The many relatives and friends of
Arthur F. Harman, son of Coz. and
Mrs. Marion D. Harman of Lexington,
will be ,gratified to learn of the won

an educator in Montgomery, Ala.

The following paragraphs are taken
from a recent letter from Prof. Har-
man to his parents e. ..
"You will both be . interested to
know that the Montgomery county
board of education has recently unani-
n1ously reelected me for a term OF
five years commencing July l next.
MY salary is to continue $4,000. 90 per
year and I am to have my automobile
and it's .upkeep in addition. The
president of the board said some very
kind things when I was reelected.
However, I do not let things of this
kind turn my head: for 1 know that a
man in such position as mine can
say the word or do the thing that
makes his usefulness end and his eesig-
nation necessary. I have a very diff
ficult position but I think I have
every feature Of it in hand
unless it is the financial side of
it. We think we can clear up all our
debts and have the schools on good
footing in five years but sometimes I
get greatly discouraged over it.,

those who failed to get in before that
time will have to pay penalty Of 8
per cent together with one dolla~ for
the execution. Treasurer Smith
stated today that just as soon as the
books are distracted, which work will
take about two weeks, he will mail to
the nearly four thousand who have
not paid their taxes a statement show
ing the total amount due the county,
and in the meantime he asks. that
those who have not paid do nocado SO
in the two weeks, that he ahd Auditor
Dent may have ample tirse~in which
to get their books Strengthened out.
Executions will not be issued until
August 81, so it will not save the tax
payers anything by paying now.

creased wage, and in July of that
year granted an annual increase
which in its ultimate application
amounted to approximately $780,
100000 making its decision retro
active to May I. The carriers
loyalty accepted the decision and
paid the increased wage. Since
then the volume of business has
enormously declined and the cost
of living has diminished. Under
these circumstances the carriers
reached the conclusion that they
could not continue to pay scales OF
wages to meet conditions no longer
existing, without imposing upon
the public a scale of rates out of
relation to business conditions and
against which the public was maxi
ing vigorous protests. They ac-
cordingly pursued individually the
course pointed out by the law, and
applied to the labor board to re-
view the changed conditions and
enter an order granting a proper
reduction in wages. In this appli-
cation both parties were fully heard.
all rne circumstances were consid-
cred, and a decision was reached
and recently announced, as above
stated, fixing a new and reduced
schedule of wages for the class of
employees, some of whom you rep
resent.
