Representative Cartwright of
Stone county is the author of a
proposed amendment to the state
constitution affecting taxes paid
by railroads to the school fund.
Under the present system that
art of the railroad taxes paid
into the school fund goes into the
School districts through which
the roads pass. Mr.. Cartwright's
Resolution changes the system so
HAT the railroad taxes devoted to
fhe school fund shall be distribu-
Ted in a general manner, and not
confined to the districts through
which. the railroad runs. This
proposed amendment ought to
meet favor with the people if
they should be allowed to eX-
Dress themselves upon it at the
ballot. 1t is just. 1t happens in
many counties, Sharp not ex-
cepted, that districts through
which the railroad runs, have
always good sum of money in
the county treasury, while one
adjoining, through which the
Railroad does not run, can hardly
lave a term of school lasting
three months on account of a
lack of funds.

THE BRIDGE AT WILLIFORD.
Railroad Company Offers To Furnish
Bridge At That Place For $1,000.

The last issue of the Hardy
Herald said:
From reliable sources we un.
derstand that the citizens of
Williford and territory tributary
to that town have for some time
been in communication with the
Frisco railroad officials, relative
to furnish a bridge to be erected
across Spring river at that place.
That the Railroad company first
offered to furnish the bridge for
$4,000, Not being contented
with the proposition the energetic
people of that part of Sharp
county have kept the matter be-
fore the railroad officials, until
they have convinced the said
officials that it will be to the in
terest of the Railroad company to
have the bridge put up, and the
Railroad company now proposes
to furnish a heavy, substantial,
steel bridge, 1856 feet long for ST.,
900, and the people of Williford
and the territory tributary there
to propose to buy the bridge and
donate it to the county, if the
County Court will proceed at
once to let the contract for erect
ing the bridge.
They urge the court to move at
once, while the proposition of the
Railroad company to furnish the
bridge for $1,000 holds good. II
may not be convenient for the
Railroad company to hold this
proposition open indefinitely, and
should the proposition be with
drawn, the county would be un-
der the necessity of paying full
value for the bridge, and in that
case, and in the case Of much
delay, the people Of Williford and
vicinity might not be willing to
buy the bridge and donate IL to
the county. In view Of these
facts, ii appears to US, that now
is the time to proceed.
The proposition to furnish the
bridge for less than half of its
actual value is certainly liberal
on the part of the Railroad COM
pany, and the proposition by the
people Of Williford and vicinity
to buy and donate the bridge to
the county Is certainly liberal on
their part, and it appears that no
more can reasonably be asked Of
either the Railroad company or
the people.
II is a foregone conclusion that
there is to be a bridge across
Spring river at Williford, because
1t is 30 much needed by so many
people that the public will not
wait much longer, and as tho
proposition il tangible and
favorable now is the time TO move
and complete the much needed
public Improvement.
