The school Tax.

Taxpayers should bear in mind that
a the approaching August election they
are 10 vote on the proposition to increase
the free school tax in the State two cents.
This increase is asked to equalire the
school pro rata between the white and
colored children without lessening the
present pro rata to the whites.
The Supreme Court has decided that
the school tax must be levied equally
and divided equally between the white
and blacks.
II the 2 cents increase is veted our
free schools will proceed as heretofore,
there being separate schools for the whites
and blacks.
1.-THE two cents iner ease is defeated
she result will be suspension Of all eur
free schools; or if taught whites and
blacks must be admitted alike. These
m liked schools would exist until the next
Legislature meets TO divide the preseni
money equally and provide for separate
schools.

With the Tennessee debt question, the

To the Tennesseans il abscrbs every 9TH

they we're not prepared 10 take the side
Of il which promised 10 pay best. Only
the Tennessee Democrats have been di-
vided and purposeless, exciting thems

seem out Of proportion 10 the character
and extent Of the dispute.

wneu Ben nn,ier prayed.

While Ben Butler was Q stident at COL
by University, il Is said that one dark
night he and congeniai companion felt
moved TO abstract the sign Of village
storekesper They fled with their prize
10 the college dormitory. sither they
were followed by the indigranl citizen,
attended by local con stable, who knock
ed loudly for admittance al the offenders
door. To burn the sign before an en-
trance to the room could be elected WAS
the only way the boys could escape the
consequences of their act, and to gain
time for this operation, tradition says
that Ben commenced TO pray both loud
and long-judging- and wisely, as the
issue proved-that their unwelcome
guests would not force an entrance TO
room whose occupants we're engaged
in their evening devotions. When the
cause OF his anxiety bad been wholly con-
sumsd, Ben brought this application TO
close in the following sminentsy suitable
| words, ooh Lord, we thank thss for de-
liverancs from wicked and perverse
ge neration, who go about seeking after a
sign, but no sign shall be given them
The constable and his companion were
then admitted. but IS they found nc
trace OF the stolen Fro perry, we're forced
to depart with their desires for ven
geance unappeased.
