Question of Remuneration for
Members of the Examining Com

On of the most interesting matters
considered at last nights meeting OF
the Board of Education. was the re-
Enumeration of the committee which
examined principals and teachers prior
to the midsummer vacation. Hereto
fore, it has been the custom to pay
members of the committee $40 per an
mum, but there was disposition on
the part of several members to in
crease the sum, on account Of the great
amount of work done by the present
committee.
The examining committee presented
a report upon the examinations held
last spring. About 100 teachers took
the examination, and several failing
to receive Nos. l and certificates,
supplemental examination was held,
to give those who failed originally,
another chance. The report was re-
ceived and filed.
Mr. Ford took the floor and advo-
Gated the reimbursement of the exam
lining committee for its work in behalf
of the board. He thought there was
no law on the subject, but that the
precedent has been to pay $40 per year.
He thought the pay was too small,
and he thought twice that amount was
too small.
Prof Anderson quoted the law as
''such compensation as the board may
allow" DR.. Hildreth said the compen-
sation was merely an honorarium, and
he added that millionaires were fire.

tors.
Mr.. Ford moved to fix the compen-
sation at $50 for each member of the
Board.
Col Miller, who was member OF
the committee. stated that he had gone
into the matter with the understanding
that the compensation was $40. He
did not like the idea of figuring as
salary grabber The work might have
been harder than had been anticipated,
but for himself, he would not accept
more than $40.
Mr. Waterhouse moved to amend to
make the compensation $40. Mr. Ford
still insisted that the remuneration
was not commensurate with the work
done by the board. He had talked
with members of the committee, and
had some knowledge Of the amount
and character of the work.
The amendment of Mr.. WaterhOuse
was adopted
Attention of the board was called
to the fact that members of the form
er examining board have applied for
compensation for their services. Clerk
Hall stated that one member of the
committee had made application to
him, and he directed him to send in
his bill. The committee was paid last
year. This announcement brought out
an inquiry as to what work had
been done, and Col Miller explained
that there was always some work for
the examining committee, as there in
every year individual applications for
examination.
The matter was finally referred to
the committee on salary.

APPORIIONMENT Or TAXES
FROM RAILROADS IN OHIO COUNTY
UNDER CONSIDERATION
YESTERDAY.
THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Finance Committee Makes the Usual
Recommendation The Dfstrfbu-
ton In County Districts Made in
Accordance With the Approximate
Mileage of Road.

The finance committee of the Board
of County Commissioners met yester-
day afternoon, for the purpose of
considering the matter of the appor-
tionment of railroad taxes in Ohio
county. The valuation of railroad
properties, for taxable purposes, is
fixed annually by the State Board of
Public Works. The apportionment is
made by the Board to facilitate the
levying of local taxes upon the roads.
After the valuation is fixed, railroads
are required to pay the State levy for
general purposes, and the levy for
school purposes. They are then re-
quired to pay county and city taxes.
In the country districts, they are re-
quired to pay levy for district
school purposes.
The valuation of railroad property
in Ohio county, as fixed by the State
Board of Public Works, is as fol-

|S0LD|ER'S5V0RD|
g9A9a9S@s4ss@AA@a@@


The sword, which had often caught
my eye as l walked past Amminadab's
store, was plainly a costly thing, made
solely for distinction to the wearer, a
straight, narrow, double edged rapier-
like weapon, which might thrust well,
though its ivory hilt and carven guard
could not endure the clash of heavy COM
bat | took it for a sword Of honor at
first glance and fancied many explana-
tons of it's presence in pawnbroker's
window-one of the most pathetic fea-
lures of great city-the showplace Of
so many mementos Of despair!
Why was the sword there? 1t meant
honor impawned and unredeemed. The
temptation to buy it was on me, who
had no need for a sword nor even a
thought of using it for decoration, for
how shall a man joy in a sword not his
own nor inherited from some sword bear
ing ancestor?
Ny temptation was akin to the desire
one feels to carry away into privacy some
old, erect, haggard, soldierly man, pite-
Gus between sandwich boards on a
crowded street.
I had no money to spare for the lux
ury of giving decent privacy to the old
sword, yet curiosity concerning 1t SO
grew in me that l started from Newton
on my way to Boston one morning ten
minutes earlier than usual solely that /
might have time to look more particular
ly at the weapon.
Then as stopped / saw that the blade
| bore a faint inscription, so / put on my
spectacles. But the letters, which oc-
cupied a space between the hilt and the
beginning of the edge trenches, were
turned with their backs to me. The in
scription must be interesting; my curl
osity BEGAN imperative; I opened the
pawnshop door and confronted Am
minadab, the owner of the sword.
| Amminadab merely raised his eyes
from a tray of rings at which he had
been peering, looked. expectant and re-
marked, "VellY'
you have sword in your window"
| said I. Il should like to look at it"

POSSIBLY. What's the price?"
"Brice? Veil, don't make no cbrice for

"How can l tell without seeing the
sword?' His reluctant manner annoyed
me. D.

said. y

MARCHING WITH SHERMAN.
incidents of the Famous CampaiG
Through Georgia.

Incidents of the Famous Campaign
Through Georgia.
After burning all buildings that might
again be useful to the enemy Sherman's
army of 10000 men left Atlanta before
daylight, Nov. Is, 1864.
Much of the country passed through
was fine farming land. Now and then
a swampy place gave slight opposition to
our progress, but our march to within
two or three miles of Savannah was prac-
tically unopposed.
A few stragglers were captured by the
rebel cavalry, some of whom were mul
dered. A few who were Freemasons
were well treated and soon paroled and
allowed to return to our lines.
AT Milledgeville, then the capital of the
state, we stopped SO hours, my quarters
being the comptroller's Office in the state
house. where % and so cent shinplasters
were piled to the ceiling.
During the march we drew half rations
of coffee and sugar and. when needed,
hard tack. These, with fresh pork, pOul-
try, mutton, beef, bacon, hams sweet po-
tatoes, etc, made our fare the best we
had had in over four years service.
The weather was generally fine and SO
mild we could battle all over in the nu-
merous rivers and creeks we crossed.
About the LIST of December l saw ca
mellias, roses, ETC.. in bloom as with us in
June.
When we came to railroad, we de-
stroyed it by piling the ties, dollhouse
fashion, and placing the rails on top.
Being hard pine, the ties burned readily,
and when the rails became red hot they
were twisted by means of clamps applied
to each end so as to be of no use till they
had paid visit to the rolling MILL
AS it is much easier marching at the
head of a column of troops each day a
change was made. by which those who
were in the advance one day were in the
rear the next, and while we sometimes
camped long before night the next days
march might not terminate till after mid
night.
During the siege of Savannah the
"grub" question became a very serious
one Those Of us who were on the left of
the line Jared best. and yet our entire bill
of fare was rice (then called swamp seed,
with not even salt on it, and if any one
wishes to know how palatable it was let
him try just one meal of it.
