AMONG TEACHERS
Last Saturday Under the Law Providing

Last saturday under the Law PROVIDING
for Quarterly Payment--A Busy Day
tor Commissioners KaigIer.
The work of paying the teachers for
their services during the first quarter of
the year engaged the attention of County
School Commissioners Kaigler last Satur-
day.
The fact marks an interesting epoch in
the history of school affairs. 1t is the
first time that the teachers have been
paid so prOmptly--the first time that
these faithful servants of the people have
been given anything like the recognition
they deserve.
The day was busy one for the COM
missioner, and he did not reach breath
ing space until late in the afternoon.
1t was intended to pay the teachers
to date, but the funds at the
disposal of Commissioner Kaigler were
Sufficient to pay only seventy-five per
cent. of the amount due them. The
public term of the different schools of
the county did not begin at the same
tinse, and, therefore, some of the teachers
were entitled to and received pay for
Glore than one quarter.
During the day something more than
$500 was distributed among the hard
working and deserving pedagogues, and
they seemed to appreciate the fac that
they would not have to wait until next
winter to realize on their years work.
The city school board, which will get
the usual 1880 from the public fund
this year, was paid 500.

as Tom Reed had it in his code OF rules
they voted for it.
OF the Georgia delegation Messrs,

pose of enabling the house to do business

adopted at Chicago.
These four democrats were James e

minutes remained for debate. That was
controlled by General Catchings on the

the part of the republicans Reed, in
order to get up fight within the demo

BY running the test machine very fast

strength was indicated. This Corey called
Jockeying the tests. Plates had been SUBJ
jeeted TO retreatment after having been
accepted. The effect OF this, Corey said,
was uncertain: Ii might be beneficial or
the reverse. The general superintendent
knew OF the jockeying
reported to the company. Cline dis
charged because Captain Sampson. of the
Ordnance Bureau, demanded IL.
Was not IL pretty rough" asked Rep
resentative Talbot. that Cline was dis
charged and you .etained?"

Corey said he did not know personally
that false specimens had been secretly
substituted for the real specimens. He had
heard OF it in the works in such way as
to believe IL. but did not investigate IL.
He had understood that the real specimens
were spoiled, that some other specimen
from another plate was substituted as
presenting the plate from which the spoiled
specimen was taken. As II did not occur
often he did not look into H. Corey denied
the evidence OF workmen that he had told
them TO get the government stamp held by
the naval officers. All attempts to find out
whether higher officers OF the company had
known OF frauds were unavailng.
When Chairman Cummings asked do

plugged only by seeing the holes one day
and noticing the next day they were oblt-
Grated. Corey will continue his testimony
