The legislature 'has gotten. down to
work and bn Monday it passed one im
portant bill and defeated another. .
The' attempt of Mr. Bower, of. Deca
tur to have the house pass & resolution,
expressing itself in favor of apportioning
the school fund of the v state between the
whites and negroes in proportion to the
amount of taxes paid by the two races,
met with defeat, despite that Mr. Bower
and Mr. Evans, of Washington, made
gallant pleas for its adoption. : Mr. Sto-’
vail of Chatham, doubtless had much to
do with the defeat of the measure, as he
opposed its adoption in no uncertain
terms. After the announcement of the
vote, Mr. Bower gave notice that at the
proper time he would move for a recon
sideration of the matter.
The bill of Mr. Bell, of Milton, provi
ding that the present, common school
law shall be amended in such a way as
to make it mandatory that students of
one county be permitted to attend the
free school of another, in the event the
house in located hearer to their homes
than is any institution of learning in

much applause. ~ . , J

need*eariy attention. 1st. There is not
sufficient room in the prison department
for the comfort of the prisoners. This
means enlargement.; 2nd.* As it now. is,
we have no suitable department for
women. This means enlargement. 3rd.
We have no suitable room for incarcera
