About everybody in the state re-
joices that the House sees its way
to give the public schools ST 900 900
from the general fund, or thinks it
does. With this appropriation the
amount available for the public schools
will be about $2.OOO,O0O.
But is the House certain that the
revenue will permit so large an APP
propriatione That Is a Question that
ought to be answered before the bill
containing the appropriation is finally
passed. The people don't want
floating debt. A debt of that kind is
a troublesome thing. Sometime ago
there was large sum in the
general fund that came from the sale
of some property owned by the state.
The floating debt kept on increasing
until that money was taken to liquid
ate it.
During the discussion of the school
appropriation it was proposed that if
the revenue didn't yield the amount
appropriated the Governor shouldn't
! borrow the difference, and the propo-
sition was voted down. That meant
that in the opinion of the House If
the revenue applicable to school needs
is not sufficient to meet the appro-
priation the Governor should borrow
enough to make up the deficiency
should create a floating debt. That is
! bad policy.
The tax rate is limited to mills
/ The purpose is to bring it under that
amount if possible. There will be con-
siderable increase in the tax returns
this year, but even with mill tax
it is doubtful If the revenue will be
sufficient to meet the appropriations.
II will be noticed that the disposition
is to make appropriations on liberal
scale.
And there is no indication of a pur-
pose to inquire whether more money
isn't being paid for pensions than is
really intended by the law. Every
effort to make a thorough investiga-
ton of the pension business has fail
ed. There is an impression that a
strict construction of the law would
result in dropping from the pension
list a good many who are now draw
ing pensions.
But aside from the pension and
the school questions the Legislature
ought to be certain that the revenue
will meet the appropriations. If we
are not mistaken the Governor had to
borrow money this year. and borrow
ing money means the payment of in
terest The statement that the money
is simply borrowed until the taxes be-
gin to come is misleading. 1t means
that the state is behind in its finances,
/ in fact in debt

Evidence taken before the coroner's
court at Statesboro yesterday leaves
no doubt in the public mind OF the
guilt of Cato and Reed. the negroes
charged with the murder and crema-
ton of the Hodge family. And II
seems they had accomplices who are
not less guilty than the principals. The
machinery OF the law having been set
in motion, will go steadily forward
now until the fearful and brutal crime
is avenged upon the galiows. And the
promptness with which the iends will
be given their just deserts will he a
warning TO others who may be SINH
larly evil minded.

THE BOARD OF TRADE EXHIBIT.


The Georgia Legislature is going 10
send a committee of three of it's mem
bers to the st. Louis Exposition for
the purpose of inspecting the Georgia
exhibit. The committee will leave
shortly after the close of the session.
1t is safe to say that one of the most
notable exhibits the committeeman
will find is that illustrating the
naval stores industry, prepared and set
up by the Savannah Board of Trade.
This exhibit is the most perfect of its
kind ever undertaken and gives a vol
ume Of information about the industry.
If all of the other important Georgia
industries were even half as well repre-
sented at st. Louis. Georgia would
have the greatest show at the fair.
A St. Louis dispatch of last Sun
days date says: by special permis-
sion the Roosevelt boys We're permitted
to visit the Worlds Fair to-day" The
boys referred to are sons of the Pres
ident of the United States. Why was
an exception made in their favor? Is
there any patent of special privileges
conferred by their relationship to the
President? The great army of work
ing people who must toll six days to
earn bread for their families are de-
barred from viewing the exposition on
Sunday. their only day of rest and
recreation. The workers must take
a day off from their labor and sacri-
flee the days wages if they hope to
see the great show. But the Roosevelt
boys, having no scarcity of time and
no thought of expense, express a wish
to go to the fair on Sunday, and the
gates are opened to them "by special
permission" From the point of view
OF the Saba tarians, whose efforts
caused the closing of the gates to the
plain people on Sundays, the visit of
the Roosevelt boys on Sunday can
not be otherwise than harmful, by rea-
son of the example set. From our
point of view, Mickey Dougan and
Buster Brown and their fathers and
mothers have just as much right to see
the sights on Sunday as the Roose-
Welt boys or anybody else.
Since the Republicans seem anxious
to lug the silver question into the
campaign, claiming for their party the
credit of establishing the gold stand
ard, it is well enough to keep in mind
the fact that some of their present
leaders were not so long ago ardent
silver men. Speaker Cannon, for in
stance. has a record on financial leg
islation that is Illuminating. con-
temporary gives it briefly as follows:
I'm 1878 Speaker Cannon voted to
override the veto of Mr.. Hayes, a
President of his own party, of the
Bland-Allison silver bill In 1890 he
voted for the Sherman silver purchase
law, and in 1898. after it had precipi-
tated panic, he voted against the re-
peal of it. In 1895 he voted to reject
the proposition to make United States
bonds payable in gold.'

CASES
when thieves fall out"

when thieves fall out
Many have wondered why Ram
baugh. the self confessed holdup, i'm
plicated his partner, Hoffman. The
explanation is that Rambaugh thinks
Hoffman did not divide sauarely.
When Rambaugh was arrested he
turned over to the police a men,
orandum containing the amount he
received from each victim. The
amounts were not large and they did
not always tally with what the vic
Tins claimed to have lost. 1t was
through the accounts in the papers
that Rambaugh became suspicious OF
his fellow in crime.
Rambaugh Became Suspicious.
The way the holdups were worked
was for Rambaugh to hold the gun
while Hoffman searched the unfortu-
nate. Hamburger thought that Hoff-
separation and thereafter Ram
baugh went it alone.
Hoffman's statements seem to have
since verified Rambaughs suspicious.
In one instance where Rambaugh
marked down 81 as the result of the
holdup II is now said that over $13
was taken and that the Sc balance
found it's way into Hoffmans pockets.
Had Rambaugh kept still the au-
thorities would have had quite a little
trouble in locating Hoffman. Al
though they had a good description of
him. the chances are that he would
have skipped when he learned Of
Rambaugh's arrest.
Rambaugh and Hoffman will be
sentenced Monday.
