ALMOST, BUT NOT QUITE, MIR.
 COMER ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY

Admitted to the Union In 1919. the State never had a public school un- til 1854. The war came on and exist ing conditions were destroyed. The history of popular education, MT. Hill declared. dated from the year of 1875 when the wealthy class and the poorer class joined hands and carried 1t for ward. He quoted figures showing that in all the States each child was re- ceivfng more money for school pur- poses than the children of Alabama and New Mexico were receiving.
 At the same time he showed that more rapid advances has ben made in educational matters in the past two or three years than in any other State. It was demonstrated. too. that while each child, all in all, got more for school purposes than in Alabama, that no State as a State was doing more for education than Alabama. He quo ted the startling figures showing that there were in the State more than 1o0, 900 persons. white and over ten years of age, who could neither read nor write.
 What was needed. to carry forward educational reform in Alabama was better supervision, better teachers and better school houses. He took up and explained and discussed each of these subjects. He declared that there were in actual truth only three county su- peTlntenQenlS OL III <tAaOdlla and they were located in Jefferson. Mobile and Perry counry. In each of those counties the superintendent was on salary and the county demanded and received all of his time. This was the true and the proper way.
 Mir. Hill argued strongly that 1t was the duty of Butler County to vote the one mill tax. He explained the nature of the tax and showed that 1t was the sole benefit of the schools of the county. He quoted figures showing that Butler county was getting con siderable more school money from the state Treasury than 1t was paying In. 1 After speaking Mir. Conner devoted the afternoon to seeing and meeting | fine voters of Greenville on the streets. He was glad to see them all. He | looked very much like candidate. | A week ago Lieutenant Governor Cunningham spoke on the local taxa l tion question in Butler county at | lGreenyille. It was commented on here | today that at that time he did not l aIlude to any political matters or dis
 cuss questions wound up in the pros-
 nective contest for 0overnor. From
 start to finish, 1t was said his speech
 was educational and for local taxa l fion.
