FROM MR. WILKINSON.
Has Something to Say About the
School Tax Election.
The election for local taxation for
the public schools of Terrell county
wlll‘ be‘held next Tuesday, Novem
ber 6.
This system has been adopted and
is now in operation in Randolph
county. They find it very satisfac
tory. Since the passage of the act
it has been adopted by over thirty
counties in the state. The adoption
of this plan of raising money for
the schools is admitted to be the
salvation of the rural schools. It
has been in operation in the city
of Dawson for about fifteen years.
What objection do you find to it
there? Do the negroes get the
funds? Hasn't Dawson the best pub
lic schools you have ever had in your
county?
The county is entitled to just as
good, and they will have them after
next Tuesday if every friend of-the
measure will go to the polls on that
day. What is your community go
ing to do about it? Do not be afraid
of the negro argument; the board of
education proposes to raise by tax
the sum of $3,000, levied upon the
property orf the whole county outside
of Dawson. This is to be applied to
the white schools, which are to be
run for nine months. The schools
are to be operated just as they now
are and controlled by trustees who
are elected by the people.
If the election carries every school
will be absolutely free and the money
to run them will be furnished by t.pe
board ot education. Let me insist
that yvou go to the polls next Tues
day and cast your vote ‘“For local
taxation for public schools.”
d. A. WILKINSON,
County School Commissioner.

BIG FIGHT FOR CHILDREN AND
PROPERTY WAS WAGED.
The Farrar Case Was Strongly Con
tested on Both Sides, and
| Consumed All Day.
1 After a trial beginning at 9 o’clock ‘
in the morning and lasting until af
ter dark, on Friday, the three minor
children of the late C. E. Farrar and
their property were decreed by the
court to remain under the charge of
Miss Lillie Farrar as guardian.
The case came up on an applica
tion filed in the court of ordinary by
Miss Lillie Farrar, an aunt of the
children, for appointment as guar
dian of their persons and property.
To this their mother, Mrs. Callie
Farrar, objected.
Judge Cheatham, of the court of
ordinary, was disqualified, and Judge
Raines of the city court presided.
The public was excluded from the
court-room during the trial.
The first move of the attorneys
for Mrs. Farrar was to object to the
entire proceedings on the ground
that the court had no jurisdiction,
alleging that Mrs. Farrar’s home,
and therefore the home of the chil
dren, was in Muscogee county. The
court overruled the motion to dis
miss, holding that Mrs. Farrar’s re
cent and only known residence was
in Dawson.
The order for citation was then at
tacked, it being contended that the
clerk of the superior court, who was
ex-officio ordinary during the time
intervening between the death of
Judge Hoberts and the election of
Judge Cheatham, had no judicial au
thority in such cases. The court
ruled against this contention, and
then attorneys representing that side
of the case made Mrs. Virginia W.
Huff of Columbus, also an aunt
of the children, a party to the case,
and asked that she be made the
guardian of their persons, and thatl
A. J. Carver of Dawson be made
guardian of their property.
The trial of the case then pro
ceeded. It was contended that Mrs.
Farrar was not a proper person to
have the children, and many witness
es were introduced. Some of the tes
timony, it is said, was extremely sen
sational. .
The decision of Judge Raines re
manded both the children and the
property to the care of Miss Lillie
Farrar as guardian, but it was furth
er decreed that should she marry or
die Mrs. Huff was to become guar
dian. It was also decreed that Mrs.
Callie Farrar, their mother, should
be permittea to see them at reasona
ble and convenient intervals.
The attorneys for Mrs. Farrar will
appeal the case to the superior court.
