To The Patrons of Schools

Monday November the 5th is the
day for the white schools Of the county
to open. So let me urge you to use
every effort possible to put your child
ren in school at the beginning and keep
them there through the entire session
Some seem To have the impression that
the schools have been cut down to five
months This is q mistake We an
nounced that the schools would run five
months and as much longer as tho
funds justify 1t is our intention to run
the schools six months and we will pro-
vided we get as much money from the
state as we got last year. The funds
from the state will be divided on the
basis of the number OF educable child
rem and as the state appriporiation is
the same as for the last two years, and
the number of educabe children have
increased the amount per capital will
necessarily be less and unless the per
cent of increase in Lee county is equal
to the percent of increase in the State
we will not draw as much money from
the state as we have been getting
The laws have been changed provid-
ing for an increase in the salaries of
first grade teachers and we have in
cfeaSee Cnc SdldrleS OF teachers DIS
shown by the following figures:
The first year of my administration
the teachers of the county received
Sl619l. 80; the second year S17775 6S.
and last year $1J58o. 50 will see
thrt teachers salaries have, been in
creased $780, Ga in the last two years
and pet we find it hard to supply the
schools with teochers after increasing
the salaries The price of labor in all
lines haye increased and some of our
best teachers are quitting the profes-
sion and taking up other occupations.
We have given to the schools of the
county in the way of better houses and
equipments. S395l maintained a six
months school with increased salaries
to teachers and used every dollar of
school funds at our command where we
thought it would benefit the children
most. If the patrons will see 10 it that
their children are regular in attendance
they will get more benefit from the
public schools and teachers can do bet
ter work. Let us all work ogether for
better schools. Any time can serve
you command me. | shall give my EN-
tire time to the schools of my county.

FoUND A WHITE RAcE.

| Learned men. in a learned manner. are fond of discussing the. origin of the human race as a whole. and of the white race in particular. It is held by othnologists pretty generally that what is known as the Indo- European race had its origin somewhere in the high Hands of Central Asia. and thence the white people spread over Europe and into various other portions of the world. But Of late there has arisen a club of scientists to claim that the first home of the white race was in the Scan, dInavian peninsula. That would no
 so disquieting. but they also d .e that the white man Is nothir a freak of nature. They asszm Eat the original human was cit black or very dark brown. ar q 5rst of ali. they tell us that ir- SC of time the white will dissF and all human kind win be eF brown or black This is4not a table reflection, but we have the -sfaction of reflecting that it Is all guess work.
 Now comes a Prussian scientist and explorer. Professor Gruenwedel, who has been travelling In Chinese Turkes- tan. in Asia. who claims to have found indisputable evidence that the coun- try was anciently inhabited by a race of people with reddish hair and blue eyes, plainly q white race. He finds. further that the prehistoric temples still existing there were built by the same race. That country has, fror. ear Hest historical times. been inhabited by an entirely different race from those indicated by the Professor, and if he is correct in his discoveries, the fact tha, 6 white race lived in that region thou sands of years ago, and a race possess ing an advanced civilization, as eviden. ced by the works left behind them, il will naturally set the ethnologists of on new trial. If such a people real. 1y existed there Tn prehistoric times where dId they come from, why dit they leave their Asiatie home and wha became of them? These are questions which will come up to vex ethnologist, and add to the discussion of a vexet question. Possibly the explorer may malse other and further discoveries which will tend to throw light on tn, subject.

 Beyond doubt The Montgomery Ad- yertiser is the best paper printed in most progressive daiiiss In aIl the land. It stands for pure democracy nd cleah men In ogicial positions for good gov ernment and a higher civilization. IL has no compromise to make with fla natics abd jaoooins or with thoss who are, tryii 2 to lea the 'eople estray.
 It adve cates truth and justice, bclley. ing that corporations and individuals should be dealt with alike --eairly. hon estly and imrartially.

 Not always right. but always honest it occasionally in its splendid editorials almos. convtnces us that white is black Now that The Advertiser reaches Moulton the day of publication. it should have the riGht of way to every nome ana every office, be read and sup of our community.
