. The money availa-
bic will do no more. l have just been max
ing calculation and find that it will just
about cover expenses for running them for
that length of time.
BASIS OF HIS CALCULATION.
"rhe basis Of my calculation is cents a
day, 81 a month or IS a year for each
scholar. The school year extends from
July 1, 1890, to July 1, 1891. In tabling the
various lite as Of the fund, with the Iurces
from which tn y are derived. therefore
treat separately the rental of the state road
for the past six months and the six months
yet I'd come, the revenue from this sOui ce
being, in the latter instance, SO much
greater. Inc tund, according TO my figures,
Is made up as follows: General apprJpria-
ton, $500. 600; half the state road rental,
July l, 1891, to Jan. l, 1891, SIS. COO; half
tie state road rental 20 July 1,
next. Sl05,OOO; dividend from the
Georgia railroad stock, S2,046;
liquor tax teStimAted), So. 900 net; fertilizer
inspection fees (eestimaten, Si7,OUJ; hire of
the state convicts (estimated), Sl7 1000; tax
on shows, 1882; t K on prooerty, excess
over the $3.50, 100000 available in 1891,
slS9, 1872; tatal appropriated 1929, o0O De-
duct the expenses of the state school de-
partment, s., 700, AID the ret amount from
the appropriation is 1922, 900. To this add
$500, 900, the estimated aggregate poll-tax
retained in the various countie, and the
total for common schools is found to be as
above" Mr.. Bradwel's calculation shows
the cost of the schools during the time they
are in operation to be 1924. 500 per month.
The jackson bill would have added to the
present fund in the neighborhood of $780,
200. easily covering the expense of an
extra months work.

Miss Abbott was listening to a minister

Miss Abbott listened til he was nearly

ceeded to debate the question with the
reverend gentleman. She has always re-
taiaed her love for church cholrs, however,
and it has been favorite pastime OF hers,

the choir loft of some local church, and to
take the sopranos place during the service.

WASHINGTON, Jan, Cool. Buck ar
rived last night, and will be here the rest
of the week. He says he is here to hasten
the consideration of accounts in the first
controllers office. He was at the capitol
to day on errands, he said, for friends. none
of them being political. 1t is understood
that he brought a sort Of qualified consent
from Judge Newman for the Athens court
bill. His idea seems to be that if the court
offices can all be kept in Atlanta there is
no objection to holding court in
Athens. This does no. seem conclusive
to the members of the Senate judiciary COM
mittee, who have charge of Mr.. Cartoons
bill, and may not prove enough to get toe
bill through. Col. Buck does not know why

Americas, as he expected, and still expects.
Asked about his letter recommending the

response fro ii the Secretary of War, but
hoped it would help Lieut.. Carl ngton get
what he SO we'll deserved.

correction of the same.

The State School Books.

EDS RECoRD-UNIoN: Allow one who
has been a teacher in this State for twenty
years to express his appreciation of your
course in regard to school legislation
We teachers generally fear too much leg
islation rather than too little.
As Secretary for the Institute of 426
teachers, just adjourned in Los Angeles,
1 have some knowledge of the prevailing
opinion among teachers on school matters.
We are generally satisfied with the State
series, and wish il completed, and fair
trial of several years use before any
change of plan is made. / believe the
series so far published better than any
other. A good teacher can use them sue
cesstully, poor one fails with any book.
Good teachers do not rely on books, but
make the textbook means to an end
only.
We have free books now for those too
poor to buy. When I find child that
cannot get books, the trustees freely fur
nish them according to the present law.
In all my life as teacher cannot recall
six cases where books have been furnish
ed free. 1t is much better that people
buy and own their books like anything
else. We do not need, the people do not
ask, for free books.
We do not want any supplementary books
furnished by law. We now have plenty
OF reading matter outside of the State
readers. The library furnishes papers,
| magazines, science books. We want
nothing more. Book firms think we do.
The great want of the schools to-day is
experienced, well qualified teachers. Any
legislation in that direction would be
wise. We cannot expect many men to
devote their lives to profession that paws
an annual salary of seven hundred dol
lars year. S. Z. DE PENCIER,

GUILTY OF BATTERY.
The Decision of the Jury in the Fol
Case.

Inc Decision OF the Jury in the FoutZ
Case.
L. G. Foutz was tried by Jury yester-
day in the Police Court and found
guilty of the charge of battery
in beating his wife. The Jurors
were James Hanford, Thomas Phillips,
John Breuner. George Morrison, John
Scroggs, P. Clark, G. e. Schument, War
rem Cole, Samuel Gale, Perry Curtis,
Thomas O'Brien and Samuel Gerson.
Mrs. Foutz said that for the past six
months she and her husband had been
working in dance hall at LIS Second
street, he as musician and she as wait
| reSS. They had been married about two
years. On Monday night, March 9th, she
went TO her room and fell asleep. Foutz
came in shortly afterward, and, awaken
ing her, asked her why she retired so
early, and who gave her the whisky ON
which she got drunk. She denied being
drunk and told him that he himself had
sent her to bed. Upon refusing to tell
where she obtained her liquor, he seized
a razor-strap and belabored her with
blows. He tore an undergarment she
wore into shreds and struck her on the
shoulders and limbs with the strap.
The defense attempted to cross-examine
the witness to show that she swore to the
complaint for the purpose of causing
Foutz to be sent to prison, so that she
could live with onother man. Judge
Cravens would not allow the questions,
however.
officer Shook swore that when he ar
rested Foutz, the latter said he could see
no reason why such charge had been
made against him, unless it was because
he had hit his wife a few times with a
strap. The statement was made yolun-
tarily.
Nettie Wilson and Lille Thornton tes
titled that they saw the black and blue
marks on Mrs. Foutz' body day or two
after she claimed to have been beaten,
They noticed several marks on her hips
and shoulders. A Mrs. Mckenzie gave
similar testimony.
The defendant took the stand and de-
MED having struck his wife within the
past five weeks. He said that about
month and a half ago he did beat her, and
he considered that he had good cause.
When she did wrongful acts he had a
right to correct her.
The jury retired, and in about five min
utes sent word that they desired certain
instructions from the Court. They were
called into court again and Mr. Breuner
asked whether or not they could convict
him of the offense he confessed to have
committed about six weeks ago.
Judge Cravens informed the jury that
they certainly could, notwithstanding
the protest of attorney Estabrook.
The jury again repaired to the outer
room, and in few moments returned
with verdict of guilty.
Foutz will be sentenced to-day,

An American journal fOr
ArleriGanS.

TvHE ARGoNAUT HAS NOW BEEN PUB
i nshed for thirteen years, a fact which DEM
onStrates that an American paper can live in
America, something hitherto doubted by
newspaper men.
The ARGoNAUT is strongly American. It be-
lfeves that this country can run its own affairs
without any assistance from the benevolent
foreigners who have come over to direct mat
tiers for us. It thinks we have too many for
eigners here now, and that the rest had better
stay away.
The ARGoNAUT is the uncompromtsing foe
of fdemagogues-those men in high places who
truckle to the ignorant foreign vote are un-
sparingly lashed by its whip.
The ARGoNAUT believes that enough has
vote and the German vote. 1t is time now
that something should be done to catch the
American vote.
The ARGoNAUT believes in and advocates
these ideas, not with bumptiousness or Chau-
vinism, but with extreme tenacity.
Outside of its editorial columns the ARGo-
NAUT has many features of interest.
1t publishes bright weekly letters from New
York, Paris and London, from skilled corre-
spondenfs, who are in touch with the intense
life of those great cities
1t publishes frequent letters from other
points in the old world, and from the older
world of Asia come occasional letters from
India, China and Japan.
The ARGONAUT does not publish serial
stories. Each number 10 complete in itself
Its short stories are famous throughout the
country 1t is hard to describe their peculiar
tiuSc, Jul all iuttt HAY be gathered rom 1DtS,
our standing injunction to our contributors
"Whatever you are, never be commonplace /"
The result is that the ARGoNAUT short stories
have an individuality of their own.
The ARGoNAUT endeayors to present q
weekly review of the literary movement. Briet
notes on books, rather than lengthy reviews
together with notes upon authors and journal
lists, will keep the reader well up with the
literary gossip of the day.
The ARGoNAUT'S other departments include
''The Drama" which endeavors to cover all
matters of interest relating TO the stage; ''The
Inner Man, !" devoted to matters gastronomic;
tStoryettes,n - a collection of bright and season.
