Letter from North Georgia.

HICKORY FLAT, Ga, Aug. 16-MR. EDI-
TOR: IL have been thinking of writing to
the TINES for some time, but have been
too busy, aud embrace the first opportunity
to write short letter to your paper for the
benefit of its many readers. l left South
Carolina last November for the hsalthful
and prosperous country Of North Georgia,
whore am now engaged in teaching.
have been studying the school system
of Georgia, and find it in the hands of edu-
Gated and entsrprising men. The system
offers the children Of the State an education
if they will make o little effort to secure it,
The State pays out Of the public fund. to
each child of school age, from to5 cts per
day for one hundred days any time he or
she may choose to attend school.
Georgia offers much greater advantages
for the education of the masses than South
Carolina. l cannot see why that is. Why
cannot South Carolina do more for the grea,
cause Of educstion2 1t seems to me the
best way to ruin the happiness and pros
perity of any country is to fail TO educate
its people.
am miles from Canton, on the NJ. &
N. Ga, X. r., teaching. l find the people
much interested ip EDUCATION, and the work
is progressing nicely. My school averages
about 70 out Of roll of 92
The teachers of the State hold monthly
institutes while the public term lasts, and
weekly Institute during the summer, which
is Of great benefit to the teachers.
While am "one Of the South Carolina
boys and wish her oil the success posi-
BILE, do not hesitate to say that she is not
doing for the rising generation what her
neighbor States are dong.
North Georgia is rough and hilly, clear
deep streams Of water, high and dry, but
productive soil
The farmers raise but little cotton, but
abundance Of corn, fruits, vegetables, grapes
and potatoes. for which they find ready
sale at the government distilleriss.
The people are industrious aud enterpris-
ing and seem to be the happiest have ever
met.
If any Of my friends wish to know where

[ADvERTIsEMEST.
To the Voters Of Union County

Mr.. EDIToR: Dear Sir: Allow me space
in your columns to state 10 the voters of the
County that there has been report in por-
tions ofths County that / had Withdrawn
from the race for County TREASURER. This
report was circulated from q statement made
by myself that if my health did not improve
it would be impossible for me to make the
County canvass. Also, from a report that
the Governor had said if I were elected he
would not appoint me. With these obstacles
in my way did at one time think of with
drawing, and so stated in q speech at Wilk.
insville. But am thankful to state that
there is considerable improvement in my
health, and am In possession Of written
informal on from Governor Tillmsn that, if
he is elected he will appoint the man
who gets majority Of the votes of the
County at the primary election; besides. l
have bean urged by quite number of the
good people Of the County not to withdraw
but to go on to the end, which intend to
do, God being my helper; and those OF my
friend, ylq desire to vote for NE will find
my name upon the TICKET.
Yours with respect,
j. B. I. SooTT.

esA- "Fsar God and keep His comm
mandments," is q divine command and is
also the cardinal doctrine of the christian
religion, of every denomination. 1t was
impressed upon our hearts in our earliest
childhood, aud time cannot eface it or
weaken our faith in the terrible rebuke that
may follow n defiance of that command
When Gov. Tllman said 81 neither fear
God or regard man." he uttered defiance to
the jusicei and power of God, and we have
serious right to .apprehend that God will
rebuke him, orthe people who tacitly endorse
his defanceby e'eciins him to rule over
them. We are not q religisus fanatic

We thought there could be no truth in the

By right, Maj. Townsend should have sue

not sufficiently acquainted with wire pull

justice Of his claims. Since then he has
been one OF the most assiduous workers and
able officers of the administration, and has
fully earned the promotion. His name will
certainly be found on the ticket

Male and Female Semiuary have concluded
that hereafter they will take o Summer out

ded to return to the Winter sessions Of the

they have found that neither Teachers nor

when everybody else, in the mountains as

Well, the Gaffnsy Seminary is a splendid

presence of tho Rev. f. Aud, G. w. MoGes
and the proprietor Of the hotel there. between
Prof. John @. Cllnkso,les and myself, I
asked Professor CIinksoales why w. d. May
field was not canvassing the State with the
other candidates, and he replied that he
did not like Governor Tillwau, and gave the
following as his reasons; That Governor
Tillmsn went into Mr.. Mayfeld's office ana
asked him to allow him (Tilman) to name
all tho appontees that he (Mayfeld) had tho
right to appoint al over tho State; that Mr..
Mayfsld told him it was asking too much;
that tho people had elected him to discharge
the duties OF superintendent Of EDUCATION
and he expected to do it.
That Tillman replied he was "nothiug but
a id coat-tail swinger' any way, and
ought never to have been put on tho ticket.
Professor Clinkscales was assisting Mr.. May,
field IN his Office at the time. Professor
Clinkscales stated tho same thing to other
parties in Williamson, aud IL called upon will
substantiate the matter.
Here Is the governor of the State wanting,
in addition to other powers, the right to ap-
point partisan men to control the education
of the children Of the State, in order to
keep himself in office Why not make him
dictator and do away with the courts, tho
legislature aud all State and county Offices

Truly shall we be glad when the election

demoralizing topics, the people have had

drawn, taut and distinct between country and

these unhappy divisions have been created
by appeals of politicians to the prejudices of
the people.
