MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
The Common school Fund.

Jackson, Jan. 1s.-The counties and
separate school districts OF Mississippi
will soon have $6l5, ,G0G.67 more money
than they now possess. That is what
tho January distribution OF the common
school fund amounts to, inclusive of tho
poll taxes retained by them. The audi
tor of public accounts has just sent out
vouchers for the distribution OF this
largo sum of money. 1t is badly needed
by the poorly paid school teacher, who
for the amount Of work done receives
less compensation than any other class
OF citizens. Under the law the common
schools are required to be run four
months in each year in each separate
school district and county. BY special
taxation they can run as much longer
as they desire, and most Of them do,
especially in the separate school dis
tricts, many of which have school ten
months in the year. The common school
fund appropriation is 1929, 800. The law
requires that two-thirds OF the sum
shall be distributed by the 18th of jan
uary and the balance by the 18th Of
June in each year. The June distribu-
tion and apportionment will be the same
for 1896 as for this year.
The educsble children in the State
sImber 54l,53l. Of the total amount
each child will receive fraction over
Sl.70. OF the present distribution the
seventy-five counties Of the State will
receive $3.50, 1888, and the fifty-eight
separate school districts $50, 1914.
Mississippi dist 'ibutes nearly Sl,000,-
900 from her tro 'ury for the common
schools of the State. The sum is sent
to whites and blacks alike, no disc, min
alton whatever being made. 1t is esti-
mated that the counties and separate
school districts distribute at least $780,
000 making grand total for common
schools OF 81, 5000

SAN FRANcIscGo, Jan. 21.-At the
headquarters of the Hawaiian consul
there was little information to be
gained concerning the uprising fur
ther than has already been published
in the correspondence from Honolulu,
but from another and most reliable
source it was learned that the govern
ment officials at the islands had COM
municated number of facts to its
representatives in this country by
which it is expected to trace up the
source of the supply of arms which was
obtained by the natives. In fact it is
said that the representatives here have
already considerable proof against GER
tain persons who are known to be
friendly to the royalists, and who arc
even now planning to send additional
arms to the islands.
