What Would the Rate he if Local
Taxation is in
The law says that when a coun
ty votes local taxation for schools
the County Comiwssoners of
Roads and Revenues shall levy a
local tax as recommxndel by ths
County Board of Education. Tne
Board of Education and not the
County Commissioners fix the
rate. Our present Board of
Education is committed to a one
mill rate, that is, 10 cents on the
hundred dallars, or one dollar on
the thousand dollars.
The School fund for Wavne
County at present comes entirely
from State taxes, and consists of
$8.04 per child school age, mak¬
ing a total for the present year
of $9,780.80. With this the
Board is able to give only a four
months term (and this not en¬
tirely free), and do but little in
P | of building, repairing
atlf I ting school houses.
Tins year’s tax returns, eorpol¬ little
iticos and all, show just a
less five and a half million dol¬
lars worth of property in Wayne
County. It is estimated that one
million dollars of this is in the
town of Jesup whirsh had a local
,-hool system of its own which
would not be affected l.y a
county local tax. This would
ie&ve four and a half million sub¬
ject to taxation in the county
system. One mill on this would
give $4,500, which, added to what
we get from the State would
raise our annual school fund to

like $14,000. With
this amount the Board could give
a six months term entirely free
to every child in the county, and
do considerably more than at
present in building, seating, etc.
With one and a half or two
mills the Board could run a six
months free term and build and
equip all school houses The rate
would never exceed one mill,
however, unless the tax payers
themselves demanded it. The
objection has arisen that some
future Board of Education might
put on an unjust or burdensome
rate This objection has no
weight, because the members of
the Board are only representatives
of the people tnd1 are responsible
to them Ihey (Board members)
are elected by the Grand Jury,
and our Grand Junes would pro
bab y find out how a man stood
on the local school tax matter be
fore they elected him a school
board member Furthermore,
any board snould ever want to
evy an unreasonable rate,
law now provides that an election
can be called for voting out local
taxation just as it is voted in.
The above facts show conclusi¬
vely that there is absolutely no¬
thing to fear from the rate when
our County votes local taxation
on September 21st.

Boys Bitten by Snake
Ben Spell and Geo. Owens, fix
and twelve years of age res¬
pectively were bitten by a small
rattlesnake while on their way to
school last Friday morning. They
were passing near the home of
Mr. Joe Drawdy at the time and
but for this fact the bites would
probably have resulted fatally.
The rattler was lying in the
road completely hidden by a
small bush when Ben Spell the
older boy stepped on him and be¬
fore he could get away from the
was bitten on the leg.
Too frightened to warn him in
time, the Owens bo.y who was
following closely was also bitten
on the leg. They went immed¬
iately tothe home of Mr. Drawdy
a very short distance where the
wounds were attended to as
speedily as possible. They were
then brought to Jcsuu where
rmdical treatment was given and
are now out of all danger.
