it was christianity without Christ.

Mr.. Gilkey thought the road was a

that 1t would be great town builder,
but he wanted the New York financiers
to build it,
Or. Dawson and DR. Riddle both
made strong talks, setting forth the ad
vantages that would accrue to Chicka'
sha from the road. Rev. Johnson told
what interurbans had done for other
sections OF the country. He thought
they were worth more as town build
ers than steam railways. Rev Butler

AS a result OF the citizens meeting
al the New Star Theater yesterday
afternoon, it is believed that the re-
mainder OF the $l50,000 stock subscrip-
ton for the Chickasha- Sulphur inter-
urban will be placed.
Over one-half Of the required amount
has been subscribed and strong COM
mittee was appointed to complete the
work.
Sentiment in favor of the interurban
enterprise appears to have grown in
intensity since the last public meeting
was held and the general opinion
among the leading citizens and bust
ness men seems to be that the city
cannot afford to lose out on the propo-
sition.
The meeting yesterday afternoon
was presided over by Mayor Edwards,
who explained its object and invited
discussion. In keeping with previous
announcement no subscriptions were
asked or received, but the whole prop
osition was thoroughly discussed and
some who had been luke-warm on the
subject came away full of interurbar
enthusiasm.

OUR REAL PROBLEMS.

There was, according to the last
census, 1889 children in Alabama
of 5 to 10 years of age. inclusive
The total school enrolment in this
state as shown in the report of the
department of education for 1907
was 3s6.47S.
OF those enrolled. and this does not
imply average attendance, there were
25s,99S white children. There were
1858 white children who did not
even enroll, there being 392.6lG white
children Of school age.
OF the 33S,9SO Negro children of
school age there was an enrolment
Of 127,4SO. There were 111.5OO Negro
children who did not experience an
enrolment.
In this county. TallapoOsa. the de-
partment report states that the school
population Of whites is 1878 and
blacks 4,196. The total is 11.469. There
were enrolled 4.31s whites and 1856
Colored. Total enrolment, 1874. The
average attendance Of whites was D.
$50 anL Colored, 1928. the total being
4.7sS. The average length Of white
schools vas 100 days and OF Colored
schools Ss days
There are many counties in Ala
hama with the average length of
white schools being lower than 100
days and some as low as under so
days. OF course this low water mark
applies with even greater force to the
Negro schools.
OF the real attendance, the average
attendance throughout the state for.
let us say, 100 days in the year it
would be a liberal estimate to place
the number Of both races combined
somewhere about 100000. This leaves
1000 children in Alabama who are
neglected and most Of this number
growing up in ignorance.
In this while there is the red hot
crusade over prohibition and the ex-
tremes OF the one side and the other.
Then there is the ever present ''the
Negro question" While the rascally
politician grows into heated argument
over the liquor discussion and rents
the air with epithets hurled at the
Negro race. while this is going on.

problems. problems that 90 direct to
