CITY VOTERS ARE URGED TO RATIFY THE AMENDMENT TO THE NEW LAW THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOLS. To the Voters of the City of Ashevllle: The. School Committee of Ashevllle earnestly lirges the voters to ratify at the coming election the amendment to the school Taw recently passed by, the legislature and to be submitted tq the vote of the people. This amendment, a notice of which may be seen in the papers of the city, changes the school tax from 20 cents on each $100 valua tion of property and 60 cents on each poll', to 30 cents on property and 90 cents on poll. . A brief sketch of the growth of the schools will demonstrate the need of an increase- in the school tax if our schools, are to provide ropm for the children of the city. The city schools were started in January, 1888, and for two years a tax of SO cents on proper ty and SO cents on poll was levied for their support. This tax was reduced by the legislature of 1889 to the pres ent rate, and for 10 years the tax has remained at this rate. In these 10 years three hew buildings have been erected;, the enrollment of pupils has grown from 1200 to 2200, an increase of 1000; many of the rooms are so crowd ed that there are from 60 to 75 pupils to a. room, and it is impossible to teach them properly, and there are nearly 200 -children in the Factory district for whom the Committee-can da nothing, unless money can be had with which to open a school in that section of the city. In the past four years the schools have increased nearly 700 in enrollment. The present income from property and poll tax in this city is about $10, 000, and this sum added to the amount received from the county is much too small to run a term of nine months. Last session the schools ran only eight months. This session they are able to run a full term only because the school fund is supplemented by the city. If the citizens of Asheville wish their schools to run not less than 'nine months; if they wish a seat for every child that desires to go to school; it they do not wish the school rooms to be crowded to an unhealthy degree; and if they wish a good school opened in the Factory district, where there is a crying need for a public school, then let them "see to it that they cast a vote for the schools at; the May election. A vote for this amendment is a vote for the little, children and their betterment. A vote against it is a vote in favor of ignorance. The people Of the city can not afford to neglect the children, and should not fail to provide schools, such that every one, from the richest to the poorest; may have! the opportu nity of getting an education. And the Committee confidently appeals to the patriotism of the citizens to uphold and -sustain the public schools. W. F. SNIDER, Chairman. From The Dally Citizen, i Jt. THE ASHEVILELE SCHOOLS. I , (By Prof. Eggleston.) .; . The schools can not run nine months at the presen tax rate of 20 ce'nta on the $100 valuation- of property. They nave to beg help every year from the board of aldermen, which sometimes helps and ometimes does not. It is proposed to change the 'tax rate from 20 cent on the $100 of property to 30 cents and the school poll from 60 cents to 90 cents, and relieve the board of aldermen of the necessity of giving the schools mon ey to help them run a full term. A property holder announces that he will not vote for this amendment, be cause, "one third of the, school taxes paid by the white people goes to the negroes." The gentleman has1 been misinformed. The colored -people of Asheville have one-fourth of the school buildings one building;, they get one sixth of the school fund; the tax books show that they contribute to school taxes at least one half of this and that1! the white people are actually giving them between one-twelfth and one-fifteenth of; the school fund. There is some difference between "one third" and one fifteenth. Another objection raised is that 'the increase atked for really means 30 cents in addition to the 20 'cents now received. Of .' course nobody believes this, but 'that does oat prevent some people from saying so. One tax payer says, "we ought to wait until there Is a surplus in the city treasury before we talk about an In crease." If we do we" will wait till the crack of doom. - Another man says he will not vote for any school tax because he is not go ing to have his wife's property taxed for schools. But next session, when his child, who is attending the public schools, applies for admission in the next grade, this will be the condition of affairs; Eighty children asking for sefUa in that room. Thirty snouia De excluded, and if his child should1 hap pen to be in this latter number, here Is what he will save by the transaction: Saved ons $15,000 valuation of property, $15; paid W for nine months tuition for his child at a private school, $29.25; net -loss,. $14.2 5 plus 29 other chil dren excluded from that one grade and forced to go to a private school or no uiVhyvtf at oil Or aunrx-tse we calculate I the savin of a tax payer who has a 1 boy in the seventh : grade this session. and who thinks we can not "afford" to increase taxes for schools: 'mere wm be only 95 pupils applying for admis sion to the eighth grade next sessfcm. The grade should either be cut to flf tv or cut off entirely. Taking the first alternative and supposing that hd boy , may in some way be one of those cut off.the preposition would tand thus: Saved on $8,000 valuation of property. $8. paid out to nine months tuition for his boy at a private school, $45; net loss,. $37; net gain, forty-four other children excluded from the f eighth grade and forced to go to a private school or no school at all. The cry Is raised that Asheville has done "very generously" by her public schools. Let us see about this: School bonds carried by the city, $50,000; school properties owned by the city, $65,000; cost to the city to educate the public school children this session, $18,600; cost to 'educate these j children at private schools, $65,000; net gain to the city. $46,400 a year. What is the average cost of a pupil at our public i schools? Ninety-five cents a month. A public school that educates its pupils at $1.10 a month is considered econom ical. How does Asheville educate her children at 95 cents, then? By putting 55, 65, and 75 pupila to a room, and by underpaying her teachers. What is ; the highest salary paid to the white teach ers In our schools by the year, exclu sive of principal? Thirty-seven idpl lars and fifty cents a month, counting twelve months to the year, and only one' teacher gets that amount. "But teachers dont have .to ' teach during three of those months!" No, but they have to eat during those three months Wfoait Is the average salary paid to, the white teachers? Thirty-five dollars and ten cents a month, when the schools run nine months When ' they run eight months it is that much less. It is a fact that the school committee has been entirely unable to make any definite contract with the teachers: for several years, excepts by the month, as the committee does not know udder the present arrangement whether a ses sion will be seven, eight, or nine months. The present overcrowding has been permitted because the committee ha3 believed that the people of the ;city would come to the relief of the schools at this election. 'What is the lowest sala ry paid to any white teacher In our public schools by the year? Fifteen dollars a month, counting twelve months to the year! And yet every teacher is expected by the authorities and the patrons to dress nicely. Why does the committee pay such miserable salaries? Because either the children must be starved of an education or the teachers starved of a respectable liv ing. , At present, with the fearfully crowded condition of our schools land the hundreds of children out of j the schools, the children are being starved of an education some entirely, some partially. But the cry Is raised. "Cut off the ninth. High tenth, School!" eleventh It- takes the and twelfth grades to make a High School. We haven.t a High School. "We have jonly two years of a High School. Suppose the two years we now have, the ninth and tenth,' were cut off , and suppose the eighth grade were also cut off, how much would be saved? One hundred and twenty dollars a month. How many children would be turned out of school? One hundred and ' flfty"chil- i - dren. How many teactoerg could be employed for this amount? Three. How many new teachers are actually aeeded in the lower grades of the schools, with forty-five pupils to a room? Thirteen.1 What relief to the schools would be given by cutting off the eighth, ninth and tenth grades? It would employ only three teachers where thirteen are heeded. What would become of the 150 children turn ed out pf the eighth, ninth and tenth grades? Not over fifty of them -wkmld go to private schools.' The one hun dred could go out and graze. How much would it cost these fifty at pri vate schools? , Two hundred dollars a month. How much does it cost the city to educate the 150 at the I public schools? One hundred and twenty1 dol lars a month. And yet there aje men yes, and women, too who have never so much as darkened the doors of our public schools with their presence; who do not know what we Sire -doing for the children of the city, and who care; less. who talk of turning these 150 children on the streets, and then caW this 'busi ness" and "economy." We complain of high taxes' in Ashe ville. For city tax alone, on every; $100 of personal property, Wilmington, N. C. pays $1.75. For city poll, $3.96. Moreover, she has to pay her county and state taxes as well as Asheville. Atlanta pays $1.25 on real and person al property for city taxes, and her to tal property tax for city and state, not counting poll tax or a special leyy of $3 on each Improved piece of realty, is nearly $2.50. and Atlanta has a j very high valuation of property. Whai are the citizens of Asheville going to do with their schools and their school children? A vote for the schools; is a vote to relieve our overcrowded condi tion; a vote to put 200 children in the factory district in school; a vote to; save the schools from turning away from its doors next session at least 500 children. A failure to vote ait all to a ; vote against the schools and in favor of ig norance. There will bir tt separate bal lot box on May 1 at each precinct, where ejvery registered voter can cast a ballot for the schools, even if he votes for nothing else. Citizens of Asheville, protect children! O your J. D. EGGLESTON, JR. From the Dally Gazette. Uusluess Mn In Session. Southern Pikks, N. O., April 21.

I In the meantime General McArthur's division is in front .of Calumpit, pre paring to attack the rebel stronghold, and General Hale, with several guns, is threatening the enemy's flank. A few rebels between Novaliehes and La Loma have persistently interfered with tele graphic communication, but the signal corps has repaired the breaks and cap tured several prisoners. : A small body of rebels at Takktay was discovered this morning by the ar mored launch Nahidan.

London, April 25. The three hun dredth anniversary of the birth of Oliver Cromwell has furnished the occasion for biographies, appreciative article, portraits in all the papers and celebra tions in various parts of the country in honor of the lord protector of the Brit ish commonwealth. Dr. Joseph Parker, minister of the City Temple, this city, took the subisct as a thgoje for his sermon this afternoon and delivered an extraordinary oration 10 a large congregation. In the course of his remarks he attacked the Prince of Wales as a "certain card playing prince," After eulogizing Cromwell Dr. Parker said: "When the prince fails then let the ountry mourn. We looked to princes for noble deeds and a high example. When I see my prince and my premier on a race course I don'c like it."

NEORO PREACHERS ANGRY Former Attorney General Barber of South Carolina Believes In Lynching All Blacks Confessedly Guilty of Criminal Assault. New York, April 25. W. B. Barber, ex-attorney general of South Carolina, who has just returned from Lake City, S. C where he was prosecuting attor ney for the government in the trial of the lynchers of Postmaster Baker, says: "I believe in the lynching of negroes confessedly guilty of criminal assault, i "It is the only protection of the women ' of the south, especially of the-rural dis tricts. Otherwise, I am opposed to lynching. j- "I feel sorry for the south that this 1 blot is upon her. It affects us all over the world. It robs us of prosperity and the high moral and social position to which we are entitled. It ruins the worth of our investments. If it is not stopped then Bhut the schoolhouses, burn the books, tear down the churches and admit to the world that Anglo Saxon oivilizatie& is a failure." Colonel Ingersoll Bitter. Colonel Robert Q. Ingersoll says of the lynchings in Georgia: "I suppose these outrages down there are frightful crimes and make the same impression on my mind that they do on the minds ofall civilized people. I know ef no words strong enough, bitter enough, to express my' indignation and horror. The horrors were perpetrated in time of justice.- The savages who did these things belong to the superior race. They are citizens of the great re public. And yet it does not seem possi ble that such fiends are human beings. They are a disgrace to our country, our century and our race. "Let m.9 say that what I have said is gattery compared with what I f eeL When X think of the other lynching if the poor man mutilated and hanged without the slightest evidence, of the negro who said that these ; murders would be avenged, and who were bru tally murdered for the utterance of a natural feeling I am utterly at a loss for words. Are the white people in sane? Has mercy fled to beasts? Has the United States no power to protect a itizen? A nation that cannot or will not protect its oitiaens in time of peace has no right to ask its citizens to pro tect it in time of war." Horace Buinstead Talks. Rev. Horace Bumstead, president of the Atlanta university of Atlanta, was interviewed in regard to the lynching in that state. He said: "In common with all law abiding Americans, I cannot but deplore the horrible transactions of the last day or two in my own state of Georgia. Aw ful as is the injustice of such dealings toward the negro race, their results are still more terrible in their effect on the white race in undermining all respect for law. "It is a gratifying sign of the times that such a good southern man as ex Governor Atkinson should boldly en deavor to stem the tide of wrong and should declare his willingness to testify against the wrongdoers. "It is only as the number of such men can be increased in the south that that section can hope to perpetuate the best American civilization within her bor ders." Negro Ministers Protest. The negro ministers of New York city, at a meeting in St. Mark's Meth odist Episcopal church, adopted resolu tions denouncing the Georgia lynch ings. Kev. William H. Brooks of St. Mark's church was among the speakers. We have no sympathy," he said, "with the crime charged against the negro and throughout the south, but whatever the orime we believe there is sufficient law to protect them until the trial comes. I hope and trust that the secular and religious papers and' pulpits will give their aid and throw their in fluence on the side of right.J Rev. B. L. Tompkins, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian ohuron, said: "I would much rather be a Filipino and be under the Spanish yoke than under the law and order now practiced in Georgia."
