NO INJUSTICE DONE.

There is q disposition In certain
quarters to kick because some
counties in Georgia get back more
money in the public school fund
than they pay the State in taxes,
while others get back great deal
less, says the Eatonton Messenger.
The counties that get back great
deal less are those in which large
cities are located, and obviousIy
the complaint is from those cities.
This complaint is made with a
well-simuiated air of injury, but
as matter of fact there is no
cause for complaint. The State
taxes are levied equitably and col
lected uniformly, except as to tax
dodgers in the large cities, and the
school fund is distributed properly
and lawfully.
The object of the public school
laws is to provide a common
school education for every child
In the State between certain ages
To this end the public school fund
is distributed in the different
counties of the State according to
school population, and the coun-
ties of Fulton, Chatham, Rich
mond. Blob and Muscogee, in
which large cities are located get
their pro rata shave, according to
chool population. Nothing coulds
be fairer, and the sum paid into
the State treasury in taxes by
these counties, or by the other
counties. has and should have
nothing to do with the manner of
distribution of this fund. If the
fund were distributed according
to the amount of State taxes paid
by each county, the per capita
sum would be considerably greater
In some counties than in others.
and thus an inequality would be
created and real injustice done.
The public schools of some coun-
ties would have more money than
they needed, and those of other
counties would not have enough
to run three months in the year.
There is naturally greater
wealth in the counties containing
large cities, and these counties
therefore pay more money in
State taxes, but the State tax rate
Is the same throughout the State.
The system of taxation being uni
form, there can be no discrimina-
tion against the large cities, and
the fact that the sum total paid
by them is larger than that paid
by counties which do not contain
large cities is merely the result of
the concentration of wealth in the
large cities.
The whole thing is right. 1t
could not be changed equitably
and lawfully.

What may be called the electric
confidence trick, as recently prac-
tlced, shows that its inventor is a
man of genius as we'll as crime.
This thief, says Answers, was dis
tlnguished by the perfection of
his garments and appearance. In
pocket of his elegantly fitting
coat was the secret of his success.
1t was a powerful little electric
battery, joined by wires to me-
tallic plate, which he held in the
palm of his right hand. Approach
Ing his intended victim with out
stretched hand, he would greet
HIM with the fervor of an old
friend. Woe betide the unlucky
man if he accepted the proffered
handshakel A sharp electric shock
rendered him powerless, and with
a few deft movements he was
stripped of purse and iewelry.
Another use of the electric wire in
thieving has been put to use in the
form OF small lasso, which be-
ing thrown over the victims head
and pulled around his neck, gave
him a continuous shock, which eff
fectually prevented him from cry
ing out.

ADVANTAGE OF COURTESY.

A courteous man often succeeds
in life, when persons of ability fail.
The experience of every man fur
nishes frequent instances where
conclllatory manners have made
the fortunes of physicians, law
yers, divine, politicians, mer-
chants, book agents, and indeed,
individuals of all pursuits. 1t be-
ing introduced to a stranger, his
affability or the reverse creates in
simultaneously a prepossession in
his favor, or awakens unconscious
ly a prejudice against him. To
men civllity is, in fact, what a
pleasing appearance is to women ;
it is a general passport to favor
a letter of recommendation writ
ten in language that every per-
son understands. The best of men
have often injured themselves by
irritability and consequent rude
ness, whereas men of inferior abil.
tiles have frequently succeeded by
their agreeable and pleasing man
ners. Of two agents equal in all
other respects, the courteous one
has twice the advantage, and by
far better chance of making his
way in the world.

But" said Colonel Wight, "there
are other things to be looked at. The
