MAY BE A QUORUM TO-DAY

MAY BE A QUORUM TODAY

When the Constitutional Convention
meets at 10 o'clock this morning there
may be a quorum. If So the incompleted
report Of the Committee on Education
will be first taken up in Committee Of the
Whole, ano, if possible, disposed OF. An
effort will be made TO have consideration
postponed until the arrival OF a few alb
sentees, who are deeply interested, but
all further motions of this kind are
doomed to defeat.
The two sections to be vet decided are
those relating to a minimum appropria-
ton in the Constitution to the support
of the University and the paying Off the
certificates and bonds held against the
State by the various institutions of learn
Ing.
The committee has recommended that
the present appropriation to the Univer-
sity be fixed at the minimum amount.
There is serious opposition to this

stood to be the leaders OF the opposition,

with Chairman McIiwainc. will champion
the adoption of the committee report
HOLDING OF BONDS.
The committee has recommended that
the present status concerning the holding
of bonds of the State by the educational
institutions be continued.
This is also opposed by Messrs. kee-
zell and WitherS, who claim that the
State has no right to continue paying five,
six and eight per cent. interest, when
there is a supply in the treasury to call
them in and pay off part, while the
balance could be funded in three or four
per cent. bonds. Both OF these members
had failed to arrive last night, and if
absent to-day and the Committee Of the
Whole refuses TO pass by, the sections
will prbobably be adopted IN short
while with but little debate. and the re-
port of the Committee on Education will
be completed.
What other reports will be taken up
is not known. One thing is certain:
There will be no further delay on ac-
count Of wastir3 for some one or two
| absentees on every. question. The general
| sentiment seems to be to proceed at once

The Coming Country Life.

The statistics of population of the
census of 1900 show that the cite:
are growing faster than the rura
districts. The statistics of agricul'
ture of the same census, now being
published in bulletin form, show
that while the foregoing is true, the
farming interests in all of the
states, especially those of the south
and west, have had substantial
growth and improvement.
1t is quite probable that the
movement of the young people
from rural life to the cities will not
be so heavy in future. The aver
age young American is counted
pretty bright, and as he sees that
city life is over done, nOtwith-
standing its allurements he will
think twice before casting his des-
tiny there. Then again farm life
is not now so isolated as it was
formerly, and it is becoming more
and more attractive every day.
Railroads, trolleys, improved pub
lie highways, bicycles, telephones,
free rural mail delivery, cheap
newspapers and magazines, and pi-
amos and organs within reach of
every industrious farmer, all OPP
crate TO make life in the country
brighter and better. Schools and
churches are now more plentiful
and better conducted in the rural
districts than ever before. Mr.. Ed
ison, the inventor, predicts that
within a short time automobiles
will be as cheap as good horse and
buggy are now; and then ten
miles over a good road will be
merely matter Of thirty minutes.
With. progress and invention to
give promise of many better things.
we see a very bright future in store
for the people who live on and Gull
tivate the farms.
