Appropriation for Schools Exhausted

For the information of all con-
cerned, please allow me to state
through your columns that the ap-
preparation made by the last Legis-
lature to aid weak schools has been
exhausted. This is exceedingly graf
flying to school authorities over the
State on account of the lively inter
est which was awakened in the rural
communities to get the benefit of the
State money. The total appropria-
ton WAS $4,000, and our last check
was received Monday morning, max
ing total of 1,1i9.02 for the weak
schools of OcOnee. IT is earnestly
hoped that the Legislature will not
only renew the former amount, but
that they will see fit to double it,
