A day or two ago. State School Com
missioner Glenn gave to our Athens cor
respondent the outlines or a plan ne has
in view for improving the public schools
Of the state. The commissioner has
Travelled over the state pretty thorough
~ and is profoundly Impressed with the
necessity for providing better schools. He
finds that the farmers are so dissatisfied
with the opportunities their children have
at present for getting even the poorest
kind Of an oductation mat they are leav-
ing their farms as fast as they can find
employment IN the cities. The young men
also. the sons Of farmers, viii not stay
on the farms if they can avoid doing so.
because there is so little in their respec-
tive neighborhoods that satisfies their
ambition. and so little that brings them
in contact with the life and movement Of
the great, busy world.
The commissioner remedy for this
condition Of affairs is better schools in
every part Of every county, and his plan
for getting better schools is a law auth
orizing each county to levy a special
school tax. He is satisfied that the peo-
pie would willingly pay such tax. The
great majority Of them believe that with
come desire for newspapers. magazines
and books, and that from these would
be gained ideas that would lead to the
making of homes more attractive. The
loneliness and harships Of farmers life
would gradually disappear under these
new conditions, and the movement to-
wards the towns would become less.
There is another thing, the commits
sioner says. that has helped to strength
en- the desire for better educational ad-
vantages. and that is that very little i'm
migration Of the better kind seeks the
counties that are not wen supplied with
churches and good schools. Almost the
first question a. home-seeker from the
east or west asks, when looking at land
in any county, is whether the county has
good public schools. If the schools are
poor he seldom tarries long, however
good and cheap the land may be. These
emigrants from the east and west IN
derstand how great the benefits are
which good schools confer upon a com
munity. and they are not likely to seek
homes where the schools are neglected.
There is no doubt that the position of
the state school commissioner in this
matter is emnently correct. His plan for
making the schools better is an excellent
one, and If the legislature is sufficiently
broad-minded it win adopt either his sug-
gestlon or some other similar to it. II
the rural districts had schools as good
as those in the cities it would not be long
before there would be a large and steady
stream Of immigration flowing into the
state. The prices of land would rise and
all the really good lanos would be placed
under cultivation.
The commissioner should urge his plan
upon the attention Of the legislature, and
he ought to have the hearty co-opera-
ton of every well-wisher of the state.

The Governor and His Party.


It would seem TO be good policy for the
governor Of great state. such as Geor-
gia is, to ignore as far as possible fac
tons in his party. and to 50 administer
his great Office as to give the people no
cause for complaint. If there are differ
ences in his party he should seek to heal
them. At any rate, he should never pur-
sue line of conduct calculated TO ALLEVIATE
any Of his support. The man who occu-
pies the office Of chief executive Of d
state is the governor Of the whole people
Of the state--not Of a faction.
Tho foregoing remarks are suggested
by something that occurred in this coun-
ty recently. The county commissioners
requested the governor to issue a writ OF
election to fiji vacancy in the legisla-
tive delegation from this county. No at
tention was paid to the request. As far as
the county commissioners know, their re-
quest was ignored. A week after they
had made their request a member of a
democratic club of the county made a sim
liar request, through the Office of the or
binary. This request at once received at
tention, and the ordinary was directed to
fix the date Of, and to arrange for hold
ing the election.
is it not little remarkable that no at
tention was paid to the request of so
commissioners. and that the request of
a member of faction of the party should
have been compiled with so promptly?
1t is so remarkable that 1t is exciting
comment. When the governor has visit
ed this city he has been courteously re-
ceived by his party. Unless told he would
not have known there were factions in
his party in this county Then, why
should he have sighted the request of the
county commissioners, who have control
of the county's affairs?
Even if the writ should have been d.
rected to the ordinary and not to the coun-
ty commissioners. the commissioners were
entitled to some notice of their request
AS a matter of fact. however. the or
binary in this county has nothing to do
with fixing the date of elections and pre-.
pairing for them. The law requires the
county commissioners to discharge that
duty. The writ, therefore, that was Is
sued to the ordinary had to be recalled.
and writ issued to the county commits
sioners.
1t looks as If the governor had decided
to do nothing toward ordering the cleo
ton to fill the vacancy until he had been
advised by the leaders of the faction to
whose request he responded. If this is
the case the position taken by him is re-
grettable. If he insists upon pursuing a
policy of that sort he is likely to make
more mistakes, and also to lose much of
the support he would otherwise have. In
conducting the affairs of a great state
peanut politics is out of place.

A Tale of Two Costers.

Reading your fish stories the other day
reminds me of a good one L once heard in
England" said Charles Coote, the come
dian. to the Washington Post. Il was
playing on one of the provincial circuits,
and happening into a bar for a half-and-
half after the performance l heard this
story from two costers. I will not at
tempt to give it in their dialect, because
you could not produce it in print, the
popularity being in the intonation rather
Khan the spelling of the words.
1t appears that the cOsters had made
a bet of half sovereign and the drinks
as to which could catch the most fish.
Accordingly, with the drinks beforehand.
they had repaired TO the river and thrown
in their lines. They sat there for some
thing like four or five hours without either
of them getting a bite. Finally one OF
them imagined he felt nibble at his hook,
and in his excitement he fell into the river.

The secretary of the Young Mems Bust

"A good many amusing incidents come

local civil service reform, according to the
Chicago Record. Il recall one incident
which struck me as being particularly
funny. We We're putting one of the pa
trolmen through, and the big fellow fun

moment or two, but finally there came

eyes, and in a triumphant tone he an

Whit They Celebrate.

On July 10, 1870. Napoleon III, Emperor
of France, declared war against Prussia.
He did not expect that the southern Ger
man states would take sides with Prus-
STA. But he soon learned of his error
Within less than two months Napoleon
and MacMahon, with $4,000 men were sur
rounded by an army of north and south
Germans, at Sedan, where on Sept. .,
they were defeated with severe loss. The
emperor was forced to surrender his whole
army, with their accoutrements and bag
gage, to the Germans, and was himself
sent a prisoner of war into Germany. The
battle of Sedan proved to the French
that with Germans blood was thicker than
water, and from that time the unihcation
of all Germany was assured although the
southern states did not formally enter the
confederation until the month of Novem-
Der. Tomorrow will mark the twenty
fifth anniversary of the battle of Sedan.
and the German citizens of this city, with
the assistance of their German friends
of neighboring cities. propose to celebrate
the occasion in a fitting manner. Sedan
was a glorious event in German history,
and will always be joyfully remembered
by the sons of the fatherland. Many of
those who fought at Sedan, and many of
their sons, are now American citizens.
but they can, and WILL celebrate the Sec
ond of September without abating one
iota their loyalty to the land of their
adoption.

Platinum is very valuable Ten thous-
and dollars worth of it was the other
day stored in a vault at a chemical works
in New Jersey. In the vaults there was also
some sulphurc acid, sulphuretted hydrogen
and other chemicals. Burglars dynamited
the vault in an attempt to get the plati-
mum, but the explosion of the dynamite
broke the chemical jars, and the vile Cd
ors that came from them drove the bur
glars away. There ought to be in this a
suggestion for the protection of bank
vaults against burglars.
