Special to the Ocala Banner:
Fessenden Academy will begin with
in the next few weeks the erection of
the Carnegie Library Dormitory
building. 1t will be provided with a
large general reading room, lecture
rooms and sleeping apartments for

education.
At present this school is the only
one insthe whole of South and Central

The School Discussion.
The Gainesville Sun says:

1.-The Jasper News shows no signs
! Of improvement-in fact is growing
more desperate each week and farther
from the facts"
Father from the facts" Ell? Facts
are just what the advocates Of the
! Buchanan law do not want.
If we should leave out the facts in
the case, the Buchanan law advocates
would smile on us approvingly, pat US
on the back, and call us a good fell
low.
But, as the accusation is made
that We are getting farther from the
facts we will try to state them in un-
deniable form:
The Buchanan law abolishes the
| colleges where the masses could send
their children and have them given a
good English education. This is a
fact.
1t confiscated the buildings and
grounds of these colleges which were
worth at least three hundred thous-
and dollars. This is fact.
1t establishes a University at
Gainesville for boys and a College at
Tallahassee for girls. This is fact.
1t requires applicants to pass an ap-
proved examination in the twelfth
year course of the public schools to
enter these institutions. This is a
fact.
The plans for buildings for the Uni
more than one million dollars This is
fact.
Good buildings and grounds worth
quarter million dollars are to be
abandoned. This is fact.
The University and College are to
receive all the money arising from the
Hatch and Morrill, funds. This is
fact.
The qualifications for admission de-
bar the children of the poor from re-
ceiving any benefits from the univer-
sity or college This is a fact.
Add all the amounts together which
will be bestowed on the university and
college and it will be seen that hum
dreds of dollars are being expended
on each student Of these institutions,
and thousands of dollasr on the 274
students which they contain. This is
a fact.
The common schools, where the
children of the common people are be-
ing educated, are taught from SO to
157 days in the year, only. This is a
fact.
There is expended, according to the
latest official report, but little over 81.
year on each pupil in the common
schools. This is a Fact
The school houses of the common
people are, many of them, but little
better than shacks and shanties. This
is fact.
The burden of taxation rests heav-
lest on the masses of the people and
they are the burden bearers for this
million dollar university and its II
students. This is a fact.
In view of these facts the Buchanan
law is an imposition on the common
people, and the taxing them and TAX
ing from them their hardearned dol
lars to support it, is legally robbery.

Nobody in Marion county, it seems,
wants to run for tax assessor, treasur-
er, member of the board of county
commissioners, member of the school
board. nor apparently for any of our
county offices. In former years there
was big scramble for these offices.
Our people must all be getting rich.
There is no other explanation for it.

Size of the Assessment in Hills
borough.

If you wish to sacrifice yourself by
running for Office in behalf of the
dear people," you'll have to contrib
ute to the expense of conducting the
primaries.
Above, as stated in the Times, is
the edict of the county democratic ex-
ecutive committee, following the is
suance of which the campaign COM
mittee of seven members have lost no
time in agreeing upon the amounts
which the candidates for various coun-
ty offices will be assessed.
Wilfred c. Clarkson, chairman of
the executive committee, gave these
figures to a Times representative this
morning, and they are published be-
low. AS yet, however, the committee
is naturally unable to know the exact
amount of expense that will be in
CURED. this being due to the fact that
it is not known whether two prima-
ries will be necessary or not Nor is
it known how many candidates there
will be, which is another difficulty in
making the assessments. Therefore
the assessments are made with the
understanding that, if any funds are
left over, they will be prorated and
returned to the various candidates.
The figures are herewith published
