Doesn't Think (he Public Plan
Works so Well For the Tax-Payers-Home
Teaching the
Best. ;".
"Blessed are they who expect little,
for they shall not be disappointed." It
seems impossible to elect a legislature
that will relieve the people from the over
burden of taxation, and hence it ia good
philsophy for ns to be reconciled to what
we cannot help. We old men are back
numbers and mast acquiesce in the mo
dern methods and let the procession
proceed. Bnt I shall die in the faith that
it i3 wrong in principle for us to pay for
the education ot children whose parents
are better off than we are or to pay pen
sion money to those who conld buy us
out at a sheriff's sale You see, my bre
thren, I wasent raised that way and I
am too old now t5 be raised over again.'
My private opinion is that some of these
gentlemen who speak so gushingly about
these poor, dear children who with out
stretched arms are pleading and begging
for education, are talking for buncombe
and want to be re elected or else they
havent got any property to be taxed and
don't care a darn what becomes of the
rest of us. My tax now is more than
one-tenth of my total income and I con
sider myself an injured pers n, for I
don't see how I can pay it, and some of
my nabcrsare in the fix. I have educated
our ten children and paid for it and got
no helD and now if the new principle is
right I want the state to refund. If my
part of the tax went to educate poor white
children only I . would say amen and
amen, but when I see it goin5 to educate
rich men's children and to educate ne
groes for the chaingang, I am disgusted
beyond measure. -
It fatigues my indignation to read the
gush ot those orators who profess to be
the guardian angels of the children of
the state. I can form a home syndicata
right uow in this town who will agree to
give a common school education to every
child in Cartersville whose parents
unable to pay the ordinary tution, The
Constitution is right in calling for a con
stitutional convention to reconsider the
qualification of voters and it should re
organize the school system and require
all who are able, both white and black,
to pay for the education of their children.
If the pensions are put upon the indig
ent basis, why not put the schooling?
I tell you, my brethren, this taxation
business has got to stop. Those who are
able to stand it. cannot realize what a
burden it is to those who are not. It is
the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Captain Neal said this morning that he
had paid his city taxes but could see no
propect of paying for the state and coun
ty; and I hear many others talking the
same way. There will be more levies
by the sheriff this year than were ever
known before, and many of us will be in
the fix of my old friend Fort, who said
he tried to sell his house and lot to some
body so as to pay his debts, but he
couldn't find a buyer, but one day the
sheriff came along and sold it just as
easy.
A great deal of this stuff about educa
tion and the dear children pleading for it
is sentimntalism. They are not plead
ing for it around here, but had rather
dodge it and stay at borne or- hunt per
simmons and walnuts or rabbits and
black haws or shoot sparrows and squir
rels. If the parents are any account and
love their children they will help to edu
cate them at home. I can say with truth
that I got more and better education from
my father and m ither than I ever did . at
school, for about all the teacher did was
to hear me recite.
I reckon these sentiments will shock
these paternalist who are so crazy about
the public schools and will be 'especially
horrible to the army of school teachers
for they are desperately in earnest, and
like Paul said to Timothy, "My son, I
magnify mine office." They are
making a bigger thing of our system of
public education than it deserves to be.
Public morals are of far more importance,
and Mr. ritetson, the statistician of Mas
sachusetts, ia his able report to the legis
lature, declares that the system has been
tried and found wanting; the moral train
ing is in the background and crime is
rapidly increasing; that public education
is but a frigid training is ia the mind,
while the heart is neglected and the pris
ons are filled to overflowing with con
victs, 70 per cent of whom have had a
liberal public school education.
-"As Judge Miller well said in a recent ar
ticle published in your columns, the av
erage parent turns his children over to
the public for an education and dismisses
them from his mind. It is no longer any
of his busiaess. Bat if the parent had
to pay for and had a voice in the selec
tion of teachers he would take more in -terest
in the education of his children.
But all this is preaching in vain. Thj
people are wedded to the system, and it
will have to run its coue. It is said to be
the policy in all enlightened countries.but
we read that in Prussia n) man is allowed
to teach who has not had at least oae
year's training in theological studies.
The standard of moral fitness in the
teacher is very high and the pupil is re
quired to give two year's service to the
state' after he has graduated. -
After all is said that can be said about
any system of educating the great part
and the go jd part must be d me by the
parent at home. The training of the
heart must go along with that of the mind.
I saw two boys fighdng on the street tbe
other day. It was a willing fight and they
had laidlheir schoolbooks carefully down
by the fence. Tiiey hai been down on
the ground some time bef ire I got to them
and my presence did not deter them. It
was a hard fight and tbe bottom boj final
ly got ut his knife, but at my earnest re
quest they separated, and went to their
homes. I wondered if there was no
books in their school that taught them it
was wrong to fight if "it their parents had
told them as some parents do 10 take no
n H or abuse from-aiybody. Bui. I
learned afterwards that these were rot
bad or vicious boys and were popular
with their school mates, and then I re
membered that I had a hard fight my
self when a schoolboy and my father
whipped me for it and my mother cried
about it, and when father went away I
comforted mother by telling her that I
licked him and made him holler. Pre
cept is good, but example is stonger, and
I was always proud that my father
whipped a bully who rode into his store
and cursed him.
Well, the children must all have a fair
start in schooling, and if they can't get
it in the old-fashioned way we old folks
must fall into line with tbe new, tax or
no tax. But I want the demagogues to
hush. They make me tired.

ROADS.
Remarkable Results f Some
Experiments Made Wllb lis
Use In Iowa.
St. Lousi Republic.
Major M. Meigs, a civil engineer
of Keokuk, Ia., made a short ad
dress at yesterday's session of the
Missouri" Good-Roads' Association,
which, in the opinion of many was
the most interesting part of the day's
work. He opened a new field of in
vestigation and proposed experiments
in securing good roads along a line
practically unknown outside of a
few localities in the .Last. It is his
opinion that the nse of crude oil may
prove a panacea for bad roads in lo
calities where road material is hard
to obtain. r
He said bis attention was first di
rected to nsirjg oil on the highways
by reading a newspaper clipping
from a Pennsylvania town. It seems
that a leaky oil-pipe near the town
in question was responsible for the
discovery. This pipe was near a
place in the road that was invariably
impassable during the season of
spring and fall rains. When the
tbe leak occurred in the pipe the
tent with oil, and very soon it wa3
noticed that the mud dried up aud
the surface of the earth became baid
and remained so. It appears that
so notorious was this piece of bad
road that the effect of the oil on it
became a matter of so much com
ment that presently the experiment
was repeated in other localities, and
with the same effect.
Major Meigs said ttrat he sent a
letter to tbe officials of the Standard
Oil Company and asked them to fur
nish him some crude oil for experi
mental purposes. They forwarded
a tank containing 130 barrels, with
their compliments and wishes for
success." Some eight barrels of this
oil have been used on a notoriously
muddy road near Keokuk with most
satisfactory results.
Major Meigs said that it was no
trouble anywhere to keep dry roads
in good condition at minimum ex
pense. Oil will prevent the earth
from becoming wet by forming a
waterproof crust. So far as he has
carried on experiments, a barrel of
crude oil is sufficient for a strip of
road 100 feet long and 12 feet wide.
The cost of the oil at the wells is
about 90 cents a barrel. No other
material, he said, is so cheap, and no
other will prove so effective. In
conclusion, he said that he would
eend oil free to all wishing to make
experiments if they would pay the
freight.
Major Meigs' speech caused a great
deal of comment.. To the delegates
it seemed to open an entirely new
field. Many questions were asked
him, all of which he answered as his
information warranted. He ex
plained the well-known theory that
oil and water will not mix, and,
made it apply to the question of
good roads'. The earth was porous
enough, he said, to retain the oil and
cause it to shed water, so that where
the oil took hold moisture became
compact.
It is maintained that no roads are
so good as dirt ones, when they are
dry, and none so cheap. In many
localities material for constructing
macadam or gravel roads must, be
brought long distances, and conse
quently is quite costly. But from
what Major Meigs said it was
thought possible that with the aid
of crude oil earth could be utilized
at a much less cost than macadam
an gravel, even when the latter was
near at hand.
Two Pointed Questions Answer
. ed.
What is the use ol making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you can not
get a better price for it?
Ans. As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate. "
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on the u and use only the
better one.

Sunday School Visitor.
The principal of a boys school was
speaking to the pupils about their future
life. He asked: "How ma-jy of yau
have decided what you will be wJnyou
become men?"
There was no reply. He then asked
that any boy there wha had selected his
future occupation should hold up his
hand. Out of the hundred ten boys did
bo. Ninety had no idea what they were
going to do in this world, for the
world or for themselves. He then
asked those who had given the matter
some thought, but were yet undecided,
to raise the hand. Fifteen hands went
up. Bevonty-fiye boys out of the hun
dred, between the ages of fourteen
twenty, had never thought about
future occupation. Considering
how could they expect to excel in
thing or to make a mark in the ' world?
Yet, doubtless, some of them, when men,
will complain that wealth and honor
are unevenly divided in this world.
The way to have honor, to become any
body of importance, to be a power among
men, is not.to envy another person, bnt
to fix thhe eyes upon that goal and work
for it, choosing early the path which leads
to that eminence.
No matter what profession or trade
you take up, you have to work harder
and under more difficulties at the outset
than further on. The boy who wants
to shirk this necessary drudgery is not
made of the stuff which conquers in
life.
Above all things, avoid being a "jack-of-all-trades.".
Some men have a genius
for so many things that they cannot give
enough attention to one thing to master
it. I know of a youth of nearly twenty
who can play and sing, mend a clock, a
music, box, an organ, invent little things,
make coffee, draw, and why, I hardly
know anything he cannot do, and the
consequence is, he is not doing anything.
Ii any one wants anything "fixed," he
is the one who fixes it, but his life is not
going to to be "fixed" In any direction.
In contrast to him is a companion of his
who has already served several years at
his trade, and will some day turn out a
first-class carpenter.
Mr. Hardin Norris, clerk of the drug
store of R. Shoemaker, Perry, 111., says:
"A man came into our store the other day
and said, 'I want a bottle of that stuff that
saves children's lives. I read in the News
about it. The children may get sick when
we can not get the doctor quick enough.
It's the medicine you sell for croup.' " He
alluded to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and bought a bottle before he left the
store. For sale by Jas. A. Hatdison.

The latest report from Raleigh makea
Bellamy's majority 5,839. The majority
against the Democrats in this district in
1896 was 5,006. So Bellamy's gain is 10,-
845. This is a wonderful change, and
places the 6th district far ahead of any
other in the State. It shows, too, the
power of organization of close, system
atic work, extending to every precinct, in
a political campaign.
An interesting feature of the result- in
this district is shown by a comparison of
the vote this year with that of 1396. In
the recent election the vote tor Dockery
(R epublican) exceeds that of Lickhart
(Democrat), in 1896 by 94, while the
vote for Bellamy (Democrat) exceeds
that cast for Martin (fusionist) in 1896 by
1,117. This establishes the fact that the
"bottom rail was on top" in 1896, when
some 5,000 white men voted with the Re
publicans; but that in 1893 the white
men came back to the Democratic party
because they found out that it was the
while man's party.

TO DtkLD A NEW FACE.
Tho Difficult Taak L'ndertnhen
by Two Brooklyn gorgeous.
New York Secial to Chicago Record,
The 8urgeoua connected with St.
Catherine's hospital, in the borough
of Brooklyn, have in prospect a
task which ia likely to attract world
wide attention. John Wafrenblast,
few days ago while carelessly
handling a shotgun, blew off the
front and left side of hid face. The
doctors are planning to build 'biro,
an artificial face by what is known
as plastic surgery. The work will
be iu charge of Dr. J. C. Kennedy,
visiting surgeon at the hospital, and
Dr. James b. Stavin, the bou3e sur
geon.
burgeon btavin said to-day: "The
first'step will be to" replace the nose
by one of rubber or celluloid. We
shall draw np the skin on either
side of the new nose so that it will
slightly over-lap the edges.
"Ihat cheekbone and the bone
over the eye will be replaced by
plates of silver or planitnm. Ve
hope to be able to use the old roof
of the mouth withont any plates and
to save tbe teeth. Vhen once we
get the nose and plate in place and
the process of healing has advanced
we will begin grafting skin on the
bare surface. This sKin we will
take from the mau's thighs. It will
require a long time and much pa
tience on the part of the suffering
man, but we hope to make a respec
table job of him before we are
through. The last step will be to
replace the lost eye with one of
glass."

Sassafras Christians in Ken
tucky.
Madisonville Hustler.
We do not say it in away of fault-find
ing, neither as a slur upon any Church
or on Christianity, but there i3 no doubt
that we have in the world too many Sas
safras Christians. It may be that there
are those ho do not know what kind
ot a Christian a Sassafras Christian is.
We will explain: Every larmer who
uses wood well knows that when a lot
of sassafras pieces of wood are put to
gether and fire set to them that the wood
will blaze, pop and make such a noise
that it would seem that the world was on
fire. But separate the pieces and in less
than five minutes the fire ha3 g)ne out,
the crackling has ceased and the whole
thing is as cool as it no blaze had ever
existed. Many professed Christians Are
the same way. When they are together
in a protracted effort they are warm,
they get hot, they make a noise, and to
the looker-on one would suppose that
there was enough religion on hand to
fire the world; but as soon as the mem
bers separate, like the sassafras chunk,
they cease to burn or blaze. Such pople
are Sassafras Christians.

Senator Money, of Mississippi, who has
giyen the negro problem considerable
thought, talked interestingly yesterday
about the situation in his State. "We
have had no trouble with the negro for
years," he said, "and in fact there is no
reason why there should be. It is gen
erally understo d ihat the white men
will control ' the State and municipal
governments, and I know that the per
sonnel of our colored univers'ty, an in
stitution largely supported by the Dem
ocratic Legislature, votes the Democratic
ticket."
"Does the educational test result in the
disfranchising of the negro?"
"In very slight degree. The voter has
to read or understand a clause of the
folate constitution, aud vpry frequently
the judge of election helps out the voters,
both white and colored. A more strin
gent barrier is the requirement that every
wuuld-be voter who is challenged shall
produce his tax receipts for two years
prior to the election. There can be no
evasion of this provision. Either he has
the receipts or he has not; and if he can
not produce them he cannot vote."

Rev. Sam P. Jones tells this good
one:
"I know a man who used to cuss
all the time. He would go home
and cuss everything and everybody.
One day he went home and dinner
wasn't ready.
"'Ain't that damned dinner ready
yet?' he roared at his wife.
"Poor woman m.irtyr, too; she
went oublnto the kitcbiu ank soon
returned.
"'No, the damued dinner ain't
ready,' she said. 'The fire's gone to
hell ami damnation is to pay.'
"The man was dumfonnded, but
it cured him, and he ain't cussed a
cuss since."
Try it, ladies. It may break
yonrold man from cussing.

Some Objects f Legislation.
Elder Gold in "Wilson Times.
The Legislature recently 'selected
in "North Carolina should aim to en
act laws so needful, reasonable and
good that all lovers of law and order
would delight to obey them, and
such as are not incliued to obey them,
should be taught to do so, or receive
the jast penalties of disobedience.
The lawless class of our people need
special attention. If they will not
obey the laws then let them be rig
idly puuished. There has been too
much pardoning of criminals in this
State. When one is convicted it is
too common for officers of law, in-,
eluding judge and jury, to sign peti
tions for his pardon. If he is not
guilty do not convict him. If he ia
guilty, fail not to punish him. Fear
of punishment is the only terror to
evil doers. Good men, though, will
obey the law because they love order,
peace and justice.
Abolish all unnecessary offices.
Cut down officials, salaries and fees
so that our taxes may be reduced.
Tbe people think it very grievous to
pay high taxes when their labor is
so poorly paid, in order to pay large
salaries to office-holders.
Avoid all unnecessary appropria
tions of the State's money.
Prove yonr capacity for legislation
by enacting such laws only as will
commend themselves to all parties.
Threw His Hire and Child Ou
of a Window.
Philadelphia Record.
To save their lives from fire Mau
irce Tropp threw his wife and his
eight-days-old child out of the third
story front window of his ume, 504
Jeffernsou street, early yesterday
morning. He then jumped out after
them. A shout from Tropp at the
window on the top floor attracted the
attention of those below. Then they
saw the man, with the child in his
arms, lean far out of the window
and drop his living burden. It land
ed directly on a f either bed. Two
or three men rushed forward and
picked it up unharmed. They then
understood Mr. Troop's scheme and
stood by to assist his wife when she
fell. She likewise was unhurt. As
soon as she was helped away Tropp
climbed out of the window, and,
hanging by his hands from the sill,
let himself drop, lauding upon his
feet on the bed. When picked up
he was unconscious. Thus ended
the bravest fight for. life against fire
ever recorded in this city.
