Our Legislature meets on the 4th day of January, and much expectation by the peo pie as to what will be done ie manifest; all the people are more or less exercised over what our next Legislature will do as regards the elec- ion law, schools, taxes, etc. There is growing sentiment umong the tax, payers of the state to have the law chang ed so that the school taxes which the white people pay will be applied to the white schools, and the taxes paid by the colored tax payers will be applied to the colored schools. White people say that they are getting tired being taxed to educate ne groes and demand a change in the law, or rather the con stitution.

It is asserted that the more you educate the ne gro the meaner he gets-that all thegood negroes are those who work and make an honest living, that the mean negroes are those who are educated by the taxts of the whites, thse fellows make the pieachers, lawyers, office holders, politicians, etc. It is charged by the whites that these kind of negroes do all the meanness, and cause all the trouble, produce the race troubles, etc. We are individually willing for the law to be changed and give the white children a better chance Let each race educuteitsotvn children, we say. ll'e see that some otthepa-ners are advocating an in- crease of taxes for the sup port of the public schools The general tax levied for th a pu pose is a b( a la rge ns our people will stand. The best way now to secure more money for the schools is by local taxation, and that should not be forced upon a people not wanting it.

Lo- cal taxation will dj for some communities, but not for others. There must be a great revival of interest in the schools before local taxation can become general. A large per cent, of thechildren in the conntrv do not attend the schools already provided for. We can wisely exert our energies in inducing parents to send their children school the four months we are now taxed to support. Patron find Gleaner.
