HALF MILLION is GIVEN
A YEAR TO NEGROES
Charge Made in NOrthlIS
Wholly False

State School Commissioner Pound
has replied to prejudiced Northern
publications making the absurd
charge that Georgia has been taking
money paid into the state treasury by
negroes and using it for the education
of white children, while the education
of the blacks is left to the funds re-
ceived from the Northerners
Prof. Pound hits this statement a
hard knock.
AS matter of fact, figures show
that Georgia is spending two and a
half times the total amount paid into
the state treasury by the negroes, up
on negro education alone, and more
than four times as much as the ne
groes pay for educational purposes.
The value of all the property in the
state owned by negroes and returned
for taxation in 1909 was $27,O42,672,
which at mills brings the state $780,
21336 for all state purposes-educa-
tion and everything else. But only
$48,676 of this property belongs to
the educational fund, the balance go
ing to other purposes, the general ex-
penses of the state.
The same year the negroes paid ap-
proximately $4,000 in poll taxes,
which goes to education, making a
total of $123,675 for that purpose, or
of $210,213 for all purposes.
AS against this, the state pays negro
teachers in the common schools of the
state total of $479,269 annually, in
addition to which it pays $4,000 to the
negro industrial school at vannah,
$7,255 to the colored department of the
school for the deaf, and $1,000 to the
colored department of the academy for
the blind
1t will be apparent, therefore, that
such charges as are being passed
around by the prejudiced Northern or
gans are preposterous.
