org - to-day at IL o'clock. Mr..
Als.en advocate ! the bill, and urged the
necessity OF teaching morality in the
pubic schools. The bill passed by a
rising vote.
10 Divide The Money Per Capita.
MIR. Bryan's bill to divide all the
scno6 fund or the State per capita had |
ravsraoe report for the committee.
Mr.. Bryan made an argument for it and
urged thaG 1t was the only just and col
stlLutlsual manner of dividing the fund.
Mr. Turner made an argument against
it. l5 Is utterly impracticable to send all
this morey to Raleigh and then distri-
butte It out to the counties. It would
.create jaalously between the sections.
Inc whiNe men OF the west wonld be un-
willing - be taxed to educate the ne
groes. II would be unjust TO wealthy
wsunties 70 make division TO the poor
counties The small counties il repre-
sentatiOa already have better oppor-
tunity han the large counties.
Mr.. 81 gan srid that The East furnished
as much money rs the West. New Han
ovor furnishes IS per capita for schools.
Many O. the Western counties are worse
off [ faa + Eistern counties. Counties
that hsSe large trading cities draw
wealth from other counties, and they
| ought 70 be willing to divide the school
tund I'd The agricultural counties from
which they draw their money. Other
| States have p State system we have q
county system. You might as well make
the cou lfios separately take care of their
insatge and deaf and dumb. The privil-
ege5 Of education ought to be extended
10 the poor.
Mr.. Ardry thought this would be a
stab at tae school system, and would be
. wrong departure
All the counties in the State are going
forward and doing we'll IN the cause of
education. If we would enlarge the area
and les our children walk IA Ii, tie farther
il wOuld be beneficial. Ii we pass the
bill it will greatly retard the progress Of
the schools.
Nj. Lucas said: This is not All eastern
measure at all. He favored the system
rs is is As far as his people are con,
cerned they wer9 satisfied with what
their ceun.y received We want nc
charge. We DO not want the funds OF
other counties because they are more
wealthy. When we make up our minds
to submit TO high taxes we will have a
sat sfactory system all around.
Mr. Bell said he wouldn't beg for his
people e the richer counties thought
q riqa5 give the schools in some coun
ties = f1rs weeks term and IL others
four .ourhs' term, let them do IT,

J il This rtll does not pass. Mr.. AycocI
I said The lands in Wayne were valued a
Sc an acre. This bill would cut dow

I, not single bar room in his county to b
taxed It is unfair and unjust. WIS
we could levy higher tax for education
and bust the bonds of the constltutio
l. to do it. Mr. Bryan replied to Mr.. Ay
