Question. Has the chairman o
vote at district meetings, except
there be q tie?
Answer. o. course he has he is
merely a voter in tho chair, not a
permanent president.
Q. liza vacancy in one OF the dis
trict offices is 10 be filled at the an
nual mce,ing and one officer elected
for full term, must the first be
named in the notices as well as the
| last ?
A. 1t would be entirely proper to
include both in the notices, but if
accidentally omitted, the election
would not therefore be illegal. An
annual meeting is legal. although the
clerk may forget to give auy notice
| of it.
| Q. If treasurer is to be elected
to fill vacancy, should the election
preoede that of any officer who is to
serve ful, term?
A This is not an important mat
ter in case of vacancy. 1t will be
proper, however, in all cases, to fol-
low the order: director, treasurer,
clerk" (Sections 10, Third and 80.
Q. When treasurer is elected to
fill vacancy, is he to serve three
years
A No, only for the unexpired
balance of the term.
Q. If the office of treasurer be-
comes vacant, and remains so, is the
district obliged to pay the teacher
for services rendered meanwhile
A. Of course is is. The teacher
may have to wait for a treasurer to
pay bis order, but the claim Is good,
if not otherwise invalid
Q. Is a person who acts as treas
urer without filing . bond liable TO
punishment
A. The law says nothing to that
effect, but he is not legal officer I'M
less he files bond within ten days
of election or appointments.
Q. At our annual meeting we
concluded to have it hereafter on the
last Monday in August, but the rec
ora OF the vote made and filed with
the town clerk was: "That the
meeting adjourn till the last Monday
~ August" Will an annual meeting
held then be legal?
A. This was not an explicit way
OF putting and recording the vote;
but as it could no doubt be shown
that the intent of the vote was to

suggest sa Plan by which you can get u
good fertilizer, very cheap. l have used

the cotton ssaa at 25 per bushcl.
And | feel satisfied that ton of the
-coapo<t is equally as good as the fer
tilizers sold in Charleston at from 55 to
$50 per ton. l intend to compost the
coming season ton acid phosphate,
ton cotton seed and / tn stable manure
together, which will give 3 tons Tor
about $50, or say $40 per ton. And
feel satisfied that each ton pr perly
compostcd will do as much good ai a
ton of lertilzers that will cost $50,
besides the outlay will not he ovec 81
for three tons cotton seed and stable

more money in the fall than those who

close keeping with other legislative en-.
actments by which thousands of dollars
are annually extorted from the people
