School Fund Facts.

Col. II. NJ. Street. of Meridian,
one Of the most prominent finan-
cicrs in the State, has made a tabu-
lated statement showing the in
capabilities in the school fund distri-
button, and insists that the methods
should be changed so that more
counties would be compelled to pay
for their school facilities. Accord
ing to his statement, there are twen-
ty-six counties in Mississippi which
draw annually from the State treas
ury for school purposes alone &c.
600 more than they pay in from
every source, while there are twenty
six other counties which pay into the
State treasury about $4,000 more
than they draw out. This leaves
twenty-eight counties to pay for
their own schools and also to fur
nish all the money to carry on the
State government. Col. Street holds
that this is very unjust and unequal
and is apt to place deficit on the
State.

Good Roach Movement,

Interest in good roads has been
growing some in Mississippi of late,
and the boards of supervisors of
more than one county have adopted
special orders directed to their con-
tractors or oycrseers. In Jefferson
and Tate counties the boards of SILL
pervisors INDUCED in some very
plain talk, telling the contractors
that if they do not put their roads
in good condition at once, they will
hear something still more unpleas-
ant. In Yazoo county, the good
roads question has come to the front
so very positively that the board of
supervisors have ordered an election
held on September 3 to decide
whether or not the county shall
abandon the old slip-shod method
for the contract system. The SUI
pervisors of Simpson county having
had their attention directed to the
terrible condition of the roads in
that county, have ordered the over,
seers TO get to work at once, or SUI
fer the consequences when circuit
court shall have convened.

prises.

Another cannaion for Longer Schools

! Another Campaign for Longer Schools
State Superintendent of Educa-
ton Whitfield has begun another
campaign for longer school terms
and will have a petition presented
to the supervisors of all the counties
in the State asking that the eXten-
sion of the school term be voted and
that the county levy be increased
for this purpose. The following let
ter was mailed out last week to the
prominent citizens of the different
counties:
81 enclose herewith the blank petit
ton addressed to the board of super
visors of your county, asking that
honorable board to levy tax for the
purpose of extending the school term
| also inclose some arguments in favor
Of the longer school term.
Under the law passed in 1904 the
board of supervisors can appropriate
as much as $3.50 out of the balance
in the school fund to new one. The
money raised by this local tax can be
spent as desired in building larger
or repairing school houses.
"As you doubtless know, am de-
voting practically my entire time to
this movement, and I write you this
letter to ask you to help me in this
great work. Will you not see the
taxpayers of your neighborhood and
vicinity and as many others as posi-
bic and get them to sign this peti.
ton?
81 have discussed this question be-
fore thousands of people during this
year and have taken a vote on the
proposition at each meeting. So far
not a vote has been cast against me.
"Our people are practically unani-
nous on the proposition. If you will
undertake this work, please notify me
at Jackson, and be certain to send
your petition to me at Jackson by the
25th of August so that | can get all
the petitions together and have them
placed before the board of supervisors
a; their September meeting"
