Vigorous assaults were made yes
ferday before the senate committee on
nominations, on the appointment OF

perintendent OF Alexandria county. A
large delegation Of prominent citizens
appeared before the committee re-
iterating the charges made last year

peared in the defense OF Mr.. Hodges.
The matter was threshed out last

against Mr.. Hodges was not strong
enough to convict and his appoint
ment was made.
Numerous charges were brought
against the superintendent, and just
what action will be taken by the COM
mittee has not been determined.
+ The fight was warm and bitter, lu-
nerous men addressing the commit
tee on the integrity OF Mr.. Hodges.
The superintendent himself was
present and handed q letter to the
chairman from the State board of
education in which 1t was stated the
charges were unfounded and the SUI
perintendent was highly praised Nor
