Is Be ing Impeached for Manner Ho Conducts HLs ScLwoL Dr. J. L. Mann, formerly of Abbe ville, son of Rev. Coke D. Munu, and recently superintendent of the city schoolB of Florence for years and with great succoss, is undergoing Im peachment proceedings at Greens boro, X. C., where he is superinten ent of the city schools. The Char lotte Observer has the following: Greensboro. Aug. 1.?South Carolina politics found its way into the Mann impeachment proceedings this after noon when counsel for the petitioners tor removal sought to discredit or disconcert witnesses from Florence by forcing the declaration that they supported Blease for governor. The incident came at the beginning of the cross-examination of Dr. F. P. Cov ington, a former member of the Flor ence school board and a prominent cit izen of that place. Dr. Covington came here with F. A. Barringer, a banker and merchant of Florence, to testify to the high standing of Dr. Mann in Florence and South Carolina as a teacher, scholar, honest and upright Christian gentleman. Kftlsos Witness Ire When he was turned over to the counsel of the prosecution. Attorney David Stern said: "Doctor, we would like to know whether you are a Bleasite or Jonesite." "I'll answer in the same spirit," shot back the doctor, his eyes flash ing and his arm going up in an em phatic gesture. "If you knew me I would consider an assertion or in sinuation that I was a Bleasite an insult. No man dares make such an accusation on South Carolina soil." At other stages laughs were brought out by the doctor's reference to the governor of South Carolina. Mr. Bar ringer, too, declared that he was a Jonesite. He said ho was a merchant in Florence and that his competitor was for Blease. The result is that the competitor gets his trade from people who support Blease while he gets the Jones supporters. Both, he 8**u, nau maae ana iosi gooa cus tomers by reason of the South Caro lina political situation. The two South Carolina witnesses inserted their evidence in the records with the direct examination of Dr. Mann being called that they might leave the city on an afternoon train. After they had testified Dr. Mann came back to the stand and when ad journment was taken at 5 his coun sel stated that they had concluded the direct examination. His cross examination will begin at 9:30 tomor row morning.

In the aftter noon the crowd was the largest of the entire investigation, hundreds be ing unable to gain admission to the court room. Dr. Mann's testimony to day was given more in the nature of speeches to the large audience than _ in the form of answers to interroga-j tories. Many times he would rise.

He declared it his opinion that athletic stunts, which were fea tured in the schools when fce came, were prejudical to the interests of the schools, while healthful athletics were of advantage. He said when he came to Greens boro he round a splendid high school spirit, but discovered soon that the j football and baseball teams were de cidely the leading features of that spirit, while the intellectual standard was low. He found the Greensboro high school football team to be the champions of the state, while educa ; tionally it was rated low in com parison with state schools, it being i in Class B whereas suoh places a ; Raleigh, Asheville, Durham, Oak : Ridge, Mars Hill, Salisbury .Charlotte and other schools were in the A | class. ! He said ha set about remedying this condition by requiring that students i falling below 78 in average of studies 1 should not be permitted to leave the i city en baseball or football teams. rPK;?* ? ?? 1; n rr nonoQfl frir?Hr?n Q n H dt .
