Local Items.

The prohibition act which goes into
effect January LIST. 1908, requires drug
gists to file prescriptions for alcohol
with the ordinary. Under the narcotic
drug act prescriptions are not required
to be filed. The above is the substance
of the information which Secretary
Phil Cook is sending out TO certain in
curing ordinsries of Georgia.
1t may be that some corporations are
fixing to get fined $50 by the Secretary
of State for failure to register as re.
quired by law. Unless that registra-
tion and titty-cent fee is paid by No
vember Isl inst that will happen to
them. This new registration law be-
came effective last year, and about $500
corporations in the state registered.
The fee for first registration is S., and
after that SO cents annually. And it is
incumbent on every duly chartered or
geniZation, except banxs, to comply
With this law every year.

RURAL SCHOOLS.

Governor Smith, in speech at CAL
houn last week, said:
"The fact that so many OF our rural
teachers are necessaFilY at work with
small experience and without having
had the best of opportunities to prepare
for training the children, makes 1T espe-
cially important that the general direc-
ton IN zach county of school work be
the very best Many of our county
school commissioners are poorly paid /,
and do not devote their entire time to
the work Indeed, many of them are
not trained teachers. ] urge that an
assistant county school commissioner
a capable woman, with the highest ca
pacity for teaching, be added wherever
possible. Such an assistant county
school commissioner should visit every
rural school, spending a week at time
teaching the classes and showing the
teacher how the best results can be OBJ
tanned Such an assistant county school
commissioner should hold teachers
normals twice month and help the
teaGhers prepare for the school room"

RATES MUST BE RAISED.

The retirement of some of the most
promising of Georgia's weekly newspa-
per men from the field is an Indication
of the fact that there is but little
money to be made at the present prices
The subscription price of papers, as we'll
as advertising rates and job work, must
of necessity be raised shortly or the
business abandoned Sparta Ishmael-
tie
There is a great deal of truth in the
above. During the past few years la
Dor, printing material and job and
newspaper stock have advanced from
% to so per cent, and yet the subscrip-
ton price of all the papers remains the
same, and advertising and job prices
have not been advanced.
There is no doubt of the fact that
prices must be advanced if some of the
newspapers of Georgia make even ex-
penses in the future. There is less
money in newspaper property than any
business on the face Of the earth, and
yet some people are of the opinion that
the lot of the editor is a bed of roses all
the time.-Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
