MIssIsslPPPs GOOD EXAMPLE.

Mississippi is not so large State and
is not so rich State as North Carolina
and its proportion of negro population is
much larger than North Carolina. The
people of that good COMMONWEALTH
home of Jefferson Davis, Lamar and
George-are alive to the educational de-
mands of the time, as this statement of
the acts of the Legislature shows
Appropriations of $2,50OOOO for the
public schools of the State for the next
biennial period. This is the largest ap-
preparation ever made in Mississippi for
this purpose.
Increased appropriations for all the
State educational institutions, and pro-
viding for the erection of new buildings
at the University of Mississippi, Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College, Alcorn
Agricultural and Mechanical College
Industrial Institute and College. These,
colleges get about 100000 more than
was given at the last Legislative ses-
ion."
Such magnificent appropriations for
education by what has been regarded as
one of the most unprogressive of South
etn States shows that the people of that
State have realized that education must
precede and go hand in hand with indus
trial progress.
Mssiissippis long step forward is an
example for emulation by all the South
ern States.

CHILD Rem IN FACTORIES.

Referring to the fact that a jury re-
Gently gave one thousand dollars dam
ages against a factory because a boy
employed there was injured, upon the
ground that it was negligence on the
part of the company in employing the
child, the Durham Herald says:
"We have no fault to find with this
verdict, but there are two sides to all
questions, and we propose to go into the
other side. This child being a minor it
is presumed that the suit was brought
by his parents. 1t is also more than
probable that his parents sought and
secured work for him at the factory,
but of course took upon themselves no
responsibility for his injury. In this
particular case the parents of the child
and the owners of the factory are equal
ly guilty and no reasonable man can
make anything else of it,"
Young children ought not to be en-
ploycd in any factories. Parents who
wish to live by their labor ought not to
be permitted to hire them out and fac
tories should not employ them. The
cotton mill men acted wisely when they
signed an agreement not TO employ
yourg children. All other factories
would do well to follow their example.

why the can, in opening the discus
sion Of this matter, took pains to show
how very small thing of mill upon
the dollar was. Even if the Council
should at first grant only 1 mill, there
would be a constant struggle, every
year, for larger appropriation.
If we incline to favor the new tax
proposition, we had as we'll look the
possible and probable cost squarely
in the face. Do we wish to bear that
expense; or, if ourselves almost ex-
empt from it in any case, shall we
emulate Artemas Ward who was, he
said, ''In favor of this war, and in
favor of the next war, and willing to
shed, in the next war, every drop of
the blood of his first wife's relations?"
Now without imposition upon any
one-without the expense and worry
of annual elections and the unpleasant
ness of differences between friends
without rendering the Library an OBJ
ject of disgust to maryland without
introducing the social trouble, which
must absolutely defeat all the objects
aimed at, and from which the taxation
plan offers no possible means of escape
we can still revive our excellent
library and open a reading room every
evening. Exemption from all those
objections could be secured, and the
desired ends be obtained by the old
voluntary subscriptions of only one
dollar year, and the expenditure of
a small portion of the vim now
being DEVOTED to far less practicable
plan. Some of us have been friends
to libraries all our lives, and are ready
now, as ever, to give them aid in a
practical and reasonable direction.

FREE LIBRARY.
COMMUNICATED.
The Library for the School.

Our school is very much in need of
library. We need books of reference
to which pupils can be freely referred.
We need some good wholesome read
ing matter such as our best works of
fiction can afford We need histories
by many historians so that history can
be taught by subjects and made inter-
esting to the pupils. Why do 1 give
our needs? Because 1 have been ham
pered in my work by the absence of
these things. [ give pupils subjects to
find out something about them not
found in the textbooks. They come
back to class saying we had no place to
find out about the subjects. Then in
teaching English find the pupils very
deficient in the use of good words.
Such use can only come from much
reading of well written books. In
recent article on the subject of Free
Library a wholesale criticism was
made of fiction, but the writer had un-
doubtedly been great reader of what
he condemned, as was shown by his
flow of words. In our schools we have
many children who would be glad of
an opportunity to secure some good
work of fiction. How can these needs
be supplied? We have practically
Free Library in our town which needs
new books and more funds. 1t has
not the funds because those who have
two dollars to spend as a membership
fee have plenty of books and so do not
patrOnize the library.
Our State Legislature has provided
by ''Act" plan by which we can Sc
cure free library. This plan pro-
vides for very slight increase of taxes
upon every one. Now the present
library is willing to turn over its stock
to free library if the town will vote
to have one. With this accomplished
our children, who have not the two
dollars to secure the privileges of our
present library, would have the very
advantages they need. Will not this
be better than school library where
only the school children would be
allowed?
AS to the control of the library that
would be in the hands of nine persons
elected by the citizens of Smyrna.
Can we trust ourselves to select nine
persons who could make rules provid-
ing for the ''motley crowd?"
The law provides that the nine per-
sons, styled the Clown Library Com
mission, shall make rules for govern
ing the use of the library and all other
necessary rules. 1t will not be nee
essary to have reading room and the
matter of having one can safely be left
to any nine persons, such as the voters
of this town may select.
The frstscommission would be chos :
en- by the Town Council to serve until
another should be elected. We trust
the Town Council when it comes to
spending our money. Can we not
trust them in selecting persons who
are to arrange for library and sug-
gest the amount of extra taxes needed? ?

Free Library Tax.

The author of "How Much Extra
Tax'' in your last issue, was led into a
very natural error by his impression
that the town poll tax (like that of the
schools) is levied upon an assessed
Vdta0tiOn of each head. There is.
however, no such valuation, of $500 or
any other sum-the tax being simply
a specific one, which, for several years
past, has been one dollar for each
poll. Therefore his calculation of the
effect of a / mill or 2 mill additional
rate upon the votable polls cannot pos
sibly apply.
In levying a part of the Free Lii
brary Tax upon the ''head" as required
by the act, the Town Council would
merely levy upon each poll an addi-
tlonal specific tax, which, if the polls
are to bear any reasonable part of a
burden imposed for a benefit exclu-
sively personal, could not we'll be
made under one dollar, because in
consequence of the many delinquents
In poll tax collections, even that rate
would scarcely produce $50 outside of
the poll taxes paid by property hold
ers. Whatever the poll tax may be
the owner of property must of course
pay it as we'll as the tax upon his real
estate. In no event can the poll ele-
ment of the total sum raised, much
affect the owners of property. Their
increased burden under the new law,
will, as has been frequently stated,
be almost exactly I of last years tax, if
I mill be levied by the Town Council,
and in proportion for a higher or
lower rate. When deciding whether
or not we will adopt this new law for
our town, we should consider the ex-
treme limit of the authority granted to
the Town Council-it is a decision
once for all. Ideas of moderation be-
fore election may be forgotten after
success has been attained. In our
neighboring town, placards posted be-
fore the polls were opened, urged that
the tax would only be one cent upon
the hundred dollars, yet already their
