The Attorney General says there were
10 convictions in North Carolina that
year, and that the report from which l
read showed it. When he sent that tele-
gram he knew as wall as he knew any
thing-for 1t is apparent he had read my
speech-that what ] spoke Of were Ku
Ntux~ convictions. And yet he has the
impudsnee to charge me with beinggui1ty
Of safbhng his report, and of . trick un-
worthy Of . Senator, because / referred to
1hieh he had referred in his report as
seI1e fpolozy for so vast an expenditure
Of Meney. There were, a. appears by
hat report, Isl convictions in North Car
DINA in that year; but 150o of them were
for violations Of the internal Revenue
Laws and had nothing to do with the
subject Of which ] was speaking at Wa.
very, thD Kn Klux Law. The Attorney
General uoxt says: 1.-THE expenses in.
FlOfida ara not larger than in many OF the
.othsrS tates 2sI- should think they ought

do has less population than any other
State IN the Union except Delaware and
Nevada, and iess business by far than e-
Their Delaware o. Nevada; and yet the ex-
penses in Florida were over $4,000, in
Delaware. 1928 rs; and ineNevada but
$695 so. and as I said before, and here Is
the proof Of If, not one single conviction
10 reported IN Florida. Indeed, no report
from that State appears to have been made
at al; ht least none is gwen. The Attor-
ney-GenerRl finally concludes as follows I:
"There is not = shade, of truth in Senator
Thurman's intimaticn that the public
money was finished by me for party pur-
posesln the PRESIDENTIAL campaign
did not say that the Attorney General
had fnTnished the money for political pur-
poses. but did say that IN my belief no

purposes. It was the easiest thing in the

mesa fees to summon men, who knew
nothing, or Whose testimony was worth
nothing, and, under the guise Of paying
them fees - witnesses, bny their votes,

MARK HIM

In the State Teachers Convention al
Nashville last Thursday, a Professor 81
made the following remarkable speech.
We hope there are few of this sort of Fro
fessors in Tennessee:
Prof. Randall, of Mckenzie, opposed tax
alton and public schools, because they
broke down and ruined private schools.
He knew of several good private schools
which hal been broken up by public
schools. He thought, too that the system
was open to the objection that the rich
must be taxed to educate the poor. of al!
taxes, the most unjust is the public school
tax. 1t says to the rich, you must pay
this tax or we will send the sheriff. The
idea of taxation for schools implies the idea
of compulsory education. Must we have
that? No, sirs

OUR MONEY FOR SCHOOLS.

In the recent meeting of the teachers OF
the State, an address was delivered by MI.
John Frizzell, showing the resources OF
our State for school money. 1t IS clear,
concise statement of where our money
must come from for the establishment OF
schools, and it is worth preserving and
studying:
The Code in 1915 fixed the school fund
at 81, SOC, 600. The Constitutional Conyen-
ton of 1870 found the fund in this condi-
ton. At this time the body of the fund
had been squandered, yet the COnstitu-
tional Convention re-enacted the provision
of the old Constitution in regard to the
school fund.
The convention of 1870 thus established
the school fund as at least 81 5000
Other funds may be added. The interest
of this fund shall be inviolably apprOpri-
ated for common schools. This fund must
be appropriated without conditions accord
ing to the scholastic population. The poll
taxes may be appropriated in the coun-
ties where collected. The obligation rests
upon the State to appropriate this interest.
This interest has not been paid since
1860, and, therefore, must amount to about
81 100, 800. Can this be paid? 1t can not,
but let this interest be added to the perma-
nent fund, making it amount to about
100000.
If fixed by legislative enactment, it can
never be changed. We have another
school fund. The United States granted
to this State of Tennessee 6i0 acres, in each
six miles square, for school purposes:
These lands were directed to be sold, and
the proceeds invested in the Bank Of Ten
nessee. The interest of this fund was to
be paid to the school fund. The proceeds
of these lands amounted to more than
$3.50 900, and now amounts to S667, 1876. We
have thus two school funds, one to the
State, the other to the townships where
the lands were sold.
Should we pay the interests on this fund?
The Constitution of 1870 declares that this
fund shall remain inviolable. The annual
interest on both funds amounts to $780,
600. Shall this be paid? Can it be? Will
the Legislature pass law providing for
this fund, the next Legislature may repeal
it. How can the legislators sustain them
selves at home? By making this fund
sacred obligation. How can this money
on the dollar, and by privilege taxes, we
have S341 900. This should be the State
fund, to meet the interest of the school
fund, and should be divided, without con-
ditions, throughout the State pro rata.
How shall we raise an addition sum? Some
say by permitting ts,c-eounties to levy tax
es for themselves. But let the Legislature
levy an additional tax of one mill, to be eX-
pended in the county where raised. This
would raise another SS4l ,0OO Now let a
poll tax be appropriated i'll the county
where levied, and we have tax of 5000. 900
more, or in all SSS6,000. What will this
fund do for us?
The scholastic population, 100000, of
whom So per cent. will be in attendance,
or 10000 pupils in the schools. The cost
per scholar will be 81 per month or $l4O,-
900 per month. The fund viii allow

THE TEACHERS coNvENTIoN.


The teachers of the State held a Con-
vention at Nashville, which, though not
numerously attended, was evidently an
earnest body that accomplished good.
Among the practical measures adopted
was one expressing, as the sense OF the
convention, that it is eXpedient that the
school fund of the State, together with its
accumulated interest, should De funded
along with all the other debts and iiabili-
ties of the State, interest to be paid semi
annually, and separate account to be kept,
and the proceeds annually paid out to the
different counties according to scholastic
population"
1t was also decided to memorabilia the
Legislature /" in favor of system of pub
tic free schools, with the following author
tiles with it, to-wit: a State Board OF
Education, State superintendent, q
County Board of Education and District
School Commissioners, with the usual
power granted to such authorities"
Also to levy State poll tax Of one dol
lar on persons subject to such tax. 1t was
further resolved to ask the Legislature tt
grant to Chancery Courts the power
to incorporate civil districts as towns
so as to enable them TO levy
a school tax for district schools, and fo
the purpose of building school houses. l
was also decided to ask the legislature t.
levy a tax equal to the interest on tn
school fund of the State, to be expended
for school purposes in the counties wher
the tax was collected.

schools for six months in the year. We
may talk about systems but we must have
money. In regard to systems we must har-
monte State and county ideas SO that there
shall be State and local supervision, and
State and tocal SUPERVISION shall be COM
bined. Mr.. Frizzel's speech was more like
a lawyers brief, but was listened to with
the deepest attention.

THE TREMpEALEAU VALLEY.-One
of the speciaisies of the Aduocate has
always been the posting Of its readers
upon the new counties becoming con-
nected. by trade channels, with the
Green Bay region. 1t is our object to
introduce to each other the people who
are to be connected by commercial and
neighborhood ties through the medium
of new railroads or water channels, and
to show them the advantage of this new
outlet for trade. We have within a
week or two past devoted attention to
the smart towns along the line of the
Milwaukee & Northern Railway; and
now, in another column, will be found
the result of a pioneering trip beyond
Mcmillan through the Trempealeau val
ley, towards our new neighbor Winona-
The representative of this paper is thus
employed pioneering the way in that d.
rection in advance of the building OF
the Lake Pepin Railway, which is SO
soon to connect the waters of the great
river with those of the Lakes. 1t is to
be the contamination Of a long-talked
of project for the shortest and best
route between MINI. Iowa and the East.
We invite our new neighbors in that

quainted with our business men, and
verify the fact that the facilities for do
ing business by this route cannot be
surpassed. Green Bay Aduocate.

Matt. Carpenter has recently been
the subject of most vile traducings by
some of the most prominent papers in

Until such time as they shall have been

part Of the duty of every public journal

to speak dispationately, allowing no
party bias to govern the expression Of

The recent attacks by the N. Y
Tribune upon Matt. Carpenter, are
most dastardly and are actuated by a
venomous desire to injure the man who
did not see fit to truckle to the wants
Of his ibelous calumniator year or
so ago in Washington. The charges
are that Mr. Carpenter sought rooms at
one of the Long Branch Hotels in COM
pany with a harlot, and was refused,
whereupon he sought, and succeeded in
procuring rooms at another hotel. The
facts are. that Mr. Carpenter, with a
party of friends about visiting Long
Branch, was intrusted with a niece of
J. W. Forney, an invalid, and that he
endeavored to get Accommodations at one
of the hotels for his ward, but as the
hotel was full he was unable so to do.
The proprietor regretting his inability
to accommodate the lady went in person
with Mr.. c. and succeeded in getting
rooms elsewhere; hence all the hulabub-
uloo. We presume that Mr.. Carpen-
ter has been at some time of his life a
naughty man, as most of our great men
have been, and for past or present de-
linquencies we have no excuse to offerin
his behalf 1t is evident, that this is
a personal attack actuated only by envy
and hatred, and the calumniator is not
satisfied in attacking Mr.. c. alone, but
willingly and premeditatedly stabs the
fair reputation of an excellent woman
that he may bring disrepute upon one
whom he would injure to satisfy his
malignant spleen. The N. Y. Tribune,
in clinging to the foul lie becomes an
accessory, and thus most shamefully be-
Titles its past greatness.
