Roane, ii May 17s--Ats q meeting Of the,

sensation was sprung in the form Of a
protest entered by DIR. William L. Pol
lock against the unemployment OF
George |. Miller as superintendent OF

ing the board instructed the president
and secretary to enter into q contract;
With Mr. Miller for another year. and
the contract was submitted Monday
night and approved by the board, call
ing for salary Of $1,000.
Before its approval DIR. Pollock sub
mitted his reasons in writing. He obs
jected to the Unemployment OF Mr.. Mil
Ter chiefly because at the annual school
election held In Boone not long since an
ants Miller ticket was elected by two to-
one, and the board is bound by the ac-
ton of the voters OF the district. He in
sisted that ut this election every man
lcasting his vote for Jordan and Barrett
understood .!:a. he was voting for
George |. Miller for superintendent, and,
that every man casting his vote for the
other ticket understood that he was
voting against Mr.. Miller. and that the
tickets opposed to Miller were plainly
printed Anti Miller
DIR. Pollock referred to section 277S of
the code, which provides that school.
boards shall carry into effect any in
structions from the annual meeting up
on matters within the control OF the
voters, and insisted that this law is
mandatory and any contracts entered
in to contrary to IL are void. He insisted
that u better superintendent could be
had for less money and a saving of sew
eral hundred dollars per annum thus be
made for the Taxpayers.
After citing these objections, he pro-.
tested against Mr.. Miller assuming or
attempting to assume the duties of SUI
perintendent ,if the board did approve
his contract, and ASSERTED that If he did
assume them it would be without any
legal right or authority and he, DIR. Pol
lock. would object to the payment of
any order from the president and secre-
tary for salary to be drawn under such
contract. Mr.. Miller vii be remembered

law which makes profitable business

from the per cent basis the margins
will be too narrow to continue without
