Money for Discharged Prisoners.

Tom lyman, warden of the Colorado
penitentiary, believes the released con-
vict should be given money upon his
discharge. Success Magazine quotes
him as follows:
"And when the prisoner has been re-
formed strengthened in body and
mind, taught means of livelihood and
the habits of industry then?
Must he go out with nothing in his
pockets but his hands? don't think
SO. No fair man can think SO.
1.-THE released convict must have
some money, enough at least to tide
him over the first few months s. to KEEP
him from feeling like a vagrant-te
prevent his dispair and relapse. l an
in favor of a law that will pay the mer
certain salary toward the end of the
sentence say one dollar day for the
last sixty days 1t is my endeavor tt
have every prisoner go back into thu
world from the ranch or road-clear
eyed, brown-faced- with at least TEN
porary means of self-support. Heaver
knows these fellows earn the money.

Teachers Salaries.

1t has been charged by circular
which is being circulated throughout
the county, that negro teachers in
Grenada county are being paid too
much and white teachers are not being
paid enough.
1t is to be regretted that this ques-
ton has been injected into the cam
paign. For the benefit of those who
may want to know in regard to this
matter, the following facts are given
as shown by my last annual report:
Average monthly salaries paid teach
ers-white, $3s; colored, SIS.
Per capita each child enrolled white,
SO; colored, 81 80.
Per capita each child in average at
tendance white, Sl3 80; colored, SO "a
The report made four years ago gave
the salary of the white teacher as be-
ing $36 per month, while the salary of
the colored teacher was only SIT per
month. All other reports are similar
Colored teachers who taught twenty
years ago for $50 per month, are now
being paid only $40 per month.
| Colored assistant teachers receive
from SIS to 81 per month.
The first year was in office, the av-
erage monthly salary of the colored
teacher was reduced from 500 SO to
SIS 33 per month. difference of 81 63.
The records in this Office are open to
public gaze.
Sincerely yours,
V. r. James.

The Rain and the CROPS.

The outcome of the cotton crop in
this section is indeed problematical.
The persistent rains of the past week
have no doubt done no small amount of
damage. Many farmers report heavy
shedding. It is we'll known that the
month of August is the most critical
time with the cotton crop. Up to this
time the prospect has been very fiat
tering indeed.
The continued showers which began
last Friday night have flooded the low
lands, but the precipitation has not
been great enough to cause the rivel
and the creeks to overflow.

Gard From Y. R. James.

To the people of Grenada county:
Since have been your public ser
want the following has been accom- &
plished for the public schools:
Had $500 appropriated to build, re-
pair and furnish school houses for white
children. twenty-five new school
houses built for white children.
Twenty schools supplied with patent
desks.
Eight schools supplied with Libraries.
Each library contains about fifty VOL
umes of choice literature.
The school term has been extended
from four to six months. The salaries
of white teachers have been raised and
are paid promptly at the end of each
month.
A live Corn and Pig club has been or
ganized. I leave it to the public to say
what have had to do with these i'm
provements.
have not had time to reply to the
many circulars which are being issued
during the closing days of the cam
paign, all of which reflect upon the ad-
minstration of the public schools of
Grenada county. But desire to state
that the 18th section school fund is in
the hands of the board of supervisors.
The board lends out the money and col
lects the interest.
That the interest has not been avail
able for school purposes, is no fault of
the county superintendent. The law in
regard to the 18th section fund is COM
plicated, and for that reason the fund
has been kept intact, and one board has
passed it up to another. have made
several efforts to have the interest
paid into the school fund and had an
act passed by the last legislature au-
thorizing the board of supervisors to
pro rate the accrued interest among
the different townships This will soon
be done
We have nearly $4,000 school fund on
hand, yet we have all the summer
schools to be taught out and the teach
ers must be paid from this fund. Be-
sides, all school expenses will be paid
from this fund until the first day Of
October, when the school year ends.
We will carry over small surplus,
but this will be necessary in order to
pay the teachers promptly when theiI
reports are presented.
The schools are being run on cash
basis.
( desire to thank the good people OF
Grenada county for the loyal support
given me on August /. May have
e your support in the second primary? II
i not, give me your esteem, love ans
confidence.
: Cordially and sincerely,
V. R. James.
