LOCAL SCHOOL TAX.
Bntwlrk School District Asks Per
mission to Hold Local Election.
Barwlck Is steadily Increasing In
natural and qioral growth, nnd it
must not only maintain Its status
In educational strength, but must
grow.
The elements for a large school are
here. The divine Injunction, “Mul
tiply andreplenlsh,” has been faith
fully obeyed and there Is certainly
wealth to maintain a ‘long term
school.” It has been practically .de
monstrated that the people of this
school district have he disposition
to.do their doty In tho premises. The
district which la composedof parts of
Brooks and Thomas counties, has fil-
ur ~
sd a petition with the ordinary of
Brooks, asking for an order to vote
on the question of total tax for ed
ucational purposes. According
the law. In the cases of ‘county lino
schoolB,” the petition must be filed
With tho ordinary of the county
which the school house Is Bltunted.
Jt needs the concurrence of the
other counties interested. There
Is a spirit of patriotism behind this
act of the recent legislature and tho
authorities wll gladly respond.
Gome of the cltlzenB of Brooks and
Thomas nremovlng here In order
ttint, they may have better school fac-
pay said installments or any one of times, and they must not be dlsap-
them at any time before maturity belated. Indeed some of them have
with a discount of six (0) por cent already built splendid residences
per annum tor unearned time.

Provided, nevertheleaa, that no
jart of thU tax shall be collected at
any time ^whatsoever, unless the
sums hereafter to be prorided and
-set apart by ordinance annually from
•gross revenue collected from water
reals. light rents, street tax, dog tax.
nnd licenses, and any and *W other
j sources at the same rate an now fixed

Tho school opened here on the 10th
Inst, with an enrollment something
over one hundred pupils. On that
day we had a*formal opening of the
school, which consisted of music and
unite an instructive address from
Ttev. Taylor of Pavo. Quite a num
ber of the patrons came out and
greatly enjoyed hit speech. He
agreeably disappointed hts
very
many friends, because he went Into
pedagogy - with the common sense
logic and stated what we all believe
Those of the community who failed
to be with ns on the occasion have
one more lost opportunity.
