GRAVE CHARGES PREFERRED.
The Members of Vance County Board
of Education Asked to Explain.

of Education Asked to Explain.
The members of the county board of
education of Vance county have some
very grave charges preferred against
them. Superintendent of Public In
struction Mebane says these serious
charges are embodied in the evidence
submitted in the Mates case, which was
heard recently by the State Board of
Education. These gentlemen will be
given chance to exhonorate themselves,
if they can. of these charges.
The board is composed of the follow
ing members: w. Ell. Jenkins, B. NJ
Holden and VIM. H. Henderson. Yester-
day Superintendent Mebane sent each
of them copy of the following letter:
In the record sent to this office in the
case of A. NJ. Mates, it appears that
your county board of education removed
members of the school committee of
Henderson township without notice OF
the charge against them or opportunity
of being heard, and without the thorough
investigation required by section 20,
chapter LOG, Laws of 1897, and to give
color and support to your action adopted
and entered upon your minutes a false
record OF your proceedings IN respect
to such removal.
1T also appears that you violated the
jurisdiction of the school committee BY
electing a teacher and establishing d
school in Henderson district, such being
the province of the school committee ex-
clusively. There is also on file here
writings signed by the members of your
board asking the State Board of Edu-
cation to discredit the judgment rem
dered by you in the Matics case, a
course calculated to bring the board
and the school management of Vance
county into disrepute.
If these things are true shall deem
it my duty under section "a, chapter 1OS
Laws of 1897, to report them for inves-
tigation. Before proceedings however
to such extremities / shall be glad
to hear any explanation you may wish

On reaching home the Shadchan exchanged some
observations with his wife the vicissitudes at {
tending the pursuit of his profession and, having
nothing else to do washed and dressed in manner
worthy of the Sabbath. In the evening, after the
conclusion of the service in the synagogue, he ap
preached Mr.. Grmbleman, for such Annles

shoulders said, . know" unmeaningly and agreed
to inspect the following afternoon the Sechorah

The Shadchan started out with his victim the
next day, little before the appointed time, and
his arrival was shown, with smrks and greetings,
into the parlor. After a-round unconventional
introduction, the young man placed in chair
facing Annie, the .Shadchan sat between them, and
the parents confronted side by side the matchmaker
Of the meeting On table in the centre of them all,
stood bottles of wine and whiskey, with glasses of
various sizes, and cakes and fruit abounded. Such
topics as the young mans native town in Russia re-
cent betrothals and marriages. and the present
diton of the Grimbleman family, seemed by an APP
parently unforeseen to lead to questions about
the young mans business and, once conversation
had taken this turn, it continued in the direction
for the rest of the interview. Ultimately the dual
commission expressed itself favorably, though not
finally; and, after the maiden and the man had SIM
pered lovingly at each other the congress closed.
By dnt of practsed diplomacy the Shadchan COM
peted the match though not before lapse of several
weeks, during which the knowledge of Mr. Grimble-
that the Bachur's wealth had been exaggerated
made him turn his attention for time to the impor-
tunities of rival Shadchan, and secured abate-
ment of the dover demanded However, the engage
ment party took place in due and great JOY,
and the news spread far and wide.
Next, the Shadchan had many and stormy debates
with Mr. Grimbeman and his future sonn-law
the subject of his fee. Their opinions differed i'm
mensey and both sides had the courage and the elo
quence to express their convictions. At last,
promise agreed upon; and the Shadchan, after
pocketng the money, took pinch of snuff, stroked
his beard wiped his lips, adjusted his hat, and set
out on campaign-JeWish World

during the battle on the following day.
General Wheeler says all these state
ments are absolutely false. Thereupon
he shows he was assigned ito his COM
mand on June "a and tells what he did
day by day in the exercise of that com
mand. He says on the 2Sth. 29th and
30th he suffered from fever resulting
from exposure. but nevertheless con-
tinued his duties and was not put upon
the sick report He admits he was g-
norant of the conference held by Shat
ter and his generals on the Both, but
Shafter has explained this by saying
he understood Wheeler was sick and
his physician had advised against let
ting him know of the proposed battle the
next day Notwithstanding this,
Wheeler says he learned that active
preparations We're being made for ope-
rations and at daylight on the next day
he rode to the front and exercised COM
mand
He says the publicity of the errors he
seeks TO correct has brought to him
many offers from army officers familiar
with the facts TO write him on the sub
ieCt in refutaton, and he adds in the
shape of an appendix to his own report
a number of letters from such officers.
He quotes General Lawton in a letter
to himself as pronouncing his (Wheel-
er's) history of the campaign "a very
just and accurate description of what
occurred" and he quotes Governor
Roosevelt as follows:
Il have read Bonsal's book and it
makes me extremely indignant. He
seems to have selected you as an espe-
cial object of attack. OF the Guasimas
fight he knows absolutely nothing"
