Died, at the residence Of her mother IN
Macon, Mrs. Addie Mcleod simpson, in the
9TH year OF her age.
Only few weeks ago she was living IN
our midst. How sad to realize that she is
gone and win come no more that one so
dear to many hearts is now reposing in the
silent halls of DEATH" We did not know
until few hours before her death that the
unseen messenger, with shadOwy pinions'
was lowering near, waiting to bear another
loved one from the scenes Of Time to Eter'
nifty. Fondest love, tears and prayers were
unayalling to stay the summons that all
must obey sooner or later. MeeSly aRd sub
missiyely she bowed to the mandate Of heS-
ven, and when her gentle spirit had re-
turned to the God who gave it, smile oil
angelic sweetness fingered upon the lovely
countenauce. Thus passed away in the
morning OF her life one who was universal
w beloved and respected an amiable ana
generous disposition won for her many true
and devoted friends. Early in lils she pro-
fessed religion, the GROWING grace OF hu
man character; her earthly name is writ
ten in the book of the Presbyterian church.
She has left grief-stricken husband, mo-
tner, sisters and brothers, with numerous
relatives, classmates and friends to weep
for her. She can never return to us, but
the precious hope should console us, even
in the gloomiest hour of grief, that we can
go to her; when the sorrows OF life are
ended we can meet her again in heaven.
How sweet to know thou 'rt happy
And safe forever more:
To know thy feet are treading
Upon the pearly shore.
A SINCERE FRIEND.

1t is safe to assert that not ten per
cent, of the qualified voters in Missis
sippi, or even ten per cent, of those
who will go to the polls st the Novem-
Der election, are acquainted with the
object of the proposed amendment, and
some Education along this line is very
badly needed. The voters will neglect
the question unless they are made con-
versant with its objects, just as they
neglected the Noel amendment.
Following is copy of section 206 Of
the constitution which shows how the
school fund is distributed at present:
There shall be common school
fund, which shall consist of the poll tax
Ito be retained in the counties where
the same is collected) and an additional
sum from the general fund in the state
treasury which together shall be suf
icient to maintain the common schools
for term of four months in each
scholastic year. But any county or
separate district may levy an additional
tax to maintain its schools for a longer
term than four months. The common
school fund shall be distributed in pro-
portion to the number of educsble
children in each, to be determined
from data collected through the office
Of the state superintendent of educa
ton, in the manner prescribed by
law.
A careful reading OF the section as
amended shows wherein the author
seeks to haYe the poll tax collected re
tanned in the county where collected,
and not distributed among the various
counties as at present. The amended
section closely copies after the original
and reads as follows:
There shall be county common
school fund, which shall consist Of the
poll tax, to be Retained in the county
where the same is collected, and a
state common school fund, to be taken
from the general fund in the state
treasury, which together shall be suf.
fcient to maintain the common schools
for a term Of four months in each
scholastic year. But any county or
separate school district may levy an ad.
ditional tax to maintain its schools for a
longer time than the term of four
months. The state common school
fund shall be distributed among the
several counties and separate school
districts in proportion to the number of
educable children in each, to be de-
termined from data collected through
the Office Of the state superintendent of
education in the manner prescribed by
law"
The proposed amendment was fought
quite bitterly in the legislature last
winter, especially by members from the
delta counties. where a minimum of
poll tax is paid in proportion to the
population. Not one negro in five
hundred in Mississippi pays a poll tax,
and many white men neglect the obliga-
ton. In brief, the amendment seeks
to set aside the custom that has hereto.
fore prevailed of distributing the poll
tax collected on a pro rata basis and tc
establish a new basis of distribution -
