The decision of the court is that
the colored children may not be ex-
cluded from the white schools.
This decision was not unexpected.
There Is no positive law for their sep.
aration and several court decisions
against 1t. The school board now
has tough proposition for solution.
Every school room in the city is
crowded, without the colOred child
rem. except the one in the First ward
that was fitted up for the colored
children. The board also has a color
ed teacher employed. 1t looks very
much like the room in the old First
ward building will have to be opened
up for whites and blacks ard the COL
ored teacher, Mr.. Robinson, retain
ed.
We really think the colored people,
could they get over this feeling that
they were being dlscrim mated against
would have been better off in separ-
ate schools.

Attention, Farmers.

Why remain ia the North and stay
in doors six months in the year con-
suming what you raise during the
other six months?
Go South where you can work out
doors every month in the year, and
where you are producing something
the year round. If you are stock
raiser you know your stock are now
"eatlng their heads Off" and, besides,
have to be protected from the risors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding requires
the combination of both fiesh-form-
ing and fat.forming foods in certain
proportions. Alabama and Florida
produce in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first flesh produc-
er and the latter fat producer, and
they are the cbeapeat and best fat
tening materials known to the world.
More money can be made and with
less labor, in general farming. fruit
and berry growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the South than
ia any other section of the Union.

To Drill 900 Wells.
The Morning Star of Muncie,
Indiana, of January 18th contained
the following concerning the
Decker brother who are brothers
of Mr.. Decker at Lewisville, Monroe
county Ohio. The Star says. George
Decker formerly of Hartford City,
and his brother, have begun work
on one of the largest contracts for
drilling oil wells ever let in the Ia
diana oil fields. The contract is
with the Indianapolis Trust COM
pany and Is for 600 wells. The
work was commenced some time
ago and Is being pushed rapidly
The supreme court last fall rem,
dered decision that oil companies
could not take leases on land and
hold them without drilling wells o.
the land and giving the ownes some
of the benefits. Immediately after
this decision the bids were asked
for and the contract let short
time ago to the peckers.iThe Deck
ers have FIVE strings of tools work
Ing night and day. Three and four
wells are being brought In each
week Other gangs will be put to
work as rapidly as possible, as 1t Is
the intention, If possible, to push
the work to completion inside of a
year. The wells are now being
drilled east and southeast Of Sum
mitville, and as fast as they
are brought In are being
capped. The company owns
leases on land all around Alexan
dria and the additional gangs OF
men will be put to work in that
territory. II Is not the intention to
put the wells In action until the
proper arrangements are made, |
which will hardly be before the
contract IS completed. The we'll so
far brought in show good flow OF
oil. but the gas pressure is very
weak. 1t Is said that 1t will not
run more than forty or fifty
pounds. The price paid for the
Deckers for these wells IS not
known exactly, but 1t is known
that the average price paid for well
drilling IS 81 200 a we'll, This
means that 600 wells will cost in
the neighborhood of $500, 600. The
real cost of drilling we'll IS but
$500.
