There were 1906 pupil children

with a daily attendance of 1923,
making something like one four
tn attendance. There was col
lected and spent in the county
for school purposes, building. re-
pairing ETC.. included $25170.47,
making a cost of more than SIC
per pupil in school. Should we
have had a full attendance the
cost would have been less than
Sc. Now, this cost must go on
from year to year. 1t costs just
as much to supply the schools
for this one fourth of our child
rem as it does for the whole num-
Der. At little more expense to
the county this year, we are GO

0'REAR Wins
THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
FOR GOVERNOR.

Judge Edward C. O'Rear, of
Montgomery county, swept Ken
lucky in the race for the Repub-
licau nomination for Governor
last Saturday, receiving enough
instructed votes to insure his
nomination on the first ballot.
The returns are not yet complete
but enough have been received
to make O'Rear's nomination alb
solutely certain.
O.Rear's instructed vote alone
is almost twice as much as the
combined votes of E. T. Franks
and Lieutenant Gov. w. H. Cox.
With the returns complete. o.
Rear is sure to have close to l.
500 votes.
With only six out of 119 coun-
ties to be heard from O'Rear's
is 1894, Cox's APT, and Franks
364. Eight counties, having a
total vote of 120, send uninstruct-
ed delegations, all but two of
which will probably line up with
the Franks and Cox combination.
LATER, Wednesday noon o.
Rear was nominated on 1st Bal
lot this morning and his nomi-
nation was made unanimous.
