WILL SOON APPORTION
COMMON SCHOOL FUND

Little Rock, July 21.-An err
roneous impression prevails in GER
tain parts of the state as to the
disposition of the state common
school fund for this year. Many
letters are being received making
inquiries relative to the suit filed
several weeks ago seeking to en-
join the state treasurer from pay
ing out the funds to the credit of
the common schools of the state
under the annual apportionment
law. This case was decided by the
supreme court several days ago
against the contention of parties
who instituted the suit. The SUI
preme court held that it was not
necessary for the legislature to
make specific appropriations every
two years in order to distribute the
fund among the various counties
of he state, on the grounds that
the constitutional provision was
self-executing. This means that
the fund will be paid out as usual
some time next month, when the.
state superintendent of public in
struction makes certification of the
amount to the credit of each of the
70 counties of the state. The total
amount to be paid out this year is
considerably in excess of $1,000
900.

Giles 3. Jackson. president of the
big negro exposition which Is to be
staged at the State fair grounds here
next july. is just back from New
York. whore he persuaded officers of
the American Tobacco Company to
place mammoth exhibit with his ex-
position. In this connection c. F.
Neiley and T. b. Yuille, secretary and
vice. president Of the great tobacco
corporation, will visit Richmond this
week and confer with certain among
their local managers with regard to
placing the contem plated exhibit. 1t
Is nderstood that the American To-
bacco Company's exhibit will be on a
most elaborate and handsome scale
and 1t La certain TO be among the most
attractive features OF the whole show.
While In New York Jackson also saw
Edward X. Cone. president of the New
York Cotton Exchange, and asked Mr..
Cone to place an exhibit with the ex-
position here. This request has been
taken under consideration by officers
of the exchange.

Of the white folks among whom they
live. We got $500 from the great
