EACH CHILD
 WILL GET $1.31 Per Capita AppOrtiOnment Shows Decrease. DUE TO CENSUS INCREASE App0rtionment Last Year was
 $l.3S Per Child. There are Now 7oe,55s Children of
 School Age in Alabama Who VII Receive $eeo, ,734.11.

The small sum which each child in Aia- bama has been receiving for school pur- poses will. for the coming year be even smaller than for the past twelve months.
 Each child of school age i'll Alabama received last year the sum of A.2S. The inadeQuacy of this small amount was often alluded to in the debates in the re- cent Legislature on school bills. It was held up more than once as a reproach to the State
 The per carita apportionment this year will be even smaller. It drops to N.s1. a drop which is due to the large increase of school children as shown by the cen- sus. The general school fund shows an actual increase of several thousand dol- lars, but this Is offset by the increase in the number of children in Alabama of school age.
 The total of the school census of last year was 676, ,2S5. This year the number of children in Alabama of school age is 706.56s. The total of the general fund available for school purposes last year increased to s990, 734.11. The collections for poll tax was included in neither of the totals. There Is a marked decrease in the amount collected from poll tax for this year from that of last year.. The school children this year will receive only s101 ,0oo from polls.
 For the fiscal year beginning October l. 1904, there will be a marked increase in the general, school fund. For the first time the funds from the special three mills school tax provided by the Cons.i- tuition will be available. This special tax will be assessed and collected during this year. Tn the meanwhile the Legislature passed bill appropriating s55o000 to tide fhe schools over until the constitutional tax was available.
 Following Is the total apportionment to be credited to the cities and State Dis- tricts for the school year beginning De- tober l. 1903. and ending September 50. 1onA.

WhiStler's White Lock.

AS long as the name of James Nc
Neill Whistler lives among those who
saw him it will recall the famous white
lock which stood out so conspicuously
from the mass of his black hair. 1t
was, as he used to say himself. well
placed" and was always treated from
the harmonious point of view, to devel
op its greatest effect in his appearance.
One day when Dorothy Menpcs, daugh-
ter of the well known English artist,
Mortimer Menpes, was a baby and was
asleep on her pillow, Whistler went to
see her. A white feather had by chance
settled on her head and lay in spot
exactly corresponding with the white
lock on his own head. "That child is
going to develop into something great"
he exclaimed. "for, see, she begins with
q feather, just like me"'

phrases as Folks don't like to hear a

But need we fear to discuss it? Here
was one young child pitted against

presidents, perhaps Il judge or two, es-

1t was a contest too ridiculous to be
tolerated. Plainly the important thing
was to still that one strong young

disturb its tender young ethical stand

would learn the truth about those bears

Drones on the Increase,

One consideration that is making our
people impatient of hard work is the
example of riches quickly made
through the semigambling activities
Men whose fathers would have died
rather than live on bread they had not
earned find themselves willing to be
taken care of by the government per
haps or by 'the party" or by their
more fortunate or industrious relatives
Such drones know nothing of the salts

earned his right to live and whose
death is thus not debt paid to nature,
for he owes her nothing.

NEXT TO THE AMAZON.
Rio de In Plata and Its Vast Basin
In South America

The river system of the Plate or of
the Rio de Ia Plata. is one of the most
wonderful in the world The volume
of the stream is greater than that of
the Mississippi. 1t is surpassed only
by the Amazon. 1t drains a basin more
than half as big as the whole United
States and one which in fertility of
soil and salubrity of climate is only
surpassed by the basin of the Missis-
sippi, and it is a question whether it.
has not more cultivated territory. Up
on it tens of millions of cattle and
sheep are pastured, and it's wheat fields
compete with ours in the markets Of
Europe. 1t has the most extensive
plains Of the globe, and it is a vast ex-
panse of fairly good land
It is white mans country. The ba-
sin Of the Amazon is tropical and mala-
rious. That Of the Plate is largely in
the temperate zone. Its northern parts
are like Louisiana or Florida, and in
the south the summer climate is as
temperate as that of our middle states.
1t is the Mississippi basin reversed,
the source of it's rivers being in the
hot country, where there are coffee
and sugar lands and rubber trees, and
Its mouth in the rather cool lands Of
Uruguay and the Argentine, noted for
their fields of wheat and corn.
The vast basin is formed in the
shape of great horseshoe, with the
opening toward the Atlantic, the An
des and the strip of highlands which
crosses Brazil from the back and up
per rim Of the shoe, while the slightly
sloping plains Of Patagonia bound 1t
on the south. In it are included the
best Of the Argentine, all Of Uruguay
and Paraguay and large portions of
Brazil and Bolivia. The most Of it has
been built up by the Parana or Rio de
Ia Plata system, and today these rivers
are still at their great work of earth
building.
