.DEACONS CALL
CHURCH MEET
Will Act on Osteen Resig-

Saturday Night

Following an announcement
made by the Rev. Jesse Osteen,

sue of The Times-News that a
special meeting would be held at
that church Saturday night, at
which a committee would act upon

TODAY from the board of deacons
to the effect that there will be no
church conference Saturday eve
ming but that the board of dea-
cons has called a church confer
ence for Sunday morning, to con-
slider the resignation of the Rev.
Jesse Osteen. -,
The announcement of the
board of even date, reads as fol-
lows:
"There will be no church con-
ference at Green River Baptist
church Saturday evening. But the
board of deacons has called a
church conference at the church
Sunday a. M, at 1000 o'clock to
consider the resignation of Rev.
Jesse Osteen, who resigned some
time ago.
"The church will settle its own
disputes, if it has any, in accord

TEACHER PAY
RATES FIXED
Brummitt Fails to Win
Fight for a Higher
Schedule
By ]. c. BASKERVILL
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. Sept. 8.-Deciding
it was better to adopt salary
schedule for teachers based on
the amount of money available
for them rather than a schedule
that was higher than could actual
" be paid. the state board of ed
ucation finally approved the salary
schedule as drawn up by the state
school commission several weeks
ago. The only vote against its APP
proyal was cast by Attorney Cen
eraI Dennis G. Brummitt, who last
week sought to get the board of
education to approve a salary
schedule for teachers 10 per cent
higher than the one that has now
been adopted. The board at that
time refused to act on the motion
of the attorney general, deciding
that it should wait until Governor
]. C. B. Ehringhaus and Lieuten,-
ant Governor A. H. Graham could
be present, in spite of his vlgor-
Gus protest.
This action by the state Doaru
of education bears out the predlc-
ton made by this correspondent
early this week to the effect that
the board would refuse to adopt
the motion made by Attorney
General Brummitt and approve
the salary schedule as already,
drawn up by joint committee OF
the board of education and the
school commission and approved
by the school commission. This
same story pointed out that even
if the increase of 10 per cent ad-
vocated by the attorney general
should be made, it would be mean,
ingless. since the teachers would
not get any higher salaries Tor
the reason that there is just so
much money. This salary sched-
ule. as all those who have studied
the question know, is purely a
temporary schedule. In fact, 1t
might more correctly be called
nothing more than a plan for the
distribution of salaries to teach
ers, based on the amount OF
money available for this purpose:

ST. LOUIS, Sept. S.-(UP).-
Fatalities from sleeping sickness

week than any time since the

This brought the total dead to

The spreading agent of the

day. with a group of noted ex-
