SUPERVISOR nAT,CS REINSTATED
State Board Reverses Action of County
Board of Education.

A. NJ. Mates, Supervisor of Educa-
ton for Vance county, who was re-
Gently removed from Office by the
County Board of Education. has been
"vindicated." The State Board to
which he appealed overrules action
of the County Board, and one of the
mem ers of the '.higher court" gives
as their reason therefor 1.-The fact that
two mem bers of the County Board of
Education submitted letters prac-
tically withdrawing the Judgment
they rendered when they heard the
case"
The people of Vance county want
to know if the State Board of Educa-
ton decided this matter upon the
ecidence in the case. as taken in the
court house in Henderson before the
County Board of Education, or the
letters of Bryant Holden and the negro

the judgment they rendered, when
they heard the case?' Let the State
Board answer that, and then say
what other testimony was admitted by
them and considered in Raleigh after
the case had been heard in Henderson.
the judgment of the County Board
rendered and the report made up.
How many members of the State
Board of Education outside of Super
intendent Mebane read IN full the
papers sent up from the County
Board?
Mates may be whitewashed but he
is not vindicated, nor do those of our
citizens who have at heart the inter-
est of the public schools of Vance
county feel that the Board has done
it's full duty in the premises. Su-
perintendent Mebane, who stood
alone in sustaining the finding of the
County Board was correct, as reported
in the Raleigh Post, in saying he was
satisfied the best interests of the pub
lie schools of Vance could not be
served by Mates.
However, the matter is not ended
yet. When the County Board let
Mates down so easily, finding him
guilty of only one of the II charges,
and that very trivial one Just
enough to get rid of him and at the
same time not reflect too seriously
upon his character or qualifications
the prosecution took an appeal also.
That appeal will now be heard by
the State Board. Mr.. T. M. Pittman,
attorney for the prosecutor Samuel
Brame, having been notified to that
effect in reply to letter signifying
his desire on the subject.
