Governor TerraI On Education

The message of Governor Tom J.
Torrol on the subject of education was
NOT a disappointment to those who had
nxpected him to take a forward posi-
tiop on this important subject He
faces the problems squarely and makes
imUortant recommendations. He said /:
"Tbc educational plank in the Demo
cratic platform, in part, says The
dutv of maintaining a general suit
able, aud efficient system of free
schools is placed by our Constitution,
not upon the school districts of the
COMMITTEES, but upon the state We de-
ulorp the fact that the State has not
fully performed this duty in the past /;
but we heartily commend the substan-
tial achievements of the present Demo-
cratic state administration for the
betterment of our public schools by
providing an increase of school funds
for distribution by the State to all
districts, without any increase in the
property tax. We favor a continuation
Of this policy.
Two years ago the common school
fund which was gathered into the
State treasury and prorated to the
school districts throughout the State
was about $3.50 per year for each
child of school age in the State. BY
the aid of the severance tax, the Gig
arctic and cigar tax, and the income
tax, this State School fund has been
increased, without any increase in the
property tax, until it is now about
$500 per year for each child of school
age, or double what it was only two
years ago.
"By a continuation of this policy
and by adding small tax upon certain
luxuries, such as chewing gum, per-
fumes, cosmetics show tickets, and the
like, and by reducing the expenses of
collecting these taxes, we can further
increase the State School Fund during
the next two years, without any in
crease in the property tax, until the
State can send forth from its treasury
every year to every school district in
the state ten dollars for each child of
school age, whether that child lives in
Il city or in the remOtest rural district,
thus doubling again the states aid
to its common schools.
Some measure should be enacted
by this legislature to enable the school
children to get their text books at low
er prices.
Liberal aid should be given all our
educational institutions, to the end
that every child, rich and poor alike,
may have an opportunity to obtain an
education. A loan fund should be pro-
vided at the State University, the State
Normal and at each of our Agricultur-
al schools, from which boys and girls
who want to go to those institutions
but who have not the money to go
upon, may obtain loans on long terms,
and at very low rate of interest to
enable them to complete their educa-
tiOn, and repay the loans from their
afterward. These loan funds
would be revolving funds, and, after
being once provided, would constantly
replenish themselves and be perpetual
without further expense to the State.

of the members met forming a unique
trio. One of them was DIR. w. II. Lind

Curtis HigginbOtham of Randolph

Members and visitors are greatly
impressed with the wonderful improve
ment that has been made in the acOus-
ties of the House and Senate chambers.
The agitation for this improvement was
started by former Speakers CazOrt and
Reed and the results have been most
satisfactory. Echoes have been absO-
lutely eliminated and 1t is now possi-
bic to hear speaker from any part
of the chamber with perfect ease. 1t
is realized that at cost of few
thousand dollars the state will be en-
abled to save many thousands in the
loss of time due to the former unsatis-
factory acoustical conditions.
The next important improvement
that should be made in the House and
Senate chambers, to be in line with
modern inventions, should be the in
stallation of an electrical voting de-
vice. Similar devices are in use, sue
cessfully, in Texas, Wisconsin, New
York and Iowa. Speaker Reed, dur
ing his incumbency, made an investi-
CATION and secured great deal of valu-
able information about the use of this
time saving sevice. 1t would cost
about $4,000 to install it in the two
houses, but it would soon pay for it.
self in the saving Of time. 1t has been
found far superior to the audible sys-
TEN of voting and there can be no mis-
take. 1t is absolutely fOOl-prOOf. Be
hind the Speakers stand is large

globes after each name. When a vote
Is called for the member can vote only
from his seat. He has a key to the
device in his seat and no one else can
vote for him. His vote is recorded on
the roster in plain sight and the en-
tire House could vote in ten seconds
instead of requiring three to five minu-
tes as at present. When the vote is
cast, a photograph is taken of the
board, or roster, and this is entered
in the Journal. The Speaker then
"clears" the Board and it is ready for
ballot.
1t is not known whether a bill pro-
viding for the installation of this de-
vice will be introduced at this time,
but it is certain that it will come in
the course of the next few years.

BOY DIES FROM THE
BITE OF RATTLESNAKE
SNAKE STRIKES CHILD AS HE
RAMS HIS HAND IN A SUP
POSED GOPHER HOLE.

Within few hours after he had
been bitten on the hand by a rattle
snake the six-year-old son of Tim
Davis, a negro farmer OF Tit county,
died
The boy, with an older brother, was
trying to run a gopher out of hole.
With this end in view he showed his
arm into the hole. The RATHER sank
his fangs into the palm OF the little
negro's hand, slashing slit in it that
was said TO resemble a knife wound.
Almost Immediately the boy turned
deathly sick and began to foam at the
mouth. He was carried home by his
brother and physician was summon
ed. 1t was about two hours before the
latter arrived and in the meantime the
little negro was suffering from the
most intense agony.
The doctor was unable to stay the
inroads of the poison, and death re-
suited in about eight hours after the
boy was bitten by the reptil.
The snake that bit the little negro
was dug out of the hole and killed
1t had FIVE rattles and was about three
and half feet long.

"Talebearers are as bad as tale
makers" the opinion of the court
OF appeals declared. Every repe-
tition OF SANDER originated by a
third person is a willful publica
ton Of it, rendering the person so
repeating it liable to an action,
and it is no defense that the
speaker did not originate the
SANDER, but heard it from ANOTHER,
even though in good faith he be-
lieved it to be true.
The opinion quoted many de-
cisions in Georgia and other states
holding that the repetition OF
slanderous remarks is aCtionable.

Hobble Skirts Revived
With Enthusiasm in Paris
Newest Models Are Cut From Cloth
Slightly Larger Than Kerchiet.

Hobble skirts are back
again, and are being adopted with en-
thusiasm by martyrs OF the Zine"
An example OF the skirt was seen in
the Rue de la PAX, where it excited
much criticism. The wearer moved
with short, trotting steps and advanc-
ed few inches at each. Like the
dressmakers' mannequins, these fash
ion martyrs require a diet OF the
strictest kind to maintain their slim
appearance and do justice to the scan
ty skirt and tight tunic.
Only just covering the knees this
skirt, cut from a piece OF cloth scarce
" bigger than handkerchief, has the
serious defect OF quickly losing its
shape. The tailors are trying to RENE
dy this by making a fold on one side,
heavily pressed to be invisible, but at
fording spring for the Wearer's knees.

spection OF the $500 acres OF arsenic
beds on the A. B. and A. railroad at

MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES
