Mr.. Z. c. Granger. County Superiu
tendent If Schools, las. metsphorici!.y
speaking, cue OF the heads OF the old
Board of School Directors of this dis
triot; having appointed j. I. DeBolt in
place OF W. w. Petit, w. F. Eddy in
place of Mrs. Ward. A. Hubert in place
of VIM. whitfield. and j. II. Hilton
clerk in place of G. A. Missimer. These
appointments are valid until the next
ana ual election, in November The uew
Board will qualify todey. Mrs. Gran
ger informs US that neither Mrs. Ward
nor Mr.. Petit had filed witk her their
certificates of election and oaths of
office, she having waited thirteen months
expecting they would do so. Las. Tues
day she received advice from the Prose
cuting Attorney, which. among other
things, stated that the two persons
named could not be directors until they
had complied with the law; consequently
the appointment of the new Board.
Doubts are expressed in regard to the
legality of the actions OF the old Board;
bat We learn that they propose to hold
the fort" until the matter is definitely
aad legally settled, and will carry out
the program already blocked out by
them. However, there is a possibility
Of she contemplated improvements in
this school district coming TO an abrupt
pause.-Bys.
