Will Levy the Tax.

1t has been finally determined that the
much -talked-of supplementary school
tax provided for in the State Constitution,
necessary to raise the So per capita for
the children enrolled in the public schools
of the State, will be levied. The amount
to be raised will be somewhere between
1000 and $50, ,000-exactly what has not
yet been determined.
It will be rene bored that during the
session ofthe General Assembly Mr.. Gage
of Chester introduced Joint resolution
to compel the Comptroller General to levy
this supplementary tax in accordance
with the provisions of the Constitution.
The matter caused no end of discussion,
and came very near passing. Mr.. Gage
showed plainly that the constitutional
requirement was very emphatic.
Since the adjournment of the General
Assembly Comptroller Norton has wor-
ried over this tax considerably, inasmuch
as it was matter which affected every
tax payer in the State. He was not will
ing to carry the whole burden and sought
counsel. Yesterday afternoon a confer
ence was arranged for and it was held at
the Executive Mansion. Comptroller
Norton, Governor Ellerbe, Superinten-
dent of Education May field and Assistant
Attorney General Townsend were pres
ent. The matter was talked over in all it's
phases, legal and otherwise. 1t was freely
discussed. Finally the conference result
ed in the announcement by The Comp
troler that he had definitely determined
to levy the tax as required. He said he
would make the levy just as soon as he
could 60 over all the figures and ascertain
