The people who are fighting Bruce
Meffert, democratic nominee, are
spreading the story that he had the
detour cut around the lime pit on the
Kendrick road in his own interests.
Funny they hadn't thought of that
before. It's straightout lie anyhow.
The detour was made more than two
years ago under the instruction of the
state road department, and was made
because the department intended to
cut thru the hill at that point to
lower the grade, and it was necessary
to make the detour before closing the
main road. Just at that time, the
work not being done to the satisfac-
ton of the county, it was stopped

With all the light before us we will
vote for Riley for state superintend-
ent of education. First, because he
comes out. fat-footed against Florida
people being made to pay 33 per cent
for school books more than is paid by
any other state in the Union. Second,
because his opponent is silent along
those lines. It seems the people are
being feeced out of $4,000 year in
the extra prices that they are forced
to pay for school books. By mis-
management the schools are becoming
just hollow pretense. We hold that
there is no just cause for changing
school books all the time. 1t will
cost the people 100000 in eight
years, the extra amount that the
people are forced to pay for books.
We say Riley first last and all the
time.-Fort Lauderdale Sentinel.

SCHOOLS MAY HAVE TO SHUT

The receipts on account of the school
fund Saturday amounted to only
S2O5.60. This leaves s29, 223.96 yet
to be paid in order to clear up the
current Indebtedness of the board of
public instruction. The pay roll to
cover teachers salaries now due ex-
ceeds by several thousand dollars the
amount paid so far this month. I'm
less some of our larger taxpayers
come to the rescue at once, it will be
necessary to hold up payment of sal
aries now due. Come on, public
spirited citizens, and help your
schools. They cannot run without
funds.

made an honest attempt to bridge the
gap growing between them and the
rest of the state, and have preferred
to meet it in friendship rather than
throw it back in their faces in spite.
After the abuse that has been lavish
ed on North and West Florida, it will
be strange indeed if they not only
vote down the amendment but defeat
any attempt to offer another for the
next ten years. They can do it if they
want to, and the ''bitter enders" of
South Florida will be principally to
blame.

One thing which has been stimulated
by hard times Is education. The en-
rollment at the colleges and other in
situations Of an educational character
is greater than ever before and at the
same time there are more students
working their way through such places
than ever before. Nearly all the insti.
tutions are making special efforts to
assist this class Of student, for 1t has
been discovered that, as a rule, they
are the most desirable and reflect more
credit on the college than others whose
way is paid by relatives.

The Tampa Tribune is having a
duckspasm over the wording on the
ballot regarding the reapportionment
amendment. The Trib. has built so
many scarecrows about that amend

any more of the text of any amend
ment than enough to tell him which
