Education and Wealth
Does education pay?

Assuredly! It pays its votaries in
character. health, culture, preparation
for vocations, and all that goes to make
up a well-rounded life. 1t fits us
to become law-abiding and God-fearing
citizens of the great Republic. Yes;
education pays.
But let us consider. apart from its
idealistic trend, whether education
pays in dollars and cents. The fact
is self-evident that an educated nation
is a more productive one, commercial
iy and industrially. The money value
of an education is being emphasized
in the insistent demand for specialized
and technical training for specific vo-
cations. The more education is diff
fused, the more specialized and tech.

increase; but the national income in

Christmas Giving

The appointment of central committee to
distribute Christmas gifts to the poor and needy
is step in the right direction, one dictated by
experience in a number of cities where charity
is organized on an efficient basis.
Everyone should be happy on Christmas day
The committee is keeping this dictum in mind
and developing its plans on that basis. To make
sure that no one is overlooked, that all the worthy
families receive cheer and happiness, it is pro-
ceeding in a systematic manner. In this way it
hopes to make certain that no one escapes at
tention.
Many organizations are cooperating with
the central body so that it will be able to carry
out the task which is before it. The combined
efforts of these various organizations will result
in the accomplishment of its purpose.

 221-2 First National Bank Building


 Montgomery June 3.-(Specia1.)- All records for the number of grad .. uates of high schools in Alabama. public and private, were broken this year, according to an estimate of the state department of education today. It will be several weeks before final figures are available, but T. E. Ben ner. educational statistician, believes these reports vii show not less than 4,000 graduates.
 Interest in education in Alabama reached It's highest point during the year. More funds were available than ever before, though they were far short of the amounts needed and far below the educational funds avail able in other states where conditions may be compared with Alabama. .ss. Three Mill Tax Voted
 School districts throughout the state are helping themselves by Vot- ing special three mill school taxes for educational purposes. It Is an unusual thing when no reportNof a S-~---ctal school tax levy is received at the capitol each week. Montgomery recently voted a three mill school tax in order that ample funds might be provided for salaries of school teach CTS and for interest and sinking fund on S1,000,000 of school improvement bonds. The supreme court shortly afterward held the bond issue to be invalid because the city ordinance submitting it was not drawn In ac- cordance with the provisions of the constitution. The city commission will at once submit the bond issue to the people again under an ordi- nance which will conform to the constitution

The bodies had been taken last night from where they fell and one report said they had been burned. However. county officials denied that. Only one other negro was involved in the shooting, according to the story told today and search for him continued.
 Murder of Girl
 Sheriff Mayo denied today that the negroes were taken into custody be- cause of alleged connection with the murder of a 17year-oid girl which resulted in the 1ynching of four ne- grees. He declared there was no formal charge against the Gibsons and that deputies sought them to in vestigate an alleged attempt by white men to whip Leroy. The in- tention of the officers evidently was misunderstood. he declared, and shots were fired at the deputy who replied.
 "The negroes In the community are behaving themselves and don't an 'icipate any trouble from them" the sheriff declared. Their attitude seems to be one of fear toward tho whites rather than one of defiance"

CONTINUED HEAVY RAINS
 DELAY CROU ACTIVITY

Wetumpka, June s.-tSpecia1.)- The continuous rains over the coun- ty for the past week have given the farmers no chance to rid their crops of grass which has. by this time, gotten decided advantage. The sun shine of Friday made it possible in some sections for work in the fields to begin Saturday although in other sections, it will be Monday of Tues day before they can hope to begin the fight against the grass.
 1t Is reported that in several sec tfons, considerable damage to the oat crop has been noticed especially where the oats have been cut ana Eh0sksd sn the fields and where the crops have been ready to cut and the. rains caught the ripened grain standing in the fields. The yield for the county this year Is going to be considerably above the average and with cotton now selling at 20 cents the farmers are feeling optimistic and are looking into the future with confidence.
