 SHARE S45,OOO Jefferson to Receive Portion When Collector Settles
 With Fund. INCLUDE IN TOTAL AMOUNT HELD HERE . 'Twas Never Intention of State Board to Attempt to Exclude . Jefferson From the
 Apporti0nment.

Jefferson county was included in the apportionment of the state school fund for the year 1914 which was made yesterday. The fund was al lo1ted on the basis of scholastic pop ulation. there being $2.05 for each child of scholastic age as shown by the recent enumeration.
 Jefferson county will receive from the state $45,500, and this amount will be paid into the county fund as soon as Tax Collector Edgar Brewster pays into the state school fund the $47,- 1944 45 collected in common schol taxes in this county. The sheriff, several of his bondsmen and direct- ors of the Bank of Pine Bluff held a conference yesterday. and it is eN- pected .Jefferson's settlement with the state will be made in few days. As soon as the money is paid in, war ram for this oounty's share will be drawn
 This arrangement was satisfactory to County Judge c. M. Philpot, Secre- tary Harry Hanf, Superintendent Junius Jordan and Director w. F. Coleman of the city school board, Cir cult Clerk G. F. I.ytle and Hugh Fox. a surety on the tGX collectors bond, who constituted a deleation ap- bearing before the state board in be- half of Jeffers on county
 Attorney-General Moose approved the action, upholding the legality of including the amount due from lief ferson in the fund as though paid in. the apportionment on this total and the decree that .Iefferson's quota would be withheld until the amount due is paid into the state fund. This plan was determined upon to avoid keeping the $47,194 to be paid by the tax collector of this county from ly ing idle throughout the year, and at the same time it increases the pro rata for each child.
 "H was never the intention of the board to attempt to exclude Jefferson county from participation in the ap- portionment of whatever funds were on hand" said County Judge Philpot upon his return to the city yesterday afternoon. '"rhe officials in the state office told me a wrong construc- ton was placed upon statement bN the newspaper men; that they tolc the reporters Jefferson's portion would be withheld until the amount collected in this county had been pai6 into the state treasury, but had never declared that Jefferson would not bt included in the distribution. There is no authority. for such action. ant they know it."
 Judge Philpot said the local com mittee agreed to the plan decided up

LABOR DAY IN PINE BLUFF A GREAT SUCCESS  From Early Morn Until Midnight Joyous Crowds Throng Streets.
 </ ENTERTAINMENT
 OF HIGH ORDER Only Incident of lntoward Nature Was Sudden Illness of Gov.
 Hays Fireworks
 Delight.

Pine Bluff Organized Labor addea ano.her success to it's long list of achievements in the great celebration held under its auspices here yester- day. But one incident accurred to mar the day-thf sudden illness suffered by the most 4istinguished guest, Gov. GeoTgyT Aays. ,,,o arrived with Mrs. IfayE Sunday evening, was at tacked yestertEy forenoon. Despite his iI}ne9s, he aappeared on the plat form and mada brief address, but was unable tdiparticipate in any oi the fes .ivities. uHe showed no inn provement during the day. and was still suffering when he departed TOT Little Rock last evening. accompanied by a party Of local friends.
 Ends at Midnight.
 When the town clock tolled for the twelfth time at midnight and the iinal strains of "Home, Sweet Home" were heard frem the band which was fur nishing music for the dancers, the curtain on Pine Bluffs second an ual Labor Day celebration was runs amid cheers from many.
 Before the close of the program yesterday afternoon complimentary remarks and words of praise for the excellent entertainment afforded ana the manner in which the large gath ering was handled, were heard at every corner. The program arranged for the day comprised amusement of various natures and was of the var iety which could be enjoyed by young and cd alike.
 Probably the most important feat ure on tn program for the children was the grand display of fireworks last evening. The roaring of the can mons and the vari-colored rockets set high into the air brought forth wells of delight from the little ones. The monoplane flights were also pleasing features.
 Lovers of dancing were afforded an opportunity to glide to the strains of thirty-sx piece band and no few devotees of Temsuhore and the tango l took advantage of this rare oppor- 1 tunity to glide on the large platform. | The band concerts throughout the day were thoroughly enjoyed and 1 large crowds followed the musicians was assembled at a great expense, but this amount could have not been better expended. many were heard to say that it was the finest band ever brought to this city. For this part ol the entertainment Prof. Seibert is accorded credit.
 rrc basenall games during the fcrenooa ana afternoon attracted a largenu mber of fans and fanesses and a fine article Of the national pastime was offered.
 The day passed off without accid ent. Arrests were few, so few they al most attracted as ruch attention a' the aeroplane exhibition.

"bUY A BALE" PLAN MEETING
 WITH FAVOR
Col. J. M. Grace Among
 Farmers and Business
 Men Behind Movement.

The "buy bale" plan to relieve the cotton situation is meeting With enthusiastic favor among many Dusl- ness and professional men and others in Pine Bluff since it was brought to their attention by The Graphlc Sunday morning. The numerous eA- pressions of approval and support communicated to The Graphic voiun- tary seems to insure that Pine bluli will do it's full share in making 'he movement a success just as soon It IS rushed in methodical manner. That the "buy a bale" plan is gaining ground IS evident from reports re ceived from other sections of the South. It is very likely this plan will he taken up by tAe staiewlde meeting called for September b by Governor Hays. Discussing the cot ion situation in an editorial in which it offers no other solution, the Mem' phis Commercial Appeal of yesterday says:
 "Ope plan suggested was that al many people as possible agree to 'aR' off the market one bale of cotton a 10 cents pound. This suggestion sounds visionary. but it is being con sidered by some very hardheaded bus mess men of this city and is belns pushed in a neighboring city. Ih' Commercial Appeal gives no hln whether it's allusion to neighborln' city refers to Pine Bluff or Atlanta.
 Oracle Urges Plan.
 Among the cotton growers wh urge the feasibility and advantage 0 the "buy bale" plan is Col. Jonl , M Oracle, who returned yesterda from a trip through the West an along the Pacific coast.

CITY MUST HAVE
A SEWERAGE SYSTEM

We presume our worthy mayor
thought he had entirely covered the
ground, as we'll as figuratively dug
holes in it, when he recommended
drainage wells for the disposal of
sewage in his message, else he would
have more strongly pressed upon the
council the necessity for a sewerage
system
We don't suppose the council
needs any urging on this subject.
We presume it's members are aware
that we have reached the point where
the installation OF a sewerage system
is an absolute necessity 1t needs
only the complaint of some citizen to
bring the state board of health down
on US like a duck on Junebug, and
that such complaint isn't made is
mainly because the people expect the
city government to do something at
once.
The plan of disposing of sewage
by discharging it into the nearest
stream is a relic of the barbarous
old days when community lived for
itself and cared not what became of
gree rather than kind from the time
when there was gutter in the mid
die of every street and each house
hold got rid of it's slops by pouring
l. =
fallacious idea that a stream of wa
ter purified itself every few miles. 1t
is known now that the germ of a
malignant disease can live if it swims
all the way around the world, and
only extreme heat, cold or power
| full chemical will kill it. A good deaI
of the impurity that enters a stream
| of water will sink, but in SO doing il
paves the bottom with germs liable
| to be stirred up at any time.
! Ocala is on the roof of a water
all the flow away from it is toward
| Silver Springs. We have no lega
nor moral right to make a sewer pipe
out of Silver Springs run nor the Ok
lawaha. We must make an up-to
date and scientific disposal of GU
sewage at once. and this year mus
see tangible proof of our intention
for Improvement or the state viii
force us to do what We should attent
to without urging.

ATTRACTION IN
THE PHENOMENAL CITY

That the South Florida Midwinter
exposition will be the best ever held
in Orange county is the prediction of
Mr.. c. K. Pomeroy, who has been on
canvassing trip for exhibits and
posting advertising for the fair dur
ing the past few days.
Mr.. Pomeroy returned last night
from visit to Apopga, Zellwood,
Mcdonald, Victoria, Clermont and
Clarcona. At all of these places Mr.
Pomeroy found the people preparing
exhibits, and in some instances they
are fully made up and are only wait
ing for the time to roll around to
bring them in and put them in place
n the exhibition buildings.
At Apopka Mr.. Pomeroy found
that the school there under Prof.
Nix, is going to make a splendid ex-
hibit. This is exceedingly pleasing
to the directors, and they expect
to make a special effort to get all
the schools Of the county to par
ticipate.
Mr.. Pomeroy was accompanied on
lis tour by Mr.. w. o. Hall, and they
have been posting the roads with ad-
vertising of the fair, which is to be
held February 17-21.-Orlando Sen
tinel
The Star hopes that this fair will
be a success; it represents a big and
prosperous county, and its broad
minded promoters have placed its
dates so as not to interfere with
those of any other fair in South
Florida.

SOME QUESTIONS THAT
SHOULD BE DECIDED

Why is a woman who keeps you
waiting usually worth waiting for?
Why do the walters in most res
taurants keep you waiting for your
bread until the rest of the dishes
come-when you don't want it?
When you open book in the par
lor car, why do you experience a
slight sense of shame to let the other
passengers see you have read only
the first few pages?
Why does woman who hates cats
always have a sense of duty?
What makes the man you hire to
cut your lawn in the summer usually
wear a derby hat?
Why does the salesman you buy
underwear from always try TO sell
you a size too small?
When you are reading and strike
a parenthesis, why does your eye al
ways go to the end of the parenthe-
sis first, to see whether the last en-
closing sign is in place, before you
continue the sentence? Life

NEW BUILDINGS NEEDED

Ocala needs a new city hall. The
present building is hardly equal to
the demands now made upon it, and
will soon be hopelessly out of date.
The positions Of the city hall and fire
station should be changed and both
should be much larger than they are
now. A city hall facing on South
street, and running back the entire
length of the lot to the Star property
CT the south, and extending to the
site of the present building, would
not be any too large. 1t should be so
constructed that the court room and
jail could be kept entirely apart
from the rest of the building, and
should have a large hall for public
meetings. A two-story building
would do for the present, but should
be so constructed that third could
he added when needed. One thing
that should be provided for in the
city hall is a rest room for the
country people. 1t could be made a
part of the building without inter-
fering with any city purpose and
could be kept up at little or no ex-
pense. A pleasant rest room is
courtesy that we of the city owe to
our country friends, who are our
best friends, and enable US to have a
city. The fire station should stand
where the city hall now is and face
on South street. The firemen will
always be handicapped as long as the
station faces the railroad Many

The announcement that President
Wilson will knock in the head the
movement by certain Jealous spoils-
men to take the office of assistant
postmasters out of the civil service,
will be greatly approved. In the av-
erage first or second class office, the
assistant postmaster really does the
work, and it is essential to the well
fare of the public that he should be
a man who knows his business by
experience and not one pitchforked
into the place by partisan politics.
Every time there is a change in ad-
ministration, the citizens of almost
every town are wearied and disgust
ed by a wrangle over who shall be
postmaster, and the office often goes
TO man who is entirely unfit To
extend this quadrennial wrangle to
the assistant postmasterships would
be a positive crime. 1t would be
much better for Congress to put the
entire postoffice department on the
merit system. The president, nearly
all Of the congressman and nine
tenths of the people would hail the
change with relief

One of the things that this dem
ocratic administration should do is
to reopen all the postoffices at GER
tain hours on Sundays, as was al
ways the custom until the present
foolish and tyrannical law was
sneaked thru Congress a couple of
years ago. The postoffice is for all
the people and a majority of them
want their Sunday mail. Those who
don't want it, don't have to go after
It and by following that policy can
satisfy their own consciences with
out infringing on anybody else's
rights.

right kind of man doesn't want the
office, and is unwilling to make the
sacrifice which the holding of it
would entail. Storrs of DeFuniak,
