WITH THE EXCHANGES.

HogansvilIo Headlight: Public schools are the
only fundamentally adapted to the masses.
free schools are inc OFFSPRING OF clSluzauon'
the outcome of the teachings Of the Nazarine.
1t is as necessary function of the civil gov
eminent to provide schools as to furnish pure
water and good roads.
South Georgia Home: There are great many
things we need in Mitchell county. One of those
things is campaign of education. Our farmers
cannot longer afford to put up with a five
months school They ought by all means to
eight months school IN each school district If
they would do this they would feel more interest
in the school and would be willing to make
sacrifice. If necessary. in order to have their
children attend regularly.
Albany Herald: number of editors seem
to be in fair way to break into the next
Georgia legislature So much the better for the
Meriwether Vindicator: The Query following
have a stereotyped campaign cry that Query
is gaining ground but when asked where, in
what county, in what section, no response is
Forthcoming The statement that CSuerry is get
ting stronger seems to be the only campaign
stock the brethren have on hand and, like India
rubber, they are stretching 1t just as far as 1t
everything in sight till June 9Th, when their
cries will be forever hushed.
Dalton Argus: There has been quite a dis
cussion recently about how the business men
OF Dalton stood on the guDernaIOrlal question.
The Argus reporter was interested in the mat
ter and in company with Squire s. B. Felker
polled the vote Of the business men on Hamll-
ton street Thursday, with the following result:
Estll. 40; Terrell &c; Query, 10 Out of no
interviewed II of the number gave no express
sion o. their choice.
Ocilla Dispatch: The farmers throughout
Georgia should at once resolve to make June
5th holiday, far work on the farm is
concerned, and go to the polls and vote for
their choice for governor and other officers.
Senoia Enterprise: The gubernatorial cam
paign is warming up considerably over the
not jump on everybody with both feet who does
not agree with him he would be the strongest
man in the race
Augusta Chronicle: 1t has been suggested that
the name of Meeting street in Charleston be
changed to Hampton avenue and The Post
approves of the idea Charleston is very con-
sentative, but we sincerely trust that in this
instance the old town will consent to make
such an innovation altering the time
honored name of Meeting street. The latter title
is meaningless now, while nothing that the city
could do would be too great an honor to the
memory of Wade Hampton.
Abel News Presenting that the lists are
closed to candidates for governor, we beg to
say that there are several issues involved in
the campaign which will cause US to line up
with the Hon. Dupont Query for governor.
Believing that state prohibition is greatly to be
desired and recognizing in Mr.. Query strong
ana fearless advocate of this measure, we give
his candidacy our hearty approval. Repeated
efforts have been made by the followers Of Mr..
Terrell to belittle and belle Guerry's attitude
on several public questions, and It is these
unfair attacks that cause us to speak forth the
words of truth and soberness in his behalf.
Jackson Economist: Thoroughly entrenched in
the offices of the state government backed by
the powerful whisky trust and the even more
gigantic monster railroad combine, they bid
defiance to all corners, whether in the party
or not this monster combine rides rough shod
over the people, nominating by its dictation
our legislators. our judges, our governors and
contest will be watched with interest by thou
sands Of Georgians who have been fighting
against the dynasty for years.
Griffin News: We have no unkind feelings
toward any member Of the prison commission
and no occasion for such feeling. They are
all clever gentlemen against whom we do not
propose to say anything personally unpleasant.
II is not that we want to see Tom Eason de-
feated, for we have always admired the abl
ity with which he has retained himself in Of
flee, and If he is renominated we shall be first
to congratulate him.
Athens Banner: It is a prevalent idea here
among the uniformed that the object of the
northern philanthropists who came south in
the cause Of education is to educate the negro
alone to the detrimept of the whites. This is
just the opposite, however and William H.
Baldwin. of New York, president of the Cen
eral Education Board, strikes the keynote Of
their intentions in the following words: Il be-
and to my mind the best way to do this is to
equip him with intelligent Industrial train
u
which cannot be used is waste Of time. Ex-
cept in the rarest of instances, I am bitterly
opposed to the so-called higher education for
negroes.
4 Gainesville Advertiser: II. II. Perry, of
Gainesville, has announced candidate for
the state senate. Mr.. Perry is of the abIest
lawyers in this circuit.
Gainesville Advertiser: The three candidates
for governor of Georgia are all good men.
Each one could run for office upon his
merit without trying to vilify the others.
Walton News and Messenger: Query running
as a state prohibitonist and his law partner
running as local optionist ought to catch 'em
gwyne and comm. It's worse than our
Populist friends charged the Democrats with
when the national convention put Bryan and
Sewall on the free silver platform Bryan and
Sewall We're both avowed free silver adherents,
but Sewall's father was a gold standard DEM
ocrat, and Populst friends said they
couldn't stand such a combination
Sparta Ishmaelite: Query will have his
hands full in managing Sam Jones and Len
Broughton IL they take the stump for him.
They are strong hands with the paddle.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Every newspaper
man in Georgia has a kindly feeling in his
heart for Colonel Estill and no doubt many OF
them wish there were two governorships to
give out this time.
