GEORGIA GLEANINGS.

-Americus seems to have found
something better than q dog law.
Since the death of little Eugene Drane
in that city from the effects of dog
bite dogs have rapidly disappeared

time having removed 1870 poisoned
dogs.
Several gentlemen of Rome have
ordered 600 Of the English pheasant
eggs for early delivery. These eggs
vii be distributed to farmers and others
throughout the county, dozen to ff-
teen each, or enough for hatch. 1t is
expected that by this process $50 to
300 good birds will be obtained and
the nucleus formed for thoroughly
stocking Floyd county with this splen-
did game bird.
Green goods swindlers of New
York and Pennsylvania have been put
ting in some good work throughout
the section around Calhoun, as is evil
denced by the large number of new one
dollar counterfeit silver certificates in
circulation there. Several of the mer-
chants of Calhoun have been victim
lied by holders of these spurious bills,
and it is thought that other sections of
the state are being worked by the
swindlers. The certificates in question
are clever limitations of genuine bills.

AN ExTRAvAGANT ADMINISTRATIONS.

During the debate on the sundry
civil bill Saturday Senator Clay OF
Georgia showed that the Mckinley
administration has been the most ex-
trayagant in the history of the Ameri-
can government. While much has
been said about extravaganza and the
unlawful paying of political debts but
few people actually realized that
where the per capita tax only four
wears ago. under the Cleveland ad-
ministration, was $500 today it is $500.
The ordinary expenses of the govern
ment have increased Sl54, 100000 a
wear since Mr.. Mckinley became pres
ident. No war expenses are included
in the figures. The war is a separate
matter, which has caused an increase
of the public debt of $500, 600
since Mr.. Mckinley was inaugurated,
The ordinary expenses under Presl-
dent Harrison averaged S360.29l ,323
per annum: during President Cleve-
lands second term the average was
$3.50, AIS. SAG, while the average under
President Mckinley has been S5l4, $780,
254.

SOME of the defeated candidates and
their friends are dissatitied with the
new method OF electing judges and So
licitors, and, having resolved them
selves into 1.-THE people," are clamor-

as the knowledge of this paper extends
the fellows who do the voting are very
well pleased, and it is safe to say that
there will be no great hurry on the

A DR.. Gerber had left an estate OF
some 500, 600 to his great-great grand
children, of whom none was IN exist

specting the future life, and thought
that when his youngest great-grand-

he would himself revisit the earth,
and he desired the estate kept intact
until that time. The court held the

vHow to be happy though married" has

There can be 10 happiness without

From the SwainsboFo Pine Forest
Who is going to make the bread for
the next generation? 1t will not be-
the pupils of this generation unless
they are worked on the changing, for
nearly every boy of school age in all
this land renews every day of his life a
fresh pledge that he will not eat bread
in the sweat of his face. The fathers
and mothers are in great measure to
blame for this, as well as the school
system. Nearly all parents think their
children are better than any one else s.,
and they think because others may
shirk field duty that by ali means their
little darlings should not be allowed TO
fall below that of their neighbOrs. We
need a great revolution in our school
system. We want industrial education,
and no appropriation for school pur-
poses that does not carry with 1t an
industrial qualification should be al
lowed.

IT looks 10 this paper like Taylor is
being prosecuted in Kentucky. Al
though it is evident that majority OF
the people of his state preferred him
for governor that Office was taken
away from him. and now, IN order TO
escape prosecution by his political enc
mics for alleged connection with the
assassination of his Opp0oent, he has
been forced to go into aaOther state
temporarily. 1t is hard to believe that
a man who mas character ene2gh TO be

Kentucky would do tie things that
are charged against Mr. Taylor.
There is reason to believe that he iz q

THE prospects are that the pension
burden will be upon us many years yet.
Commissioner of Pensions Evans esti-
mates that there are about 925, 600 sur
vivor5 of the civil war. OF this num-
Der there were on the pension rolls
last year 742, 647. During the year 24,-
1877 pensioned veterans died. This
number is slightly more than three
and one-third per cent. Assuming
that the death rate among those not
pensioned is the same as among the
pensioners the total number of veter-
ans who died during the year would
be about 3n.S55. Commissioner Evans
estimates that the average age of the
veterans who still survive is about 90
wears. The last survivor of the war
of 1912 died last summer, Is years after
the close OF the war. At the same
rate there will probably be a few sur
vivors OF the civil war still Lying in
1870.

Apparently With Intent to End Her

Anna Doyle, a young woman, took
laudanum yesterday morning at No. lis
Crown street, apparently with suicidal
intent. The girl, who has respectable
relatives, has been addicted to drink in
ordinately.
While under the influence of liquor
yesterday morning she assaulted her
mother and later took the laudanum,
which she found in the room Of a Iodeer
in the house. The laudanum had been
bought by some one for toothache. DR..
p f. Metz was called and he attended
the woman, bringing her out of danger.
An effort will be made by the police
authorities to have the young woman
placed in some institution, as she is an
habitual user of drugs and narcotics
1t is said on what appears to be good
authority that her cracing for stimu-
lants is so strong that she drank a bot
tie of witch hazel belonging to lodger
in the house.
