Battle for Control AS

commission to examine and report on
the States educational set-up put the
perennial row over control of spend
ing school money right back in the
public eye and on the agenda of the
1899 General Assembly.
1t did so by it's section No. 9, which
recommended that the Assembly pro-
vide that the present administration
of the public schools be placed under
the State Board of Education, with
the present School Commission as an
advisory commission. This is urged,
the report said, feeling that 1T is for
the best interest of the public school
system to have immediate relief from
scattered administration
That tossed the fat right into the
fire of controversy, the same contro-
versy that has ragged in every legisla-
ture since the School Commission was
set up in 1888 to control the financ-
ing of the public schools.
Ever since then, the Department OF
Public instruction, backed by the So
called school people," has fought
desperately to getscontrol of spending
! the more than $25,000,0 00C annually
appropriated for the support of the
p,,blic schools. In the 1885 and 1871
Assemblies the attack was completely
renulsed as the legislators decided
thew wanted to see a strict rein kept
on the school spending by a group q
business men appointed by the COVER

with expanding the educational sys

4. High school instruction which is

6. Constantly widening breech be-

Paris, Dec. 8. (AP)-Concern spread
in France today on reports from the
Spanish frontier that Italian troops
were concentrating in insurgon
Spain, within easy striking distances
of France.
These reports, which lacked official
confirmation, said the asserted Italian
troop movement had begun Novem-

Reports also spread that Germany
and Italy were uniting to enforce
Italy's territorial demands on France.
Thousands of students, demonstrate

Tunisia and Corsica, battled police in
Paris streets today. President Albert

when worked during the day, and
that the nights are sufficiently
cool to insure plenty rest neees-
sary for the high-spirited show
animals.
Mr.. Mitchell indicated that a
number Of new exhibitors were
expected for the show this year.
The HenderSonville show is get
ting better known among the eX..

them welcome the opportunity to
show here and enjoy a vacation
in the mountains at the same
time.
Prize money in the state class
es has been increased for the
show this year and beautiful tr0O-
plies for other classes have al
ready been ordered. The increas-
ed prize money is also more at

men found w. Perkins Bull, veal
thy lawyer, at his home early to-

of Mrs. Maybell Horlick Sidley,
heiress to a matted milk fortune.
Bulls son, T. H. Bull, boarded

Mrs. Sidley died July 6 at the

one-third of her estate. variously
estimated at from 100000 to
$20.000,000.
Although an autopsy showed
death was from natural causes,
and a chemical analysis revealed
no trace of poison, several things,
including Mrs. Sidley's long stay
at Bulls home, caused Attorney
General Gordon Conant to order
