In the matter of the school fund
apportionment in another column,
we have only given official facts
and figures and have endeavored
to place no person or persons in an
untrue light, The schools need the
money and it is a rank injustice to |
deprive them of it. There is not
school in the county today but
what is crippled for the want of
funds. That $SI5 should have been
apportioned last August. 1t and all
other school funds should be appor.
toned now, And just a word to
our friend, the editor of the New
port News: Just give this matter a
little personal attention. Don't let
your prejudices and jealousies run
away with your better judgement.
If, after investigatigation, you
find that the facts and fig
ures as given elsewhere in this pa
per about the matter are true, you
owe it to the people as newspaper
and also as a citizen to aid us in
drawing public attention to the
end that the schools of our county
may have the money apportioned
that rightfully brlongs to them. AS
