SHORT STOPS
What the People are Saying.


The people are under many obi
cations to Judge Callaghan for ex-
planning what became of the sink
ing fund and the permanent school
fund. Now let us see if we are
still TO be indebted to him for
further explanations.
He says in his letter that he
wishes to tell Mayor Paschal tn at
there is no such a fund as gar
bage fund. But there was an "etc"
fund that disappeared in the new
city hall. How simple, it all APP
pears now that our eX-mayor can
look backwards and tell how it all
happened!
When the people voted $4,000
for the garbage finances, they did
not see "etc.," looking behind the
ballot box, nor did they hear of
"etc" during all these years they
have waited for the garbage furna-
ces. The aldermen who went on
trips to look at garbage furnaces,
did it for "etc." The lot purchased
has for an "etc.'
But "etc.' got in its work, and by
quick duck of the head disap-
peared from sight, in the city nall
job.
Judge Callaghan had better
make an open confession, and de-
vote his talents to the county af-
fairs hereafter. Mr.. Paschal and
the new council, have a serious
task before them. They must make
good the Micawber notes in the
sinking fund; they must secure
the permanent school fund, and
raise "etc." sufficiently to build the
garbage furnaces.
Judge Callaghan's letter was
intended as an answer to Mayor
Paschals plan to expose Of the
financial condition Of the city, but
really, when taken to pieces and
held up to the light, is very thin.

OUR ONLY EXHIBIT.

What a Georgia Preacher Saw and Heard
at Chicago.
Rev. Clifford Sanders, of Danville, has
just returned from Chicago He had
mnch to say to a newspaper reporter
about the lack of interest manifested by
the whites in regard to matters educa-
tional, while the negroes seized every
opportunity to have their children
taught. In Chicago the state of Georgia
has no exhibit, but the Atlanta Universe
ty for negroes has one Examination pa
pers are on exhibition and pupils are the
undergoing examination before the pub
lie, showing what the college is do ng.
But Yankee hate had to manifest ITSELF
Hung up is a placardson which, in bold
letters, is written: 'This college is sus-
tanned only by aid from the north.''
Negroes at this college are well taught
and the proficiency of pupils was well
advertised. The performance caught the
negrophalists of the north. Mr.. Sanders
heard one enthusiastic south hater, as he
witnessed the negro pupils perform, say;
eve will educate the negro, We will
lift HIM by education. Then in time he
will mary the poverty-stricken white
women of the south. We win engraft
the sturdy sinews of the hardy race on
to the weak race of whites, and in him
develop strong manhood in the south"
Mr.. Sanders had to leave to restrain him
self from insulting this philanthropic
Yankee who was so ready to degrade
southern society,

FREE SCHOOL B OKS.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS UN-
DER CONSIDERATION
The Proposition TO Furnish the School
Children With Free BoOxs--Commit-
tee Appointed

The Proposition to Furnish the School
Children With Free BOoks--Commit-
tee Appointed.
There is a probability that the chill
dren who attend the city schools will be
furnished with free books before great
while.
The board of education has the idea
under consideration, and Commissioners
Dean, Christie and Baldwin have seen
appointed committee to investigate the
advisability Of inaIgurating the system
with instructions to report at the next
meeting of the board.
II is thought that it would cost 81 900
to inaugurate the system, but after that
it would be butvery little expense, as the
same books could be used by different
children as they advanced into other
grades. For instance, children VIII adj
vance from the first to the second grade
would return their books to the superin-
tendeut to be used by children entering
the first grade, and those entering the
second grade would use the books of
those advanced to the third grade and
so en-.
When the superintendent issues a book
to a pupil it will be charged and credit
given when returned Should The book
be lost or abused the pupil using it
would have to pay for it.
Those now having school books for
which they will have no further use
should not dispose of them, for if the
free book system should be inaugurated
they could be exchanged for others.

OF course it is proper to inquire about
what any man says, Is it true?
The most rigid investigation is invited
into the testimonials published in behalf
of Hoods Sarsaparilla. Special attention
is called to the high character Of the per-
sons whose testim anials are published by
the proprietors ofithis medicine, as evil
denced by their occupations OF indorse-

Held On Two Other Charges, and Is
Waiting for Money-sailing Under
an Assumed Name.
W. A. Fields, the telegraph operator
who endeavored to get 500 from the
National bank on forged telegram, an
account of which, with his other ex-
PLOTS, was published in THE NEWS, had
a preliminary hearing before Justice
Peddy few days ago.
Cashier Clark was in court with the
kilograms and testified that Fields had
admitted to him that the telegram was
forgery.
Mr.. Lon Fulton testified for the prose
cution and said that while he was in the
telegraph Office he saw Fields tear up a
telegram supposed to be the one Cash
ier Clark intended to besent to the Flor
ida bank and write another purport-
ing to be from the Florida bank author
izing the payment Of the money, and
heard him instruct the messenger boy TO
deliver it to the National bank. Mr.. Full
ton also testified that no such message
came over the wires while he was there.
No evid,n nee was introduced for the
defense, and the defendant refused to
make statement. Attorney Dick Mar
lin made an argument for the prisoner.
Judge Peddy did not think that clear
case of forgery had been made out and
dismissed the warrant.
Fields is yet in jail, however, on two
warrants charging nim with larceny af-
ter trust and cheating and swindling.
He Is expecting money from his father,
who is telegraph operator at Hazel
hurst, Miss, with which to settle these
two charges. The prisoner is going un
der an assumed name, his real name be-
ing Nettles.

the democracy of today-to tie father,
the democracy of Jefferson. He at
tackled the democratic party for what it
had done and what he said it hadn't
done. He also attacked Cleveland and
Carlilse among the party leaders, and he
incidentally referred to Governor North
en- ordering troops out at Washington.
His address was enthusiastically receiv-
ed by third partyites, and was not spe

he having treated his subjects in a much
milder and more conservative way than
good many. people thought he would
do, judging from reports from other
points.
Everything passed off quietly and
there was not single disturbance of any

PENNOYERs PROCLAMATION.
Wants Providence to Dispose the
President and Congress.

SALEM, Ore, Nov. 1.-Governor Pen
meyer today issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation:
II do hereby appoint the fourth Thurs
day of the present month as a day of
thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bless
ings he has bestowed upon this common
wealth during the present year. God has
indeed been most beneficient to our state
and nation. And yet unjust and ilI-ad-
vised congressional legislation having made
gold alone a full legal tender money has
so dwarfed and paralyzed business that
the bounties of Providence are now denied
TO hundreds of thousands of people within
the national domain. who not only are
without employment but also without the
means Of procuring food. raiment or shell
ter. While, therefore, the people of Ore
gon return thanks to God for His goodness.
/ do most earnestly recommend that they
devoutly implore Him to dispose the presl-
dent and congress of the United States To
secure restoratio of silver as full legal
tender money in accordance with the pol
icy of the fathers of the republic, whereby
our industries may be revived and honest
toilers of the land may procure their daily
bread, not as aims, but as the reward of
their labor.
