THE PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND.
Apportioned To Counties By
State School Commissioner
Merritt.
State School Commissioner W.
B. Merritt has just completed the
work of apportioning th. state
school for 1905, and the Atlanta
Constitution of Sunday morning
publishes a table showing what
each county of the state will re¬
ceive foi school purposes during
the year. The table also shows
what each local school system
will receive.
The public school fund of the
state, which is derived from va¬
rious sources, including $1,000,
000 from direct taxation, $200,000
from the Western & Atlantic ren¬
tal, $270,000 from poll taxes,
$170,000 from the liquor tax, and
smaller amounts from various
other sources, will be more than
•$1,723,000 in 1905, or $200,000
more than has ever been distri¬
buted. This increase is due to
the increase in the general ap¬
propriation from $800,000 to $1,
000 , 000 .
In addition to the foregoing
there will be during the year
about $200,000, derived from the
hire of convicts, which will be
distributed among the 108 coun¬
ties which do not receive felony
convicts from the state for work¬
ing their public roads. This
amount has not, of course been
included in the table just issued
by the state school commissioner,
because it js not apportioned
among nil the counties. As n
matter of fact, therefore, the to¬
tal school fund for 1905 will be
more than $1,900,000.
The apportionment of the school
fund for 1905 was made on a ba¬
sis of the t- hool population ac¬
cording to the school census taken
m 190S
Following is the apportionment
of the regular school fund]Jfor
1905 for the fifteen counties com¬
posing the Second Congressional
district:
Baker...............................$ 6,039.25
Berrien........................... 15,013 00
Calhoun.......................... 7,313.25
Clay.............................. 6,129.90
Colquitt......................... 10,008.25
Decatur......................... 21,964.25
Dougherty.................... 10,775.10
Early.............................. 9,611.35
Miller............................... 4,855.90
Mitchell........................... 13,467.65
Quitman.......................... 3,373 65
Randolph...................... 14,780-85
Teirell............................ 12,7(15.80
Thomas........................... 21,934.85
Worth............................ 14,587 30
From the above it will be seen
that Mitchell county will receive
from the public school fund for
the support of common schools
for 1905 the surn of §13,467.65,
and to this sum will be added her
portion of the $200,000 that will
be derived from the hire of state
convicts.

Bacon ton, Dec. 7-04.
The days of the past week have
been indeed gloomy, and I am
afraid that they, while very nec¬
essary for the continuance of a
prosperous country, have caused
a shadow of disgust, to some ex¬
tent. to pass before our eyes.
But anticipations of bright, cool,
sunshiney days erase the shadow
and fill our hearts with gladness.
It has been long since the cold
winter days greeted us, but soor
our longing for the summer’s end
will be satisfied by a cold north
wind which shall kiss evert
cheek of South Georgia. This
we know.
We, the members of the Meth¬
odist church at Baconton, and in
this we presume we are joined
by the Methodist of Camilla, ex¬
tend our grateful thanks to the
South Georgia Conference for re¬
turning to us as our pastor for
another twelve months, Rev. C.
T. Clark. This is his third year
on this charge and we have never
tired listening to his able ser¬
mons and Christian admonition
and don’t think we ever will.
Sunday schools held sessions
at both chu rches Sunday. Rev.
Clark being in attendance at con¬
ference there was no preaching
at the Methodist church, never¬
theless the B. Y. P. U. rendered
a splendid program during the
regular preaching hour.
A splendid League program
'wa8 conducted by Mr. Osceola
Glausier at 3:30 p. m.
The friends of Mr. E A Mc¬
Collum are sorry to know that he
has been very ill fox several days
and as our resident doctor was
away it became necessary to take
him to Albany lor treatment,
however he has returned to his
home and his friends will be glad
to see him at bis post again soon.
Mr. John Turner, a former cit¬
izen, has returned to Baconton
and is doing business in the store
formerly occupied by Mr. D. B.
Turner.
Mr. I). B. Turner has purchas
ed land in Pelham, and we learn
that lie will soon become a citizen
of that thriving littlb city.
Mr. Hubert McCollum, of Al¬
bany, spent part of last Sunday
with relatives in baconton.
Mr. Ernest Joiner spent last
Sunday with his parents in Ca¬
milla. School Boy.
The above was m tended for
last week's issue of the Enter¬
prise. but was crowded out on
account of the extra run of
Christmas advertisements.
