STATE SCHOOL TAX
Supt. Swearlngen Analyzes Reports
From Counties and Points Out
Defects in Present System.
Columbia.?The annual report of the
44 county superintendent* of education
for the scholastic year 1915-16 have
been carefully checked in the office of
the state superintendent. One of the
most interesting tables compiled for
the information of the legislature
shows the per capita expenditure per
pupil on the basis of enrollment in
the 44 counties.
"A careful study of the figures." Suruirlnfnn/lont
Qntrno rl r* oron nol/1
days ago. "reveals one of the pressing
public school needs of the state, namely,
a state school tax to guarantee
minimum school facilities In every district.
The constitution of 1895 makes
the county the unit of school taxation.
The state department of education
has insistently urged the necessity of
basing "the public school system on
state support rather than on county
support. A white pupil in Horry is
allowed $7.65 a year, while the same
child In Sumter is allowed $48.50. Of,
course, these extremes vary from year
to year. But in llorry the white population
is large and the wealth small,
whereas in Sumter the white population
is small and the wealth considerable.
"The three-mill constitutional tax
| is collected on every dollar of property
in the state. This makes people
believe that the three-mill tax is a
state tnx. In fact, the three-mill constitutional
tax is only a county tax.
since every cent collected in the counj
ty is retained and expended in the
same county.
"The figures for the year show that.
I in Sumter and Richland the per capita
outlay was more than $40 per child,
i The result is largely due to extensive
building improvements during the
year. In Jasper and Darlington the
per capita expenditure was between
430 flnri 410 1 Qrirotv rlno

cause. In Darlington, however, consolidation.
transportation, a seven
months' term, and the teaching of agriculture
must be counted In this cost.
The per capita of $34.63 in this county
is largely supplied by the strong
school spirit impelling the people of
every district to vote an adequate local
tax. Darlington is a rich, prosperous
and homogeneous county; but these
figures show that its public schools
are costing between $4 and $5 a month
for every child enrolled. Under such
conditions the taxpayers have a right
to demand efficient schools.
"In ten counties. Ileaufort, Calhoun.
Charleston. Lee, Barnwell, Florence,
Fairfield. Dillon, Orangeburg and
Bamberg, the cost per pupil was between
$20 and ^30.
"It Is interesting to note that the
leading cotton county of Marlboro
stands 15th with an expenditure of
$19.78 per white pupil. In the group
expending between $10 and $20 stand
27 counties. Lancaster ranking 41st
with an outlay of $10.52 per white
child.
"Three counties. Colleton. Oconee
and Horry, spend less than $10 a
child. Students of educational conditions
in the state can not fail to observe
the low nrnonilHiiM <" 1

with a majority white population in
contrast with th high expenditure In
counties with a majority negro population.
"The average for the state was
$17.02 against $16.22 a year ago. The
counties of the state are divided Into
two equal groups with respect to this
state average?22 counties stand above
and 22 below this median line. The
first group begins with Sumter and
ends with Berkeley. The second group
begins with Edgefield and ends with
Horry. But in the second group 60
per cent of the white pupils are enrolled."

nestled In their midst from which he
had been an exile for many months.
Suddenly Suntu pulled himself together
with a start, as he realized that
a small girl with u wistful look was
standing before him.
"Well, my dear?" Santa Claus held
out his hand, and his kindly voice and
confidential smile seemed to reassure
the little girl, for she came nearer and
nearer and smiled back timidly.
"You've come to tell me what you
want? Where's your mamma, honey?" :
"I?I haven't any," she replied id ,

her little hand into his big one. "I

"I see." Suntu'M rosy cheeks grew
Just a little redder, for Bertha was j
the name thut hud been In his
thoughts u moment before, and involuntarily,
for that name's sake, his manner
held a special friendly interest for
the plululy dressed, thin-faced little
girl. "Well, do you know what your .
auntie wants me to bring her?" Santa
smiled behind his beard at the incongruous
situation, but the child's look
was gravely concerned.
"That's just the trouble, Mr. Kris!
But I know there's something she
wants very much. She was crying yesterday,
and when I asked her how
she could feel bad so near Christmas, I
she said that was just it, und when
I nsked her some more questions, she
'splained that she had a lovely Christtuus
present last year, and she lost
it, and it was her own fault, and now
she'd never have it ugnlu. But she
wouldn't tell me what It was."
"Don't you remember what presents
she hud last yeur?"
"Oh. she didn't live with us then.

take care of me when?when mamma

bruvely. "Aunt Bertha lived 'way up
In the mountains, with grandma and
grundpa, so of course I don't know
about her Christmas presents. I
thought, maybe, as you're u?a sort of
a fairy, you would know how to flnd
out."
"And where does she live?" he asked,
with his heart thumping under the
scurlet coat In a manner 111 befitting
his age and dignity. The little girl
gave an address which he recognized
as a small street In a section of the
city near his own modest lodgihg.
"Now, don't you worry any more
about It," he charged her as he wrote It
down. "T our., ft."* " "'"i ?i ?

He nodded to her once more as she
disappeared in the crowd, and his eyes 1
followed her progress to the distant
doll corner. Just one glimpse he
caught of the tull girl who stepped
from behind th% showcase and smiled
down into the happy little upturned
face, but it wus enough to make the
glittering scene look misty for a moment.

Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Prescription;
Overcomes Kidney Trouble
It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a remarkable
degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some assistance
when needed. We take less exercise,
drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brickdust
or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kidneys
require help immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder rem-sdy is l)r. Kilmer's SwampRoot.
There is nothing else like it. It
is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in private
practice and it is sure to benefit you.
