SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBERS NAMED
BY COUNCILMEN
At Meeting LAST night
Council Made Sweep Of Old
Members

The city council of Americas in
meeting last night elected four mem
bers of the board of education to fill
the places of an equal number of board
members whose terms will shortly ex-
pire. Only one vote was taken, and
the result was practically unanimous,
those chosen being Messrs. w. W.
Dykes, E. B. Everett, C. P. Davis and
G. Lester Williams, for full terms of
six years each.
Mr.. Everett was, in fact, reelected
for another term, although for a time
it was expected that he, too, would oe
eliminated from the board, along with
the others thus retired, Messrs. John
A. Cobb, ]. E. Hightower and ]. E. D.
Shipp.
Mr. Shipp received one vote, while
the balance of the ticket went through
solidly, as was expected. The voting
was done by ballot, the ticket, If
course, having been previously agreed
Upon by narrow plurality of the coun-
Gil, and the result, of course, was as tx
pected.
The newly elected members will as
sumo their duties in May, at the time
of annual meeting when the superin-
tendnt of schools and the faculty will
be elected for next year. 1t is general
ly reported that DR.. Lansing Burrows
will be made president of the board OF
education in place of Captain Cobb,
while Mr.. C. C. Youmans is slated as
superintendent.
1t is said that several changes among
the teachers is also contemplated, but
tc what extent is not known Mr.. You
mans, whom it is reported will sup
plant Supt. j. E. Mathis, is principal
OF the High school.
The Times Recorder has nothing to
say against the personel of the new
members, but would be derelict in its
duty if it failed Immediately to con-
denim the petty politics that has nov
been carried into our public schools
with its hurtful and disrupting infiu-
ence.
How long will the good people Of
Americas be patient while the inter
est of their children and the good of
the community suffer?

GIANTS GET HABIT
Of TEA DRINKING

New Yrk, March 11.-George Wiltse
is authority for the statement that a
startling innovation may be introduced
at the Polo Grounds his year.
"In almost al the contries where
we played on the 'round-the-world tour
tea was served during the middle Of
the game" explained the left-handed
pitcher Of the Giants. I'VE all took
very kindly to the custom, and, in fact,
don't think we can get along without
it. If McGraw is willing we may have
an intermission after the sixth in
ming"
Harry Stevens has already put IN
a bid for the privilege of supplying the
tea, but it will take the tourists sew
eral months to use up the supplies
which were given to them by Sir
Thomas Upton in Ceylon.

Jones this fall, has been trying to get
a bin through whereby the unsurveyed
land in this state, which amounts to
100000 acres, will be surveyed and
placed on the tax rolls so that the big
timber interests and railways that own
this land will have to pay taxes and
help lower the burden on the man who
is now trying to upbuild the state.

to do something to help you or the re-
