their side Of the story goes. just went aleag
and made the change in president with-
out confering with the governor and DR..
Eager about it. That may be true but it is
agreed that It would be singular for them
to have ignored the governor. the ex-offieio
head of the board. and the member from
the state at large.
Held Many Conferences 2c
Tt is admitted that there were many con-
ferences here between DIR. Eager Judge
Alston, Capt. Sol Black and the governor
and yet they all deny that anything was
even said about electing new president or
of the charges against the retiring presi-
dent until the board met at Montevallo and
went into the election of president.
It is now developed that the mystery
about 1t was not unlike the turning down
of the commissioner court of Jefferson
county, they were just adjudged guilty By
the great power and put out without
hearing, or warning even of the grave
charges against them. One of the trustees
said today:
"oh, well, say what you please about the
action of the board, Reynolds cond not
have been elected anyhow, for there were
many grave charges against him."
Reynolds Demanded Toll
Upon inquiry, it was learned that Presi-
dent Reynolds had, in accordance with the
changes, been demanding toll of everybody
who was dealing with the school in any
way The boarding houses, it alleged, were
made to pay him 81 head for each board
er, the grocerymen had to pay him so much
per cent, and many things which were
wrong and not permissible under the rules
and regulations of the school, and yet there
was no trial. President Reynolds was
never informed of them and had no inti-
nation that he was to be retired until the
board had acted.
There is a mystery about it all and silence
seems to be the watchword of the present
administration in its management of school
matters as well as in state affairs.
There are various reasons for the action
of the board given, and one of the trustees
was mad with President Reynolds about
his daughter, who is a teacher there. The
others are said to have similar grievances
not all on account of their daughters, but
for other reasons.
Knew Nothing About 1t
Dr. Eager returned to the city this morn
ing and it is said that he earnestly main
tains that he knew nothing about the con-
templated action of the board of trustees
in putting him in instead of Reynolds, and
he has not yet determined to accept the
position, although there is little doubt that
he will.
The governor has not yet returned to
the city and is not expected until to-
morrow. ~ -
