The people in some school districts
may not favor an eigtit mills tax for
^ the support of their own schools. If
' there he such people they may be
I . surprised to know that while they
refuse to levy this tax for the support
of their own ichools they are paying
taxes to give schools supported Dy
" an eight milis tax to other communitip?.
C >
ST ' ? .
This is made apparenc if tlnfe lk
taken to study # state appropriations
.for the support of schools. There is
in the state an appropriation oi
$140,000 foi'the benefit of school^
j|*; :n districts where an eight mills levy
is made. The money is given the
,..7 schools in these districts in
order to cpuse the schools to run
sevefr-months. The law provides that
-teachers at a salary, of ?100 per
(
month are to be employed in these
&" '*
schools.
flow every districz^in the state in
which is included your district, jjtfr.
Reader, is contributing to this appropriation
because the money comes
from the general state levy. You are
therefore contributing to run schools
in other districts lor seven momns
'( * and to pay the teachers in these disr
tricts $100-4>.er month, the idea being
, ' to get the belt teachers.
t * So Mr. Reader this is the kind of
' \ ' i
school .you are helping support in or
jj/ i
der to benefit the children of people
in other school districts. What are you
doing for the children in your own
" ' schobl district? Are you willing to
?
# pay your money in order that the
people in these other districts may
have what you deny your own chil?
dren, and your neighbors children?
** . '
Selfishness, if ' nothing else
should cause the people Qf this coun |
ty to get'into this jackpot and get
what is coming to us. And there Is
? - but one way to do it, and that way is
to levy a special tax of eight mills in
your district. When you have done
this you may employ a teacher, one
or mere,* at a salary of $100 per
month per teacher, and run your
schools for seven months. If your

money gives out the state steps in

We are paying, we say, our part
of this appropriation. Are we toe),
slow, too indifferent, or too trifling
to get the part whicii ought to come
back to us. 1

JOHN NEUFFER
DEFENDS UNCLE PAT'S
WHITE BREECHES
^
Little John Neuffer, who is a
chip off the old block, was being
teased yesterday afternoon by :-om*
of the older boys for wearing white
breeches. John has seen Col. Pat
Roche at Dr. Neuffer's lately whore
the colonel goes regularly at the
doctor's expense to give instructions
in the art of playing set-back.
John also is observant and has recorded
the fact that Col. Pat appears
in white, breeches during the
summer months whenever he goes
his rounds instructing the poor
players of the city. So yesterday,
instead of beii^g at all bashful because
of his -white breeches, John
replied to the taunts of the boys by
saying "Mr. Pat Roche and me are
he only people jn Abbeville riet
nough to wear white breeches."

COUNTENANCE TALIfS
Col. J. L. McMillan, millionaire
brick manufacturer (speaking now
of the millions of bricks which he
makes and not pf the millions of money
he does not make) Jias been hav-:l
ing an outing. Along with Col. Frank
Fetzsr, another brick experr, and a
few friends, Col. McMillan this week
betook himself to the mountains, and
has been doing some fine lishing. The
party had a goodTtime, and every-'
thing was lovely until the night be-'
fore the party was to leave. At that
cimf it was discovered that another
pleasure-seeker stopping at tne same
house had lost $220 and hadn't "used
his own judgment" erther. Somebody'
hp declared had stolen his money.
A hunt was commenced for the
money of course, and among the sus'j
'picious circumstances which attract-'
2d the attention of the loser was that}
3ol. McMillan's party left theX next,
morning before day and were getting
away from the scene as fast as their'
car would cover the distance. Some!
ten miles away the party was over-!
taken, the losejr and an officer con- j
fronting the brick manufacturer and|
/tarty and demanding that they allow,
>hemselves to be searched. This all
agreed to, and it Aras decided that he!
arith the worst looking countenance!'
should be searched first, whereupoi |
the officer mounted on Abbeville's
brick king (sometimes of Dyion, Si
c.). - ' : , i
( Of course no money was found,
but the officer and the man who lost
the money at first said tills didn't
prove anything because me moneyi
might have been hid. After looking
over th6 crowd and going through
their baeeaee thotlerh and finding no
mountain juice, the officer declared J
that the arrested party were all inr
nocent. He said that he could look at
Col. McMillan's face and tell that if
he had either two hundred dollars ortwo
dollars, he would invest it all
in "licker," ^nd that as he had none
of this article, and as he could not
have drunk two hundred dollars worth

in the short time which had elapsed
since the money was stolen, and as he
knew the crowd he had in hind would
not give away any "licker," to say
nothing cf pouring it out, he found
everybody not guilty and told them to
go on their way rejoicing.
All of which is very well, but it
leads us to suggest that" when a
crowd of people go to the mountains
they should look the part. There is
no surprise on our part'when a crowd
of laboring-men, who d? not look the
part of regular sports, are arrested
under the circumstances ctatei. Laboring
men should not go to the
mountains. They should esay ax home
and make bricks, or do other work,
and allow professional men and fur-J
niture dealers to do the mountaining.j
