A FINE SHOWING.

The financial statement OF the
Board Of Public Instruction Of Alach-
ua County, which appears in today's
sun, certainly reflects great credit
upon the management OF the county's
school finances during the past three
and half years.
When DR.. J. l.. Kelley assumed the
duties OF county superintendent IN
January. 1905, the previous financial
statement, published November Goth.
1904. showed net Indebtedness OF
s77. 1880, whereas, II the State had
met It's obligations to the county, the
statement published today would
show the board not only out Of debt.
but With cash balance Of $3,O2216
to their credit. The State Is due the
board on state aid for 1867 s2.l70;
for State aid for past year on eight
per cent average attendance clause,
$4,000; for senior and junior schools,
1880, making total Of $3.50. or
Is3022.f6 more due the board by the
State on July than the net indebted
ness. II can readily be seen that II
the State had kept It's obligations 10
the county. as Il was naturally sup
posed would be done, and the taxes
paid as they should have been, every
warrant would have been cancelled
and the board would have had nice
cash balance. The board had conf
dence In the State, and hence had the
schools taught and paid the teachers
their salaries.
Since making UP the statement as
required BY law the taxes OF the s.
A. L. railway, amounting to S7O92.l9,
have been received. and this amount
does not appear IN the statement. The
@. a a. taxes, amounting to about
$1,000, are stili unpaid. and had these
amounts been paid prior to July I,
1905, added 70 what the state Is due.
the board would have had cash bal.
ance Of sll.ll4.3S 10 It's credit on July
I, 1908. as against a net Indebtedness
Of s7T25s6O July /. 1904, the great
difference OF sss.ss7s5.
This II certainly monument 10 the
credit oS supt. Kelley and the Board
Of Public Instruction. especially 10
the efficient chairman, r. p. Weeks.
who has been a member and chair.
man OF the board doring the entire
time.
That the people made no mistake In
electing Or. Kelley In 1904 Is shown
BY the results Of his administration
and Il Is therefore no wonder that 80
competent an oTIicial should have been
reelected the present year against
the very strongest candidate that
could have been brought out against
him. Not only has be been instrument.

been for brisk work back OF Happy Jack on the
part Of the Highlanders, the result might have

let the ball get by him the local second baseman
perched on the second bag Willie Keller, arguing
that this the proper time to settle the after
moons dispute. laced a nice single along the path
