COMMON SCHOOL
FUND TO BE PAID
Little Rock, July 20.—An
erroneous impression prevails
in certain parts of the state as
to the disposition of the state
common school fund for the
year.
Many letters are being re
ceived making inquiries rela
tive to the suit filed several
weeks ago seeking to enjoin
the state treasurer from pay
ing out the funds to the credit
of the common schools of the
state under the annual appor
tionment law. This case was
decided by the supreme court
several days ago against the
contention of parties who in
instituted the suit. The su
preme court held that it was
not necessary for the legisla
ture to make specific appro
priations every two years in
order to distribute the fund
among the various counties
of the state, on the grounds
that the constitutional provis
ion was self-executing. This
means that the fund will be
paid out as usual some time
next month, when the state
superintendent of public in
struction makes certification of
the amount to the credit of
each of the 75 counties of the
state. The total amount to be
paid out this year is consider
ably in excess of SI,000.000.

saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without
