MAURY COUNTY HAS
NOT RECEIVED HER
PART SCHOOL FUNDS
STATE OF TENNESSEE OWES
THIS COUNTY ABOUT S4,o0o
THIS MONTH.
NO MONEY IN TREASURY FOR IT
SCHOOLS OF County, However, win
Get Their Money, AZ There ls Sug-
ficient in the County Strong Box Co
Pay All Teachers Rest OF the Year.

"The school teachers of the county
need have no fear about their money.
Even if there is temporary short
age in the state treasury at present,
we have plenty on hand to take care
of all salaries" said county trustee
John W. Addison this morning.
Ordinarily a check for about ST.
100 from the state for schools is due
here soon after the first of January.
Then about January 20, Maury coun-
tvs share of the general school fund,
which amounts to something like $3.-
600, generally comes in. This makes
about $4,000 that we get from tina
state in this month. None of this has
been received to date, and l do not
think that it will be for some time "
the report of the legislative commit
tee, which examined the books of tho
state treasurer, is to be believed.
However, there is enough money
in the county treasury to pay AN
school warrants, which amount to
about $1,000 per month. The collee-
tons now are very good, as it Is get
ting toward the end of the fiscal year.
Furthermore, the schools of the coun-
ty are out in April and 1t will not be
very much longer that we will have
this drain upon the treasury. / sup
pose that as soon as there is suff-
Gent money in the states treasury
to pay Maury county's prorata of the
school fund, it will be done"

BEST THEATRE.

Today-Charlotte Walker makes her photodramatic debut in the pro- duction of "Kindling," offered by Las ky. This play, which has had an ex- traordinary Broadway success, is es- pecially adapted to the dramatic gen jus of Miss Walker.
 "Kindling" tells the story of a poor woman of the tenements who is mar ried to man of German extraction. He has theory that it is wrong for poor people to have children.
 The husband repeats this idea to his wife, and she is afraid to confess that she is soon to give birth to an infant. At about this time she makes the acquaintance of a rich young woman who offers her work in her home. Among the acquaintances of the tenement is young crook. He persuades the frightened wife to help him rob-
 The only motive that the wife has is to get the money necessary for her to go West, where she can have her child under different circumstances. The robbery, however, is traced. The husband proves his worthiness by up- holding his wife whe nthe finds the motive that led her to commit the crime and offering to shoulder the blame.

 This morning pr. Robinson. after the religious exercises, delivered his annual address. He said: ''The A. M. D. church stands for all tha. is highest and best in tho race. The opportunities to serve the race will he greater as the years come and go. The negro must stay close to God he must educste his children and he must obey ths laws of the land.
