OFFICERS FIND STILL
IN FULL OPERATION
Two Raids Made by Revenue Officers
in Observation-Disclosures
Give BANQUET

Florence, December 11.-(Special.)-T
United States revenue officers raided a
suspected place on Tuesday afternoon and
captured two stills near Pruiton. The
officers were w. II. Chinault and s. p.
Jones. Fearing resistance. they carried
two special officers with them.
On Monday the officers found a large
still in full operation in the back yard of
Mrs. Robertson, who declared she knew
nothing of its existence, although 1t was
in plain view. between the residence and
the barn. Three barrels of whisky and
number of jugs full of whisky were cap
tured. Mrs. Robertson Is a widow about
60 years old. The still was brought to
Florence, but no one was arrested Inc
same officers made a raid toda yand CAP
tured moonshiner named Sterling
Sledge. The still was in operation when
the officers quietly surrounded the place,
and the man gave himself up without
resistance.

BLACKS OUTNUMBER
WHITE CHILDREN

Jackson, Miss, December 11.-(Specia1.)
There is an article going the rounds of
the state press to the effect that there are
more white children in Mississippi than
black, and yet that the negroes are get
ting the lions share of the public school
fund. That statement Is not true
The last enumeration of educable chill
dren in Mississippi places the total at
1885, and of that number 425.967 are
black and 311,3s9 are white children. This
means there are 11457s more negro chill
dren in the state than there are white
children of educable ages to q years.
In 40 of the 70 counties of Mississippi
there are 1880 white educable children
to $50. 400 negro children, which means 22O,-
$50 more negro children than white chill
dren.
In nine of the 70 cohnties the white and
negro children number about the same,
that is, nearly equal, SO that In only 80
counties do the white children outnumber
the colored children.
These figures are taken from the last
census of the educable children of the
state, and are as near correct as Is pos
sible to give them.
