Tnr question of abolishinr The court

The question Of abolishing the courts
at Water Valley, Yalobusha county, oc.
cupied nearly all Of the day yesterday.
Dir. Moore, of Yalobusha, championed
the bill, and Mr.. Rogers, Aoater from
Yalobusha and Calhoun, opposed its
passage. Very creditable speeches were
made by these gentleman respectively
Judge Watson, Mr.. Rowan and Mr.. vii.
Hanson also made speeches against the
bill. The discussion was carried on
with courtesy on both sides con-
sidering that good deal Of
feeling was manifested by outsiders
who were here, Of which some of the
members partook. The bill was indeR.
nitely postponed by a vote Of So to 50.
1t is to be hoped that this vexed ques.
ton Will be considered as settled, and
tne effects anticipated by some, Of a
breach among friends, may be averted.
The discussion ELECTED all the main facts
and beat arguments on both sides. and
the vote of the House was the result Of
4 patient hearing

State Female College.

While TsE CLARION has q decided
leaning toward the establishment Of
State Female College, as demanded by
the women Of the State, and the great
mas Of taxpayer" as represented by
the State Grange, and endorsed by Gov
ernor Lowry In his message, its columns
are open 10 both sides Of this and every
other public question. We find the
following in the Kosciusko Star, which
Complementary sums up the views Of
those who object to the enterprise. We
commend these objections to the tender
criticism OF "a Mississippi Woman"
The chief demands comes from those
who are amply able 70 educate their
daughters without aid from the State. But
the great mass Of the taxpayers do not
yearn for II with any appreciable yearning
We oppose II because We believe in 30
doing, the State would step beyond her
legitimate and constitutional sphere In the
cause OF education. Her work IL among
the body Of her citizens, and her proper
sphere IL TO give primary edueation 20
the thousands sho are unable 70 help theEn-
selves. -

burIesque on AH slsaFdity, to talk Of TAX
ing 100000 70 build and equip school
that will benefit ono hundred citizens.
Such an Institution 10 not needed. No
State College could furnish more thorough
instruction than Is given by Or. John.
son, Of Brookhayen; DIR. Hillman, Of Gin
ton; Gen. Lowry Of Blue Mountain; Rev.
I. A. y. Adams, of Koscinsko; and num-
DER Of others scattered all over the State.
And these do their work free OF cost to the
State. Those who get the benefit pay for
IT, and no one else il taxed.
The history OF our University demon
strates that such schools do not reach the
poorer and middle classes.
We shall continue TO vigorously oppose
State Female College, because we are the
arm friend Of a thorough public school
system. We want no further depletion OF
an already impoverished treasury, in order
that few may indulge in the questionable
luxury Of boarding school plishments.
The University does average more than 100
patrons yearly, and yet every taxpayer as
sists In it's support. Mississippi is not
ready just yet to duplicate this costly luz
ury.
