Mr.. F. Earl Bradham, formerly

There has been petition circulated
to order an election to issue an extra
four mill tax levy for Manning
school district. This is done to raise
the salaries of the teachers and other
school expenses. We signed it and
hope the election will be carried un-
anmous. The cost of living has ad-
vanced from one to five hundred per
cent, but the teachers salary is prac-
tically what it was fifteen years ago.
Think of a person with $4,000 edu-
cation drawing less money than COM
mon laborer. And too, we must de-
pend upon these same low salaried
people to train the minds of our COM
ing generation. Teachers should be
we'll paid for their services, so let's
all vote for the extra tax. We admit
that taxes are high now, but it would
be much better to the price than have
our children grow up in ignorance,
and that is what it means, for the
teachers cannot live at the present
salary they receive.
citizens meeting was called Mon
day night for ti.e purpose of discuss
ing the coming town election, but on
account of the inclemcnt weather
there were very few out, so it was
decided to postpone the meeting until
tomorrow night. Every body is in
vited to attend this meeting, and every
voter who was registered in the last
election is entitled to participate All
citizens that have the towns interest
at heart should come out. The pur-
pose of this gathering is to nominate
a ticket for mayor and aldermen to
govern the affairs Of our town for the
ensueing two years, and a ticket that
will be most acceptable to the major
ity of the people. In other words. it
is get together meeting, one that
will be free from fractional politics.
Come out and express your sentiments
and let's help make Manning the best
town in the State. We can do it by
cooperation.
