sact itc business. Mr.. D. w. Shoff-
ner Of the High School Board was
the spokesman for the Mt Pleasant
people, and when he had finished his
talk there was a different idea Of
what was wanted by him and his
friends. The court adjourned for din
ner. taking two hours for that pur-
pose, and during the dinner hour
there was more discussion Of the
proposed raising of the tax rate for
the purpose of the maintenance Of a
high schoo, at Mt. Pleasant than
there was of the midday meal.
The final vote on the proposition
on the reconvening of the court in
the afternoon, was as follows:
