Editor ald:-We are now in the midst
of literary squabble such as has not been
witnessed in Colfax since Crocker christened
it with a flowing bumper Of IIeidsick six
years ago.
Under our school law it is provided that
each School District in the county shall elect
their allotted number of Trustees, at stated
times, by posting up at least three notices in
as many conspicuou. places in the District at
least five days prior TO said election. Acting
under and in accordance with those provisions
our Trustees called an election to elect two
members of the board, last Saturday even
ing. AS in most similar cases, little atten-
ton was paid to it and less interest was man
itested. The consequence was that few at
tended and the vote was very light, but the
meeting, Notwithstanding, elected w. A.
Hines and j. F. IIodgsden. These gentle
men filed this position before, and are looked
upon as our best citizens.
a short time subsequently a flaw was
discovered by some of our citizens, in the
way the election was conducted, and forth
with an Indignation meeting was called and
was generally attended, last night at Brick
ellis Hall. A series Of resolutions were
passed condemning the action of the Trustees
in unmeasured terms, probably they may
be published. If not, from what heard Of
them when read, they certainly do great
injustice to the gentlemen in question. If as
is alleged that the required notices were not
posted as the law specifies, it must have
been through neglect The Trustees say in
answer that one notice waa posted on the
schoolhouse, another was sent to Atwill's
Mill, and third was given to member of
the Board to be posted in town, but by some
means it lay neglected until too late.
There are good men on both sides and near
ly evenly balanced; the contest waves warm
