Pleased With His Visit.

Before leaving Gov. Patterson ex-
pressed himself as much pleased with
his reception in Knoxville From a
political standpoint it certainly must
have been pleasing to the governor who
could not help but contrast it with his
reception in this city, when he was
candidate for the nomination against
Gov. Cox. While he was then not with
out strong and ihfential friends, his
friends have increased in number two
or three times in the interval, and his
following here is undoubtedly very
strong. His friends are very confident,
and his visit here, they think, will add
greatly to his strength.
Regarding the primary plan as adopt
ed by the state committee, nota Pat
tersen man in Knoxville has been heard
to criticise it, and those who are posted
insist that the committee did the only
thing it could have done, that the last
democratic convention, which named
the committee, refused to adopt a mo-
ton calling for a primary, but did de-
eide to adopt some plan whereby all
counties in the state could vote on the
same day for candidate for governor.
Instead of being an indirect method, as
it is claimed, the voters east their votes
directly for their choice, but brake is
put on to prevent any possible frauds
in one county from suffering the result
as to another county or the whole state

LOCAL TAXATION FOR COUNTY
SCHOOLS.

One of the greatest needs Of today is
the education of the boys and girls of
Georgia. We can not expect to have
good schools without good teachers !;
and we GAN NOT have good teachers
without good salaries.
The amount set apart by the State
for the support of the county schools is
entirely inadequate. Additional funds
must be had from some source.
Local taxation is one means by which
the necessary additional funds may be
obtained.
Local taxation will not be a burden
to sny person, or any class of persons /;
but will be boon to the children and
the State.
The poor should vote for it, because
it provides the means to educate his
children.
The neither rich nor poor" should
vote for it, because it is easier and bet.
ter to pay tax to educate boy than it
is to pay tax to support the courts that
condemn the boy to imprisonment or
changing.
The rich should vote for it, because
in so doing you will be rendering q
great service to your neighboT and your
State. w. G. KEITH.

ABILLION IN GOLD.

When the average man reads
that congress at its recent session
spent more than a billion dollars,
he gets vague impression that
this is lot of money, but he does
not appreciate what an enormous
sum it really is. 1t helps some to
realize that the actual expenditure
was eight millions more than a
billion, and that these millions,
regardless of the fact that mil
lion is a lot of money. are thrown
off to make a round number, as q
grocer might throw off few cents
to please a good customer.
Congressman Hamline, of Mis-
souri,, has been doing q little fig
uring to bring the immensely of
this expenditure within realiza-
ton. He learns that it would take
thirteen 500 gold pieces to make a
pound, and $27 900 such pieces to
weigh a ton. On this basis, he
shows that the expenditures of the
late congress would weigh 1851
tons.
Allowing a ton to a wagon, it
would take 1851 wagons to haul
it. Allowing seven yards to the
wagon and team, the procession of
gold-laden wagons would stretch
over seven and a half miles. 1t
would take S2t freight cars to haul
this money, or about five ordinary
freight trains. If each man could
handle $50 pounds, it would take
"a, 068 nell to carry all this gold

The announcement that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the War De-
partment are working to the end
of creating a standing army of
$50, 900 men, to be in effective or
ganization two years hence, need
not occasion alarm anywhere. 1t
doesn't mean that war clouds are
lowering, nor that the regular
army is to be increased to the fig
ures named. What is meant is
that the state troops are to be
armed, equipped and instructed,
just as the regular troops are, and
are TO form a readily effective re-

WHAT THE SOUTH COULD DO.

For months Georgia has been
stirred with an activity in pelit-
icai affairs which ought to illus
trate how every State in the South
could be stirred with activity in
material upbuilding. If the press
and the people of the South would
bend their energies to the advance
ment of business interests with
the sleepless energy which the peo-
pie and the press OF Georgia have
for months given to political dis
cussion and work, there would
soon be a material upbuilding
from Maryland to Texas which
would make the South the wonder
of the world. If men can be SC
im5ued with energy in political
affairs, why can't the same energy
now be wisely directed 10 TIE
things which concern the progress
and prosperity of the people, viz.
the utilization of the natural re.
sources of the South as a basis out
of which to create abundant pros

the forty, in unison, making fran

an instant there was a scramble
and fight to get near the brooch
and grab it. The guard of the train
had to blow a riot call for the po-
lice, and the finder Of the brooch
took it to the police station. Not
one of the forty claimants went to
the station-house to prosecute his
or her claim. The inference to be
drawn is that there were forty liars
on the car who we're willing to be
forty thieves.

GAME In ABUNDANCE
In EVERY DIRECTION
Plenty of Hunters were in
the Field, Monday
Habits are Plentiful and Quail ar
More Numerous Than for
Years.

Monday the hunting season for
rabbits and quail opened and a host
OF nimrods were out early and late
IN pursuit of the game. Every nook
and corner of the surrounding ooun-
try seemingly was covered by the
sportsman and II ever there was any
zeal shown by hunter, it was shown
FULLY on the first day of the season
yesterday.
Tho sportsmen report the number
OF rabbits to be found as unsur-
passed. In fact there Is an abund-
ancye OF them and with little effort
they may be found, This is due
.argely to the past dry season. AS for
the quail they may be found with a
reasonable degree of effort and are
by no means quickly found. The
number OF Marion county farmers
who are placing the ban on the hunt
ers this year is one feature which
the sportsmen do not cherish alto
gether. although the action on the
part OF many Of the land owners has
had the effect Of durging more care in
hunting by the hunters themselves.
