SiNCE BULLOCK ADMiNiSTRA
TION THE STATE HAS BEEN
ONE YEAR BEHIND WITH AP
PROPRI*ATIONS.
It is altogether probable that the
state legislature at Its next session
In June will take some 4 action to
wards appropriating a sufficient
amount, estimated at $1,000,000, to
cover the annual di licit in the state
school fund created by

hate treasurer To
appartlonment of the payment of
school teachers as there are not suf
ficient funds lu hand until the spec
ial school tax levy 1 collided in the
autumn of each year.
This lack of funis has existed for
the last thltrty-sevcn years. In 1870
when former Governor Bullock was
he chief executive of the state, the
pxir diem of .the members of the
legislature way $9. Tho session of
the legislature of 1870 lasted for 154
days and no money was available
tor the payment of the legislators
■vili) the exception, oi the school
fund.
The legislature authorized the
treasurer to pay the stale's indebt
edness to ttfe legislators, out of the
fund. The money was not paid Lack
and for thirty-seven yarn's the ap-
propriatlon for tne state schools has
been one year behind.
This has caused the greatest in
convenit nee to those dependent up
on the funds, but the officials have
been powerless to overcome Urn diffi
culty, as only an act of the legis
lature could change tho state of rsf
fairs. Tiiis has never been done
and it is thought that considerable
Pivß-ure will be brought to bear on
the legislature.
The state has been able to pay
a portion of the seiiool fund before
the fall of each year by advancing
(he funds secured from the lease ot
the slate road, liquor taxes and
other fluffs available.
The grdjter bulk of the money for
chools cannot be paid however,

NEGRO AT EVERETT WANTED
TO DO BROWNSVILLE ACT.
Harry Johnson, a nrgro, tried to
do the Biiownsville act at Everett
City Monday and for awile made the
people of that little city think thai
he was going to “shoot up” the town.
He appeared at the depot wdth a dou
uie-barreii shot gun and proceeded to
frighten the Vita out of several other
negroes. He then tried the same
tnlng on some of the employees of
the and pot and after repeated threats
did discharge the gun several times
very near to the telegraph office
He finally lift the station and Uhiet
Clerk Roden, of the Southern ra
way office came to this city and
swore* out warrants for the arrest of
the negro.

made wise and fas not to be found
Mr. Pyles walked as far as Mt

successful and he had to return to
the city without hla man. A special
officer has been detailed to keep a
sharp lookout for Johnson however,
and he may yet have to answer to
a Glynn court for his conduct.
