Just now, when the public

is an opportune time for empha-
sizing the Importance OF full at.
tendance OF white children. Too
much stress cannot be laid upon
this. Every white child in t h e
State should be sent to some
school long enough at leastto Oh
tain a common school education.
Not a single one should grow up

and CIPHER,
There does not seem to be. as
much Importance attached to
this matter In the rural districts
as in the towns and cities where
as there should perhaps be more.
The child on the farm has less
opportunity to pick up some I'd.
ucation outside Of school than
the one in city or town, who is
thrown more with books and
with playmates thatgo to school.
Again, if the child in the country
be not put to school at an early
age tits apt to miss all school
opportunities, from the fact that
as a rule it begins regular work
earlier in life than the other.
Hence it's opportunities for going
to school are Of shorter dura-
ton. Let now he considered the
proper time for every white child
in the state to attend school.
Don't put it of till next school
year in the case of any, for who
knows what greater difficulties
may exist when that time has ar
rived? We know thatin many in
stances families are caused much
inconvenience by the children {
absence from home. Especially Is
this the case on farms tits Otter
difficult for the housewife to get
along without their help, and
} also, they are needed in the out
of.doors work by the farmer hin
) self. But parents should be vii
ling to make sacrifices for the fu
| ture welfare of their children
} They should look rather to what
they desire and expect tha child

Not All a Matter Of Vanity,

delight in dress from time i'm
memorial. Civilization has done
nothing to eradicate this primi
nine instinct from the feminine
heart. To the idle few it is a bus
mess; to the busy many it is a
hobby. Now and then we hear a
woman say that she wished she
never had to think Uf new clothes
and could dress in cast iron This !
as a rule is a mere expression OF
irritation. She has bought some.
thing that disappoints her or
had to 60, without something
she would like. A man whose din
ner is not to his taste may say
that he would like to live on es-
sences put up in tabloids, but he
does not mean it. But it may be
said, surely this is @ sweeping in.
dictment to bring against the
vanity OF women. On the contra.
~, We believe that only q very
slight proportion of women in
any class are vain, though those
few make in all classes a great
show. Their small minds are con-
cenrrated upon themselves and
they will sacrifice anything for
personal adornment. They are
weary unless they are being ad.
mired.
But many emotions besides van.
lity tend to the love OF dress. II
we begin at the bottom of the
scale, dress is the commonest and
most easily recognized mark OF
social distinction. All respectable
people below a certain rank de-
sire that their clothes should all
orn not only their persons, but
their station. A poor woman
who makes an effort to dress
herself and her children conspic-
uously we'll is making an effort to
live up to a high standard. Oi
necessity she must think a great
deal about the matter. She must
work, consider and plan, a d
plan, and feminine human ma.
tule being what it is and cheap
clothes being what they are, she
will not only think OF what is
suitable, she will sometimes spare
a thought for what she imaginet
would get no pleasure out OF 1eI
duty in this respect.

THAT HIDDEN MOTIVE

We are unable to learn why Abbie
Rinnert, j. j. Kruse, and few other
politicians Of the same stripe have been
making such desperate efforts to retain
OloH Olson as county commissioner and
prevent Emile Pauls from holding an
Office to which he was elected by the
people Of Elbert county at the election
last November.
Is it on account OF high personal regard
for Olson? We think not, as be can un-
doubtedly testify to the manner OF treat
ment he has received from these same
persons during his legitimate term of
office as commissioner.
Is it because the people OF the county
made such a terrible mistake in repudi-
ating Olson and electing Pauls that-it is
necessary, in order to save the county
from ruin, for these politicians to step
in and endeavor to thwart the plainly
evidenced wishes of the people as shown
at the polls?
Is it that the people OF Elbert county
are in need of few guardians in the
persons above named to correct later,
by trickery or otherwise, the errors they
may make on election day. Would it
not have been more American in spirit
fc4' them to have seen to it at the con
vsntions and election that. the people did
not commit this Ito their minds) grave
error?
1t appears to us that these parties
must certainly have, back OF all this
effort they have set forth, some motive
that we are unable to unearth and we
believe it only just to the intelligent vot.
ers of Elbert county that they should
know what that motive is.
