Not until late yesterday afternoon

Tho Graded School RieSt;ug.

a citizens meeting was called to be
held In tho opera house on last Tues
day morning to hear the report Of the
board Of trustees.
These meetings are usually very
poorly attended but on this occasion
the record was broken. Only Mr.. Alan
Johnstone and Mr.. Jno. NJ. Kinard
were present.
The formalities OF u citizens meeting
| were gone through with. Mr.. John
| stone was called to tho chair and Mr..
kinard acted as secretary.
The report was read and adopted and
the meeting adjourned.
This carried out The letter of the law
and so far as that is concerned Il citi-
Zens meeting was held.
There ought to be more interest taken
in these meetings, but the reason is
simple. Our people look upon the
| Graded Schools rs one Of tho established
institutions of the town, and rs the rc.
ports arc always published, thcy do not
see the necessity of going to citizens
! meetings.
There are two changes that ought to
be made in the Act establishing our
| schools.
This thing OF holding annual cleo
tiOns on voting the tax should be abol-
| ished and tho tax made permanent,
with the right Of course to petition for
an election to remove il, il there could
be found the requisite number OF voters
and property owners to sign such IL
petition, and then IN election could
be ordered. But it seems to us very
foolish to build and equip fine school,
such as we have, and then say we shall
vote every year to see whether or not
we shall run 1t or close it up and turn
the 300 children now in attendance out
OF school for one term. That looks very
foolish to MS for sensible men to be Ell.
gagged in.
Then tho calling OF these citizens
meetings should be dispensed with, and
let the board OF trustees print their nn-
nual refor: in the town papers, just as
the town trehsur"r prints his report.
IL any citizen does not understand the
report he can 20 to the hoard or any
officer and ask for information.
Tine report for this year is published
in another column.
We hope the Boards OF Visitors ap-
pointed this year will do better than
their predecessors. Last year the board
never visited the school at ALL We
tried several times to get them to go up
but never did we succeed.
All the same we have good school,
an efficient Superintendent and compe-
tent teachers, and we are proud of it
and do not want to see anything that
will in the least injurc or jeopardizc it..
Every town and every country dis
trict should have Il iirst-class school,
put beyond the pale Of politics.
We do not pay our teachers what we
should. Wegive them work for only
o orlo months in the year and they
should receive at least $40 q month.
We taught school once, md the teacher
who does his duty earns his hire, and it
should be in accord with the work, and
$40 month is little enough.

Again, believe manufacturers OF liquor,

quantity-from a drink up. This ought
to be stopped; and the way TO stop 1t is to
put the distiller on the same footing as a
saloon-keeper.

Our Correspondent Comes Back.

Gate City, Va. February Is, 1898.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your issue OF the Sth instant. Major
S. =. Mcconnell criticises quite unfairly
the news item sent by me in reference
to the assignment OF County-Treasurer
William r. Taylor. II l understand the
Majors letter, he would leave the i'm
preston that Mr.. Taylor made the as
signment more for the benefit OF his pri-
vate creditors than for his bondsmen.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Taylor's official books.
as admitted by the Major, are in the
hands OF an accountant, and the status
OF his Office Is being inquired into. Ana
surely the Major will not deny that Mr..
Taylor's bondsmen caused the assign
ment TO be made. and that at least a
part Of them expressed the fear that
they would have a large amount OF
money to pay. 1 did not see AIr. Monroe
Mcconnell, but reliable gentlemen in
formed me that he said that as a result
OF the Treasures failure he guessed
''he would have to die in the poorhouse.'
And It IS strange that the Major doubt
ed whether Mr.. Monroe Mcconnell had
ever heard OF the transaction" when an
account Of the assignment appeared In
the county paper on the I'd Of February,
and when Mr.. II. #. Mcconnell, son
OF Mr.. Monroe Mcconnell, and a partner
with him In the mercantile business IN
Gate City. is made one OF the trustees In
the deed OF assignment. II there Is a
man in the county who had not heard
OF the transaction" at the date or the
Majors letter. he certainly does not tax
with his neighbors.
No one knew at the time the news item
was sent how much Mr.. Taylor was De-
hind in his public accounts. and S2OVv
was believed by many (some OF them his
bondsmen) 70 be a conservative estimate.
Some "well-.nformed" people believed II
would be much more, And II the lred-
surer's affairs were not In bad tanSle'
why Is IL that an expert accountant mas
