the rotation system which has long ex-

June 6th, when three delegates would be
voted for IN each. Captain Dews offer
ed an amendment that instead of dele

the contest between them promises to be

expect to escape the excitement of the
contest.

CITY TEACHERS ELECTED.
Faculty for Another Year Chosen Monday
Afternoon.


The annual election of sUperintend-
ent and teachers was held by the city
public school commissioners Monday
afternoon. Superintendent Wright
was reelected by acclamation at his
present salary, after which he put in
nomination the following as teachers
in the white schools for the ensuing
year: Jason Scarboro, @. A.
Bell, Misses Lee 0unklin, Nan
Rarksdale, Kate Boggs, Mamie
Deubler, Kate Logan anu Gpssie
Barnes. These were all unanimously
elected at salaries that have heretofore
been paid.
The only change made in the
faculty was the election OF Mis-
Gussie Barnes OF Lake City, Fla,
as tea cher Of the third grade. Miss
Lou Barksdale, who Now presides
over that grade, was not an appli
cant for reelection. Miss Barnes
was highly recommended as a teacher
OF ability and experience, and the
board feels that it has been fortunate
in securing her, Miss Barksdale's
work in the school has been highly
satisfactory to both the board and
patrons, and it is regretted that she
will not remain here.
Estelle M. Jackson was reelected
principal of the colored scho and
Leila B. Havnie OF Nashville, Tenn,
assistant. One teacher has taught
this school the present year, but a
large increase in the number OF
pupils has made it necessary that an

very best elocutionists that have ever
visited our town. The League will

tertainment.
Rev. Thos. Mcguire will occupy
