Useless Education.
FROM the dome of the Capitol at

colleges for the higher education of
the negro, which represents more mon
ey than all the colleges for the educa-
tlon OF the white boys In the entire
state OF Georgia. But the negroes that
are educated here In these colleges at

northern philanthropists will not

Negroes Faro the Best.
The colored people of the state of
Georgia do not need more schools. The
state legislature appropriates s1,540, 900
from the public treasury every year,
and the counties about 100000 more.
Every time dollar is spent to edu-
cate white child another dollar is
spent for negro child. The appro-
priation Is equally divided according
to the school population, of which
about AZ per cent is black, and thus
the colored children get Al per cent of
the money, although the white people
pay 95 per cent Of the taxes.
Thomas Jefferson was an abolition
list, and said that 1t was impossible for
the two races to live together. He be-
lieved that deportation Of the colored
race was absolutely necessary, and I
believe that 1t may come to that unless
the plan of Booker Washington is ex-
tended over the entire south. But we
are getting along pretty we'll here in
Georgia. We are not having any
trouble with our negroes. Our laboring
element gets along better than any

AND THE YEARS 20 BY.

tisAtly sips youth at the wines of its joys,
laughs at the charms of yesterdays TOYS;
Lie is SO long, and nothing alloys
And the years go by.
sAttle by little the world shows its dross
Deepens the sense Of enjoyment ana loss'
Pleasure is wearing off part of its gloss
And the years go by.
Now there is question and doubt and dis
may!
Well time will alter, and truth will outstay;
Night is as needful, perhaps, as the day-
And the years go by.
Work multiplies and pleasures abate-
So much to do, and we are so late
Duties still f1ocking now knock at the gate
And the years go by.
Once-ah, we sigh! but we never can stop;
What IS life for but to work till we drop?
Only one thought-to rise to the top
And the years go by.
Age Is oncoming, and what have we done:
oh, we had dreamed of such victories won!
Whose is the fault, and what is undone p
And the years go by.
What do we hold but a handful of dust?
We were so wise in our first ardent trust,
Somehow we missed the real metal for
rust
And the years go by.

FRIENDSHIP OF TWO WOMEN.
Brains and Beauty United In the Rare
Devotion of Notable
Twain.

A cynic declares that women never
really love each other in their hearts.
Like every other general saying, this
can be easily contradicted and dis
proved. 1t is perfectly true that wom-
en- of like gifts are often unsympathet-
ic to each other. but the tenderest
friendships have existed sometimes
between women of dissimilar appear
ance and mental endowments, says an
exchange.
Take, for instance. the warm and
devoted friendship which existed be-
tween Nine. de Stael and Nine. Re-
camier, two women Of unique and en-
tirely different personalities.
Nine. de Stael, in some respects the
most original thinker of the age, the
pioneer of modern history. had every
gift of mind and heart, but no beauty.
This she worshiped in the person of
Nine. Recamier.
One day Vicomte Adrien de Mont
morency seated himself between Nine.
de Stael and Nine. Recamier, when he
somewhat thoughtlessly remarked:
81 am now seated between intellect
and beauty"
With ready wit Nine. de Stael
promptly remarked: "This is the first
time I have been called beautiful
De Montmorency forgot that pretty
women do not like to be thought de-
ficient in intelligence.

WHY HE DID NOT MARRY.
The Excellent Excuse an English
Clergyman Gave to Queen
Victoria.

Queen Victoria, as is we'll known,
is strong advocate of early mar
riages. All her children save Princess
Beatrice married young, and her maj
esty never neglects an opportunity
of enforcing the duty of marriage
upon those with whom she comes in
contact. There is good story of a
motherly kind of appeal which she
made to Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, the
vicar of Portsea, a clerical friend, who
twice a year by special invitation
breaches to the queen. Afterward
she chats with him, more particularly
about the poor in the neighborhood
of the dockyard. He dimes with her
majesty at least twice a year, gener-
ally after the preaching. One night
she asked her bachelor guest if it
was true that he had ten curates. He
said it was quite true.
"Would it not be a wise arrange
ment, Mr.. Lang" said her majesty, eft
you reduced the number of your GU
rates to seven and took home a wife
to Portsea?''
Inc queen mas very sweet anu per-
suasive smile and she smiled gracious
ly upon Mr.. Lang.
"You see, madam" he replied, eff I
disagree with my curates we can part,
but if were to disagree with my wife
it might end in my having to leave
my parish"

said her majesty, and laughingly

COLUMBIA AHEAD
IN LAST TRIAL
Race Will Probably Decide Which
Yacht Shall Defend the
Americas Cup.

BATEMAN'S POINT, R. l., Sept. A.
A breeze of eight knots came up at
noon today. The yachts Columbia and
Constitution started on race, the re-
suit of which was expected to aid in
settling the question as to which shall
defend the Americas cup in the coming
series for the cup with Shamrock IL.
The Constitution came down the har-
Dor under three lower sails and club
topsail. She was followed by the Column
bia with jib topsail set to get out to
the start on time.
At 1910 the committe hoisted the
course signal for a ffteen-mile beat
to windWard and return. the course be-
ing south-southwest with the turning
mark anchored about four miles east
of Black Island.
The Columbia crossed the line first
in a fine position on the weather of
the Constitution. but the latter, instead
of following the old boat over the line,
wore around and headed for the line on
the port tack, crossing over a minute
after the Columbia. The starting times,
as seen from shore:
Columbia, 1:00:31.
Constitution, 1:01:50.
