which no child could enter the school
without having certificate that they
had paid four ($4.0O) dollars in cash
for each session.. And by this plan
about forty or fifty children have
been deprived of schooling the last
two years. Should these children We
turned out as beggars, without an
education, in this part of old Geor-

Is it any wonder that clamor of

eHre School Funds Properly
Used in Georgia i?

I desire to offer a few criticisms
on the present school system as prac-
ticed here in this part of the good
old State Of Georgia. Where our
legislators intended that every child
in this grand old State should never
be deprived of attending the public
schools while of school age. Whether
their parents had a dollar or whether
it was two poor orphans left to work
their own way in this sad and un-
friendly world, where mans chief
pursuit is to gain possession of as
many dollars as his short life will
enable him to capture in the race for
wealth, which all mankind have pur-
sued ever since Adam and Eve were
placed in the Garden of Eden I had
rather be the humble helper of one
of these little children to obtain an
education than to gain the many ill
gotten dollars that go to make up
the pile Of money that is so often
dished out to corrupt legislatures and
used for many illegal and ungodly
purposes. But I must give the facts
of our scho system here.

Uncle Ren1us

In October next, when ex-President
Roosevelt is coming to Atlanta to as
sist in carrying out the plan for hon
Chandler Harris, the South should
respond warmly and lovingly and
financially, and the purchase of Snap
bean farm, or the Sign of the Wren's
Nest, should be contaminated. The
plan consists of the purchase and
adornment of the home of the author
who knew the South and it's charac-
teristics and who put those character
lstics into black and white as no one
else has or perhaps ever will
Millionaires of the North who have
felt the charm Of Mr. Harris writings
stand ready to carry out the plan as
it has been outlined, but the hope is
that no millionaire will be permitted
to do what the readers of Uncle Re-
mus far and wide, but especially in
the South, should do themselves
When October comes let all who have
found a wellspring of comfort and
delight in the simple tales that Mr..
Harris wrote, because he knew the
South, be ready to make pilgrimage
to Atlanta Or else to send there a sum
that will satisfy their own con-
sciences and be an honor to the
South.
In other words, the South should
own Snapbean farm, turning it into
monument to the writer that all loved
so we'll, for it was there that the won
derful stories from the earliest lines
OF Uncle Remus down to the latest
story that came from his pen before
the days of the kindly, lovable au-
thor were completed, were written.
He loved his home and he never of
choice did any writing away from it,

PAGE SIXTEEN TIE. JEFF
Unique Silver Legislation Contem-
plated BY French Statesmen to
Promote Their FOREIGN Trade

into the channels of trade and in
dustry.
1t is further argued by these
shrewd Frenchmen that under pres
emit conditions it is great hardship
and heavy tax upon the silver-stan-
dard countries to purchase any goods
from gold-standard countries, as it
takes two dollars of their money to
buy one dollars worth of goods
manufactured or produced in any
gold-standard country. But that this
proposed plan would place the French
porters in a position where they could
eliminate this hardship and practical
ly draw the entire trade of silver
standard countries to France.
When it is suggested that other
nations would not permit France to
enjoy monopoly of this kind very
long before they would adopt some
thing similar, they declare that they
expect that, but by that time the
French manufacturers and exporters
will have built up such satisfactory
trade relations with the silver-stan-
dard countries, that it will be very
hard to divert it from the magain
The question now arises-what if
France should adopt this plan in her
trade relations with silver-standard
countries only? Germany would
surely be forced to do the same to
protect her trade. England would
also be compelled to follow suit to
protect her trade. Then what would
America do to protect her manufac-
turers, producers and exporters?
Should matters develop along these
lines, as it now appears likely to, it
will be a delicate and interesting
question for our statesmen to handle,
for when our manufacturers, pro-
ducers and exporters once realize the
loss that would accrue to them
through policy of this kind adopted
by European nations, they will insist
upon it's adoption by this country,
because they have now reached that
stage where they must either seek
greater foreign markets upon some
favorable terms or curtail their pro-
auctions. And would it not be far
better for our own country and peO-
pie to divert the profit our govern
ment now realizes each year through
its coinage of silver into legal tender
money, into the channels of trade and
industry by adopting some plan of
this kind to protect our own manufac-
turers, producers and exporters in
their trade relations with silver-stan-
dard countries? 1t is a problem that
should be seriously considered by all
our people, for directly or indirectly
it will affect us all, and may necessi-
tate the revision of our present cur
rency system to fit the new condi-
lions now confronting us.

competing with France will have to
sit up and take notice, for it would
revolutiOnize competition with the
Orient and all other silver-standard
countries.
The silver question may be con-
sidered dead in this country, but the
silver legislation contemplated by the
Frenchmen should be of deep interest
to all manufacturers, exporters and
producers in the United States, for it
may seriously affect their entire for
eign trade.
The French plan, as described by.
Well-knOwn gentleman recently re-
turned from France, who cultivated
the acquaintance of a number of
French statesmen while there, is that
prominent diplomats and statesmen
Of the French government are Sc
riously considering this unique plan,
for the sole purpose of establishing
closer trade relations between that
country and all silver-standard coun-
tries in the world, especially the
Orient.
This plan if carried into effect
would revO1utiOnize competition in
all gOld-Standard manufacturing
countries, with France a long way in
the lead, for it's sole purpose and
benefits would be entirely in the in
terests of the various manufacturing
and other industries of the French
Republic; and, if enacted into law,
would place the manufacturers, pro-
ducers and exporters of that country
in position where they could outbid
the manufacturers, producers and ex-
porters of all other gold-standard ma
tons.
French statesmen admit the plan
is somewhat unique under present
conditions, at the same time they de-
clare that it is not only feasible, but
practicable, and would build up and
stimulate the manufacturing indus
tries Of their own country to a great
er extent than any other plan that
could be devised.
The proposition as outlined by a
prominent French statesman is as fol-
lows: That whenever any manufac-
turer, producer or exporter residing
in France, shall sell and export any
article manufactured or produced in
the French Republic to a buyer or
consumer in any silver-standard
country only; the manufacturer. pro-
Queer or exporter so doing shall be
permitted to take any silver that he
may accept in payment for such goods
to the French mint, and have the
same coined into legal tender money
of the French Republic at their pres
ent ratio of fifteen and one-half to
one, at nominal cost merely enough
to pay for for government inspection
to prevent frauds.
It is claimed that this plan
would enable the French manufac-
turers and exporters to offer far bet
ter Inducements for the trade of all
silVer-standard countries than they
or any other nation can now offer,
because under this plan they could
convert any silver they received in
payment for French manufactured
goods or products into legal tender
money at a ratio of fifteen and one
half to one, at nominal cost.
1t is argued that under the present
system of coinage, the French gov
eminent does purchase each year
several million dollars worth of sill
yer in the open market which is coin
ed by the government into legal ten
der money at their present ratio of
fifteen and one-half to one at con-
siderable profit to the government
But they declare it will be far better
