Accounts vary as to the amount Of
damage done by the aerial fighter.
One account says that twenty-six

conservative sources It Is reported
that only twelve bodies have been re-

 Elected Superintendent

Anniston, May 6.--fSpecial. )-The Anniston school board will hold meet ing on May 12 for the purpose of se- lecting a superintendent of the city schools and naming a new corps of teachers. It is considered probable that D. R. Murphey will be reelected superintendent.
 A rather stormy meeting of the Par Teacher association was held last Monday evening in which the associa- tion disclaimed any intention of having tried to consummate the defeat of Mir Murphey, although some of his meth ods have been severely criticized dur ing the year by members of the as- sociation.
 Whether or not President A. l.. Ty- Ter will hold his position as president of the board is not known. He was re- gently reelected by the city council but has not formally accepted. He was also subjected to some criticism by members of the Parent Teacher asso- citation, but was elected unanimously for a second term by the council.
