Rules in the house of representatives

The house is still talking about a

painfully prominent. The tendency

made by a member fioiB West V a.
Mr. Randall denied the allegation
and said that he did not deal in per¬

The democrats who oppose a dis

do so 'principally upon the ground
that it will loosen'the purse strings
of the treasury and present an op¬

WAITS A r£E£ SCHOOL.
Emvoits Solid South: Let me beg
leave to express my feelings in re¬
iv'd to the Public School System in
our part of the district. We liavo
been waiting a long time lor the
Hoard of Education iu our county to
do something for us in our present
condition, but it seems that they are
determined iu their course not to
give some of us any benefit of the
public school, unless we make a
greater sacrifice than we are able to
undergo at present. A few of us
has paid our taxes for several years
for that purpose and received no re¬
turn for it. While it is but little,
we feel the effect in our families.
We arc situated so that we can’t
send our children to the places that
the board has designated in this dis¬
trict. The nearest point is cut off
by a creek that is too uncertain t<»
send children and the distance too
great to other points. We have ap¬
plication upon application by teach¬
ers of their own selection to teach for
us, the diilkully is this: there is
not enough of us in that condition to
employ them independently of the
public school fund and those that
are more conveniently situated will
send to other points to obtain the
benefit of the public school fund.
Now I hope I have laid our case
plainly before you. We have a good
school house that this community
has built for that purpose, and ifl
understand the school law it is for
the benefit of all both black and
white, f see no common sense in
eousolidaiing communities whoe it
lakes two teachers to the house
while some are deprived on account
of the distance they have to go. Now
gentlemen, f want io sav to you that
this settlement has sent up a peti¬
tion to your board, asking for you to
do something for ns. It may be that
some of you never saw it nor heard
of it. 1 am not able to say now, but
one thing is certain, it was handed
to the county school commissioner
for your consideration,.but not heard
of as yet.
I am impelled to children talk plain growing on ac¬
count of mv own
up iu ignorance as well as my neigh¬
bor’s for the Want of that obstacle
being in the, way ot notgiving us the
privilege of having the public school
taught at Honey Creek academy in
Rockdale county. When I sec so
niucliwriUen about the system of
education working so .well in our
county it makes me think of our
condition in this part of it. deprived
of so important a privilege depend*. as the
education of our children
Now. gentlemen ot the board and
