HE SCHOOL DIREcToRs.--Judge Buchanan's
opinion is In direct conflict with the arguments of
the Delta The Judge recognizes the power OF
the Council to repeal the ordinance under which
the present Directors hold Office and thus evct
them. But as the ordinance, resolution,
6.es the day of election to be on the first Monday
of December and as that had passed before the law
was in force, it is now impossible for them to elect
until the first Monday of next December, unless they
make new ordinance. But the principle which
has been discussed by the Delta and ourselves is
recognized and enforced, viz: "that tie poorer of
appointment necessarily inuotves tho poorer of re-

NASHVILLE AND CHATTANOOGA RAILROAD
V. K. Stevenson, Esq, President of the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad Company in letter to
the Hon J. Schnierle, of Charleston, dated Nash
Wlle December 10, gives the following interesting
information in regard to that great improvement:
81 have the acknowledgement of Messrs Corco-
ran u Riggs OF the receipt of the SltS000 RENTED
by your Honor, TO make the last payment on iron,s
Tor which you will please accept our hearty thanks
Dr. Townsend, of our contractors, Of the Chat
tanooga division, was here last night, preparing to
buy twenty thousand bushels Of corn to feed their
stock. They have increased the teams and are
working at least one hundred hands more than
Burke had on that part Of the road. There is now,
suppose about 800 hands that division, between
the Tennessee road and Chattanooga, and their
force is increasing every day. We have bids for
the three sections, l22, 1913, l24, that tLinl we
will accept, and then there is but ll3 left on the
whole read the four sections next the Tennessee
road, ON the South side having been let since you
We're here. OGr locomotive is here with u fine
passenger car and thirteen freight cars, and we are
getting them out to the track which is troublesome
business. We are going ahead with the track and
IRON laying, and have made, as think, ample
arrangements for heavy business next year in
track and iron laying. Tie city Of Louisville,
Kentucky, IS about to subscribe million of dollars
towards building railroad to Nashville, so that
Charleston will have reached in this way, the
Ohio for the small outlay of half d million beyond
her own State borders, for which she was once
wiling to spend millions. They have taken
$4,000 towards making our independent road from
Winchester to Huntsville, Alabama. All things
are tending to this point in good earnest, that the
produce Of this rich portion of the Mississippi
valley may reach Charleston, with the confident
belief that she will prepare for its direct shipment
to Europe."
