EDUCATION IN PIKE
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED
 IN THE WORK.
Superintendent Hill Says People of the County are Moving to Secure Taxation for
 school Purposes.

Hon. 1. W. Hill, State Superintendent of Education, who has just returned rom Troy where he attended an institute of the teachers of Pike County reports a gratifying condition of educational senti- ment in that county.
 The sentiment for an educational revival is perhaps more pronounced in Pike County, he says, than in any other coun- ty of the State. Superintendent Hill re- norts that far reaching educational cam paign has already been inaugurated in Pike. The school men of the county have united to get the bneflt from the special tax for school purposes. A committee to prepare and issue an address to the people of Pike upon the special tax has been raised. Professor Cowart of Troy has been made chairman of this committee.
 It is the purpose of the committee to arouse such interest In educational mat ters in Pike that the required majority for the special tax will be secured. Those who favor the movement will at the proper time present to the Court of Coun- ty Commissioners a petition signed by 200 voters asking the court to order an election to ascertain if a special school tax shall be levied for school purposes At this election a three-fifths vote is required for the special tax to carry.
 Pike County Is leading off in the cam paiRn for local taxation. At the Teach CTS Institute held Friday and. Saturday where Superintendent Hill made his ad- dre3s. sixty-seven teachers were present.
