Opinion of County Commissioner

NJ Editor IL see by the -Adcocdie that the
late communication of the School Board is
laid before the public which the taxpayers Of
the county eau read and are competent to
Judge for themselves. | will herein state that
did not know that change was coniem-
plated or to be made in the Board Of School
Commissioners The County Commissioners
signed y petition in favor OF Capt. Anderson
for Secretary and Treasurer. and then and
there the County Commissioners left the Who'll
matter to the care and keeping OF the School
Commissioners. They are an independent or
ganizalion created by law to sue aud be sued
and II they are so unfortunate as to have a
lawsuit why should sympathy be placed where
il does not belong. think the sympathy be
longs TO the taxpayers, In making the levy
for 1880 the County Commissioners found
themselves peculiarly situated and, actuated
by the desire to keep the rate of taxation be-
low dollar on the hundred, were under the
necessity of reducing nearly every levy that
could be- 10 cut closely all bills and to make
II levy for the school board short OF its needs,
hence the great complaint of the representa-.
lives OF the neglected children, who want to
know IL n live child is rs good as a dead
horse, which supposed must be as the Bible
says, ga live dog is better than II dead lion g
The county bonds being overdue al once con-
s"neu oNc' iout 'housauu uoilaTs mat might
have been appropriated to the schools
have no personal illusions 10 make, coniro-
yersy is not business, and now If the lawsuit
is over fix up the whole matter and let the
taxpayers know now much debt there is,
what for aud who it is owed 10, Mr.. School
Commissioners
The future outlook for the tax payers of our
county is not good at this time While we
as county are nearly out of debt there is a
high progressive spirit abroad and the great
danger is in spending more each year than
can be levied for that year. There is a call for
new Court House more land AZ the Aims
House, a school debt, the schools In be run
four terms and iire-proof vaults in Clerks and
Registers offices. The only safe way is not

How the School Funds are Spent.

Mr.. Editor IL do not propose 10 occupy
any portion OF your space in reference TO the
case Of Samuel Jones and James Anderson
VS.. The School Board more than TO remark
that the highest tribunal OF The State has
passed upon it and evidently lacked the mo raj
courage 10 meet the main questions involved
commend me even to men who seeing the
right have the courage to proclaim ID.
When that nil ,e ord fossil, Hon. ~ a.
b. Deus, who has been seeking notoriety all
his life, shall have grown tired of throwing
mud at Official professional and private gen
tlemen, all of whom are his peers in every
sense of the word, it would be well if he would
turn his attention 10 some of the public negro
schools OF the county, one of which will
particularize in the manner following: ! was
riding along the public road few days since
when | met bright mulatto boy, aud upon
enquiring learned that he was on his way to the
Snake Den school house, n colored school,
taught by coored man named Nelson -
Further inquiries developed that The teacher
was irregular in his attendance that he had
some fifty-6ve scholars and that most OF the
morning was taken up in prayer tue reading
of the Bible and the singing of hymns Now
as regards the having of prayer and the read
ing of the Bible have not n word 10 say, |
am firm believer in both, but do not think
it was ever anticipated that the moucg set
aside for educational purposes was to be spent
in teaching the negro population to sing
Instead of finding fault with professional gen
tlemen for the exercise OF 1t Legitimate righ md
misrepresenling officials whose guardiansh y
OF the public interest is sans puer Ct sans re-
proche; it wo Id he better that The super
cilious and superanualed President of tile
School Board would turn his attention in
seeing that the public schools are conducted
as anticipated by the law and in accordance
with the public demanded him keep out of
print and remain in that retirement 10 which
the public voice Of the county consigned
him in the most emphatic terms-"aie ct phi

Ga, by the fact that the body of a young
girl, the daughter of printer named Bird,
continued warm, though death apparently
occurred twelve days ago. The warmth of
the body was not discovered until just as
the funeral was starting. The physicians
were divided in opinion as to its being Il case
of suspended animation, and the interment
did not take place until decomposition had
commenced.

General Walker, superintendent of the
census, is now engaged in the final revision
Of the census report as to population, before
sending it to Congress, which he expects to
do during the present week. The figures
will not vary materially from those already
named, viz; 50,152,O0O. Regarding a pub
lished estimate of 100000, Gen. Walker
says he does not know where it originated,
and that it did not come from the census
office. The figures given show an increase
over the census of 1870 of 11,593,629 or a
trifle over 30 per cent, while the increase in
the preceding decade was but 7,115,05O, or
22s per cent. This large increase in the
present ratio is attributable TO several causes,
among them, the fact that the present census
has been far more carefully taken than ever
before

the Boston GLobe precpitates itself into the

That in 1880 there were 139 States in the

return, extended the boundaries of the Union
