both as TO quality and extent they
may well rejoice our hearts.
We have three great institutions
within our limits which, considering
their location. their present financial

may fairly expect TO be enrolled
among the greaa universities of the

Lively Meeting of Rnnrd.

Possibly the most lively meeting
that the present Board of Public
Works has yet held was that of yes
terday when Mr. Hutchlson, one of the
members and the former chairman.
arose to a question of personal privi-
lege" and requested to be heard.
Among other things he accused the
mayor, who Is ex-officio member. and
Mr. Wood. another member, of con-
nivance in the matter of "whitewash-
ing" street Superint rndent John Burns
upon the occasion of his trial last
week. MIR. Hutchinson taking the DO
sition that the mayor and Mr.. Wood
had formulated "A Verdict even before
the testimony was in.
Mayor Welles nettled under the
singing accusations of Mr.. Hutchinson
for while. and when the accuser had
set down, the mayor asked to be heard
in his own behalf In forcibIe LAM
guage he informed Mr.. Hutchinson that
he was laboring under a very wrong
impression when he sought to make
out that himself and Mr.. Wood had
any talk of the Burns verdict at All.
They had conversed before the meet
ing, but being business partners IL
was nothing unusual and the matter
they had discussed was one of private
business purely. After speaking for
himself on that accusation, the MAYOR
then proceeded to Mr. Hutchinson
some things which greatly interested
the few spectators
Mr.. Hutchinson was cited to several
instances where the mayor alleged he
had not only usurped the powers of the
board, but had really usurped the
mayors powers in suspending from
duty the street superintendent. who
was the head of a department. SIS
nension of heads of departments are
alone delegated to the mayor by the
charter.
II is not known how far this sort
of thing would have proceeded had not
the mayor bethought himself OF i'm

he had to fill before leaving on the
noon train for Alabama points. This

Election of school trustees.

| Hon. d. NJ. Galloway. Supernten-
dent of Education of Dallas County.
has given notification that on July 2 an
election of three trustees in each school
district of the County will be held
The election is of especial interest in
this County because until this time
only one trustee has represented each
district.
The redistricting board has just COM
pleted its work of drawing new lines
for the educational divisions of the
County The board made no changes
of a radical nature.
The laws providing for the govern
ment of the public schools of the Coun-
ty have always demanded that each
district be represented by three trus-
tees. but the late Superintendent Cal
lahan adopted and made a precedent, a
plan of having only one and this Gus
tom prevailed until Superintendent Cal
laway found that the statutes required
that three trustees be elected from
each of the townships. In accordance
with this statute the election will be
held on July 2,
After the election, the trustees of
each district organize with chairman
and secretary, and thereafter control
the scholastic business of the township.
The election will not affect the city
OF Selma, the Pine Flat and the Burns
vile Districts, which are separate
school districts.

contest in the courts for the Office
of cclerk Of the criminal court is now
not improbable in this county. John
A. Kirkpatrick who received less
votes. according to count of inspectors
that John L. Pinney. who was behind
but a few votes. made a claim that
there was some inaccuracy and offer
ed proof to show that what he said
was very true. This was given official
notice by the committee and the result
was Pinney was given more votes than
Kirkpatrick. Then the last named
thought he had discovered some proof
of irregularity and offered proof in
substatiation thereof. The precint box
es In which this irregularity was al
legged to have existed had been opened
for some reason. and when the demand
for a recount was made the candidate
making such order was notified that
boxes had been opened for more than
4S hours and therefore a recount with
any degree of satisfaction at all was
out of the question.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick consulted lawyers
about this feature and 1t has about
been determined to take the matter in
to the courts and see what can be done
in the premises. 1t is really thought
that the entire count of some precincts
will be finally thrown away. in case
the Irregularities now openly alleged
will be proven.

he assumed the name of Edwards and
by that name alone he was known in
