SALARY

Yesterday afternoon, when Miss
Emma Hiatt, teacher Of the Groom
Creek public school, presented her
claim for the salary Of the last
month, County school Superintendent
@. Persons refused TO endorse the
warrant for $40. Those present at
the time were Mrs. Carrie Eckert and
Nj and Mrs. b. F. Majors, trustees
Of the district, who supported the
teacher in her demands and endorsed
the warrant.
Mr.. Persons, in taking the action
he did, made the important statement
that he refused to issue the warrant
for the specific reason that the
teacher and trustees Of the district
above did not comply with the school
laws OF the territory, which were
flagrantly abused, in injecting poll
tics into the school, and contrary to
certain provisions Of the school laws
in force. He cited the following
which appears in Paragraph IL oil
Section 80, which reads: ITO er
clude fror, the schools and school ID

On this ground, that the law ha'
been abused by Miss Hiatt In hel

party in the Ninth District OF
Virginia may try to control the
Republican convention which
the district committee has call
ed to be held in Bristol August
IS, to nominate n candidate to
succeed Congressman G. Il.
Slemp, who will not accept the
nomination for reelection.
The third party in the Ninth.
while proclaiming that it will
run candidate for Congress-,
has taken no steps to call a
convention and il is rumored
that it will make an effort to
control the convention already
ordered. in which event Roose-
welt will be endorsed and the
party in the Ninth committed
to his support.
There ia another rumor that
the Roosevelt people may try
to control tho convention and
nominate n candidate without
endorsing either Taft or Roose-
welt. AT the present meeting
of the district committee held
here, il was noticed that no Of
fort was made to endorse Taft.
1t was different some months
ago when tho committee met,
as it then endorsed him and
