the contrary those counties that
are trying to build up their
schools will be discouraged, and
will be strongly tempted to lower
their valuation to equal that of
the most backward county in the
State.
The bill in question puts a pre-
MUM upon the non-support of
local shoots, with the promise of
support from a distance.
The more wealthy counties are
not the only ones that will suffer.
Every county, however small,
must, under this bill, pay the
penalty for progressiveness and
for the faithful collection OF
taxes.
Over half the general school
funds in this State are paid by
poll tax. Pasquotank county, ac'
cording to the State Superintend.
ent's latest report, contains 1884
children of school age. Macon
county's school census is 1868,
yet Pasauotank collects from
polls alone, for public schools,
So, 474.63 while Macon collects
only 80, 221.6 81. In a general dis
tribution Macon would receive
nearly twice as much as Pasquo'
tank, and Pasquotank's schools
would lose, under the proposed
arrangement, 50, 27O,6 81 a year
nearly all the poll tax collected
from it's citizens.
No more unfair and thoroughly
selfish measure has ever beer
before our General Assembly
This bill is the opposite in spiri
and tendency from n intro
duced last week, providing TO.
an election in every TOWNSHIP
in the State on the question O
local tax, which, if passed
will do more to advance pop
ular education than any legisla
tive act ever passed in Nortl
Carolina. The more local a ia.
is made the more just and equabl
it is. It is unfortunate that a
the same time an effort is bein;
made to render public edueatio
a real service by increasing loca
taxes a counter effort should b
made tending to check tn
growth of schools by a genera
distribution of taxes from Re
leigh.

AN UNFAIR MEASURE.
A Bill That is Calculated to Check the
Progress anf support of the Public
Schools of Our State.

a Bill is Calculated to Check the
Progress anf Support of the Public
Schools of Our State.
A bill has been introduced in
the Legislature by the Senator
from Fender, in this district, that
aims a blow at the public schools
of Wayne county, and all those
counties that are more liberal
than others in the support of
their public schools. The bill
provides that the public school
funds of each county, instead
of being applied to the schools
of that county as at pres
ent, shall be paid into the State
treasury, at Raleigh, and from
there distributed among the
counties, according to the num-
Der of school children in each.
Wayne county's annual school
fund, according to the last re-
port, is $13, 078. 20. If Mr.. Pad
dison's bill becomes law, Wayne
county, while paying as much as
it is now doing, will receive for
it's public schools only SO, 1874. 26,
a loss to the county Of 50, pa. A a
year, which latter sum-, although
Wayne county's own money
paid by our taxpayers, will go
elsewhere in the general distri-
button.
It is well for the people to un-
derStand the pernicious tenden-
cies of this bill, for no person in
the larger and weather. counties
who understand it will favor it;
and it is difficult to understand
how an honest man in any county
can advocate a measure to force
citizens of other counties to sup
port his ceunty's public schools.
Wayne county, for instance,
has more school funds than the
adjoining county of Duplin. Not
only has Wayne more polls who
pay taxes for schools, but the
tax rate on property is higher in
Wayne than in Duplin. Farm
land in Wayne assessed at six
dollars an acre is assessed across
the Duplin line at three dollars
or less. Duplin, or any other
county that has a low tax valua-
ton, will not be likely to increase
its valuation as long as other
more progressive counties, will
support its public schools. On

the Coroner has arrived. The
notion is a mistaken one, and
how it holds its place is a mystic
ry. The New York Tribune
quotes a lawyer as saying recent
" on the subject There never
was a more ridiculous and alb
surd piece of nonsense than this.
I have seen a body lie in every
body's way because the people
thereabouts thought it was IN
lawful to touch it. This foolish
tradition amounts almost to su-
perstition, and you may be sure
no Coroner takes the trouble TIC
enlighten stupid ignorance upon
the subject. The Coroner is only
too willing to aggrandize his in
fuence and power, and therefore
rather encourages than discour-
ages this silly superstition"
