INDIVIDUAL EFFORT.

There are in Dawson, as in many
other towns, too many young men, and
older ones, too, for that matter, who are
waiting for something to turn up. This
gives place the dry rot. What is
needed is hustling men young and old
who will roll up their sleeves aud
make things move.
A late president of one of our colleges
once said: "The habit of standing
idle, waiting for dead mems shoes, kills
the life in many rich mans son. 1t
is paralysis of body and mind. L can
pick out nearly every boy in this college
whose idea of lifeis to spend the mon
ely which somebody else has earned.
His looks, his acts, his talk are infect
ed with dry rot"

cEORcIA'S PENSIONS.

There is no doubt that GeOrgia's pen
sion business is much larger than any
one has anticipated, and but few,
perhaps, have any idea how rapidly
the pension roll is growing, Under
the INDECENT pension law the probable
tiles are that the people of the state
are taxed to support some who are able
to support themselves.
The News has been contending for
some time that the present pension
system of this state works an injustice
upon the already Oyerburdened taxpay-
ers, and thatit should be re Used. The
press is now taking the matter up, and
we may hope to see reform along this
line. Referring to the already large
pension roll, the ChattoOga News says 4:
"Since the last appropriation by the
legislature the INDECENT list Is grow
ing surprisingly. The probable in
crease of this list alone, based on con-
sentative estimates, in the state will
be from 5000 to 5000 over last years
list, which was only 1000. Placing
the increase for the state at 5000, the
total number of applicants under the
INDECENT act this year would be 5000.
Exactly one half of this number can be
paid with the appropriation of $150,OO0
made by the legislature. Here We
would have deficit of like amount
in this feature of Georgia's pension
business alone. The prospects are
that at least $500 old soldiers on the
INDECENT list will not get paid this
year"
No one will, for moment, object to
fair pension for confederate soldiers
who are unable to support themselves,
but every possible provision should be
made to prevent unworthy or unde-
serving men-men who do not need
help-from sharing in the bounty of
the state. This is but just to the tax
payer and the deserving veteran as
we'll.

HAVING discovered that many thous-

for taxation in Georgia, the Macon
Telegraph has turned its searchlight
on the returns of merchandise and
brings many curious facts from under
cover. Not one dollar of merchandise
was returned for taxation in Campbell
county in 1896, or in Worth county in
1895; only $500 was returned for Tat
pail, 81 $50 for Taliaferro and similar
small amounts for others counties both
in 1895 a I'd 1896. There is evidently
something radically wrong with the
existing methods of assessing and col.
