G. j. Bell made a motion that
the County Normal at East Lexing-

ington would appropriate $50, Cen
trail $50, Kerr's Creek $50, South

would pay for all scholars sent by
them at the rate of $50 per capita. j.
II. B.JOnes spoke for Walkers Greek
and w. ID. Deacon for Buffalo. The
latter said the trouble with them was
to get the pupils but endorsed the
work Mrs. Moffett was doing. Mr..
was unanimously adopted, that young
ladies in future should be required
to attend two years, and that GER
tificates should be given by Mrs.
Moffett stating their grade and
whether she considered the pupil
well equipped to teach. The Normal
has been in existence nine years, COM
mencing i'm 1893 at Buffalo Mills. 1t
has met all the requirements, the eX
pectations of its friends, and the pur
poses for which it was instituted.
That there may be uniformity in
the opening of the public schools,
Monday, October 9th, was fixed as the
day.
The vexed question whether schools
should close on Friday till Monday, as
at present in vogue in most of the
county schools, or teach Saturday
and open Tuesday, was discussed.
There was no law bearing on the sub
ject, and the county board referred
the matter TO the district boards to
do as they thought best for the inter
ests of the schools.
Frank II. Glasgow was reelected
vice-president and j. Scott Moore re-
elected clerk Of the board.
At the hourof noon the board upon
invitation dined with superintendent

GERMAN TARIFF
Gcvernment Defeated by Ac-
tion Of Conservatives and
LCentrists.

Berlin, Oct. 22.-The government
was defeated in the reichtag yesterday
in test votes on the tariff bill by the
Conservatives and Centrists, inserting
in the ministFy'sS' biil-' amendments
fixing the minimum wheat duties. at
$3.50 per metric hundred weight, in
place Of $1.37, and the rye duties at
$1.37' instead of $L25. The votes
were: Wheat, 1914, to 145; rye, 1877 to
1s2. The minority was composed of
National Liberals, Socialists and Radi-
Gals. Previous to the roll call Chan
cellor Won Buelosy again firmly an
nounced that it was impossible for
the government to accept the amend.
ments.
Three courses are now open to the
ministry: Dissolve the reichstag,
negotiate for a compromise. or let the
majority pass the bill in any form it
chooses and suppress 1t in the bum
desrath. In the latter event CONNER
cial treaties will be negotiated on the
basis of the present tariff. The
chancellor's plan appears to be to do
nothing Immediately and see II the
majority will yield.

SURPRISE IS WORKED ON
OPPONENTS Of MEASURE
Central School House to be
Built at New Bsitlmore
-Resuit Of Long
Fight. 7
lstnr Correspondent.l

Columbus Oct. 22.AThe New Balti-
more school bill was rushed through
the house of representatives by Rep
resentative Pollock and through the
senate by Senator Wilhelm and be-
came law just five minutes before the
legislature adjourned. John w. Tay-
lor thus wins a protracted fight. The
Newhouse faction was taken un-
awares, not expecting the matter To
come up at this late date.
This was bill prepared by John
w. Taylor and his faction in Marl-
boro township to centralize the school
at New Baltimore, while the s. 8.
Newhouse faction wanted to return
to the old district schools. The New
house faction controls the present
school board and has already built one
school house and commenced the erec-
ton Of second. This bill will cut
out certain portions of the school dis
trict as at present constituted and
with the territory will go 21 voters,
which will give the Taylor faction a
majority at the elections.
The fight has been very bitter one.
The change of front made by Senator
Wilhelm has been a great surprise to
the Newhouse crowd as he has always
been with them and defeated the
measure in the session last winter.
The enemies of the bill claim that
it is special legislation and say they
will fight it in the courts.
