be equally untrue in the others,
and we lose all confidence in any
thing he has to say.
The governor knows too, as
well as we, that If the money was
left in the treasury, as he suggests,
not dollar would be received by
the schools. That not day extra
would be added to the time of the
country schools nor would a dollar
be diverted to the school fund.
These funds are not handled in
this manner. II the university
were blotted out as he seems to de-
sire, the levy for the expenses of
the state would be cut just that
much, there would be no levy for
the university. That is all the
effect II would have upon the tax
es. And this parsimonious senti-
ment seems TO be, so far as we can
see, the active element in the gov
ernor's opposition to this bill. We
give below the statements of a
number Of the brightest minds in
the state, whose views Of the mat
ter would In all probability weigh
more in the minds OF our readers
than would the opinions OF either
the governor or the writer. So
far as we are concerned this closes

WINE BY THE HOUR IN ITALY
This Is Calculated to Make Some
People in Prohibition Georgia
Wish They Were There.

Italy just now should be a pleasant
place for the man with a thirst, a
small purse and a taste for Italian
wine. According to the Paris Debate
the grape harvest this year is ex-
ceptionally good, and will yield even
better results than last year. The
coopers are therefore fully occupied.
and the wine dealers one idea is to
empty his cellar of last years wine.
rms, however, is not easy, as there
is duty on exported wine, so that
Italy must consume it herself. The
price Of wine has fallen to ridiculous
levels, and a new system Of sale has
been introduced. Instead of wine by
the quart wine by the hour is the
regime
Thus at Catane for three cents one
can drink ad libitum for an hour
But the bargain is not so great as
might appear, for the price of wine
is only half-penny a quart, and to
drink three quarts of Sicilian wine in
an hour is no slight undertaking.
At the neighboring town of Aciaca-
tena the price for one hour is only
two cents, while for three cents one
can drink for two hours. So success
full has this system been in the south
that it has been adopted in the north
OF Italy In the neighborhood of
Bologna, where the wine is of better
quality than in Sicily, the tariff (per
hour is eight cents, while for the
second hour it is only six cents. and
for the third four cents. The result
IS that in Italy, a sober country, a
large number of "drunks" are to be
seen this summer.
