tho Public School Fluid.
Editors News: —With your per¬
mission I deatP* to say a few wonts
in regard to the proposed action
of our county commissioners in
inking a part of our public school
fund and putting if on the public
roads. In doing so I wish it to be
thoroughly understood that 1 am
not assuming the place of adviser
to our county commissioners, nor
do 1 wish to appear to dictate to
them how to properly manage.the
financial affairs of the county. On
tho contrary, 1 have the most pro¬
found reaped for them, both ns
individuals and as officials. What
I shall say shall he as n citizen in¬
terested in all things that look to
the advancement of the county V
interest, anil as such 1 claim tin-
light given to every citizen—the
right of fr speoch on public
questions, 1 would have it further
understood that 1 am not speak-
ing against this proposed act from
u selfish motive. Any reduction
in the school fund will not affect
me financially, as I am working
for a fixed salary. .What I shall
say is from a purely unselfish mo¬
tive in the interest of the pooi
white childi u, poor, overworked.
and underpaid teachers, and the
advancement of tho cause of cdu
cation in our county. Neither d’
1 oppoae any public improvement.
especially good loads, but Id-
oppose this plan of improving
them at tho expense of the publi
schools.
1 look upon ti;is movement n
one especially hostile to the edn
cutionn! interests of t! county
one far reaching in its co
quences, tearing down all the ad
vancement made in cducatii
lines in the county for the pas i
kix years.
Onrcomi loners cltutji that
we vvil get more school funds un
der tlie present c nvict law than
herd fore, but they are mistake

Miilffrcn the nine advantages as
before, tint the tenant and the
poorer class of property holders
cannot. The burden would I >0 talc-
en from those who ought to boar
the heavier part a.id -placed upon
the weak.
To raise this amount by direct
taxation would bo something like
$1.50 on the thousand, or one and
five-tent I J 8 mills on the dollar;
raise it by cutting the school fund
is to put a tax of about sixteen
and two-thirds per cent on the
poor children and especially upoy
the teachers. lutlio first place,
all would lie made to bear the bur-
don; in the second place, only the
poor few would have it to hear,
leaving the well-to-do many free.
This would ho class legislation
pure and simple.
I appreciate the position of our
commissioners, with bad roads in
some sections, a continual clamor
for better roads, and no means to
provide for tho same. They are
like a drowning man catching at
a straw for preservation. No nifit,-
ter how great the urgency of the
case may be, I would have them
“hands of.” the public school
fund ns money set aside for a
holier and more noble cause.
J cannot see ’any economy in
anything that opposes better
schools, espe/.jnlly un any hire of
these convicts is likely lobe at¬
tended with so much difficulty
and expense in the way of guards,
keeping, etc. It, is n well known
fact that I he prison commission-
era are not in favor of tho conn-
ties taking their prorata share of
state convicts, and will impose
such rules and regulations upon I
the counties that it will make it
unprofitable for them to work h
than twenty or thirty.
1 would like for all the friend -
of education to speak out on tho
subject; let ns not sit silent ami
see our public schools thus im¬
paired without one word of pro¬
test. 1 formic uill in the light to
stay to the end, and will over lift
illy voice m behalf of better
schools and against anything that
opposes them.
A ery truly yours,
C. C. Childs.
DO GOOD— IT PAYS.
A Chicago man hits observed
that, “Good deeds are bi t ter than
real estate deeds—some of tlielat-
ter are worthless. Act kindly ami
gently', show' sympathy and lend
a helping hand. You cannot poc
dblv lose by it.” Most men ap¬
preciate a kind word and encour¬
agement more than substantial
help. There are persons in this
■ommunitv who might trmhful-
ly say : “'My gooff fi n off, el eor

Slio ails the daughter of Mr.
Janies Harris and Mrs, Mattie JO
Harris, both of whom were deep
ly pioiis and prominent
of the Methodist church. Mrs.
'e*'* rvor faithful to her vows
and obligations. In her woman,
hood she developed most beauti-
frilly tin* promise of her early re-
legions experience. Her nature
whs tenderly loving and sympn-
thetic, Iler emotional gifts flowed
freely and fully in response to re¬
ligious influence, and in all good
works she was an example of a
gifted, cultured woman, inspired
j with Christian 7,eal.
I For her husband she possessed
j an extraordinary iove. These rare
; virtues came to full bloom in the
quietness of her own home. She
j loved her husband shared his
joys, bore bis sorrows, and wasac-
quainted with iiis griefs, Her
j friendship for her friends was
j strong, true, everlasting, and she
felt no unfriendliness toward any
one.
The neighbors knowing our de-
parted sister, and being charmed
with the beauty and unselfishness
of her life, have paid many beau¬
tiful tributes to her memory—
loving tributes to a most lovely
character, I find it difficult to
write of her without seeming to
employ the inngnuge of fulsome
eulogy.
Her dying testimony was in
perfect keeping with her useful
and beautiful life. When pain
and anguish held her in their
grasp the accents which escaped
her lips were words of prayer, aud
while the broken-hearted lius-
baud could not suppress his grief
she looked up and in a sweet as¬
suring way said: “Sweetheart,
the Lord is with us; the Lord is
with us. 1 J The genuine and na¬
tural triumph of Christian faith
washers'in tho hour of dissolu-
tion. No clouds of doubt shadow¬
ed the vision of the dying saint
and in the splendor of the noon
tide her happy spirit passed ink
the realms of end less day.
