CIsTERNs. We fear many of our
readers who have cisterns and depend
upon them for their supply of water
for family use, hardly realize the i'm
portance of keeping them sweet and
clean. Rain water as it comes down
from the clouds is probably as pure as
any water can be, but after it has
washed over a roof and down the con-
ductors into the cistern, carrying with
it dust, leaves and other rubbish that
may have gathered on the roof or in
the cutters, it is not strange that the
cistern should need to be cleaned out
every year or two. If the cistern is
not much used, the water is quite like
ly to become bad. 1t may look all
right, and not tase very badly either,
and yet not be healthful. OF course
all cistern water should be filtered,
and soft brick filter is perhaps the
best; but even then it will become
necessary to clean the cistern as often
as every two years, and better every
year.

A Legislator Explains the School Act

CRAB ORCHARD, June %, 1882.
Ediior Interior Journal.
/ see in the last two issues Of the INTER
TOR JOURNAL articles in regard to the tax
for school purposes. The original bill wa'
drawn for three cents under the impression
that il would require this sum raised by
said tax to equalize the white and colored
school fund. The Superintendent Of the
Public Institution appeared before the eau
cas-, and informed them that he had made
. calculation, and two cents would be sufli-
cient to raise the amount desired. On his
suggestion the bill was amended by order
ing three stricken out and inserting two
wherever three occurred in the bill. In
the haste Of legislation the three was only
stricken out in the original bill in the fret
section and overlooked in the remaining
sections. The House Journal shows that
the amendment striking out three and in
sorting two was carried. The only vote TO
be taken at the August election is, shall
two cent tax be voted in order to make
the colored school fund equal to the white
school fund?
Enclosed find an act amending school law
for colored childred passed February 23rd,
1874, which you can publish il you desire.
Yours truly, w. o. HANsFoRD.
The act is "a follows, and settles the mat
ter as to the repeal OF the extra capitation
tax on colored people:
1. Be Il sadetedb By the General Assembly Of the
Commonwealth Of Rentucky, That section two Of an
act to establish a uniform system Of common
schools for the colored children Of this Common
wealth, approved February %, 1874, be amended

follows "a eapitation tax of one dollar on each
male colored person above the age OF twenty-one
years." and the sherins Of the various counties
shall be credited in their settlements with the Au-
dtor by the amount Of such cspitation tax listed,
but not collected.

driven by John Farris, and Geo. ID. Wear
en-, the latter, driven by j. II, Hooker The
Wood was unfortunate ON its start, its
team running of and breaking a casting,
which at the time could not be replaced.
The contest lasted nearly all day and at lis
conclusion Mr.. John NJ. Reid chosen as
Judge on the part Of the Wood, and Mr..
Allen Beazley on the part OF the McCor-
mick, being unable TO agree, Mr.. q. A.
Laokey was selected by the two TO decide,
which he did in favor Of the Mccormick
and according 10 the agreement Of the
contest, Mr.. Jones purchased that ma
chine. The points in favor Of the McCor-
mick were decided to be that IL cut a
swath ak inches wider than Woods, that il
bound the sheayes with greater eyenness
at the butt and that its bull wheel was
broader and less liable to sink 10 the soft
earth.
