The School Tax.

Senator JObe of Hampstead
county has announced his purpose
to re.intrOduce in the next legis-
lature his bill to divide the school
taxes among the whites and blacks
according to the amount paid by
each. Such a bill has been intro
duced at former sessions of the
Legislature, but has never been
given serious consideration until
recently. 1t is without merit, and
is founded on little else than race
prejudice. The school taxes, as
now collected, are dot burden
some; and to restrict the support
of cOlOred schools to the taxes
paid by the blacks would simply
close them mp and deprive the
race entirely of school privileges.
Vardeman was elected COVER
nor of Mississippi on this issue,
openly asserting its logical con-
clusiOn that education makes the
negro worse, instead of better.
Since his election the negroes,
and especial y those of the better
class, are lie aving Mississippi in
such large Numbers as to embar.
rass the planters and Others in
need of labor. Bishop Galloway,
one of the m ost distinguished citi-
zsns of that state, recently de-
clared in an address before the
educational conference at Birming.
ham that few negroes in Missis-
sippi would not sell their property
and leave the state if they could
The Little Rock papers declare
that negroes are leaving that part
of Arkansas now, because they
fear the agitation of this and other
race issues here.
ASIDE from the moral and civic
question of the negro's right to
share without discrimination in
the public school funds, an ecOno.
mic question is involved that may
seriously affect the state. Labor
is already scarce, and for the labor
the negro has been doing there is
no satisfact Ory substitute. AS a
Southern Farmland he is vastly
superior to the Austrian, the
Italian, the Greek, or any other
foreigner known TO this section,
The maintenance of white Suprem.
acy aud the preservation of good
government in no wise depend
upon the separation Of the school
taxes, and agitation such as this
from which only harm can come,
ought to be discouraged by all
good citizens, in behalf of the
state Batesville Guard.
We fully agree with the Guard
in the above article. Any action
in the proposal of Senator Jobe
is improbable, unwise and to a
great degree selfish in it's aim to
deprive colored children, of what
little education that is already
given them.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh OF
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney liver and bladder remedy.
II corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and IS
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one,dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
coyery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR., Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Kilmer Swamp Root, and the
address, Binghamton, N. y, on every
bottle.

PHOTOGRAPHIC BIRDS.

rum Outln8.
What made me thrill with special excite
raent was the sight Of half dozen or so
Of large. rosy-pink birds quietly perched
uron the trees Just opposite US across the
barrier, tho roseats spoonbills on their
nesting Ground. What q spectacle-the
dark green mangrove foliage dotted with
ibises OF dazzling Wilderness, pink curlews'
(ths local namel and blue-tinted herons!
felt that had here reached the high water
mark OF spectacular sights in the bird
world. Wherever may penetrate in future
wanderinss I never hope to see anything to
surpaas OF perhaps to equal that upon
which than gazed- Years ago such sights
could be found all over Florida. This is the
last remnant and the last place Of refuge
OF hosts OF innocent, exquisite creatures
slaughtered for brutal millinery folly.
SO long as kept very quiet the birds did
not manifest much concern at my presence.
Climbing tree to get above the under
growth. screwed my 4x5 camera to a limb
and proceeded to take pictures of the sur
rounding birds. with telephoto attachment
and with long focus single lens. Then, with
this camera and the SKI, I followed along
the bayou, hoping to find some way to
cross. Every time I tumbled into mud
hole or snapped twig there was wild
confusion. The air was white with ibises.
Crowds of young ibises and herons scram-
bled out from the sea of nests above us
and climbed from branch to branch or
nuttered to the ground and went fiapping
across the mud to get out of the way

WILD FLOWER PHoroonApHs.


rFom the BOSTON dof1t0.
The wild flower photographer has a some
what shorter season than he who goes In
for landscape; nevertheless. In most parts
of the country he can count on eight work
ing months To my mind two of the most
important points in photographing q wild
flower are to show the kind Of place it
grows In. and to show the character Of the
flower ITSELF 1t Is better, think. to bring
out these two points in separate pictures as
1T is only in exceptional cases that 1t can
be done successfully in one.
It, for example. we photograph a swamp
to show the habitat of pickerel weed, the
flower itself will appear so small In the pic
ture that we can tell little of its growth or
structure My own plan ia to make q pic
ture OF the locality showing. II possible the
out typical specimen and make of that a
portrait which will reflect the character OF
the original.
When 1 have found bloodroot or other
wild flower which wish to photograph. 1
first walk around It to find the beat point
from which to take its portrait Having
found that point, I set up the camera and
FOCUS carefully. All SURROUNDINGS. such az

tetliGibility OF It. are carefully removed.
