The senate has set down ona|
wemolusion insiructing our represen- |
Saliives iz Congress to vote for the |
Blair bill. In thus setting down |
om this bill, we believe they have |
made 3 misiake. Wesee no particu- |
lar ebjectios to baving an appros
Pprimtion of the Goverament’s funds
for the benefi: of the illiteracy of
the South or <lsewbere in the Unit
ed Beates. Certainly, ifas a great.
many learned statesmen cluim, the
eueation of the uezro would bring |
about & very desirslle change as to |
the complexion of matters, more |
favorable than the prewent status
of things, we shou!! hail with joy |
any effort on part of the JGoverns |
ment to lift a very heavy burden |
from off the shoulders of the south- |
era people. llowever, the money |
appropriated,” unless distributed ‘
through the’proper channzl of state
officers, men who are acquainted |
with the ¢xact needs of this section, |
and would know where it would do
meet good, could be made a great
source of trouble to our section.
If we'are to be overrun by a lot of
Yankee schoolmarms, and another
set ot unprincipled carpet baggers,
to ill the heads of negroes with all
sorts of nonsense, we had best de—
cline anything to do with the mat
ter. Otherwise, if the amount is
made over directly to the state, we
can see no harm that may grow out
of it, but a vast deal of good and
a heavy weight off the south, pro
perly applied. .

There are a great many boys
this city and coupty; many good
boys and many that are not good.
The good boys ave among our best
blessings. The future prosperity
of our country depends, mainly,
on our good bays. These sre easily
kuown. These smaller ones are
quiet and not pert in?the presence
of men or women. Those who are
just entering into manhood are po
lite to each other, respectful to
men and acknowledge, by their
conduct, that they do not know
more than their fathers. No one
ever taw a good boy who was not
polite. 3
Bad boys wil! make big hangings
and build railroads while they
dragaball and chain. They are
‘also easilyknown. They do not re
spect their parents,and are impolite
to men, and delight to doa thous~
and thingsto annoy decent people
by their disgusting acts. Then
there are the large frying size—
Jjust big enough to begin to crow.
They have no respect for men, nor
senge enough to be polite to old
men or women. They sometimes
strut around an old one, that has
spurs, and get their heads pecked.
These kind think they are men,
and it takes a swipe or two from
a gaff to teach them some sense.
Most generally, however, contempt
will cure them, but it takes time.
These sort never dresmed of the
first principles of decency or pos '
liteness.
Everybody loves lively boys. l
They are always in a good humor.
They will do nothing to really an
noy their seniors, love to please |
their parents, always meet you
with a smile and never get overs
growi.
Boys are an important factor in
this country.

“The Laborer Is Worthy of His Hire. "
The following resolutions ap—|
peared in ‘last Saturday’s issue of |
our neighbor, the Journal. '
Resolved, That we recommend |
to the directors of the Alliance |
Warehouse the Dawson Journal to
do their advertising. |
Resolved furthermore, That we |
recommend to the County Alliance |
the Dawson Journal as our county !
organ ; and recommend every al.i- |
ancemen to subseribe to the Jours |
nal,adversely tothe DAwsoxy News. |
Help those who try to help lhem~l
selves.
E, C. Berry, Secretary. I
These resolutions would not re- |
ceive our notice were it not to ex- |
plain the cause of this action,whi. h |
Mr. Berry seems to have studious- l
ly avoided.
We have been told by pronis !
nent members of the alliance, who!
are our friends, that our offc nse!
is,we made a charge ot 1.00 for an |
- advertisement inseried in eur col-'
- unus in the interest of the alliavce |
. warehouse business, :
~ As the publication of a paper is
our means of living, all conserv-|
~ative and business-I’ke members of |
the aliiance, of which there are '
-maay, will readily recognize tl;e!
charge asalegitimate and just one, !
and will concede to us the right to |
mzke charges where we think Lusi- ;
vLess principles, and justice to mh-i
er parties engaged in the same |
business, demand it.
Our time, our work, our ink, our
paper are our stock in trade,and it
would be just as reasonable to ex
pect from the merchant a barrel
ot flour, free of charge, as to expect
us to Ledevote our time and money
, to work of eny kind without com
- pensation; and no more unreas
- ouvable world it be for us to!
expect from ke farmer a Lale of |
' bis cotton without charge. |
. The News has always been the |
| tarmer’s triend ever ready to aid !
| him ard lift its voice in his behalf,
' and we know that there are but
| few of them, if any, who will Le
iostraugod from us by these un
! reasonable and uncalled-for roso~l
lutions. We have assurances from |
E promiuent alliancemen that such is i
} not their sentiment and that they
! bave no sympathy with the nm\'c~‘
l ment, and look with disfavor upon ‘
it
!
In the future, as in the past, the
News will be published in the in
terest of its proprietor and of the
pecpleof the county end of the
city--the friend of the farmer, the
merchant and the mechanic alike.
We will continue, at the same
old stand, to publish the best pas
per in Terrell county, at $l.OO per
annum. Advertisers should read
and remer Ler the notice printed
in italic letters at the top of this
page, every word of which can Le
verified.
We solicit and expect the cons
tinued liberal patronage of the pubs
lie,and will always be found trying
to help ourself and our friends.

Ta Tell Glanders
Just now there is agood deal of
cxcitement in southwest Geor
gir about an epidemic of glanders
among the lhorses. Sporadie
cases have occurred in several plac
es and there is a good deal of
interest and apprehension in va
rious part.
To know how todistinguish glan
ders from others catarrhal discases
or distempers among horses is a
very important matter. Dr.Rid
ley Mayer, of Augusta, says a sim«
ple and effective way in which
to distinguish glanders from distera
per, inflnenza and other catarrahs
al diseases is to drop into a bucket
of water some ot the mucus or pUS‘
than in either disease can be found |
in the horse’s nostril. Tt it is glane |
ders the mucus will go straicht to
the bottom like lead,in which case
the proper thiag to do is to kill the
horse at once, as there is no cure.
If the mucus floats around awhile
on the water before sinkingit is
one of the lees serious types of dis
ease, and can be easily cured if
properly treated,
Trousaxps of northern pooplel
will Le hunting homes and invest- |
ments in the South the come|
ing winter. How some of thcm"
might be induced to come this‘l
way aud take a lock at ene of the |
best towns in Georgia is a matter |
worthy of the congideration of our |
citizens, !

Mr. Editor: As in every or‘m~;
- munity, o in ours, there are those
' among us who ean see uo good in ‘
anything except the alwmighty dols
E lar is the olject to Le galued, or
the smirky Chinese o be christian
ized. |
} By these, athletic cxercises and |
acrobustic sports are held in great
~contempt. and those who engage
in those sports are regarded wish a
sert of scorn. . |
But if we will disprssionately cons
sider the olject and the aim of
' such exercises, our miuds will cers
Atainly be freed from all censure
in regard to those manly plays, and
izstead of condemuing those who
engagein them, we will assist them
with our purses and cheer them
with our presence.
It i 3 a tact, that enfeebled
constitutions are unfitted, not
only for the more arduous
duties ot life, but are also
cgually unfitted for disscniinating
moral and intellectual truths.
Moral culture, relizious training,
mentaladvancenent, and social re
finement, those elements that adorn
society and give elegunce and .race
to mankind, cop be enjoved and
enployeC by those only who have
cood and strons physical constitu
tions. Exercize and traininz fur
vish the ouly means by which the
physical man is built up and pres
pared for undergoing b .rdships
and privations. |
The young men sround our
towns and belind our counters
have very little tine for recreation,
end unless they employ that time
upon the gymnasium, or in athletic
and acrobatic sports, they mneglect
their physical development, for
‘which they are held as n.uch res
sponsible as for moral culture or
mental training. In fact, unless
‘these sports are encoureged in a
‘short time the youth of our towns
vould dwart into sickly, sentimen
tal pigmies, unfit for the arduous
' duties of the storehouse and count
ing room. Those who come {resh
{rom the healchgiving and lifepro~
| ducing sports, with the glow of
Jheu}th upon their cheeks avd the
beam of pleasure in their eyes, are
- more wctive in the discharge cf dus
ty and much better qualified to fill,
\ with distinction, the positions of
iclorl&s, salesmen and accountants,
I than the sallow, swarthy youths
whose attenuated frames give un
'mistakableevidcnce of feebleness,
- DBesides this, we owe much to
posterity, and ouly those are fit
to become fathers and mothers who
icun transmit to their oflspring a
| bealthy, undiseased and well-de
veloped physical corstitution. Saul,
’ the first king of the Hebrews, was,
ie a great measure,chosen because of
his robust manhood.
David was skillful with the sling,
‘ond it was counted an honor to
him,
8o to excel in running,wrestling,
batting and catcliing is no mean
thing, and those who exercise in
such sporta for the purpose of im~
proving their health and for fur
nishing entertainment to others
should receive our commendation.
