AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Opinion Filed by the Supreme Court on the
Public School Funds
| Fro ;. Saturdays Nsws and Observer.

Fro ). Saturdays Ne,cs and Observer
An important school case was decid-
ed in the Supreme Court yesterday
The case was entiti cd Greensboro VS..
j. A. Hodgin and The county school
board of Guilford. 1t was decided
that the provision in the recent char
ter of the city Of Greensboro that re.
quires all State and Comfy tax to be
paid by the citizens of Greensboro to
be turned over by the ia collector TO
the city authorities for The benefit of
the children Of the city is anconstltu
t.onal. 1t is held that no school tax
levied under general statutes by the
general assembly or by the county
commissioners can be applied for the
benefit of any particular section or dis
tricL wherein the said taxes are paid !,
but that all such taxes must be appor-
toned to the different districts of the
county, as now provided by the gen
eral school law.
When it is desirable to supplement
this general State and county school
fund the legislature may pass special
acts, as it has done for many of the
cites of the State, authorizing spe-
cial vote to be taken for additional
taxes. In such cases the additional
money SO vo.ed can go to the benefit
Of those living in the territory in which
the vote was taken.
The theory of the organization of
the school system is fully discussed and
the principle of the distribution Of
both the State and county school
funds, It is held that the constitution
contemplates an equality of school IA
c,lisies for all the children in all the
counties of the State so far as this is
possible in the distribution of all the
taxes levied by the General Assembly
and all other moneys Of the State
school fund.

of this very celebrated preacher, re-
Gently delivered in Charlotte, N. c..
They abound in wit and hun.or, it is
true, but the wit is exceedingly coarse
and the humor often low and vulgar,
unbecoming a Christian minister in
any circle, and in my humble judg-
ment, gross and grievous dissertation
Of the pulpit. l grant that Mr.. Jones
has rare powers as an orator; that he of.
ten breaches the gospel with wonderful
pIainness and effect, and / hope that
he does good; but there can be no
question with all right thinking peo-
pie that he is degrading his sacred
calling and doing vast amount of
harm by using language which, in the

Removal of MOIes.

In recent number of the Prac-
titioner DR.. Jamison writes on the
use of Sodium Ethylate in remov-
ing hairy moles on the face. He
oderated in this way: The hair
was cut off as closely as possible
with very fine pair of scissors,
and the mole was then painted
over with Sodium Ethylate, fine
glass rod being used. When the
mole had a vanished look the
Ethylate was gently rubbed in with
the glass rod, to make it penetrate
more deeply into the hair follicles
The mole has quite black look
when the operation was over. a
hard crust formed over it, which
was nearly three weeks in becom-
ing detached. When it come off the
hair was seen to be destroyed, and
the surface of the mole had a
smooth, somewhat cira trical ap-
pearance, of Il much lighter color
than before; and this favorable con-
dition continued until the mark
was scarcely noticible.

than 1900 persons are financially
interested in the enterprise. The
tunnel will be five miles long and
4,400 feet below the top of Gray's
Peak. The Company enters the
year 1890 entirely free from float
ing debt, all its bills paid and work
going ahead day and night in both
ends of the Tunnel, and it's mineral
rights alone will be worth millions.
At the late election Pomeroy was

Another Railway Gnide.

John n. Wood is rather too
enterprising to confine himself to
to narrow limits of Michigan. For
"A number of years his Michigan
Railway Guide has been recogniz-
ed as an authority on railway
matters, and the large patronage
it receives show that its accuracy
and punctuality are appreciated.
A short time ago Mr.. Wood re-
signed a position on the Detroit,
Lansing & Northern in order to
give his attention to a new enter
prise which at that time he did not
care to speak about. The secret is
now out, however and it comes in
the form of Ohio Railway Guide,
much similar in its general appear
ance to its Michigan elder brother.
A glance at the new guide reveals
the same careful and thorough
work which characteri2es the
Michigan publication. The new
guide will be published monthly
and will contain all time tables

A Hint to Brother Blair.

Brother Blair in the course o.
his third outbreak against the
newspapers, on Friday said:
"Therc is demand for informa
tion which the press does not salts
fy," that information so pertina
ciously withheld from the public
by the wicked press being his $50,
900 word speech on his educational
bill.
That shows how little Brother
Blair knows of newspapers ard
their ways. Whatever the public
demand, the newspapers are eager
to furnish to the hest of their abil.
ity. Every real newspaper man in
the land is hustling to get what
ever information there is a public
demand for and get it out in ad-
vance of his rivals. If there had
been any interest in Brother Blair's
speech when in progress, beyond Il
curiosity as to the probability of
it's being carried over as "unfinish-
ed business" until the next session,
the newspapers would have met
the want. The fact that not II
newspaper in the country did more
than barely announce that "Mr.
Blair resumed his speech on the
educational bill" except when he
interjected a little life into the pro-
ceeding by stolding the reporters
for not using their pencils or the
senators for running away or go-
ing to sleep at their desks, should
convince Mr.. Blair that there was
no "demand for Information" which
his speech supplied.
The newspapers give the people
the information they desire. The
success of II newspaper is condi-
toned largely on the Judgment
and skill displayed in discussing
and promptly supplying the wants
of its community in the
matter of "information," which
is NIr. Blair's synonym for
news. Now there is no news at all
in the fact that Mr.. Blair is in
favor of his own bill to distribute
II large amount Of money among
the states for educational purposes.
There is no "information" of i'm
portance in his speech that has not
been given to the public at one
time or another in previous de-
bates on the measure. The papers
discussed the scheme until the ppO-
pie had all they wanted of it and
now are waiting for something to
be done, either the passage or de-
fead of the bill. Whatever they
may think of his bill they are ut
turly weary Of Mr.. Blair and his
long winded eloquence in its sup.
port.
If the senator from New Hamp-
shire is hungering for more con-
spicious place in the newspaper
columns there is an easy way to gain
his desire. He snapped viciously at
Senator Hoar because the latter
alluded to speeches de-
Iivered to empty benches. If the
senator from New Hamp
shire will open proceedings in the
senate tomorrow by plugging the
senator from New Hamp
shire in the nose and follow it up
by challenging every other honor
able senator to either read the $50,
300 word speech through without
line, or step out in front
Of the clerks desk and have it out

rules, with the vice president as
