TtlAT GEORGIA Some days go the charge was made in certain quarters, of course for the sin ister purpose of discrediting our Cor poration Comimsfaju, Democratic Gov ernor and Legislatnrev that the authori ties of GeoTgla had increased the as sessment of the Southern Railway prop erties in that State more than three millions of dollars, and comparing that assessment with the assessment of the property of the same corporation in this State, which was said to be only or about $10.(HX) per mile, mentioning the line cf the Southern -from Pelham to the South Carolina line," thus implying that that line was only assessed at $10.VN) por mile. Knowing the animus of this charg-3 and its parj'ose to make a f.!se impression on the people. The To.! gave the figures from the reports of our State Commission showing that this line. frfm Pelhara to Greensboro, was assessed by' -our State authorities at more than $27,0X per mile and the whole road -from Goldsboro to Char lotte, which embraces 03 "miles from Greensboro to Charlotte and including the litrle three-mile branch line to the Ca- raleizh Mills near this city, was assessed at $20,000 per mile. In Georgia, the portion, and the raluable portion of the Southern property the Atlanta, and Charlotte Ah Line a part of that which was chosen for Illustration in this State- was assed at only $1-1.000 per mile. The Cotr.nrroller General, the State of ficer having such matter in charge, did increase this more than $3,000,000. but the laws of the State rerrait an appeal from the assessment of this oQcer to a board of arbitrators, whose judgment is Seal, of which the State selects oae, the railroad making the appeal selects the other, and the third to be a member of the State Corporation Commission. An appeal was made by the Southern from the assessment by the Comptroller Gen vral, nd the arbitration board, com posed" of Judge Atkinson of the State Railroad Commission, Messrs. Howard Thompson and J. J. -Strickland chosen by the State and the Southern respective ly, he.iTd argument at considerable length and in detail oa part of the State and by Cel.

The result was, unanimously reached by the arbitrators, to increase the assessment on this line from $14,000 to Si0,OtJO per mile aggregating some $:'.0M0 increase Tather than the more Th Post ha intruded some figures ar.djthaa thrte million increase put on by facts, tiken tmra. the records, upon tho attention of the Senator during tie past few days. 4ut Judze Wo mack, la Lis speech at Smith Sold yester day, was imp!y mercileis tn his ex posure of the gro errors, of statement and figures cf the Greensboro speech end platform of the "Republicans. Not only tv- public in central, hut the tax payer lr partlcu'lir, will road the state- the Comptroller. Colonel Miller was complimented both on the result and di rectly by, the Comptroller General him self and the arbitrators for his argu ment an-V the full and frank exhibit of every detail of the property and its r-vurce$, and this final ruliin wee ac cepted as just and equitable by the of ficers of the State and people thereof concerned. While our State Commission has s- eity ior an euucaiion or Tueir onsyuug. They have "got along" so far them selves, and have at least acted upon the principle that those who come after can get along likewise. They are sadly mistaken in this view, and it should be as i: ie the object of all interested Jn the betterment of the people as a. whole to impress upon all the greater burdens which ignorance now impose contraeted with past conditions and the greater importance education becomes in the daily life of each individual to meet the exigencies which wait upon all humanity under the changed and changing conditions. The Caucasian is right in dts state ment that "it is be';ter school attend ance rather than a large increase in school funds' that present conditions demand, but its fling at the Governor and what it styles "the so-called cam paign of education" ie very unbecoming and unwarranted' by the facts and the earnest efforts of those engaged in the work. Thia "o-called campaign of educa ttf.n" carries to the people immediately concerned the fact that the Dem ocratic party has established and intends to maintain in every school district In the State a good school for not less and in many counties even more than four months during each year, and the further im portant admonition that 'e public hav ing performed its duty the responsibil ity now rests upon the people to do their duty no: only by their own chil dren, but to themselves,' their country tiid their God.

It was TYry artful on the part of our Reprrblltttn-friDde to charge agalr.st the Desnocratle ailmlnls ration and legtsla- operating expenses. Jess than ?ilM)0i per mile, they have arsrssed every mile of the main lines from $10,0X to $27,X)0 per mile. Arid yet vigorous as well as vicious assaults have been made from time to time in a certain paper and by certain" demagogues r.pom the authori ties for their not taking the raiiroad3 ly the throat and riding all the pockots i as if our people wre vulgar footpads wh? purpose it is to hold up every railway acquiring the coal mines. He organized a coal and iron companv, vir tually the Reading, under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, and began to buy the largest coal mines, paying part cash and part stock. When he had secured the largest collieries he began process of sqneezmir. amounting to nctuai robbery. The small mine owners wore refused coal cars, lost their cus tomers, found their property valueless, and were glad to sell for a song to the Reading." This is interesting and instructive, though discovering a very reprehensible method of procedure toward monopoly. Bnt there is a very important omission from the statement of conditions, which existed at the time Mr. Gowan started upon his wild career. We are told that at that time the Tailroad company was earning 12 per cent, actually paying that amount to stockholders, and that the coal mines were "operated profitably." Now what would be very useful informa tion in connection with that statement woii'ld be the rates then charged by the railroad for passenger and freight ser vice, and how much per tou the coal , then cost the consumer. Also whether" tba miner received more or less then ! than now for digging and lifting 'the coal from the bowels of the earth. Of to send a list of names to furnish the state board. I did so. On my way to Raleigh to the meeting of the board I saw Mr. Freeman and" had a consulta tion with lifciv and found that the names I had sent'the senator were not on the list. My suspicions were at once aroused to the fact that the senator had never seen the list I fsent and that the same for some cause had been withheld from htm. A letter from him dated1 the 2th of August states that he did not see my list and confirms my suspicion that my first convictions as to the matter 'were correct, to wit: That the letter was in tentionally kept from him. Mr. Free man told me that the senator had told him that any changes necessary to be made could ibe made. With this in formation I put the name of Mr. Bark- ley on the list and had him appointed. I did not do this out of any disrespect or discourtesy fo,r Senator .IVitchard or to in any way injure the cause of re publicanism in Wilkes. It i very strange to me that Cwn gi1ctsman Blackburn and those who swing to his coat tail should 'be so dis turbed about Mr. Barkley's (being on the .board I am sure he has -the confidence of all go-d Republicans in -Wilkes.

C, Sept. 1, 1002. : Newspaper Growth (St. Louis Republic.) Weed, Bennett, Greely, Prentice and Raymond the grand "we" of the old school were in a small company when they virtually ruled public opinion. There were only 254 daily papers in existence In 1850. Today there are 2,226. In 1850 the combined circulation of the papers was 758,454, while in 1700 the circula tion of the 2,226 was 15,102,156. ' The aggregate number of copies issued dur ing the year 1850 was 426,409,978, while in 1900 it was 8,168,148,749. It must be admitted that this growth in circulation has followed a change in the BO-caled mission of the newspaper. A half cen tury ago no statesman teit secure unless he had the edltoral ' support of the -papers. The press did not then, as now, express and lead public opinion, but formed it. Today the highest calling' of the newspaper is to truthfully furnish the news. No daily can make editoTal expression the leading feature and sur vive. . Railroads, telegraph and cable have made communication so easy that the desire of the people for the last news has made the circulation of the better papers hrcrease by leaps and bounds. With the betterment of transportation facilities the weekly press has failed to keep peace with the daily. From 1880 to 1890 the increase in the daily was 25.9 per cent.; from 1890 to 1900 it was 30.2 per cent.; while the increase in weekly circulation dropped from 26.7 per cent, between 1880 and1890 to 14.7 per cent, in fche last decade. There was $192,443,708 invested in newspapers and periodicals iri 1900. They had 27,579 salaried employes, who received $27,015,791, and 94,604 wage earners, who received $50,333,051. Ma terial cost $50,214,904, and the money value of the products was $222,983,569. There is no way of computing the actual value of the . product in promoting ad vancement and isaving the cost of mis takes which ignorance makes at every turn. $ IE ABDBBVYATOBE COURT IHTPFE Dan Cupid shotte atte my sweteherte's herte, Butte shee dodged, and ye arrowe Mr. 8oe I rooke ayme atte hyr swete redde lippes And, in spye of hyr dodgeying, Kr.
