OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
important Action Taken by the
Board of Directors.

Board of Directors.
Last Saturday a motion was passed
by the Boards of School Directors of
the ninth and nineteenth civil districts
to appoint committee to ask the
County Court to set aside the town of
Maryville as a seperate school district
within the following limits: bounded
on two sides by two lines each, one
mile from, and parallel to Main street
in Maryville, on the other two sides
by two lines each, one mile from the
Court House and running at right an
giles to to the two lines parallel to
Main Street in Maryville, the Court
to authorize the election OF three di-
rectors within such district, the direct
ors to have the same power and auth
ority in this district as is delegated to
other school districts directors.
The Committee to canvass the ter
ritory within the limits named and Sc
cure the names as petitioners of such
persons living within these limits as
are favorable to such action by the
Court and secure subscriptions of
money for erecting school buildings
within said district adequate to the
needs for school purposes, with the
view of establishing graded school.
The following named persons con-
stitute the committee appointed:
Prof. Fisher.
Mac Lowry.
Harry Barger.
The school buildings in Maryvllle
are not only inadequate and unsightly
but have long been unsafe and dis
credit to our town.
The question of better school build
ings is serious one and various plans
have been suggested for securing new
ones The plan of the Boards taking
the action here referred to, is to place
Maryville in a position to erect hel
own school buildings without cost tc
the county or to the other schools ii
the ninth and nineteenth districts.
By a judicious use of the schoo
property now in the town and of th'
funds soved by suspending the towl
schools, supplemented by money sub
scribed by citizens of Maryville, theS
buildings can soon be realized, at tn
same time allowing the other school
to continue in session.
Any other plan will necessitate tn
closing of all the schools of the dis
tricts concerned and deprive them {
the use Of school funds to aid in III
erection of buildings in Maryville.
The action of the Boards is just an
prudent to say the least and was take
after very careful deliberation and ws
friendly and HARMONIOUS in every pal
ticular.
1t is hoped the Court will grant til
request and that the citizens will d
all in their power to assist the con
mittee in their efforts to secure Mar,
Vile these much needed improv
ments.

A fine alone is imposed by section 50
Aforesaid; and the section last above
quoted provides the mode and the only
mode In which the states part Of that
fine can be recovered, namely, by pre-
sentiment or indictment, such hne not
being imposed In a case mentioned IN
section 2l9 OF chapter 50.
Now. section ?. OF chapter S6 shows
copciuslveig, II seems to me, that Il was
not the intention OF the legislature 20
confer upon an infOrmer remedy for
the recovery Of his part Of a fne that
the state does not enjoy for the recoV-
cry OF It's part; but that both recoveries
should be In one and the same proceed

law may allow an lnformer or person
prosecuting. to have part Of hne, the
whole thereof shall 60 to the state for
the support OF free schools. unless the
name Of such infoTSner or prosecutor be
endorsed on or written at the foot OF
the presentment at the time 1t Is made,
or OF the indictment before 1t Is pre-
scented to the grand jury, etc.
It Is claimed, however. on behalf OF
the said N. w. Bird, that the prosecu-
ting attorney Of this county. after hav-
Ing been duly notified that the petition
er, Kate Bartolla. had money loaned
which she had failed 20 return for taxa
ton as required by section 50, OF chap

In the case Of Mrs. Kate Bartclis vs.
Justice OF the Peace James A. Dunning.
arguments in which were made last
week by Colonel George B. Caldwell for
the plaintiff and by Colonel Arnett for
the defendant, Judge PAUL Of the cir
cult court yesterday rendered his decis-
ION, which is in effect that the justices
do not possess Jurisdiction, and that the
proper court to bring such litigation is
the criminal court, the grand jury first
to find an indictment, and then there
must be conviction before the informer
gets anything.
Speaking of the decision yesterday
Colonel Caldwell said that he believed
that the decision of Judge PAUL would
sound the death-knell of any further tax
informer prosecutions. Others who are
not so sanguine believe that the in
former crowd will attempt to secure In
dictments from the next criminal court
grand jury The next few weeks will
determine the matter.
Judge Paull's decision In full was as
follows:
Kate BaNolas vs.. James A. Dunning,
and others, upon petition for writ of
prohibition.
on or about the 18th day of septem-
Der, 1898. Judgment In favor OF NJ. w.
Bird for $l2 so, was rendered against
the petitioner by James A. Dunning, a
Justice Of the peace OF Ohio county, In
a civil action, brought for the recovery
OF money due the said Bird as informer
under the provisions OF section s., OF
chapter 90 Of the code.
This section reads as follows: IF
any persons whose duty It Is by law to
list any personal property, being called
upon by the assessor to do so, refuses
to furnish proper list thereof, .
he shall forfeit not less than ten nor
more than one hundred dollars. And II
any person fail to give true list of all
money loaned which should be assess
ed. he shall, In addition forfeit per
centum on such sum not so listed, which
shall go to the informer." And the
question to be decided is, whether JUS
tice Dunning had jurisdiction to render
the judgment aforesaid.
Chapter IS Of the code concerns ''the
mode OF recovering fines" Section of
that chapter reads: when statute
imposes a fine (Which word is intended
to include every pecuniarg penalty or
forfeiture,) 1t shall be to the state for
the support of free schools unless 1t is
otherwise expressly provided"-as is the
case in section 50 aforesaid as to part
OF the fine there imposed. And section
{: Where fine alone is imposed, II II
be in case mentioned In section two

To the Editor Of the 1ntelllgencer.
sIR:-The Register Of this morning
deyotes column of its editorial page to
the gerrymanderIng of the county. as II
is pleased to call it. Some Of the readers
Of that paper would like 1t to publish the
vote ot each district as cast in Novem-
Der. 1886 and the vote as shown by the
assessors at the present time in each
district. aE
The Register asserts that sure Demo-
cratic districts were cut up and divided
from one end of the county to che other
which is a surprising statement. I am
informed the three country diftrictswere
no, disturbed. How in TIE name OF all
that Is reasonable can the Register turn
a district Democratic that has not gone
that way for years. The city districts
have been Republican for years, with
one or two exceptions.
The Register further asserts that for
mer Democratic baards could have re-
dlstricted the county and, thus perpetu-
ated themselves in Office. We have mad
some pretty cute Democratic boards, but
hardly cute enough for that. How could
they make district north Of the creek
Democratic when they have not been
able to elect a commissioner in that sec
ton for years, and could not possibly by
any change they could have made, by
clear cut" lines. or lines as crooked as
the vision Of. or political Views OF the
Register, make Democratic district?
The Register claims the 'redlstricting
was done by what 1t pleaSes to call the
''ring." ! am informed by members OF
the present board OF commissioners that
the changes we're made without the AID
or advice Of any ring, II rings there be;
that the lines were made straight which
were formerly crooked. VIII the Mar
ket street paper take look at the maps
Of the new districts and point out the de-
fscts? By comparing the old lines with
the new we see that the districts are
not only nearly equal in voting popula-
tlOn, but the lines run straight from the
river to the city limits on the east.
l believe the changes as made will
meet the approval Of all. fair minded
men Of either party when they look into
this matter for themselves, and not take
the TRADE and trash Of the Register for
facts, Let that paper give its readers
the vote by districts OF old as well as
new, side by side. and show where for
mer crooked lines were made straight,
and let the public Judge who is right.
Finally. how would It do'for the Reg
lister to give It's readersra rest on the
Pecksniff driyel, and devote a little time
in finding out where the Popocrats
stand on the issues Of the day?
