Captain Wynne was always a closa

Captain Wynne was always close friend of The Times and It's editors, as we'll as scores of other citizens here and many of tile negroes and poorer classes have cause to revere his memory.
 We extend sincere and heartfelt sympathy to his family to whom he was everything near and dear a lov- ing, devoted husband, kind, indulg- ent, painstaking father, who took great interest in the future of his children and guided them by his wis dom, placing them in the front rank of fine young business men.
 We could write much of his splen- did career, but time and space for bid. Suffice 1t that he is due much of the credit for the upbuilding of For rest City, and loved her people. He had generous heart, and will be sorely missed by all with whom he was associated.
 Peace to his ashes.

 Captain Wynne was public spirit ed citizen and in every movement that was for the upbuilding or better ment Of Forrest City or St. Francis county, was one of the first to take hold of 1t. He was still interested in the county in the way of real estate, and old St. Francis and her people had warm spot in his heart.

UNDER NEW AMENDMENT.
School Districts May Vote Maximum Tax of Mills on May 18th, Recent Constitution by
 Amendment.

On Saturday, May 18th, will be held school district in the State, and at the same time the people of the State
 will have an opportunity to show
 their appreciation of the recent act Of the legislature which amended article IA, section }, of the State Con stitution in such way as to raise the
 maximum amount which may be
 voted by school district for school
 purposes fIom to mills. At the same time vote will be taken on
 the length of the school term and the
 proportion of the tax levied which
 will go to teachers and to the build
 ing of school houses.
 The act of the present legislature changed the law in regard to the
 school tax in no way except to raise
 the maximum amount which may be
 voted. This tax is voted every year,
 and may be changed from year to
 year at the will of the people. It is
 believed that the change in the law will result in many school districts voting the full 7-mill tax, a thing
 which the educators of the State heartily favor.
 The same amendment provides that the regular tax for the support of the common schools shall be raised from to 3 mills. This matter of course was settled with the act of the legis- lature, is general and cannot be changed or voted upon by the school districts. In circular which R. II Parham, county examiner of Pulaski county, has issued, he has this to say in regard to the amendment:
 An amendment to the Constitu- tion permits every district to vote a special tax of mills for school pur- poses. The voters of every school dis trict are urged to vote d tax up to the Constitutional limit, so that we may have longer terms, better school l houses, better furniture and better pay for teachers"
