Better Public Schools

Voter in the Collinsville Clipper.
 The fact that Alabama is one of the most illiterate states in the union appeals to the patriotism of every thinking progressive citizen of the state. To remedy this un- fortunate state of affairs let us all go to work to provide a remedy. The only rem edy lies in free tuition for the poor child ren of the state.
 The first move in this direction should he the abolishment of the so-called agricul- tural schools of the state and take the money that is paid out to the professors of these schools and apply it to the educa- tion of the children of the hard working farmers of the country. Is 1t right that 25 900 farmers of the Seventh congressional district 24,0O0 of whom never have and never will receive 10 cents worth of bene- fit from the school-to pay the teachers of this agricultural school? Can a big fat salary blind the man who receives it to the niquitous and burdensome character of the legislation by which this yoke of special taxation was fastened to the necks of the poor farmers of the state?
 Take for illustration the poor farmers of Sand mountain, Wills valley or Lookout mountain, or nine-tenths of any part of the district-all these farmers have their thin lands and are compelled to buy commercial fertilizers every year in order to keep the wolf from their doors and their little child fen from starving. Is 1t right to make these farmers pay half dollar for ev-'

PERSONAL OPINION.
Secretary AIger Explains Secretary LOng's Re-
 marks on Maine Disaster.


 Washington. March 2.-The Washington Post will tomorrow print the following in- terview with Secretary of War Alger:
 "The statement of Secretary Long that spain's official participation in the disaster to the Maine has bsen practically elimi- mated, was merely am expression of per sonal opinion on his pant. It is an injustice to him as well as to the administration to give an official significance to his express sion, when he was particular at the time to emphasize the fact that he was speak ing simply as an individual In the ab- sence of final facts, no member of the ad- ministration can, of course, make official declaration in relation to Spains rssponsi bility, moral or otherwise. There is net an iota of information to the cause or origin of the explosion upon which the govern ment can at this time form conclusion or base a decision. The verdict of the court Of inquiry on that point must pa- tiently be awaited.''

cry ton Of guam they buy for their poor farms to these schools, when they have never received from these schools 1a cents worth of benefit and never win receive any benefit from them9
 What Is 1t that makes our legislators see any good in such legislation as this for the mass of the starving children of our stafe-Ii mean starving for an education. But the friends and benefeiaries of these schools say that the manufacturer of fer tilizer pays this tax. but who pays the manufacturer-the school teachers Of these schools? Never a bit of 1t. Then who pays them-the merchant? No. The law yers? No. The doctors? No. Who, then, does pay them? The farmers Of Sand mountain, Wills valley, etc. who buy these fertilizers for their poor lands are the ones that pay this tax-said 30 cents per ton being traded by the manufacturers. They hand it over to the manufacturers through their agents and they hand it over to the state and the state hands it over to the teachers Of the schools Those who live within one or two miles of these schools and the rich who are able to board their children at these schools get the benefit of free tuition, and the children of the poor farmer, mechanic and laborer away from these schools get nothing of this vast guano fund, save the empty honor of having it said his congressional district has an agricultural school
 The aim in view in all general legisla- ton should be the greatest good to the geratest number, but in this case the re- suit seems to be "the least good to the greatest number and the greatest good to the least number''
 The farmer is made to believe that the object of these schools is to educate his farm? If this was done and all or even half could have the advantage 1t would be all right But how is this as a matter of fact? We are told this feature in these schools is complete failure, but little or no attention being paid to this feature of this law.
 How long will the voters of the state sit quietly idle and have their children im- posed on. It all rests with them-they are the power behind the throne.
 If they see. this matter as I see it they should rise up in their might and demand that this farce be stopped. To accomplish this end is easy as can be. Let every political party in the state demand in their platform and convention and of every candidate for the legislature that the tax derived from the sale of guano tags be applied to the common schools where every child in the state can share equally in said fund. That being accomplished other steps can then be taken to further increase the common school fund until every child in the state can have the opportunity of se- curing common school education.

KILLED BY A MOB.
Fred Moore Taken From Jail and Riddled With
 Bullets.

Senatobia, Miss, March 2.-Fred Moore, the negro who murdered Tom Anderson near Love Station on Feb 20 was taken from the jail at 9 o'clock this morning and shot to death by mob of fifty per- sons.
 The mob, which is supposed to have been composed of citizens living in the nefghbor- hood of Love Station, rode into Senatobia about 12 o'clock and immediately proceeded to the jail, to which they forced Sheriff W. F. Gray at the point of shot guns and pistols to yield up the keys. Sheriff Gray. seeing that opposition would avail nothing, turned over his keys and the mob went up stairs where Moore was locked in. They unlocked his cell, put rope around his neck and dragged him 100 yards from the caliboose and then opened fire upon him. No less than fifty shots were fired into his body. The mob then quietly left the scene and rode toward Love Station.
