Craig of Lawrence Is
Careless
By ''HOP''

Montgomery, January 29-tSpecial l. ]
Declaring that NJ H. Craig. former super.
intendent of education of Lawrence coun-
~ by his negligent, careless and incom-
petent method of conducting the duties of
his office had overcontracted the ap-
portionment of school funds and used
money set apart for the scholastic term
of 1928 in paying teachers employed
during 1911-12. Charles L. Townes. ex.
aminer of public accounts, has reported
to the governor that Craig and the coun-
ty board of education are liable for the
return of s14oS.as
Examiner Townes presented an opinion
of the attorney general which said that
an appropriation for a specified schola site
term cannot be used in paying debts acl
cruing in a previous year. Mr.. Craig
In the scholastic year 1928 paid out OF
his apportionment for the schools of his
county for that year the said amount
of S403.3s, which was the amount due the
teachers and unpaid for the preceding
scholastic year, leaving due and unpaid
teachers for the scholastic year 1928
Sl1S.0S." said Examiner Townes
Names of teachers who are unpaid for
services during 1928 were attached to
the report, and the examiner said the
superintendent of education and county
board of education could be held liable
The former superintendent was bitterly
condemned for his methods. 1.-The few
records he had were imperfectly kept"
said Examiner Townes. HE had no sys-
tenn of bookkeeping whatever. A great
many of his contracts were misplaced
together with a large number of teachers
reports and 1t was practically impossible
to ascertain with any degree of certainty
whether all teachers that appeared upon
MS pay roll We're properly paid or not. "
Books of other officials of Lawrence
county were found in good condition and
slight errors We're corrected

ADVOCATES FOR NEW
COUNTY IN JACKSON

Jackson, Miss. January 2e-(Spe-
cial )-More than 100 citizens of that
part of Rankin county that seeks to
loin jackson in the formation of a
new county to be named Harris
marched through the streets this aft
ernoon from the depot to the capitol
carrying an immense banner on which
was inscribed in blood-red letters. I'VE
live in Rankin. We are for Harris coun-
ty. If we are free men. let us vote"
These marchers were from the south
ern end of Rankin. where it is said
there are 1000 others who want to get
into a new county with Jackson as the
capital, chiefly because of the fact that
Rankin will not build them any roads
over which they may get to Jacksonl
in safety.
Tonight a great crowd assembled at
rt representative hall, where the COM
mittee on local and private affairs was
scheduled to vote Ne such crowd has
been in that hall since Vardaman was
elected senator. There was not vacant
foot of space anywhere and hundreds
were turned away from the door una BILE
to get inside.
