Spring Time the Best Season of the Year to Treat Chronic Catarrh.

Notwithstanding that a great number of people have been cured Of chronic Catarrh by taking Peruna during the past cold season, yet it cannot be denied that the cold, wet, stormy weather has retarded many cures, and, in some cases, actually prevented a cure.
 But springtime has come at last, and now is the time for all catarrh sufferers to begin systematic course of treatment for this disease. The greatest difficulty in the way of treating chronic catarrh Is that the patient is so liable to catch cold during the treatment and thus delay cure.
 This liability at this season of the year is in a great measure, removed, and no one should neglect the opportunity to take treatment
 Peruna is acknowledged by everyone to be the only reliable and unfailing cure of catarrh wherever 1t may be located. When you take Peruna you are not exper- imenting with an unknown remedy.

TAXPAYERS WONDER WHY.

Many taxpayers are wondering why
the school board did not include the
estimated cost Of the high school
building in the total amount Of bonds
the people are asked to vote on June
goth. The Statesman does not know
why this was not done. Perhaps the
board thought that adding $4,000 or
more to the $63, 729 asked for would
frighten the voters and defeat the
whole proposition. Some voters would
hesitate a good while before voting
for bond issue of $4,000 or more.
Again. il may be that the financial
institution that will probably handle
the warrants to be issued in payment
for the high school objects to the is
sue Of bonds in payment for the build
ing for the reason that it would mean
a loss Of five per cent interest on the
warrants. The bonds could be tlOated
at from 312 to 4 per cent and would
probably be taken by some eastern
firm.
After the high school is completed
the bonded Indebtedness of the dis
trict will be $11S.72969 and the war
rant Indebtedness will be at least
$4,000 more, making total of
$l68,72969.
This is nearly three times the one

ton Of $4,000. o00-$6O .000-and is
dangerously near the five per cent
limit which may be reached under Ger
tain conditions-a little less than
100000.
The discussion OF the high school
question has had one good effect at
least. 1t has opened the eyes of the
people to the fact that the school d.
rectors handle very large sums OF
money and that the Indebtedness OF
this district will soon reach a point
where it will be more than d0ubl3

THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO
Atlanta Constitution.

Here in Georgia, where the negro
pays one-thirtieth of the taxes, we
are giving four Of the negro's children
common school education to five of
our own. Mr.. Carnegie's gift to the
cause of negro education is a princely
one, but it is small compared with the
millions that the white taxpayers of
Georgia alone have spent upon the
negrO's education since the war; a
drop in the bucket compared with
what the whole south has spent upon
him during that time.
