You should not; do this. We must have our schools, I both of them,” he said.

I there was a school nearby, thus de priving the Huntington farmers of negro labor. He also criticized the Rotary club s resolution and said that the figures furnished the club were not correct in many instances. He said the negroes in the county, outside of Americus, - pay into the state treasury about $1,150 and that only SBOO of that amount comes back to the county, and “yet you gentlemen of the board have appropriated $6,- 000 or more for negro education,” said Mr. Johnson. “Our negroes realize that their white friends are doing their best for them and they should be told that we are taking our white prop erty in the school districts to help run the negro schools. Wi white folks don’t get back all we pay out in taxes, but the negroes get six or eight times more than they pay. In the Huntington school district the negroes pay for local school taxes only about SSO or $60.” Col. Shipp, speaking after Mr. Johnson, said “we give the negro schools six times as much as the negroes themselves pay in, and I want to emphasize the fact that every negro school gets every dollar that the negroes pay in to this board or their school fund in school taxes. “Our county is doing more for the negroes in the county, so Mr. Ballard says, than any other county in the state and I know we are do ing more than any of the adjoining counties. The greatest difficulty we have on this board is getting a sufficient number of .trained negro teachers. “As to our cutting down appro priations, we have but we have cut ibe white schools, too. We have $6,000 of the board's indebtedness bearing 8 per eent interest, and this we must pay this year and the budg et is fixed to do that thirig. “I do not find it in my heart to FOR RENT FOR RENT—Desirable private ga rage.

Those men are business men and the big gest business we have is our schools. However, I feel as some of you do, that the clubs should know what they are doing before they pass resolutions,” concluded the board chairman. When asked for a statement re garding the negro schools Super mtendent Moore said to the Times- Recorder. “The Janes worker who taught home economics was dropped be cause the same work was being done by the teachers in the Rosen«\dd schools and she was no longer need- . ___________ , W .... , _ »■—MM— I .*! ■ Save Money m INCORPORATED IN MNTUCKV ML THJS BOOK CONTAINS 7© COUPONS OF THE FOLLOWING 06* frvzl * Nominations ano unless fekforateo a ne not valid.

We believe he will do better work, accomplish more, than did the two. We have made this vocational teach er principal of four schools, have taken all other work off his hands and put him in position where he can compel the sc.wots to carry out • his instructions. He was not get- ■ ting the co-operation of the teach- I ers before, but now he will. - “In all probability the Shipp ■ training school will run eight months i this year instead of six, these extra 11 months being paid for from the ■ Slater fund.

Here we cut from $56.00 to $37.00. In .11 ther ii;‘tanco» where cuts were made it was not more than 50 cents or a $1 a month. However, while doing this cutting we also were doing some raising of salaries so that next term we won’t have negro teachers drawing less than $25.00 a month.

Moore. • The board decided to open the white schools this term on August 31, and granted the pupils and teachers of the white schools a two weeks Christmas vacation, instead oi only one week. During the day the board listened with patience and interest to a num ber of negro speakers tvho discussed the negro problem with the board. AH the way through there was an evidence of close sympathy ty the board for the negroes .•Hid the ne groes expressed themselves as be lieving that the board wcuid de its best for them.
