deducted from the gross amount
received for their hire. But EVEN
after this is done when we take
into consideration the amount of
whiskey and other spirits which
colored people drink, the shows
which they visit the taxes upon
which are devoted to the school
fund, the fertilizers which they
use, fees for inspecting which go
the same way, aud while white Ia

siderably enabling in part the les
ses to pay $4,000 year for it

it will be seen that $250,00 per
annum for colored schools is a
moderate estimate as to the
amount which this race actually
contributes for this object.
At the same time it cannot be
denied that some colored people
themselves such as Booker Wash
ington, Dubois, Waters and others
have done great deal to create a
sentiment in the south, especially
in Georgia, unfavorable to colored
education and to colored people
in general. Washington works
insiduously while the others are
open in their denunciation of and
threats against the white people.
On the principle that the vinegar
never catches flies we see cores
ponding reaction on the part of
whites. The leaders of the color
race should know that they can
never accomplish anything by
force in the United States. There
are in this country 68,0O0,00C
white people to 100000 colored
people. Instead of the fewer
making the greater in numbers the
soft answer that turneth away
wrath should be given.

The cclored people have petit
toned the legislature net to rec
ommend to the county boards of
education of the state which have
the authority to act in the prem
ises the apportionment of the
school money between the races
III proportion to the amount of
tax paid by each race. 1t is prob
able that it was not intended that
the bill introduced for this pur-
pose should pass. Tho newspa-
pers reporting the matter made it
very clear that the county boards
of education have the authority
to make such an apportionment.
This fact has not been generally
known, and very likely the pur-
pose of the billwas to inform these
authorities of their powers and at
the same time give them a hint to
carry out the suggestion of the
bill.
1t is very probable that the col
ored schoole of the state will re-
celve III the future very much less
than they have received in the
past, They now receive in the ag-
gregate about $3.50, 600 per annum.
The writer believes that they arc
entitled to all of this and that
this sum should not be reduced.
This race pays taxes on $15, 900, 900
III the state of Georgia, making
about $4,000 for all purposes that
they pay the state on property.
About one-fourth Of this or 800. :
500 would be for educational pun
poses. Besides this they pay saw
$40, 900 as poll taxes. The hire Of
cOnvlcts goes TO the school fund.
ColOred schools should have the
hire of colored convicts. Year in
and year out the the number Of
colored convicts in the various
chalngangs will average , 900 able.
bodied persons. These should
and probably soon will bring 500
a year each. This would give the

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

There is no sort of doubt of the
energy with which the intelligent
NEIL of the South are taking up
the question of the extension and
improvement, of the schools of
that section. The amount of
work that has been done since the
close of the civil war, and the
amount of money that has been
expended are very great when we
take into consideration the diff
cultles with which the South has
had to contend. There is no chap
ter IN the history Of the country
of which we have occasion to be
more proud than that which re-
counts the rise of the South from
the desperate state in which it was
after the war. But the leaders of
Southern opinion have come to
the conclusion that the fruits of
the hard-earned prosperity the
South is now enjoying cannot
fully be harvested unless educa-
ton is made very much more gen.
eral and much better. They are
turning their attention especially
to the country districts, which
are still the most important and
in which the illiteracy is the
worst, and their movement derives
particular life from the change in
the methods and aims of school
ing that has taken place in the
last twenty years. The amount
of unsefsh and faithful work now
being done by the teachers of the
South in an intelligent and pro-
gressive manner is very great, and
it is constantly increasing.
The situation is extremely hope
fui, and those who are laboring
still further to improve it are en-
titled to the respect ard the aid
of all intelligent Americans of
whatever section.-New York

A MELANGE OF LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by q Local Scribe.
ANSWER To KON.

In reply to Kons statement as
to the vast amount of money
which. the w. & A. railway has
paid into the treasury of the state
and will pay therein before the
expiration of the present lease
it may be observed that the inter
est on the bonded indebtedness of
the state. which oy the sale of the
railway would be discharged, has
amounted and will amount iii the
eighteen years the lease has to run
almost to a sum which the state
has and will receive from the rail
way The bonded Indebtedness
of the state is, in round numbers,
81 5000 The annual interest
on this at the rate of four per
cent is $304,000 The W. & A.
railway can be sold for $40, 900, 900
which after retiring the states
bonds would leave 100000 in
the treasury which is worth to the
state at four per cent, 100000 per
aDnum. Consequently Gthe state
would save by the sale Of the road,
1894, 900 per annum instead of re-
celving $4,000 per annum for
its lease. But the states road
pave no taxes either state, county
or municipal. If sold 1T would
pay all of these taxes. 1t should
be taxed for its interest in Geor-
gia at least upon S., 100000. At
the rate of six dollars per thou
sand it would pay the state $780,
600 per annum in taxes. There
fore the total gain to the state by
the sale of the road would be
1924 900 per annum or 81 900
more than it now pays. Cobb
county and Marietta would also
be greatly benefited by having
this properly subjected TO county
and city taxation. OF course if
the road should be sold at this fig
ure the Legislature should provide
that the surplus Of $2,6O0,OOO
should always remain as contin-
gent fund with which to meet cas-
ual deficiencies, and that the reve-
nue. derived therefrom should be
returned. This wonld prevent it's
being permanently dissipated and
would save the annual borrowing
of 5000, 900 by the state to provide
for the current expenses of the
government.
By the time that the present
lease expires there will be at least
two competitors for the w. & A.
between Atlanta and Chattanooga
the Southern which is already
in existence and the L. & N. which
is sure to build a line from say.
Ellijay to Chattanooga and which
will extend its present line from
Marietta to Atlanta, With these
two competitors and perhaps 9TH
ers the w & A. would, with no
connections, hardly rent for $15,-
600 per month at the end of the
present lease. This would not half
pay the interest on the public debt
at that time.

The directions Of the Copper Top Mining company held their regular monthly meeting at the company office yesterday which was of more interest than former ones from the fact that the report of the mine was made by President F. Pomeroy, who has been il actual charge Of the mining opera tions since June last, and with it a rec ommendation that changes the status of the company in regard to the out side investors. for hereafter the stock will be on the market, in a limited amount fer 20 cents per share instead of 10 cents as heretofore.

He believed from the nature oi the ledge that they were now in the ledge proper and had developed a big mine. The report was ConcUrred in by Wellington and K.
