RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 6.-Considerable
CONSERVATION was created throughout the
State by a recent decision Of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina, in which the
dictum was laid down-the principal con-
tc1tion at issue was different matter
that county boards of education are
obliged to, apportion public school funds
in the school districts strictly according
to the school population, making the di-
vision per capita between the white and
negro races.
However, the State Superintendent of
Public instruction issued instructions this
morning to the county boards to ignore
the Supreme Courts opinion, as the act
Of the Legislature, which directs them to
distribute the school money to each town
ship, so as to give to each school for each
race the same length OF school term, as
nearly as may be. each year, and to have
proper regard for the grade Of work to
be done and the qualifications Of the
teachers required in each school for each
race, and fix the maximum salary for
each school in the county. This law
having been legally enacted by the Leg
islature. must be assumed to be coDsti-
tutional until it is expressly decided by
the court to be unconstitutional.
IL 40 dAuei llle PROVISIONS OIL tJllS ACT
that the white children are enabled to
enjoy the benefits of a just share of
school funds, in proportion to the very
much larger school tax paid by the white
people.

Lowry escaped from the prison at
Nashville about two months ago, and it

materials were probably left in his wifes
house by him while here. Officers of
the law say that Lowry went from here

possession show evidence Of recent use.

materials found in her house
