SCHOOLS SHOW BIG INCREASE.
RETURNS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED
FROM ALL But ONE COUNTY.
Irwin shows Largest. Commissioners
Glenn, However. Expected the Re-
turns to Show Much Larger

State School G ,mmissiouer G.. r.
Glenn aas received the census returns
from every county in The state with the
exception of Floyd county.
The census is the one provided to be
taken every five years, and shows the
number of children of school age in
the state. The last census was taken in
1898, and the number of children at that
time was 604, 971.
The increase this year, estimating the
increase in Floyd county to be an aver
age one, is per cent over the census
of 1893. The exact number shown by
the consolidation, estimating FLOYD. is
652 ,249, showing an increase of 1878.
The increase may be greater or less than
this should the increase in Floyd county
be greater or less than has been esti-
mated
The increase Of the census of 1898
over the census of 1898 is about equal
| to the increase of the census Of 1893
over that of 1885. The census of 1893
was about $4,000 greater than that of
1888, which was an increase Of about 7
per cent.
There was an increase in all the coun-
| ties with the exception of twenty one.
In these there was slight decrease,
The consolidation will also probably
show that the increase in the counties
was greater in proportion than the in
| crease in the cities
The largest per cent of increase IN any
county was Is per cent in Irwin county,
which has sprung up since the last CEN
sus. The exact increase was ], 1873.
The total number Of white children Of
a school age, according to the present
census is 316,560. The increase of the
whites over the census OF 1898 is 21.Gzo.
| The increase of colored over the census
OF 1898 Is 26,626. This shows that the
colored have increased with greater
rapidity
Commissioner Glenn expected the in
crease to be greater than 8 shown by the
census on account of the fact that great
many people have come to Georgia from
other states during the past few years
and number Of colonies have been es-
tablised. He tn ught the Increase would
reach almost 10000, and was little sUG-
prised when the returns failed to show
| larger increases.

DECREASE IN TAX RETURNS.
The State VIII show Decrease of Four
Million Dollars

Enough counties have been heard
from to indicate approximately the
amount Of the decreasein tax returns.
1t will be about S3,OOO,0oO, and would
be about $4,000, 900 but for the increase
of one million in Fulton county, esti-
mated by Receiver Armistead.
The returns Of tax values to the
comptroller general continue TO show
a decrease. Ninety-fve counties have
sentin their returns and of this number
Sc show decreases and % show
increases in the amounts Of property
returned.
The decrease in the 66 counties is
50, 631,, 306, and the increase in the %
counties is 5000, 357, making a net de-
crease of $3.50, 979 in the 95 counties.
There are ~ counties which have not
reported, and Mr.. w. H. Harrison, the
chief Of the tax department., thinks
about the saue proportion will be
maintained,
Several Of the large counties are yet
to be heard from, but little increase Is
expected from the large municipal
counties, excepting Fulton, which is
expected to show an increase of a mil
lion dollars. This is the information
which comes to the tax department
from Tax Receiver Armistead.
But for Falton the decrease in the
state would probably be about $4,000
900. This county VIII offset about a
fourth of that, so that the net decrease
for the state will be about 100000
The decrease of one million in the
state last year left the total of SAP,
32l 900, and this years further de
crease will bring it down to about
$409, 10000.

marcus ana pirates OF the CITY were hur-
ried int the ocean in the very houses in
which they sat. The ships in the barbor
careened and sunk one by one as tbe
great seismic disturbance continued
drawing down in their wake the terror
stricken sailors and buccaneers who
sprang overheard and in less than five
minutes all the wickedness, all the de-
bauchers, all the sin of the proAigate
city were hidden forever beneath the
waves.
Not long after this frightful disaster
came another upon the city which took
the place OF the one which slipped into
the sea. Port Royal was rebuilded, not
with is old splendor and magnifcence
not with its former glory and luxurious
ness, but as seaport city, and in 1903. a
few years after it had assumed the pro-
portions of city, it was entirely de-
strOyed by fire. Again it was built M.
but the avenging power was not vet
stated, for hurricane swept the greater
portion of the town into the ocean in
1922. Almost hundred years later,
when the city bad once more risen on its
old site, it was laid in ashes once more.
in 1916. Repeated distinctions have
left nothing of the city as it once was.
In 1880 hurricane destructive To- life
and property swept over the place and
once more partially destroyed it.
Kingston now stands close to where
Port Royal, the old town of revelry and
vice, once stood. The ships in the har-
Dor float over the houses which slipped
into the sea and far, far below their
keels lie the imprisoned people who
were swept away with vain prayers for
mercy upon their lips. The spire of the
cathedral Is the most prominent of the
ruins in the clear water, as it had raised
its taper finger towards heaven high
above the other build ngs. Close to it
lie the fleets of Spain and England, sunk
in the fearful hurricanes which sweep
those placid waters, with the coral fast
forming on their masts and bulls. III
their shadow Turk the sea monsters OF
these waters, playing about the door
" Is and Easements of the houses and
shops, where vice once held sway. No
man has ever penetrated the depths
where the phantom city lies to explore
its secrets, two centuries old, and all
that can be learned of the sunken town
is CLEANED by peering into the trauspar-
emf waters on a bright day when the
wind does not Iuffle the surface OF the
harbor.

her to read French novels. If you ask
Ere nch girl how she likes 10 live in Paris
she tells you that she never went down
town alone in her life.
But the Polish girls are different.
They are individual. They all have a

you never feel as if you had met ALL In
this respect they resemble American
girls, but only IN this respect, for,

In 1919, a squad of battery l, of the
regular army, was firing a salute at
Lime Point fort, near San Francisco,
says the Youths Companion. One load
the charge was 80 pounds of powder
inclosed II a woollen bag-did not go
off, and the officer in command or
dered it TO be pulled out of the can
non.
The charge was withdrawn, and, as
it dropped TO the ground, II was seen
that one corner of the WOODEN bag WAS
Cn fire. In an instant the powder
would have caught and the seven men
with their officer would have been
killed. Private John NJ. Jones jumped
toward the smouldering bag, rolled it
in the mud and, with his bare hands,
plastered the singeG edges with damp
earth.
1t was a quick, brave deed, and had
the hero been a British soldier It
would have brought him Victoria
cross to wear-on his breast.
During the Sepoy war young cap
tain of artillery saw an ignited shell
fall near his battery. Instantly he
lifted it up, carried it a distance. and
flung it away. just then it burst shat
