TRUSTEES MEETING
WAS Big SUCCESS
LARGER ATTENDANCE AND GREAT
Err INTEREST THAN EVER
BEFORE
Many Improvements In Schools d.
rectly Traceable to the Annual
Trustees Meetings

The meeting of school trustees which
closed here yesterday was the largest
and most successful yet held, in the
opinion of Miss Catherine Dryden,
county superintendent, who had the
meeting in charge. Though the ex-
penses of but one trustee from each
district is provided for, from num-
Der of districts two came. Many took
notes on the lectures given ,and some
plan to report the lectures at local lit
erary socities.
Numerous results in the way of
school improvements can be traced di-
rectly to such meetings." said Miss
Dryden. Zone instance l recall being
the building of a kitchen for the serv-
ing of hot lunches in a district which
formerly had not a record for being
progressive. The kitchen resulted
from lecture given by Miss Hoover on
school lunches at a melting attended
by one of the trustees from that dis
trict."
Great progress is being shown in
the county schools. At more than half
of the rural schools, hot lunches are
now being served at noon, the pupils
and teachers cooperating in furnish
ing and preparing warm food to sup
plement the lunches brought by the
children.
A number of the lectures presented
at the meetings had to do with social
center work in the rural schools.
Among the speakers were President
Black of the Lewiston Normal, Profess
sor Soulen of the department of educa-
ton, Professor Lewis of the economics
Professor Robb of the ag-
ricultural department, and Miss
French, dean of women at the Universe

treasurer's and auditors offices, were
relieved of their work Tuesday eve
ing. The one man will continue dur

ures which Mr.. Gleason and his force
has secured in connection with the

week he found it impossible. A bal
ance was reached the latter part of
last week. The final report may not
be ready until March 8.
In speaking of his work Tuesday
Mr.. Gleason said, 81 am letting all of
the boys working under me out this
evening with the exception Of one
man who shall assemble the figures

WILL TAKE UP BONDS

Five thousand dollars worth of
bonds of Independent School District
No. will be taken up in the near fu-
ture, according to a statement made
today by Clerk w. F. Morgareidge of
the local school board. A consider
able saving to the district will result,
as the interest on the bonds is paid
at higher rate than it is possible
to get on sinking funds now being
accumulated to retire the bonds.
A short time ago, Mr.. Morgareidge
wrote the Boise City National Bank,
owner of the bonds, asking permission
to take up portion of them now. The
bank readily granted his request, and
as soon as the bonds can be obtained
from the Post Office department, with
which the bank placed the bonds as
security for postal savings funds OH
deposit in it, the transfer will be
made.

OLIVER IS SHOT
BY ASSASS|NS
FAMOUS king OF CLIMAX" is
killed I'M FRONT OF BANK
AT LEESEURG.
The following is an account of the
kiI1if{o ~ n nIiyor.

The following is an account of the
killing of A. D. Oliver:
LEESBURG, Ga, Feb. 17.-Three
shots, fired by unknown persons, kill
| ed A. d. Oliver, known as the king
of Climax" man famous for his
financial schemes throughout the en-
tire South in front of his bank here
tonight about $50 o'clock
At the time of the shooting the
street was dark Oliver had just
emerged from his institution, the
Farmers Bank & Loan company
when he was assassinated Three
men were seen running away from
the place just after the shooting, but
nobody seems to have gotten a close
view of them.
Posses, headed by officers, are scour-
ing the surrounding country tonight
for the assassins. and surrounding
towns have been notified to be on the
lookout for suspicious characters.
Oliver was about As years of age.
He was killed instantly No threats
upon his life are known to have been
made in Leesburg, but recently at
Smithville, where Oliver also had a
bank established, several of his for
mer creditors are said to have made
threats to shoot him to death should
he come back there again.
That there is any connection be-
tween those threats an tonights
shooting is doubted here What mo-
tive caused the shooting, however, is
a mystery, although Oliver had been
in scores of deals, and came in con-
tact with practically every person in
this section.
Oliver was released from a peni-
Tertiary in Mississippi about six
months ago where he had served four
years on a charge of bigamy. He
satisfied the court that his name was
not Harding, the one under which
he had been arrested. '35. ttfrl
In the pockets of Oliver were checks
tfor more than half million dollars.
One of these was for $685. 900 on the
Pennsylvania Railroad company and
another for $35O,O0O on the Columbia
County bank of Benton, Pa.
He wore two fine diamonds, one in
his ring and another in his cravat,
the latter being shot out.
He was shot three times with a shot
gun, with buckshot. One charge enter
tered his mouth, the first severing the
Juglar vein. He was not armed at the
time.
Two Leesburg citizens saw three
men run from the scene Track dogs
carried the sheriff to the point where
they took an automobile. Persons saw
the automobile leave toward Smith
vile, where divers life had been
threatened recently.
