Prewitt, q progress sive teacher now conducting a very satisfactory school at New Castle, who, as we believe, keeps fairly posted. and knows truth when he meets it in the road, was in the city Saturday on business and circulating among friends, al d incidentally dropped into The Times sanctum to congratulate and commend us for the Anli-F Free Normal School article which ap. pcared in these columns two weeks ago. Several other teach CTS, we learn, have expressed their high approval of the position taken by us Tn that article. Prof. Prewitt looks al the matter in an intelligent and practical manner, readily sees the point, and en- dorses every word of It. He Is q teacher by choice, and It is his full determination to remain in that profession, but he is aware of the fact that should he do so with prott to himself and benefit to his pupils he must prepare himself and spend his own time and money in cultivating his talents and solv- ing the mysteries, the same as the mechanic must do when he learns his trade, the doctor his profes- sion, or the farmer, the editor, the lawyer, the merchant, or any other man, must do, serving hls time at hIs books, spending his savings for instruction, and by ap-

At the next general election, says the Clarendon Sun, the peo- pic of Arkansas are to vote on the question of road taxation. The question involved is: Are the real e,tate owners. of Arkansas, cspeci- a.y nonresident holders of realty --and they constitute about 40 Der cent. of the whole-who receive Inc most benefit, 10 pay their pro- Portlonate share of the expense of bailding and maintaining roads? l ne non.realty holder has nothing whatever to lose, and the man of landed interests has everything to gain. It will not be a burden to the person who owns no property. oacause 1t will not add a cent to Ais taxes; it will not be burden 10 the property owner, because it VIII make every acre of ground he owns more desirable, more aceessi- pie, worth more in dollars and cents.
