by Cable to The Timcsl
LoSDov. Mar. 23-No news whatever has
been received from Berlin of the conclusion o.
sn alliance between Russia and France ana
nothing beyond rumor appears TO be known
Of the matter there.
A Paris dispatch says that the officials there
are reticent. but the impression prevails That a
formal understanding was concluded some
months ago. and France had been bringing
some pressure to make the agreement one OF a
formal alliance.
Paris adyices state that the personal report
EARNED 10 the Gar by Count SchOuvalOh.
Russian ambassador Of Berlin. and now on
vacation in Russia greatly strengthened the
cause of France. and that the Count impress
Cd the Car with the belief that Germany was
now without q military head, and that the
time WAS favorable for striking blow nj that
country. A formal treaty IF alliance with
France if not concluded, IS, therefore. not
improbable.
The Cars resort 10 tho Firms, in which he
renews the pledge Of his predecessor TO sup

cant.

Life Cheap Thing in Railro9 I'D Con-
Struction Camps.
The number Of men killed along the South
Bound railroad since the building of the
road began is something appalling. 1t was
said yesterday by gentleman who had the
opportunity OF knowing that twenty-five
would not more than cover the number.
Most Of those were negroes, but two or
three at least were white.
Yesterdays MORNING News announced
the latest addition to this death list, that Of
a negro killed at Denmark about woman
Seven negroes, it is stated, we're KILLED IN
one night at the Brewton oImp in a gen
eral drunken brawl. At least half dozen
negroes and one or two white men were
killed around the bridge across the Savan-
nah river during its building. Killings in
the camps were so common as to be hardly
noticeable. Inquests were seldom held, be-
cause the coroners and the outside world
never heard Of the killings until days after
ward If at all.
The construction gangs were by them
selves in the awamps, unawed by the inilu-
ence OF sheritfs and luries, and were a law
unto themselves. Telegraph lines and rail-
roads there were none, nor any other means
OF communication, except occasionally a
report brought down by a steamboat.
Lue low W0lto men VINO were along Win
the negro gangs had no disposition to inter-
fere with the diversions" of their lawless
employees, as they knew it would be- at the
risk Of their own lives.
The negroes who composed the construc.
ton gangs were largely brought from the
Florida turpentine farms and were an ex-
tremely lawless lot. A good many of them
were armed with Winchesters and pistols
and they had no hesitation in using them.
AS an instance Of their lawlessness it is re-
lated that on one occasion a negro inter-
fered to prevent a row between two others
and stepped between the disputants. "You
won't shoot" he said TO one,
AS an answer the fellow leveled his Win
chester and fired, the ball going through
both the peacemaker's legs.
In addition to the murders there was the
accident near Completion not long ago, in
which one white man AMI four negroes were
killed or received wounds from which they
died.
The lawless gangs, who were responsible
for most of the trouble, will remove from
the country as soon as the road is com.
pleted, however, and will not affect the
peace and harmony Of the new country.

THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
Not Enough Money to Keep Them
Open six Months this Year.

Not Enough Money to Keep Them
Open six Months this Year.
Superintendent of Public Schools Baker,
in speaking to a MORNING NEWS reporter
day or two ago, said it was expected that
the bill now before the legislature providing
for the public school fund for next year,
would appropriate a sufficient amount
to allow of the keeping open
of the public schools throughout
the state next year for full term
of six months. The last legislature made
long step forward when it Appropriated
sufficient to keep the schools open four
months in 1890 and five months in 1891,
For years previous the regular term of
the public schools of the state was three
months. This was all that was paid for by
the state and the pay for even those three
months was very insufficient, averaging
only from 70 to IS cents mouth for each
punil.
lsThe total net amount to be apportioned
among the public schools Of the state this
year is 1914, 900, of which $500 ,OC0 comes
from the tax assessment Of this year, SlS9,-
592 from the excess of the appropria-
ton of 1890, available this year,
$50, 1000 OF the rental of the state road
$4,000 tax on liquor dealers, ST., 900 fees
inspection of fertilizers, 81. 900 proceeds IF
the hire of couvicts, s2,046 dividend on
OeOFkid fallrOaQ STOCK and , oOS tax on
shows. making total of 1929, 900, Of which
| $1,000 is deducted for the expenses OF the
| department of education.
Chatham county's pro rata of this amount
| is S2l, 756. In addition the poll tax Of the
county amounts to about 81, 300 There
are about 900 polls in Chatham county,
| but only about half that number pays taxes.
The appropriation this year is about a.
per cent. greater than last year. 1t is esti-
mated that with tho addition of the poll tax
the pro rata for each pupil will be IS for the
five months. This appropriation will not be
received until the taxes are paid this fall.
The money is not paid from the state treas
ury direct, as provided by law, but orders
are given upon the county tresIurers, to be
paid from the first moneys received % taxes
for the year This causes great complaint.
as the teachers who chiefly depend upon this
fund, do not receive their money until late
In the fall when they are entitled to it a
great deal earlier.
Most of the country schools in this sec
ton OF the state begin their public school
term in June or July and complete it in the
fall.
The city schools, of course, do not depend
upon the meager state appropriation. but
simply add it to their other funds and teach
the full scholastic year.
