Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
The state superintendent of public
instruction will issue a biennial report
this year of the scholastic population
of Arkansas, the enrolment in the
public schools and the average daily
attendance, and what ger cent the av-
erage daily attendance is of the en-
rollment, and this report will be much
quoted, probably to the disadvantage
Of the educational interest CT the
state
AS under the present system of ag-
riculture, it seems necessary for the
rural districts to divide their schools
iEto summer and a winter term; and
since a great many families farm
rented land, and there is great deal
of moving each year, it seems to me
that this biennial report of daily av-
erage attendance and per cent of at
tendance of enrolment is somewhat
misleading.
The biennial report is made upon
the total enrolment for the scholastic
year, without regard to the fact that
part of the pupils enrolled in sum-
mer terms will move out of the dis
trict before or during the winter, and
during the winter term a number of
pupils will move into the districts and
start to school, which augments the
enrolment but diminishes the average
daily attendance and per cent of at
tendance.
Therefore, the biennial report is not
a true index of the educational inter-
est of the people of the state. To il
lustrate my statement that the super
report is not true index
Of the condition, enclose a report of

rollment, average daily attendance

enrolled 101 pupils at the summer
term, Sc at the winter term, but the
total enrolment of different pupils
was 1T and the biennial report will
be based upon the greatest number
enrolled, which makes the average
very low. Of that III pupils 16 did
rot go day of the two and one-half
months summer term and went only
the latter part of the winter term,
moving into the district late, while
about Is or Is pupils enrolled in the
summer term moved out of the dis

GRACE on STAND IN
DlSPENSARY fROBE
Sensational Affidavit From Charleston
Liquor Dealer Read Before
Commission.

Columbia, June 1S.-Mayor Grace, OF
Charleston, took the stand before the
legislative investigation committee at
1890 o'clock. He said that he was
willing to tell all that he knew OF the
dispensary situation in Charleston.
At this point contest was preclpl'
tated by R. H. Welch, attorney for
Chief Constable Stothart, who ques-
toned the right of the committee to
question Mayor Grace concerning the
present day dispensary situation in
Charleston. This the committee col
sidered a most important question.
An executive session was held today
bv the committee, and it was decided
70 hear Mayor Grace's testimony.
Mayor Grace suggested that the
committee subpoena Mr. Stothart. He
said that he wanted Mr.. Stothart to
be present to see whether he would
deny the charges, and the committee
thought that the Grace testimony
should be given first.
Mayor Grace reviewed his relation
with. Governor Blease and told of the
broken promises by Blease in connec-
ton with the appointment Of con-
stables. He specified the promises by
Governor Blease to leave the situation
in Charleston to the local COVER ament.
When the question Of giving names
to substantiate his testimony was rails
ed by F. NJ. Cary, member of the
committee, Mayor Grace invited the
committee to come to Charleston and
take the evidence of parties who he
said he felt sure would, testify in sub
sanitation of what he had said in re-
gard to Chief Constable Stothart de-
manding $3.50 graft on certain day.
Mayor Grace said that Blease told
him that Ben Stothart was his best
friend. Mayor Grace gave in detail
the broken promise of Blease. He re-
lated how he finally broke with Blease
and said that he had never worn the
uniform as a lieutenant colonel.
An affidavit from ]. J. Miller, part
ner in wholesale liquor house in
Charleston, who testified that he was
forced to protect his customers by
collecting s5 and $40 for each one
per month.
He turned this over to a partner
of the firm and he in turn gave it to
Ben Stothart, the chief constable OF
Blease Other matters were read by
Mayor Grace. Allegations to show the
graft the Charleston constabulary
were receiving were recited by Mayor
Grace and he was still on the stand
when the committee recessed.
That the dlSpenSary constaDleS IN
Charleston drew from $1,000 to $4,000
a month graft" from blind tigers;
that Chief Stothart had told a party on
the train that he had been promised a
pardon if he put Jim Crocker and
myself out of the way, that know too
much and would talk were sensa-
tional statements contained in an afl-
davit of ]. J. Miller, submitted to the
investigating committee by Mayor
Grace, in attempting to show how
Blease's constables were grating.
