LONE OAK SCHOOL
CASE is DECIDED:
But Is APPEALED
Miss Greenville Harrison
Wins Suit TO Compel Sign.
ing Of Contract.
Salary Of Teacher is Tied Up.
Too.
MISS BROWNING IN CHARGE

To cast the deciding vote In
case Of tie in division board II is
not necessary for the county school
superintendent to be present at the
meeting. was the substance of a de
cision rendered this morning by Cir
cult Judge William Reed. when he
held that Miss Greenyile Harrison
was the teacher elected to the con-
solidated school at Lone Oak. Judge
Reed said II was a knotty problem
An appeal was taken on the case by
the attorneys for Miss Eleanor Brown
ing.
Thus the first round OF case,
which has been fought bitterly for
several months, ends with victory
for Superintendent Middleton, who
was sustained that he had the right
to remain In his Office and vote; but
the attorneys for Miss Browning are
confident that the appellate court
will reverse the lower court.
The case began in September when
there was vacancy In. the fourth
grade at the consolidated school On
September 2 a meeting of the Fourth
divisional board was held. Seven
trustees were present. and Miss
Browning received four votes and
Miss Harrison three votes. Friends
of Miss Harrison claimed that Miss
Browning was not elected because
she did not receive five votes, a ma
iority of the board.
To end this Chairman w. r. Davis
called another meeting OF the divis-
lonal board on September 1, when
the board tied, four voting for Miss
Harrison and four trustees for Miss
Browning. w. A. Middleton, who
had been appointed superintendent
bysJudge Lightfoot. was present at
the meeting. and when called upon
by the chairman to unite the board.
replied that he had not qualified. and
could not vote. That night the
board adjourned. although contract
was signed by two trustees, employ
ing Miss Browning as substitute
teacher until a regular teacher was
elected. She has been In charge of
the school since, but has not received
any salary.
September 10 Superintendent Mid
dleton in his Office cast his vote for
Miss Harrison and declared her the
teacher of the grade. Then the next
day. September Is. he filed his bond
as school superintendent. These
points we're battled hard by the at
torneys for Miss Browning. Trustee
w. r. Davis refused to sign con-
tract with either Miss Harrison or
Miss Browning. and a mandamus suit
was filed in October against Chair
man Davis to force him to sign the
contract with Miss Harrison.
Yesterday afternoon the argu-
ments were concluded and Judge
Reed announced that he would decide
1t today and suggested that there
was a court higher than. the circuit
court to which II could be taken.
Judge Reed said he placed liber
al construction on the statute and de-
cided that Miss Harrison was elected
the teacher.
The salary of the teacher Is $50 a
month. and since Miss Browning has
been teaching the accrued salary is
about $40. Should the appellate
court sustain Judge Reed the salary
would be allowed Miss Harrison, and
Miss Browning would receive moth
ing for her services as teacher for
three months.
