The Board of Education met to-
day in special session, all the mem
bers present. II
This special meeting was called to /:
take final action on the question of
consolidation in the White Hall and
| Zion districts, to receive reports
| from the towns of the county for
fines collected and to finish grading
the county schools, and to fix salar-
les to be paid to teachers for the
looming school term. Petitions for
and against consolidation we're placed
before the Board, the Board having
ordered at its last meeting that said
petitions be circulated in the COM
munity and returned to-day.
A petition against consolidation
was presented by Mr.. J. w. Byrd
with y names on it. This petition
had beed circulated over all three of
the districts interested. A petition
for consolidation with 81 signers was
presented by MI. Ct. G.. Holland.
This petition had been circulated in
only one third of the territory. There
were representatives from other
parts of the district present in per-
, son, who were il favor Of consolida-
ton. After hearing the matter dis
cussed by all the parties interested,
; Mr.. w. F. English made a motion
to consolidate districts No. 1, 9 and
Q 8, Indian Springs township into two
districts, and that the house in No.
: 2, white, be turned over to the ne
groes when the new houses in the
consolidated districts are completed.
MI. Barnes Aycock cast his vote in
favor of Mr. Byrd's petition, because
Mr.. Byrd's petition had more sigma
lures than Mr.. Hollands. Mr.. Eng
Ilish's motion prevailed. The house
in the White Hall district was To-
Gated at Coker's cross roads, and a
site near MI. L. E. Heads was Sc
i. lected for the house in the Zion dis

to be erected and applications for a
loan from the State Literary Fund
