ONE VOTE STOOD BETWEEN GEORGIA
FARMER BOYS AND EDUCATION

When the bill to enforce county tax levy of at
least mill and not than five mills was
lost in the state Legislature yesterday by margin
of ONE VOTE, the chance OF the Georgia farmer
boy to receive as good an educational opportunity
as his city cousin postponed by at least an
other year.
We in Ben Hill county have been enjoying the
benefits of county school tax for SO long that we
can't appreciate the conditions in the more back
ward counties of the state where they depend en-
trely on the state appropriation. Their funds arc
lar from sufficient to maintain good school sys-
TEN even if their people took enough interest to
want it,
Nearly every state in the union has a law com
pelllng county tax levy for the support Of the
schools within the county in addition to the gen
cral appropriation. This tax not only increases
the amount of school funds in each county but in
treaseS the citizens interest in his own county
schools when he knows his money is going to stay
at home and work for his own local school
1t is highly unfair to the counties like Ben
dill that help support their own schools as well as
pay their pro rata share of the general school ap-
preparation to have to contribute literally to those
other counties who refuse to help themselves
Nearly half of Ben Hill county'S state taxes are
gong to keep up the schools in some unprogressive
county that is depending entirely on us for their
support. This state law if passed would eliminate
this unfairness to Ben Hill county and the nearly
fifty Others who levy the county tax by forcing all
counties to contribute to the support of their own
schools
AS the bill was lost by only one vote we hope
that our representative reconsdered his intention
to vote against it and thereby relieved himself of
the responsibility of keeping Ben Hill county bur
dened not only with wholly supporting her own
schools through the county and state taxes, but
also with the support of the schools of some other
county whose citizens are not as wide-awake and
watchfulof the welfare of their sons and daughters
as Ben Hill citizens are. If Mr. Walker did vote
against this bill, and kept it from passing by his
one vote, we are afraid that our citizens will con
slder his action very unwise.-S. +. G..

Readiusting

During the past two or three
weeks quite number of men
have left the employ of the e. l.
DUPONT com pany at Barksdale
and the big munitions plant is
now getting down to . basis
where about fifteen hundred
men are employed. This was
to be expected of the big insti-
tuition which was engaged in the
manufacture Of explosives ex-
clusively. When the armistice
was signed construction work
at the plant was halted, it being
understood that this part of the
plant was controlled by the
government and as soon as the
war had ended. the need Of new
work stopped.
The laying off of a number of
men has made some of the
weaker hearts" of the commu-
nifty feel a little panicky as to
the outcome while others main
tain that the big munitions plant
will be turned over to peace
plant and will engage in the
manufacture of other articles
besides explosives for the navy.
The dupont company have
millions Of dollars invested in
the Barksdale plant and it is not
their policy to let this capital
lay idle The end of the war
came so suddenly that there
will naturally be period of re-
adjustment and this will per-
haps take some time and may
reduce the number of men EN-.
ployed to lower level than at
present but we believe that it
will not be long before the crew
will be enlarged again and that
besides explosives for con-
struction work, other things
NAV be manufactured.
The big barracks at the works
will be closed on Saturday of
this week and the men will be
sent into the city and it is also
possible that the Ashland train
will be dropped and these men
gilI al.o nave to reside here.
