have led up to the exiting contusion;
but enough is known on The 5
the outside to carry a fair idea of ciat
the issues involved. Indeed the pre
whole affair is pretty well understood
throughout the town, the
people geuerally being in pos lho
session of the facts to a more Southe
complete extent than would be ke*d ir
warranted in a newspaper pub- we?h,
Heat ion. Briefly, however, the '^ie at
trouble is like this. Some months cotton
ago, two boy pupils were sus- Mr. J*
pended for alleged gross rniscon- ^le
duct. Tne order of suspension uml)ia
was made by Mr. J. C. Allen, or?ani:
the superintendent. It was in- war on
definite in its effect; but as Mr. change
Allen did not give any intimation ture9 0
of rescinding it, the matter was converi
taken before the trusteee. The migrat
trustees after reviewing the mer- cussed
its of the case to the best of their f?vor,n
ability with the light available, immig
verbally indicated their approval Southe
of Mr. Allen's action ; but sug- ^m0
ge?ted that the Suspended boys 8PeHke
might be re-insta'ed. Mr. Allen Hoke
handed over the keys of the Ex Go
school. He was persuaded to olina.
withhold his resignation on the crown
assurance that the Intimated de- imousl
sire of a majority of the board ^otv
was merely by wa}T of suggestion ^on t0
and entirely unofficial. The statu v*e ^01
quo was maintained for some dent,
weeks alter this incide :t until it t he ass
was brought up at another meet- Hickor
ing of the board Tuesday night. W

and endorsing the course of the zer?
