New Orleans, Sept. 22.-No new cases

To the same reason is attributed the
fact that two deaths occurred today.

The Ardmore school board, con-
sisting of Messrs. C. d. Carter, G..
III. Bruce, HI. c. Potterf, W. S.
Wolvertou, j. w. Banks ard DIR.
S. S. Carr, held its first meeting
yesterday afternoon. The first five
met at Potterf & Bowman's law
Office, but upon being advised of
the indisposition of DR.. Carr, the
gentlemen at once proceeded to his
house and held the meeting.
Mayor Gait was present and ad
ministered the oath of Office to the
members Of the board.
Organization was effected by
electing H. c. Potterf president
and c. D. Carter secretary.
1t was decided that the matter of
allotting the various terms should
be done by casting lots. This re-
suited in Messrs. Carter and Bruce
drawing the three-year term, Mes
sers. Banks land Potterf the two
year term and Messrs. Carr and
Wolverton the one-year term.
The only further business trans
acted was the appointment of a
committee to confer with the city
council when the appraisement of
the property shall have been com
pleted, to ascertain the approxim-
ate amount of the appropriation
for the public school fund. This
committee consists of Messrs. Carr,
Wolverton and Potterf.
Speaking of the boards future
action Il member said: The mem
bers of the board are conservative
men, and will avoid any hasty and
unwarranted moves. The purpose
is to confine the school expense to
the legitimate income for that OBJ
ject. The idea of borrowing money
for school purposes will not be en-
tertained by the school board; in
fact. it is repugnant to the mem
bers, ana wholly at variance with
their understanding of the require
ments of the situation. Our pur
pose in appointing the committee
to confer with the city council was
to ascertain the amount of money
we would have to operate on. anC
then confine our operations within
that limit. We believe that thi.
amount judiciously expended vii
make a good start in the way o
establishing our public school sys
TEN.
The first meeting of the boart
emphasized one very pleasing fact
that is, that the body will worl
harmoniOusly. The absence o
strife and friction insures the bes
possible results to the people, an
we may confidently look to thes
gentlemen to do the most for Ard
more schools.
