There are some very strong reasons
why Dr.. Hill should receive the graft

people of til is county, For the frs
time, in many years, has the honor OF
a nomination for Congress come to a
native of Prince Georges, and local
pride ought to stimulate our citizens
to elect him. Apart from the fact
that a Congressman, possessing pab
lie spirit and patriotic devotion to the
county of his birth, would be Of ines
timable benz fit to the people, Or
Hill has we'll established his willing
ness and ability to serve the public
whenever be could. We deisre espt CT
ally in this article to emphasize the
fact that he has rendered a public ser
vice that shonld be estimated at Its
proc. ,a,ue. in having for the past
Twelve y.als bone the brunt OF the
labor and responsibility in organizing
and directing the Agricultural Fair AS
ISOLATION of Southern Maryland. II
was an enterprise that no one dared
to undertake, until DR.. Hill led the
way; and, yet, with all the d'sadva'

he has had to ccr,end. lie Las with re-
markable success, coDsiu.i,ng the con

To the Honorable Board of School Commits
siOners:
| respectfully submit the above state.
ment of the finances or the School Board
for the past fiscal year. l desire you to
note that last year for the first time in
three or four years, it has been possible
to keep the disbursements for the white
schools within the amount of available
resources. Two years ago, when the
present Board went into Office, the debt
was nearly $4,000. A numter of new
schools were then opened and it was nee
essary to increase the debt 81, 500 the next
wear. This Indebtedness Of $1,000 still
exists in the form of Bank Loans. The
balances, however, in the Book fund and
Manual Training Fund are increasing
from year to year, but under the law can
not be diverted.
The colored fund, unfortunately, is in
bad condition. The receipts from the
State for colored schools three years ago
amounted to over $9,OOO-an amount suf-
fcient to pay all running expenses: Last
year, in consequence Of the decision OF
the Court Of Appeals as to the apportion
ment, the total amount received from the
State was only $3,0O6. The cost of run
ming the 80 colored schools now in oper-
alton for ST months last year was, for
salaries, incidentals, fuel and repairs
alone, 1886 81 An Indebtedness OF
So, 400 was therefore incurred last year for
the colored schools, which amount added
to the deficiency of the previous year,
makes total Indebtedness for colOred
schools of 5000.
This Indebtedness of b Board
may be reduced somewhat from our ordi-
nary resources next year, but it is mani
fest that not only is rigid economy neces-
sary, but also that the demands Of the peo-
pie for more schools and increased school
facilities must be more reasOna BILE. Sew
en- new schools with eight teachers have
been opened within the last two years.
The new School at Hyattsville under
the law is to- be built and furnished out of
the proceeds of sale of Bonds; but debt
of $500 interest per annum for 30 years
is to be met and sinking fund is to be
provided to pay the Bonds at maturity
The County Commissioners have decide
to make noprovision for the first years
payment and requested the School Board
to take it out of the premium, and If it is
not paid out of the premium, it will have
to be taken from the white school fund
given to US to pay the teachers, VIII ich is
specific levy for specific purpose and it
is a grave question, if the School Board
can divert funds.
Respectfully Submitted,
