One Day Last Week The General Fund
OF The State Was Depleted.

Last Fridays Little Rock Ga
zette said:
For the first time in many
years the general revenue fund
in the state treasury for several
hours yesterday afternoon was
practically depleted, there being
only 81 to the credit Of the fund
up to few minutes before the
hour arrived for the closing Of
the office, when the mails from
the north brought a letter from
Leon Mooney, sheriff Of Baxter
county, containing an enclosure
in the shape Of draft for W, 750,
which was placed to the credit Of
the fund.
The last warrant for the day
was presented shortly after 3
O'Clock by member Of the leg
islature, whose per diem lacked
81 Of cleaning up the entire bal.
anee Of tho general revenue fund,
After that time no one who called
upon the auditor with voucher
insisted upon the issuance Of o
warrant when informed Of the
depleted condition Of the general
revenue fund, No one cared to
have It said In tho future that he
drew out Of the revenue fund the
last dollar.

A recent compilation Of sta

velops some truths about Arkan-
sas which are not altogether to
the credit Of the state. Our rank
among the states is forty.two in
annual per capita of school funds,
our fund amounting to but S4,97
for each pupil. Nevada ranks
first in this comparison with
S3S.3l for each pupil. Arkansas
ranks twenty-third in salaries
paid to teachers, the average for
the state being S45,S5 q month.
She stands but one removeu
from the last place in the list
with regard to the length Of
school term, the average being
but 94 days out Of each year. We
stand twenty-fourth in school
population and have S3l1 teach
ers. Arkansas is one Of four
states not having u state board Of
