AMENDMENT ILLEGAL.
Judges Salaries May Not Be Raised
After All.

Augusta The county board of COM
missioners declined to pay the in
creased salary of the judge of the
superior court, basing it's action upon
the opinion of Salem butcher and w.
X. Miller to the effect that the con-
stitutional amendment recently adopt
ed was void and Illegal The matter
will be taken into the courts and in
the meantime the county treasurer is
ordered to pay out no money under
the amendment.
Both attorneys agree, arriving at
their conclusions in different terms,
that not only was the recently voted
amendment unconstitutional in so far
as it increased the salary of, the SUI
perior court judge, but also in that
section whereby the judges who had
received the additional $4,000 in years
past were freed from the obligation of
having to refund this money Both at
torneys agree that the amendment can
not be retroactive in this regard.

The court overruled Toole in his

A JOB FOR HOWARD.
Athens Banner Suggests state-at-Laree
Congressman.

Atnens.-The Athens Banner print
ed the following story:
William NJ Howard for congress
man from the state of Georgia at
large!
This is the suggestion which is be-
ing made by number of loyal friends
and admirers of the congressman from
the Eight district of Georgia.
There are conditions, provisos and
contingencies, however.
But at the same time the suggestion
which is being energetically and en-
enthusiastically made shows what in
esteem the congressman from this dis
trict is being held and what his worth
to the state, the party and the South
is when his services are reckoned.
This is census year. The figures OF
the population of Georgia have not
been announced. The increase is
known, however, to be considerable.
That it will be enough to entitle Geor-
gia to another congressman is belieV-
ed to be the case.
Provided that congress by enact
ment at its next session makes the
apportionment on the bases of the
present congress, it is possible that
even if the proportionate figures are
increased, as many believe that con-
gress will determine, Georgia would
still be entitled to a twelfth represen-
tive.
1t happened in Georgia in 1882, when
the census of 1880 gave Georgia it's
tenth congressman and the state was
not redistricted Immediately, and Hon.
Thomas Hardeman of Macon was
elected in general state election as
the tenth representative from Geor-
gia-a congressman from the state
at-large.
Close friends to Mr.. Howard state
that he is 10th to enter a race again,

Professor Stewart Finds Certain Sec.

Progress Internationally,

rFo9TSso EuuCdsIonally.
Athens. Prof. Joseph s. Stewart
has just returned from a trip. Of in
spection Of the nigh schools along the
road from Elberton to Toccoa. He re-
ports that no fifty miles of territory in
the state has possibly made as great
progress educationally in the last two
or three years as this. Elberton has
recently completed a $4,000 scnool
building, equipped with single adius-
tible desks, a $1,000 laboratory for
physics, telephones and electric
clocks and signals in every room, and
four teachers in the high school de-
partment They are planning for a
four years course next year, also for
domestic science
Bowman has opened this fall a new
graded school building costing about
$4,000 and Mercer-Gibson institute has
remodeled the academic building and
erected large brick dormitory for
the boarding students. The academy
has a four-year course of study.
Canon has a beautiful little brick
school house, which cost about $4,000.
It presents an attractive appearance
from the railroad. Some improve
ment is shown in the school.
Royston has large two-story brick
building. which has recently been very
much improved, while the curriculum
has been likewise improved.
Bowersville opened this fall beau
tiful two-story building, costing $lv,-
COO. A high school department mas
been added to the grades.
Hartwell has beautiful brick house
costing $4,000. The board is now
planning several improvements to the
curriculum and equipment. Up to
three years ago this town had only
private school. Now nearly $50
students are enrolled.
Hart county is also feeling the eff
feet Of the public school revival in
Hartwell, and a majority of the school
districts have voted school tax. The
whole county will probably be under
local tax by 1872
Lavonia voted local tax three
years ago and issued bonds to pur-
chase and enlarge the old private
school building. The attendance has
more than doubled and the school is
being rapidly improved. They have
just been given Carnegie library.
Martin has built a one-story brick
school house costing about $4,000
Toccoa has had a good brick build
ing for some time This is now over
crowded. The people voted last month
bonds to erect high school building.
They are offering four years course
and have authorized the purchase of
$500 worth of apparatus to be in by
the new year.
Every one of these towns is oper-
ating a local tax school and in each
the school house is the best building
ing the town with possibly the excep-
ton of the court house in Toccoa. The
people are proud of their schools and
school houses and are backing the
boards and teachers in making them
better.
This fifty-mile trip along the Savan
nah is alive to the value of education.
The people are prosperous and the in
creased training will make them more
prosperous, for the economic develop
ment is proportional to the length and
efficiency of the school life Of PEG.

"Since my advanced age I find that

irritated, and my physician said that
1t was catarrh caused by a protracted

that I would be helped, but found to
my relief that soon began to mend.
