TO THE COURTS.
Prof. James Hughes Not Satisfied
With Treatment Accorded Him.

Prof. James Hughes. formerly
county school superintendent and
one of the best known young men in
the county. is not satisfied with the
way the case against him has been
decided. Supt. Marvin Ragsdale. of
the county schools. dismissed him as
a county teacher on charges of in
temperance, and State Superintend-
ent Fuqua has ratified II.
Prof. Hughes now intends to take
the matter to the courts. This will
be done in the form of an injunction,
and he will allege that Trustee Sears,
the prosecutor in the case, is hold
ing two elective Offices, one that of
a school trustee and the other that
of constable; that the papers in the
case were held week by Supt. Rags
dale before being sent to the state
superintendent; and last, that Supt.
Ragsdale was directly interested in
the outcome Of the case, being a can
didate against Prof. Hughes for the
democratic nomination for county
clerk.
The suit will be filed in day or
two, 1t is understood, and Will be
to enjoin the school authorities from
preventing Prof. Hughes from teach
ing his school.

SOME CONTENTION
In SCHOOL BOARD
Controversy Over Paying the
Teachers for the Holidays.
Trustees Say II u Illegal and Some
Want n Called Meeting TO Set
tie the Question.
BOARD AFTER MORE FUNDS

A controversy has arisen among
members OF the board OF education
relative TO what the board meant
Tuesday night when II voted TO al
low the teachers a full months sala-
ry for December, although from De-
cember "a until January 2 over a
week. there will be no school. Some
OF the members desire to hold a call
ed meeting to settle II before the new
members take their seats in Janua-
ry.
II is the contention OF some OF the
trustees that the law does not allow
the board to pay any teacher for va
cations. and that the holidays prop
erly come under the head of ''vacap
lions" For this reason they claim
that II the teachers are paid a full
month for December. they will have
TO make Il up by teaching the add
tional days. later on.
Others claim that II is not the
fault and In some instances proba-
bly, not the desire. OF the teachers to
be idle during the holidays. and that
II the board dismisses the schools it
should pay them a full salary, be-
cause they need the money"
In fact. several things are claimed,
and the end OF the discussion is not
In sight. Secretary Frank May stated
this morning that he did not know
how 1t was to be settled and did not
know how the checks are to be
made out. Some claimed that the
board did not mean to pay for the
time not taught, and Secretary May
said II was possible the checks would
be made out for the time actually
taught, and let the board settle the
contention at the next regular meet
ing. The amount the board will pay
out for salaries the week of the holt
days Is over $500.
