decade If it did not vote to use this perm
anent fund to invest in the school houses
of the State That money came from the
sale of public lands that belonged to the
children of the State, and surely II would
be the best use of it to give 1t back 10
the children in this way.
The money would be loaned TO the
County Boards of Education There would
be 5000 600 the first year and S2S,oOV every
year thereafter. The result would be
that in ten years we would have good
school houses all over the State.
If it was going to be used at all now,
give it in addition to the 100000 pledged
At least that would be keeping our
pledge.
That fund belonged to the children Of
North Carolina, he concluded, and u we
are going to use it at all, we should hor-
row it from them by bond issue just as
we would from any banker. The child
rem had a right to demand this from
US.
Mr.. Love favored straight issue of
$500 900 bonds at per cent We were
pledged to the schools, and could only
take the money from the permanent
fund by q bond issue. The only ques-
ton was whether that fund should not
be used for permanent improvements.
General Davidson said he for his part
thought the best plan would be to use
the permanent fund to meet the present
emergency. That had always been the
policy of the State, to use it as an emer-
geney fund.
AS a matter of fact, it had never been
the policy to let this fund grow beyond
a point where it could be of some appre-
ciable benefit to the schools. If this fund
to a very great extent, it
would attract the flies of speculation and
prove temptation to every Legislature.
Superintendent Joyner said that was
his purpose; by investing the money the
possibility of loss would he done away
with. Moreover more money would be
left for the school term, as now the law
allowed certain part of the school fund
to be used for buildings.
General Davidson said that when once
that money get out 1t could never be
gotten back, and might tend to lessen
self help in communities. Mr.. Blount ex-
planned that, instead of lessening self
help, it would accelerate it, Two years
ago people SAID the people Woulu now
raise money for rural public school lib
raries But they did and took every cent
General Davidson said this emergency
was very serious and ought to be met
by using what money we have
There was some other discussion, all
looking toward common ground in pro-
viding for the deficit and doing what is
best for the public schools in the State.

IS to Judge Undertake,

To the Editor: On your editorial page
in Sundays issue you say that Judge
Undertake was fighting to get the post
office department to rent his building
after a contract had been made to rent
a building belonging to a Democratic
lawyer 1 wish to say that this is in
correct, as the building which the de-
partment did rent is owned by Hon. G.
M. Cooke. Mr.. G. w. Ford and myself.
Judge Undertake has no interest what
ever in it and any action he took in the
matter was simply as a private citizen
and not as attorney. The present loca-
ton is approved by large proportion
of the people Of the town.
Respectfully.

Though the ropes be sin and the seet be singing
What matter it, IL the FISH bite free.
For deep In our hearts can hear singing,
Yea, well loved voices we hear a-slnging.

With the wind astern .
We shall sail, shall sail.
When the FISH are all caught.
We shall tarry for naught,

Bridge coIIapses in Topeka.

TOPEKA. Kans., June S.-The pom
toon bridge connecting North Topeka
with the north approach of the big
Melan bridge, which latter spans the
river, connecting both parts of the
town, went out at l o'clock today.
This sewers all connection with the
north side save by boat, and It Is not
thought that it will be possible to re-
pair the damage before Wednesday.
This will result in great hardships to
the people now in North Topeka. as
all the boats sent here from the out
side have been taken away.
