with Bro. J. u. Hodge on Satur-
day the 9TH inst, we attended
the Tobacco Meeting, and | was
delighted to find the Union in
such fine shape. There are one
thousand and hftv-two acres in
this pool for this season and
many more pooling sheets out
and others anxious to pool their
tobacco.
The pool has run only three
years. selling three crops of to-
bacco. They have bought and
paid for their warehouse and
have Just declared a cash dlyl-
dend of 81 per cent on stock.
This is quite a good showing and
should encourage the farmers to
pool their tobacco and stand by
each other in a business way. II
they will only do this, and select

INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS
Supt Mann Of Greensboro, y. G. Is Be
ing I%mpeached for Hammer lie
Conducts His School

DR.. J. L. Mann, formerly Of Able
vile, son of Rev. Coke d. Marr, and
recently superintendent Of the city
schools Of Florence for years and
with great success, is undergoing i'm
parchment proceedings at Green's
boro, n. c., where he is superinten-
ent Of the city schools. The Char
lotte Observer has the following:
Greensboro. Aug. South Carolina
politics found its way into the Mann
impeachment proceedings this after
noon when counsel for the petitioners
for removal sought to discredit or
"disconcert witnesses from Florence
by forcing the declaration that they
supported Blease for governor. The
incident came at the beginning of the
cross-eYamination OF DR.. F. P. Cow
ington, a former member of the Flor
ence school board and a prominent cit
izen of that place. DR.. Covington
came here with F. A. B%arringer, a
banker and merchant Of Florence, to
testify to the high standing Of DR..
Mann in Florence and South Carolina
as a teacher, scholar, honest and
upright Christian gentleman.
RAISES NltncSS Ire
When he was turned over to the
counsel of the prosecution. Attorney
David Stern said: Doctor, we would
like to know whether you are q
Bleasite or Jonesite."
I'll answer in the same spirit
shot back the doctor, his eyes flash
ing and his arm going up in an en-
phatic gesture. IF you knew me l
would consider an assertion or in
situation that I was a Bleasite an
insult. No mai dares make such an
accusation on South Carolina SOIL"
At other stages laughs were brought
out by the doctors reference to the
governor Of South Carolina. Mr.. Bar
ringer, too, declared that he was a
Jonesite. He said he was q merchant
in Florence and that his competitor
was for Blease. The result is that
the competitor gets his trade from
people who support Blease while he
gets the Jones supporters. Both, he
said, had made and lost good Gus
toners by reason Of the South Caro-
lima political situation.
The two South Carolina witnesses
inserted their evidence in the records
with the direct examination of DR..
Mann being called that they might
leave the city on an afternoon train.
After they had testified DR.. Mann
came back to the stand and when adj
journment was taken at 5 his coun-
sci stated that they had concluded
the direct examination. His cross
examination will begin at $50 tomor-
row morning.
DR.. Mann Resumes
When DR.. Mann this morning re-
sumcd his testimony in answer to
charges respecting fitness to be sup
e%rintendent he was greeted by another

The marriage OF Miss Careen Hall
and Mr.. R. T. Wilson was a beautiful
event solemnized Sunday afternoon,
July 28th at $50 o'clock in the brides
beautiful home.
The house had been artistically dec
GRATED in white and green, by loving
and appreciated friends and kinsfolks

Promptly at the appointed time, first
came the pastor, Rev. P. X. Rhodes,
leading the way, then Miss Rosa Baker
and Mr.. Bruce Hall and following
them came the bride and groom, who
were under a bower Of flowers pro-
nounced man and wife after a short
and solemn ceremony.
After the many congratulations
were offered the bridal party and

crowded court room. In the after
noon the crowd was the largest Of
the entire investigation, hundreds be-
ing unable to gain admission to the
court room. DR.. Mann's testimony to-
day was given more in the nature o.
speeches to the large audience thar
in the form of answers to interroga'
tories. Many times he would rise
from his chair and deliver an
eloquent or fervid address to the as
semblage. He declared it his opinion
that athletic stunts, which were fea-
tured in the schools when lie came
were prejudical to the interests OF
the schools, while healthful athletics
were of advantage.
He said when he came to Green's
boro he found a splendid high school
spirit, but discovered % that the
football and baseball teams were de
cidely the leading features OF that
spirit, while the intellectual standard
was low. He found the Greensboro
high school football team to be the
champions OF the state, while educa-
tionally it was rated low in COM
parison with state schools, 1t being
in Glass B whereas such places a
| Raleigh, Asheville, Durham, Oak
Ridge, Mars Hill, Salisbury Charlotte
and other schools were in the A
class.
He said he set about remedying this
condition by requiring that students
falling below 78 in average Of studies
should not be permitted to leave the
city on baseball or football teams.
This ruling caused friction and at
times open rebellion. In all of his
ecorts to increase the efficiency OF
the schools here he discovered that
Principal King, whom he failed to
recommend for reelection, and the
head Of the athletic association, was
in a way a~ntagonistic of his policy,
and if not openly i%nsubordinate was
entirely out Of harmony with his ef-
forts to raise the standard Of both
the teaching and student bodies Of
the schools.
Nothing to Do With Docking
He testified that he had nothing
to do with docking teachers as charg-
ed while he lay sick and drew full
pay. He did inaugurate a system
whereby competent supply teachers
were on hand and whereby the teach
ers absent forfeited half Of her salary
to 90 toward paying the 81 per day
paid the supply teacher. AS to his
own salary he ocered to resign when
he was taken to the hospital because
he felt that he would be sick some
time. The commissioner to whom he
indicated this desire declined to on
slider 1t and told him that he might
carry such 4 notice to the board, but
that it would not be considered there.
DR.. Mann on his direct examination
made a splendid witness. II he can
stand up under fire as he has in his
recital so far there is no question
but that he will have gained support.
There are startling rumors, however,
Of incidents the attorneys for the pc
%titioners expect to drag out during
the course of his cross-examination.
When it begins tomorrow morning
there is no question but that the doors
will have to be closed. Many peo-
pie sat throughout his recital today
primarily for the purpose of seeing
the accused man under fire.
