WILMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL
DISTRICT is ABOLISHED

Due to the average attendance of
pupils having fallen below the number
required by law to maintain county
school, the supervisors yesterday dis
solved the Wilmington high school dis
trict. The falling off of the attendance
is attributed to the fact that Whining
ton is now in the city limits and that
the high school district-which is out
side the limits-cannot support a high
school. Notice of this condition was
received by the board yesterday from
Mark Keppel, county superintendent
of schools.
Clerk Mcpherson of the board stated
that it is the duty of the supervisors to
dissolve the district and sell the prop
erty; but plans for such a sale SO sug-
gested have not been made.

MAYOR DISMISSES JUDGES
CHARGE AGAINST OFFICER

Judge Frederick Houser appeared
last night in a case before the police
commission as complaining witness
against Patrolman ]. M. Baines. Judge
Houser had seen the officer club a
Mexican on the head and. he felt the
matter should be brought to the atten-
tion of the police commission.
According to the evidence the case
a. peared to be one of those rare ones
in which both were right. Baines adj
mitted ho did hit the Mexican a sharp
rap with his club, but established to
the satisfaction of the commission that
the Mexican had drawn a knife and
showed unmistakable signs of using it
if he got chance.
The charge against the officer was
dismissed by Mayor Alexander, who
cautioned him to get along with as
little vigorous use of his club as pos
sible.
