SCHOOL FEES ILLEGAL No Charge of Any Kind Can be Made in Common Schools. Atlanta, Ga. —That a fee of any kind can not be charged legally in the common schools of the state was set fortli fully in a decission of the supreme court. The ease involving this important point was raised in Montgomery coun ty when fourteen children were, ex cluded from the Mount Vernon and Ally school districts in that county because their parents refused to pay a matriculation fee of $2.50, charged, in the schools in those districts. Shannon and others, parents of the excluded children, brought man damus proceedings against, the boards of trustees of the two districts to compel them to admit the. children. It was contended that the parents were all residents and tax payers of the district, and that as the schools were maintained out of the common school funds they hud no legal right to exclude the children. Judge Martin issued the manda mus and the supreme court sustain ed him. It was held a charge for I matriculation or any oilier fee could not be. legally imposed as a condi tion of entrance to the school. j MAJORITY OVER 25,000 AGAINST AMENDMENT i Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 30. —Later returns from the state indicate ,that yesterday's majority against the pro , hibition constitutional amendment, will run above 25,000. II appears that a , vote of not less than 125,000 was poll ed, the largest in the history of the. state. As the sweeping nature of the de feat of the amendment is realized there is a disposition in all circles to analyze the result for its proba ble effect on future legislation in the state. Industrial leaders and busi ness men of Birmingham are almost unanimous in their belief that the result was a rebuke to recent drastic legislation and tile declaration of the people of Alabama of their deterinlna tion to return to conservatism. Leaders of the amendment forces were overwhelmed by the news of the result as they were absolutely confident of victory up to the last moment. Today the temperance people them selves are receiving the blame for Hie defeat of the amendment. Coun ties which have had prohibition for twenty-five years voted against the amendment while in other sections, it is declared the temperance workers, feeling secure in victory, failed to do the proper work at the polls. The defeat of the amendment is not considered a straight-out anti prohibition victory and it is not re garded as likely that the state will again go back to conditions existing before the state-wide law was adopt ed. However, modifications of the present laws are expected bythe next legislature. i ______ Looking One's Best.
