Ns-Since last November fully one thousand
negroes have left Laurens county, South Carolina,
for Arkansas. They have BEEN induced to do
this through the persuasion of railroad agents,
who paint the advantages of Arkansas in glowing
colors. The South Carolina planters are very
much incommOded by this departure of their
laborers and have been cunning for the agents to
sucp extent that they are rapidly leaving the
neighborhood.

9th District Trustee Has His Say
Eds. Union In your issue of April 1lth the
following item appeared: cit is rumored that
teacher in the 9th district has been warned by his
trustees that if he gives favorable expression to
increased taxation for the public schools his res
ignation will be required of him."
Now that you have given publicity to this ru-
NOR we think that in order to do justice to the
trustees of this district you should give the
whence it came so that if it be false the trustees
affected by it may not be stabbed in the dark but
given an opportunity to vindicate themselves;
and if it be true, that the public may know who
they are and not condemn the innocent instead
of the guilty.
Although majority of the taxpayers of this
district may oppose an increase of taxation for
schools, or for any other purpose whatever, we
still believe that they not so blind as to deny
any person the right which the laws of the State
give him-the right to freely express his opinion
on any public question, or to threaten to deprive
him of his position because he chooses to exercise
that right. If there such men in the 9th dis
trict-or in any other district-the public should
know who they are, because they are not proper
persons to fill the office of trustee, or any other
Office. TRUSTEE.
rive heard the rumor from a reliable source,
but we are unable to name the teacher who is said
to have received the warning alluded to.-EDs.

Is it Petroleum 9-The Belair 1Egis of last
week says: "a few days ago as Mr.. Lawrence
Forwood and several other young men sat Oh a
fence and smoked, on the road side near Deer
Creek bridge, on the Sandy Hook and Dublin
road, they observed that little stream of water
which ran down the middle of the road, proceed
ing from a spring, had a greasy appearance.
They investigated the phenomenon, and discover
ed substance resembling coal oil floating on the
surface of the water. They skinned off small
quantity, and found that it ignited as readily as
coal OIL Their curiosity then became excited and
tracing the stream up the road they found the I'M
known substance oozing from spot near the
middle of the road, opposite the farm of Mr..
Robert Forwood, between Deer Creek Bridge and
Mr.. Josiah P. Lees residence. A bottle full of it
was collected without difficulty and it is said to
smell, taste and burn like petroleum. careful
examination will be made. If Mr.. Forwood and
his friends have indeed struck OIL their discovery
may prove to be blessing to the county"

well-esrned rest, rest, rest, and springing from
its tomb, the ice-cream joke will boom in new
and handsome garments gayly dressed, dressed,

8. The picnic sandwich, too, existence will
renew, and jokers on its makeup will descant,
cant, cant, cant, declaring it is made of neither
ham nor bread, but from the hardest kind of
adamant, mant, mant, mant.

The following resolutions were adopted at a
meeting of the citizens of the 4th district, held
Thursday evening, April 9th
WHEREAS, 1t has been publicly stated that an
Indebtedness of some $50 600 exists against the
county account of our public schools, and which
Indebtedness has been created by the Board of
School Commissioners during the past two or more
years and
WHEREAS, 1t has been also stated that unless
the amount to discharge such Indebtedness is
raised by taxation, through the coming levy of
closed during the summer session, in order that
the amount may be saved therefore be it
Resolved, By the citizens of the 4th district in
meeting assembled, that we do most respectfully
but earnestly and sOlemnly protest against the
closing of our schools for any such purpose as
above stated that the taxpayers are willing that
the levy of 1885 shall provide sufficient funds not
only to pay the above Indebtedness of $50, 000 but
to continue the schools in such degree Of eicien
cy as will insure to children, who choose to
avail themselves of them, good, practical English
education.
RESOLVED, That whilst we, as taxpayers and
citizens, thus willing to pay off our honest OBJ
legations and BESIDES continue the schools in their
efficiency from year to year, yet utterly OPP
posed to the involving of the county in debt con-
trary to law; the principle of borrowing money
in anticipation of future levy is dangerous one
and ought not to be allowed; no public officer, be
he elected or appointed, has any right to involve
the people in debt without authority of law.
ResoiUed, That copy of these resolutions be
signed by the officers and transmitted to the Com
missoners of Baltimore county, the Judges of the
County Court and the School Commissioners of
the county. F. A. CHICK, President.

system. The meeting was opened by Rev. DR..

and Mr.. Wm Nagle, secretary. The object of the

Silgle, Henry Reich, DR.. Ebeling, Charles Hand
and j. Freund was appointed to draft into resolu-
tions the sentiments of the meeting. The commit
tee reported the following preamble and resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has been brought to our notice by
the annual report of the Board of School Commits
sioners of Baltimore county that there exists de-
felt in the school funds, brought about by an
average annual increase of about 300 pupils for
the last sixteen years, causing naturally an in
crease in the number of teachers, schools and in
cidental expenses;
WHEREAS, The levy for the schools has not been
increased for the last six years. except Last year,
Notwithstanding the necessary increased expendi-
lures of the schools;
WHEREAS, The proper and efficient education
of our younger generation is most essential to the
maintenance of our free institutions and the
progress and prosperity of our country therefore
ResoiUed, That we object to our children or
teachers paying this deficiency in the school funds
in the way of closing the schools or reducing
teachers salaries, either of which would be detri-
mental to any efficient school system.
Resolued, That, though we believe in economy
in the distribution of the county taxes, we do not
believe that the schools should suffer under such
pretense.
RESOLVED, That we without hesitation are will
ing to submit to an increased taxation to meet the
deficiency in the accounts of the School Board,
and at the same time hold intact the present good
public school system.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be
furnished the Boards of County and School Com
missioners and the press for publication.

rather than close the schools decrease the teach
ers salaries; be it also
Resolved, That as the accommodations for this
district are entirely inadequate for the increasing
demands made of the present school facilities that
we deem a new school house an imperative neces-
sity just it is in the power of the School
Commissioners to grant US one.
On motion a copy of the resolutions was ordered
to be sent to the School Commissioners and to the
county press.
