RALEIGH, N. c., February 3-County
rnnd district public school authorities in
various parts OF the State are becoming
very much stirred up over the situation
regarding tho apportionment Of the Soc
ond 100000 for 1903 to bring the present
school terms up to the four months
limit. The money in many districts Is
already exhausted and schools must close
unless the State appropriation is forth
coming. The situation is such that the
State Superintendent can neither dis
tribute the money now or give the local
authorities any assurance as to when
the money Will be available, or IL at all.
The fnct Is. the payment Of the nppro-
priatlon Is entirely dependent upon the
bond issue bill now pending in the Log
islattrc. II that passes, this and other
/ appropriations. aggregating about $780,
600, made by the 1901 Legislature, will
be paid; IL 1t docs not pass there is no
chance Tor any of these appropriations.
While there Is strong probability that
the bond issue. which has the full sun
port OF the administration will pass, still
no assurances can be given the county
school authorities until It does pass. In
NE meantime many schools must close
tor lack OF funds. and when closed cam
