The smallest special tax for schools allowed by the Local Taxation Act of IS'17 is ton cents on every
liun.lreil dollars valuation of property and thirty centa on every poll. Assuming that the above townships
01 Uultrord county should by vole levy this special tax. the following is apparent from table No. 1:
A simple calculation will show that seventy-two per cent, or nearly three fourths of the people in these
townships would pay less than fifty cents more property tax for schools than they now pay, and more than
hair of the remaining fourth would pay less than one dollar more property tax than they now pay
About seven eighths of the taxpayers of these townships then would have their taxes for schoola increas-ed
by the special tax less than $1 :I0.
Only about one.eighth would have their taxes increased more than $1.30.

Tins table shows for each township the number of polls, the aggregate value of real anil personal prop
erty, the entire amount of money now received by all the schools in each township from the regular ap-portionment
lo public schools, I be additional amount* that these schools would receive from a special tax of
ten pi ots on $100 valuation of property and thirty cents on poll, the additional amount that would lie re
eeived from tlie State treasury b\ itie apaeial act of 1897 for the encouragement of local taxation, and the
inlnl s iint available for tliece schools from all sources in case such special tax should be levied.
Ii will be seen thai for every dollar of additional tax that the township votes upon itself another dollar
will be given by the State.
Every dollar of tax levied under the Local Taxation Act in any of these townships means two dollars
for the public schoola. On account of iis large number of small townships, Guilford is in a position to »et
the most possible out of this appropriation of the Stute to stimulate local taxation. A tax of ten cents
mi the $i(ni and thirty cents on the poll voted by the township now would raise as much for its public
schools as a tax of d nble that amount, would raise after the offer of the State shall have expired or
shall have been withdrawn. Can the people of these townships afford not to take advantage of this unusual
opportunity?
A simple-calculation baaed upon the laat four eolumna of thiaUble will show that the public school
fund in these townships would be increased about sixty live per cent, by levying the lowest rate of taxation
under the ne» law. In somo of ih.se townships the public school fund would be nearly doubled,or increas-ed
nearly one hundred per cent.

while in a sense they may have been
guilty, in another they were inno-cent.

The following incident occurred
substantially in the experience of
one who was for a time a mission-ary
to the Field Infirmary of Jack-son's
old corps, A. N. Va After
the battle of Spottsy Ivania ( oiirl
II ime in May, 1804, the Kit-Id In-firmary
was pitched near to anoth-er
hospital. One day the mission
ary ahovo referred to went down to
this hospital, and going into a tent
his attention was directed to »
wounded soldier in one corner of
the tent. This soldier had written
on a scrap of paper, "I would give
anything in the world ihat I pos
scss if I could drink a quart ■•! wa
ter, but I cannot swallow." ll«-
ha*l been wounded in the jaws
The missionary friend had a small
cup of peculiar shape with a pro-jecting
spout. Ry attaching a tube
of gutta pereha to this spout the
water could be poured down the
throat of the wounded, thirsty man.
The poor fellow could express his
sense of pleasure and relief by
squeezing the hand of him who had
just ministered to him. The mis
sionary could not leave wiih him
his cup, but in place thereof con
strocted for him one of different
si'es of peeled hark. He does noi
remember that he ever saw lb.
poor fellow after that (lay. and so
knows not whether his simple de
vice prolonged bis life and aided
in his ultimate recovery.
