Tallahassee, Nov. 6.-State Super
irtendent Holloway has just re-
ccived the money from the interest
OF the principal of the school fund

basis of average daily attendance.

time was the largest in the history
of the fund, nearly $118,OOO. This
shows the fund is growing and the
interest rate increasing. The aver
age daily attendance as shown by
annual reports of the counties is also
the largest in the history of the
State, being over 10000. However,
the fund is increasing faster than

COAST LINE TO SOON
HAVE NEW LINE TO WEST

Jacksonville, Nov. 6.-AmOng the
important facts shown in the 'Pur-
pic Folder" of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway for October is that the
big system will give Southern and
Central Florida an outlet to the
great West at no very distant date,
cutting off more than one hundred
miles in freight and passenger SER
vice by obviating the necessity of
coming by Jacksonville.
The folder shows that the work of
building line from Dunellon, Polk
county. to Old Town, Lafayette
county, is being pushed, and at the
same time Perry is being connected
with Monticello. The closing of
these two gaps will give the Allan
tic Coast Line Railway a direct
South Florida connection with
Montgomery and points throughout
the West, for which the people of
South Florida have been longing for
years.
For long time after the compile
tion of the new line the great vol
ume of passenger traffic will move to
and from the State, via Jacksonville,
but eventually fast and through
trains will be run over the new line
