ILLITERACY IN KENTUCKY,

keep facts before the people
till the people alter the facts"
There are ten of the best coun-
ties in Kentucky, noted for their
wealth, good roads, and historic
families, that show a total of
6,788 native white illiterates, of
native white parentage; just 90
less than the native white litter
ates of native white parents in
the whole state of Maine; nearly
twice as many as in Nebraska.
There are thirty-eight counties
in Kentucky in which the per-
centage of illiterate white
voters is twenty or more; in
eight of these the percentage is
thirty or more; in three it is
thirty-fve.
In 1900 the whole number of
illiterate white voters in Ken
lucky was 65,516, a humber at
least twice the size of the largest
plurality in a state election in re-
cent years.
The rural school census( white)
is a little over 81 per cent of the
whole school census of the state
There is scarcely so per cent of
the children of school age in
Kentucky in any school. What
shall be done to put more child
rem into the rural district schools,
to provide them with longer
terms, better school houses, bet
ter roads to travel on, and bet
ter teachers? The present law
permits any county to vote a
tax in better support of the pub
lie schools. Not a single county
in the state is now using that
privilege. Mason county has a
special county tax, but it was not
secured under the present state
law.
According to the last report of
the State Superintendent of
Public instruction, there are on
ly $40 white districts, out of a
total of 1885, that have a tax to
lengthen the term or increase
the salary.
The present term of the rural
school in Kentucky is only 12O
days. Southern School Journal

SKETCH OF STEPHEN II. FISHER.

On Monday evening, Deem
Der 2, 1907, as the sun sank in
golden west, death angels came
into our home and broke the fam
lily tie by taking from us our be-
loved father, Stephen Hardin
Fisher. He was born August %,
1926; died December 2, 1907,
making him 81 years three months
and nine days old. He made
a profession and joined the Bap-
fist Church in 1847 and lived a
true Christian for sixty years.
His death was due to paralysis.
He did not fear death, but pray
ed constantly to die. When he
would be suffering untold agonies
my mother would ask him if
he was not suffering great deal.
His answer would always b e,
yes" but my suffering is moth
ing compared to the glory that
awaits me in heaven.
He leaves a wife and twelve
children to mourn for him, but
our loss is his eternal gain. All
that loving hands and faithful
friends could do, was done, but
in vain. 1t is hard to conquer
the grim reaper Death.
We should think not of him as
dead, but as living; not as flow
er that has withered, but as one
that has been transplanted, touch
eddy devinehands and isblooming
in far richer colors and sweeter
shades. He is not lost to us who
have found Christ. He has only
gone before. Like a star. he has
vanished from our sight, to shine
brighter in that FAIRS creme
cline. May Coz help us to bear
the weight of our greatest sorrow,
for he is:
Safely, safely gathered in,
Far from sorrow, far from sin
No more sorrows, grief or fear, g.
No more sadness, no more tears,
For his life so old and fair
Now has passed from earthly care.
God himself his soul will keep,
Giving dear father peaceful sleep.
A Loving Daughter

A GENEROUS BEAR

When the great earthquake and re-

cisco. the stricken people turned with
empty hands to the fire insurance
companies for relief, confidently ex-
pecting that in their hour of need the
protection for which they had been
patiently paying through the pros
porous years would be promptly
forthcoming. But, alas! disappoint-
metn followed disaster, The compa-
ries in many cases were unequal to
the occasion, and in many others un-
willing to make good Compromise
and reputation were the order OF
the day. At this crisis, prompted by
q rare sense OF fairness and n COM
men1able appreciation of obligation,
one company rose in it's great
strength and distributed s2.555,291.-
90 amongst its pollcyholders, paying
their claims in full, asking no favors
and eXacting no discounts. And this
fair and generous action at once

of San Francisco at the very head OF

MIA. This company now has an agen-
