A AppOrtiOnIncnt Of school
Revenues.

On the 18th. of July, State Su.
perintendent Jas. l.. Denton made
out the apportlonment of the school
fund for the various counties Of the
state. The amount aggregated the
sum of sl35, 76S,37 in state scrip,
and s37. .526,72 in U. S. Currency.
The total school population OF the
state is 255,2g6. Mississippi coun.
ty school population is reported at
1913, and entitled to Sl023,s0 IN
state scrip and S263 81 in currency;
the amount apportoned TO each
person between the ages OF 6 and
2l years being. scrip sO.57l; cur
ronoy, s0,l47.
1t is evident that while Mississip-
pi county is paying her share of
taxes, she is not getting the benefit
of all she is entitled to. Our pop
ulation, according to the late CEN
sus, is over 5000 and our school
population, those between the ages
OF 6 and q years, is reported by
county examiner at only 1913.
This may be correct, but from our
knowledge of our population we
had been led to believe that the per
centage between school years was
far IN excess of these figures in
fact, nearly double. Marion coun.
ty, for example, has population
OF less than 5000, and yet her
school population is reported at
a540, and is entitled to over $500.
There's a looscness among the Di.
rectors somewhere, and our Coun.
ty Examiner should ferret it out
and bring the delinquents to time;
four or five hundred dollars to the
county is worth looking after.

EDITOR OscEoLA TINES Dear Sir
i am favorably impressed with
the kindly feeling which seem to
be existing in this county and town
between the white and colored peo-
pie. / have been here two weeks,
held my conference on the 4th.
Saturday in July and on Sunday,
the congregation was well sprinkled
with some of the first white citizens
OF the place and one of their divines
prayed the opening prayer and as
sisted me in administering the sac
rament. | write this to let my
people, and the people abroad gem
orally, know that Arkansas, and
especially this part, is not what it
has been represented TO be. ] have
seen a good many places north of
Mason & Dixon's line that came
much nearer being a " hades " than
Arkansas. Respectfully.

Crop Prospects.

Maj. W. E. Moore, of this city,
returned yesterday from an extend
ed tour through portions of Phil
lips, Lee and Monroe counties, and
informs us that, after careful and
close observation, he is of the opin-
ion that the outlook is gloomy.
The corn crop in the three counties,
with but few exceptions, is virtual
ly ruined and, in the aggregate,
will not yield enongh to supply
the demands of the country until
February. AS to cotton Maj.
Moore says that on the uplands,
where the land Is poor and has
been badly cultivated, the crop is
lost, and the same can be SAID of
the poorly cultivated crops in the
bottoms. But few localities show
promising crops and there the area
is limited Here and there a plan
tatIon can be found whore the cot
ton and corn crops look well, but
they are few and far between
Rain would do but little, if any
good.
A correspondent writes as fol-
lows from Joncsboro, Ark, 10 the
Little Rock Democrat: al have
been through Clay, Green, Craig
head, Poinsott, and Cross counties
and find crops almost ruined for
want of rain. Even bottom lands
are suffering much. Some won't
make anything at all even 1t should
ram soon. Corn burnt up and cot
ton shedding ITS squares. People

True rs Steel.

A good deal Of character is sum-
med up in those three little words,
true as steel. You hear it said of Il
man, he is as true as steel. You at
once make up your mind that you
would like to number that man on
your list of friends. In an omcr-
gency you could depend upon him.
You could trust him behind your
back. He would never deceive and
never fail you.
1t has seemed to be becoming less
and less customary, OF late years,
for mon in any OF the relations Of
life 10 be true as steel. Conse
quently divorces have been grow.
ing more and more common, until
it became so that comparatively lit
tie was thought of any married
couples getting divorced.
FIduciary relations Of pccunia

were designed. Guardians and
trustees have waxcd rich by plum.
dering the estates of their wards
Presidents, Cashiers and Directors
have squandered the mouics OF their
deposltors Public officers have
combined together 10 convert their
Offices INTO dens of thieves.
In the course of time things had
become SO bad that men OF charac-
ter and men of means began to ask
in all seriousness, where is this go-
lug to endy And they said some
thing must be done to check it.
The prosecution of great offend
ers of this class was instituted. Con-
viction after conviction followed.
1t is really astonishing the number
of men in some Of the States, who
were once considered highly re-

A TRULY brave man is forbearlng,
not easily excited to anger, and
mindful Of the rights and feelings
Of others. A man that can be
thrown into convulsions of excite
ment by every rumor about himself,
by the criticisms of this, that and
the other person, and then rushes
of to the grocery to fortify himself
with Dutch courage, curses, storms,
and raves like a lunatic, to the great
terror of women and children who
may chance TO hear him IN the
midst of his phrenzy, is simply
blatant, clustering blatherskite, not
a brave man, and hardly man of
any kind. We have known a few
such men in our time, whose absurd
antics when attempting to fume,
hello, below, snort, cavort, bully,
rage and curse themselves into the
reputation of dangerous and daring
men has deceived people for a time,
but in the end they came to grief
and general contempt. The rcpu-
tation of being dangerous man, is
an undesirable reputation to have.
Men live the longest with repnta-
ton for peace and gentleness.
" Study to be quiet saith the good
book. Ponder on this text, you
who are gaining the reputation OF
bullics and braggarts, and try and
build up in the opposite direction.

There is no doubt but very large

very little, effort on the part OF
our people. 1t seems TO be taken

tages of climate, and accessible to
all the markets of the world, and
everything at hand necessary to
