f lie imithiield Herald. F. T. BOOKER, Proprietor. Saturday, April 30, 1887. HO.. A. I. WAODEIjL. It is now certain that this dis tinguished Carolinian will be with us at our celebration on the 10th of May. We approve of the selection of the committee most heartily. As an orator Colonel Waddell has but few equals in the land, and we expect a tre mendous crowd to greet him and his eulogy of the men who fell at Bentonville on the 10th of May. Colonel AVaddell has long been prominent in Xorth Caro lina, for a long time did honor to his State and District in Con gress. He is still in the prime of life, and has a future before him which will be full of use fulness to his State. TIE E PEHTESTI4RY SlUTIXY The conduct of the authorities of the Penitentiary, allowing the convicts to act in such a dis graceful manner deserves reproof. The convicts held a meeting in the dining room of the institu tion, and actually appointed a committee to confer with their bosses and arrange an equitable settlement of the difficulties which existed between the bosses and the convicts. For a time there was a real question as to who should rule, the managers and guards or the convicts. One of the convicts had been knocked down and this caused a great deal of excitement which re sulted in the disgraceful conduct which followed. To allow the convicts to act in such a manner, admits of no excuse. They tore up the fiocrs, they insulted the guards, they refused point blank to go in their cells, and they held a mass meeting in the dining room appointing a committee to confer, &c. The concern must be poorly managed to allow such conduct. The Inter-Slate Commission declines to be interpreters ad lib, of the Commerce Act to all and sundry who may have real or ficticious questions to ask what its clauses include, and what they don't include. The commission is right ; let rail roads, shippers and travellers read the law according to their respective lights, and the com mission will then step in and make straight what is crooked. Three years ago the Republi can leaders and newspapers de clarded with one accord, that the restoration of the Democratic party to power meant a severe check to the Union sentiment, j the payment of the Confederate ' war debt, the re-enslavement of the negro, the adoption of a fis cal policy that would depreciate the currency and result in wide spread financial ruin and the total paralysis of our business affairs. Not one of these pre dictions has been fulfilled, and the United States are stronger to-day in every field of enter prise that at any previous period before or since the war. News and Courier. We would like to see a can vass made for office say for U. S. Senator between Senator Vance arid some friend of Civil Service. We would like to see the issue made before the Demo crats as to whether they the offices of the Government should be given to honest, faithful, thoroughly qualified Democrats or divided between the parties. The choice to embrace all offices in the country from President to constable to take in all offices Federal, State, county and mu nicipal. Let this arrant and colossal humbug be brought di rectly before the sovereigns. If it is indeed such an excellent, such an indispensable thing for parties by all means let us have it in all departments and in all kinds of offices. We would like for Senator Vance and Gen. Cox j "N'nrt.h Carolina upon i that issue and let the Democrats then vote upon it. Wil. Star. M-rXI .11. SCHOOL TAX. It has been charged throughout the county " of of Johnston that the 12 cents "special school tax" levied on the 100 worth of property, and 38 cents levied on the poll by the county commissioners on the 6th, day of June, 1886, was the result of a demand made by the county board of education. The county board of education will not seek to shirk any respon sibility for what it has or has not done for the schools under its care ; and in order that the reponsibility of the levy and of the rate of the special school tax may rest where it belongs, we ask the people of the comity to examine the facts as herein set forth and judge for themselves. Section 2-390 of the public scholl law says, "The county board of education, on or before the annual meeting of the com missioners and justices of peace for levying county taxes, shall make an estimate of the amount of money necessary to maintain the schools for four months and submit it to the county commis sioners. "Tliis we did and nothing more. This, we were compelled, under oath, to do. But this es timate was not as much as the commissioners saw fit to levy. We found, after careful con sideration that under as rigid a system of economy as was pos sible for the good of the schools we would need a supplementary fund of 5,000 to meet the im perative requirements of the law under which we were acting. We knew full well the state of public feeling on this question, yet under the law we could exer cise no choice in the matter. Therefore we recommended, the levying of the above specified sum to the commissioners. Our estimate of the sum needed and our reccommendation of the rate of taxation to raise it was in writing and carefully prepared. In that written instrument it was stated that 8 cents on the $100 worth of property and 25 J cents on each poll would be sufficient o raise the amount required by law. The commissioners, after con sultation with their attorney , adopted our recommendation and ordered the levy of 8 cents on the 100 worth of property and 25 cents on the poll. Beyond this point in this mat ter the county board of education has no responsibility. After the board of commission ers had ordered the levy recom mended by the board of educa tion, it for some reason known to the members of said board, reconsidered the motion by which our recommendation of a levy of 8 cents and 25 cents on prop erty and poll respectively, was ordered and then passed a sub stitute ordering a levy of 12-g cents and 38 cents on property and poll respectively. This was done against the judgment and the written recommendation of the board of education. For this action of the board of com missioners in the adoption of this substitute we will not be responsible. Capt. J!sse Hinnant, then a commissioner, voted against the motion to reconsider the first or der and also against the substi- tute, saying at the time, "Gen tleman let us not give more than we are asked for." Our Supreme Court in deter mining the meaning and force of section 2590 of our public school law, in tli e Sampson county case, declares that the section is con stitutional .and binding, provided there is a sufficient margin up to the constitutional limit of taxa tion; and that the county board of commissioners must levy on tlte estimate of the county board of education, unless this estimate exceeds the constitutional limit and then the commissioners must stop at the limit fixed by the constitution. Our estimate did not reach this limit, and if the law as interpre ted by the Supreme Court had been followed by the commis sioners, the poll tax ior 1886 would have been $1.8 7 instead of 2.00. As before stated, the estimate of the board of education was 8 cents on the 100 worth of prop erty and 25 cents on the poll. This can be found by reference to our records, kept by our wor thy county Superintendent, Mr. Ira T. Turlington. We find by reference to the re cord book of the county commis sioners that in the record of pro ceedings had by the commission ers on June 6th, 1886, this entry was made. "A special school tax of 12 cents was levied, the same being demanded by the board of education" (the italics are ours.) This entry does not represent the iacts Our estimate and recommenda tion to the board of commission- ; ers on that day was in writing and 8 cents was our written es timate. Our. records show our action. No member of the board ever consented to its being changed. We placed the estimate before ! the coinmisssoners in obedience to the law under which we acted. We made no demand. No member of the board of commissioners understood it as a demand. We, as a board of education, did just what the law required at our hands and no more. For what we did we will not shirk the re sponsibility. The purpose of this- card is to protect the public school system of the county from harm. This purpose will be served when the public shall fully understand the matter of the levy of the special school tax for 1886 and when the responsibility therefor shall be placed where -it properly belongs.
