Explains That the Measure Com
tains Provisions to Which
He is Opposed.
MEANS THERE'LL BE NO
CHANGE in SCHOOL BOARD
Representative B. F. Mann
Makes Public His Position on
the Proposed School Bill, in
a Letter to a Friend. in Which
He Says That 1t is Now Too
Late For Measure to be Re-
drafted.

The proposed bill providing for
election of members of the Board of
Education by the people will not be
passed by the Legislature. The News
is in a position to so state upon the
authority of Hon. B. F. Mann, repre-
sentative from this county.
Up until yesterday Mr.. Mann had
not announced his position in the mat
ter, but he has reached a final con-
clusion, and has made his views pub
lie.
Some two weeks ago he was pre-
sented with a petition. containing two
hundred and sixty-nine signatures, re-
questing the passage OF a bill pro-
viding for the election of Board men,
bers. AT the time the petition was cir
culated the bill had not been prepar-
ed. and the provisions of the bill were
unknown Several days after the Pc
tition was sent to Atlanta, the bill was
drawn by City Attorney Meader. and
sent to the local representative by
N. Fl. Ballard
AT the time The News published an
outline of the measure. Under the
bill as drawn, 1t provided for an cleo
tion for new members on August 30th,
who were to take Office on September
lst. The act required the new board
~ sapkemhar latAsa alact i nesf saps
erintendent of schools. The present
members were to go out OF Office on
that day.
This bill was not introduced, but
was returned by Mr.. Mann, who took
the position that he was opposed to
any bill that did not carry with it the
referendum before becoming law;
that he was opposed to legislating the
present. members out OF office or the
superintendent, and that he would not
introduce the bill unless these provi-
sions were incorporated in any amend
ed billsthat might be sent him.
During the present week, those ad-
vocating the measure had changes
made In the bill. and sent the same
to Atlanta. The amended bill provid-
ed for a referendum to be held on
August goth, at the same time the new
members were to be elected, but con-
tanned the same provision as to ending
the terms of the present board mem
bers on September 1st, rather than as
their terms expired.
Yesterday he again returned the
bill. II is understood that be again
advised those who were advocating
the measure. that he could not intro
duce the same, since 1t still contained
the provisions to which he was op-
posed. and stated that II was now too
late in the session to give such con
sideration to a measure affecting thel
welfare OF the public schools. as a
matter Of such vital importance should
receive, and after such consideration.
to get the same through before the
end Of the session.
It is understood that many OF those
who originally signed the petition
have. since the provisions Of the bfil
were made public. written Represen-
tative Mann stating that they signed
the petition under misapprehenslcn
a. to what the bin was to contain, and
asking that their names be withdrawn.

New York, March 1.-THE New
York Central Railroad Company an
nounced that, beginning April 16, ii
would revise downward the wages
of approximately $4,000 employees.
1t was understood that the subsidi-
airy lines, forming a system which
employs 174,000 men, or almost
one-tenth Of the railway workmen
in the United States, soon would fol-
low the lead of the parent organiza-
ton.

Eighty-five classifications Of EN-
ployes will be affected by the reduc-
lions and most of these men are
members of one or another of the
national labor organizations, the

The reductions proposed will be
variable, but probably will be based

PLUNS II APRIL
Republicans Are Pushing Claims
For u. s. Offices In
Kentucky

Louisville, KY, March IL. Ike
publican leaders are expected to hold
a conference here late in March or
early in April for the purpose OF
discussing the distribution of Fed
eral patronage in Kentucky. The
actual date for the conference has
not been agreed on as yet, so far as
leaders here profess to know. In
the meantime much speculation re-
garding the parceling out of posi-
lions is being INDUCED in, and vari-
Gus applicants for appointments are
pressing their claims industriously.
E. II. Smith, Glasgow, is an ac-
tive candidate for the post of United
States Attorney for the Western
District of Kentucky, according to
7. l.. Humble, Republican campaign
chairman of Barren County, who
was in Louisville.
Mr.. Smith has he backing Of
practical; -: the fading Republ'-
can pcrI'c his of tie Third )ist'!u.
Nr Hun - d, 4 h.s his': hope
of obtaining the appointment.
Besides Mr.. Smith, others being
mentioned for the appointment are
John p. Hasweli, Hardinsburg. who
made the race for Congress from the
Fourth District in the recent cam
paign: Robert II. Lucas. City Prose
cutor of Louisville; NJ. H. Thatcher,
attached to the city's legal depart
ment. and George DuRelle, Louis
vile, now a bankruptcy referee,
Judge DuRelle has served as United
States District Attorney here, and
NJ. Thatcher has served rs assist
ant.
Lilburn Phelps, Russell County,
secretary of the Republican State
Central Committee, is being men
toned for the post Of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney. He said that he did
not know whether he would become
an active candidate.
Thomas Jackson. Lebanon, is an
active applicant for the post of Col
lector of Internal Revenue to sue
coed Elwood Hamilton, Democrat,
and so is j. M. Perkins of Frank
fort. MIR. Perkins was in Washing
ton recently in the interest of his
candidacy.
William Z. Ross, sheriff of Jeffer-
son county, is said to have the
promise of certain influential Re-
publican leaders here that they will
exert themselves in an effort to OBJ
tain for him the post of United
States Marshal for this district.
Others being mentioned in that con-
nection are George ]. Long, Louis
vile, who once held the Office; Les

B. Martin, Ohio county.
Thomas Walker, Lexington. and
Imar Barber, formerly of Owings-

vile, are mentioned for the post of
Collector Of Customs, now held by
Pres Ray, Democrat. Clayton Curd,
Greenville, Third District commit
teeman, was an applicant for the
appointment, but announced his
withdrawal
Despite the fact that Ludlow F.
Petty, chief of police of Louisville
seems TO have the support of most
of the leaders here for postmaster of
Louisville, State Senator Herman F.
Monroe hasn't given up hope. He is
relying largely on the support OF
Frank Russell, who is said TO be a
cioSS friend of President Warren G.

MEDICAL MEN PUZZLED
OVER STRANGE CASE.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-What is death?
Medical men here were frankly
puzzled today over the strange case
of Charles Mcmahon, who to all in
dications was dead yesterday, but
who today is alive and, as he ex-
pressed it, better than 40 dead men,"
If one is dead" when the heart
ceases to beat, the lungs apparently
cease to respond to all known tests
and the body grows cold, then Nc
Mahon died" On an operating table,
where an operation had been per-
formed for complication of organ
ic disorders.
A mirror held to the mouth show
cd not the slightest moisture. The
described symptoms of dissolution
appeared one by one. Oxygen was ad-
ministered many times without ap-
parent effect and then suddenly Nc
Mahon heaved a sigh.
Continued work brought Mcmahon
completely out Of the anaesthetic and
today he was resting easily in his
rotten, l will bring my books into

ROBBERS BREAK
INTO POSTOFFICE
Attempt to Blow Open Safe at Mar
ion. Loot Very Small.

Marion, Feb. 10-The new postof-
flee building here was entered last
night and an attempt was made to
open the big vault, where the stock
Of stamps and other valuables are
usually stored.
The back door of the building was
shattered with a hammer and several
cash drawers were robbed, about fif-
ty dollars in cash being taken. No
small change was accepted by the rob
bers, who took only the big money.
goodly amount of stamps was left
in drawer at the general delivery
window, from which some money was
stolen. In the main office, which con-
tains a big outside safe and big
vault, great deal of damage was
done. Upon entering the office this
morning clerks found that not only
had the back door been shattered and
various cash drawers forced open,
but that the vault had been damaged
Upon the floor was a sledge hammer,
which was found to be the property of
w. w. McEachern, blacksmith, whose
shop was entered during the night, a
medicine dropper, with which the nj
tro-glycerine was poured into the
crevices of the vault; a green wood
stopper and the hinge butts and COM
bination knobs to the vault was also
found. The robbers had broker the
butts from the two big hinges with
the sledge, and had used the same
tool to break off the combination.
Little damage to the safe was done.
So crude were the instruments us
ed that people belive it to be the
work of amateurs, as it is not believ-
lnI hat 10,
failed to have opened the vault at
| first.
On the other hand, there seems to
be evidence of the work of a "spot-
ter" in this case, as no less than
three attempts were made to steal
high-powered automobiles during the
night. The garage of Henry Buck was
forced open. Mr.. Buck had locked the
switch of his car and it could not
be moved. An attempt was made to
enter the garage of E. T. Hughes but
this attempt failed for some unknown
reason. At the home of H. l.. Thigh
man, however, the garage was broken
into, big Packard six started up and
out into the street where the driver
in his haste choked the engine. Sc
patient was he, however, that he ran
the batteries down in attempting to
start the engine again. He had sim.
ply mistaken the spark lever for the
gasoline lever and kept the engine
flooded with gasoline. The car was
found in the street before the Thigh
man home, a few blocks from the
postoffice, early today. Postmaster ].
r. Montgomery promptly reported
the matter to government authori-
| ties.

JACK McDUFFIE WRITES
OF AIRPLANE ACCIDENT
Mullins Enterprise.

Mullins Enterprise.
Last week we carried q news item
OF the wreck of an automobile which
came near causing the death of the
pilot, Jack McDuffie, a Marion coun-
ty boy. 1t is gratifying to know that
this daring young avitor, escaped
with his life, .and his injuries were
only slight.
In a letter to his father, Mr..
Emerson McDuffie, he writes the
following and gives very in
teresting description of the wreck on
Langley Field, Va:
I'm inclosing picture or two Of
my wreck down in Georgia. They
are not very good, however, and
I'm going to make some more If I
ever get time. At present I'm busy
taking over the organization again
and studying courts-martial. They
issued new book of $50 pages on
1t last week and we have an exami-
nation ON 1t tomorrow. The wreck
wasn't as bad as it looks, nor as bad
oil pipe burst about 20 miles from
Macon when we were on our way
to Savannah Zen route to Charles
ton, Wilmington and Langley and
caused me to have to land in a very
soft sandy field. 1 landed about as
slow as 1 could-4O miles an hour
but the wheels and tail-skid dug into
the ground and we went nver on our
backs, breaking one wing, the CEN
ter section struts, propeller, rudder
and one wheel. After 1T turned over
the oil which was spread all over
everything caught on fire, but we
soon put it out. We had a twelve
volt battery lying loose in the bot
tom of the ship and as we went over
1T came up and cut my upper lip,
but that's all we'll now. We had to
ship the plane to a repair depot and
came On by train. JACK.

Use Fertilizers Intelligently.

Clemson College, February 16 -
Il found one farmer recently who
has been. using 6 percent potash on
his cron, and this on red clay land"
says j. r. Clark, Richland county
agricultural agent. "He had used
last year about 800 pounds per acre
OF mixed fertilizer containing 6
percent potash and had put most of
1t under the corn at planting time
l think l have convinced him that
this does not pay. / am advising all
OF my farmers CD against the use Of
fertilizer without first determining
what they need, and what amount
will be best, and (2) not to spend
money for high-priced ingredients
from which they will not get ade-
quate returns"
