Board the, following note:
Dr. N. W. Hicks,
Chairman School Board
Florence, S. C.
My dear Sir:—
On Feb. 18th, 1920, I stated to the
School Board in regular session that
1 had been offered work in Winthrop
College during the coming summer.
I told tiie board that 1 bad to an
swer at once and so referred the
matter this early to the hoard for it:;
advice. I called to the attention of
the hoard the fact that the offered
employment was for a time beyond
the school term here and really
brought up the question of my re
maining in the superintendfency ano
ther year. The board unanimously,
without raising any question or of
faring the slightest criticism about
the work of the schools, asked that
1 decline the work at Winthrop Col
lege and remain with the Florence
schools. 1 told the board 1 would,
do as requested.
Since then the board has held one
or two meetings without the official
Secretary and Superintendent to dis
cuss scl|3ol matters and this after
noon notified me that the board
would meet in the superintendent’s
office at five o’clock. 1 was here as
notified by you to be. The meeting
I am inclined to believe is beinjj
held elsewhere, since no member of
the hoard has come to the appointed
place. This being the case, 1 cannot
longer serve you as Superintendent,
jailer the expiration <jf my present
1 term. Your board made with me on
! February a binding moral contract
I without question and unanimously. I
! ask you in no way, construe this let-
to serve longer as Superintendent of
Schools. My inclination was to
leave on April 16th. However I
have appreciated the cordial support
and cooperation always given me
by (lie citizens of Florence and the
parents of the schools. Too I have
appreciated the excellent work and
cooperation so uniformly given me
by my teachers and I intended to fin
ish the session as a duty to citizen
ship, the teachers and the pupils
and schools that I love and to which
I have given a decade of thought and
work.
The growth and development of
(he schools have been a source of

to
pride, the kindly support of the Flor
ence citizenship have been a joy and
ample compensation.
.vly record, fellow citizenship, has
been constantly before you. I ask
you to consider it in the whole. 1
have tried to give you conservatively
and concisely the record of recent
events that have come as a great sur
prise to me. You must be the final
judge. Certainly I submit the mat
ter to you cheerfully. I wish I could
have made your schools better for
you.
In saying good bye to my teachers
I have said to them collectively
what I have to some singly. Thqt is
to leave me out off all consideration
in making your applications for po
sition:;. u must be N a matter of your
discretion. If the question of loyalty
enters in then 1 release you surely.'
Thanking •you for the many kind
nesses that you have shown me dur
ing my decade as your employer, I
am,
Very truly,
W. L. BROOKER,
Superintendent
Proper Care of Parrots,
Parrots in the wild state live on
seed and fruit and should, while In
captivity, be fed as nearly as possible
the same kind of food. They should
be fed sunflower seed, hemp seed,
boiled yellow corn, s’l'le bread soaked
In water, an occasional piece of ap
ple or banana, roasted peanuts and dry
crackers. Plenty of water and gravel
should he kept in the cage. The par
rot’s cage should he cleaned every day.

Ever since there was money, people
have dreamed of what they would do it
immensely rich.
But the most sensible thing is to say is
“what shall I do with this 28 cents?”
Do you know that 28 cents a day often

No official announcement was made
to me of the meeting which was
held elsewhere, while i had waited
for two 1-curs, until May 14th al
though two meetings of the Board-
had yif/ervened. No acknowledge- f
ment of my letter of April 16 to the'
chairman was made until the meet
ing of May 14th.
Proceeding the meeting- of May 14
the chairman of the Board had as
sembled the teachers in each white
school and in his talks to them had
referred very critically to the Super
intendent of Schools, 1 am told.
On May 14th tile Superintendent
of schools was instructed to at ten I
a hoard meeting In his office. At
this meeting the question of the
boards asking the superintendent to
decline his work at Winthrop college
and lemain in Florence was discus
sed. The minutes of Feb. 2<lth was
read. The Secretary had recorded
that he stated to th« Board that the
offered employment at Winthrop col
h lege was for a period beyond Ids em-
r I ploytnent here and so brought Up the
|! further question of Ids remaining in
s the- superintendfency here and that
“!the board had asked him to decline
thework and remain here. A major
(ty of the- board stated that they had
not heard the statement about re
maining here and that they certain
ly did not intend the action to be in
terpreted as a request to the superin
tendent to remain here another year.
The majority ordered the minutes
changed by striking out the state
ment of the superintendent and the
request to remain here permitting
the request that he decline work at
Winthrop college to remain. A mi
nority member stated the minutes
were exactly correct and a true
statement of what happened and
asked to be recorded as objecting
to any change. The statement of the
superintendent as recorded was ver
batim as he_made it to the board.
= The majority” either did not hear it
A i or did not understand it as it was
intern Vd. I am sorry it was not
clear for it was certainly vital and
recorded carefully by ihe secretary.
The original notes vr the meeting
taken at a t me when even thing
was harmonious are just as recorded
in the permanent record and were
clear to the secretary, but the ma
jority of the board ordered the
change.
Following this the Chairman pre
sented Superintendent’s Brooker re
signation made on April 16th. It was
formally not accepted. Following
this was a third motion instructing
the chairman of the board to notify
Supt Brooker that he had been nomi
nated for reelectlon ’and had been
defeated by a vote of 3 to 2 on April
16th.
Considering the whole case to the
end of last week, I find it impossible
“Tanlac—a mighty good medicine,
I think.”
That is the words Mrs. Ada Davis,
of Greer, S. C., used in expressing
her high gratitude for tl^e benefit
this remedy gave her when sife took
it for stomach troubles, and other
ailments
*‘l suffered from a badly run down
condition, and felt badly all the time.
At times I could hardly do my work
and I hud to spend part of almost
every day resting in ied. 1 was aw
fully nervous. It was difficult for me
to get to sleep, aiH ! sc old ro'! and
tumble a good while each night lie
fore going to sleep. I bad indigesllon
badly, also, and was Just broken
down.
“The things I read about Tanlac
influenced me to take it. It sure did
help me, too. and In a short time my
nerves were good. I steadily gained
in strength, and, when I quit taking
Tanlac, 1 was strong and able to eas
ily do my work. My appetite improv
ed, and that indigestion left and lias
not returned. I think Tanlac is a
mighty good medicine for stomach
trouble—it wa s that and much mo
for me.” Given 5-12 17.

Dangers to Be Avoided.
Wrong eating brings disease and pi»
mature aging. This Is obvious to all
unprejudiced minds. And there are
two principal styles of eating which
must be avoided to secure dependable
health—namely, eating badly prepared
food and eating too much of food prop
erly prepared.—J. M. Tilden, M D.

If you own a Ford, Chevrolet, Dort,' Maxwell
or any other car using 30x3-, 30x3 1 /2-‘, or
31x4-inch tires, you can well take advantage
of the high relative value built into all Good
year Tires. * *
You can well do so because you can secure
in the smaller Goodyear Tires the results of 1
such skill and care as have made Goodyear
Tires the preferred equipment on the high
est priced automobiles of the day.
You can well do so because these smaller '
Goodyear Tires are easy to obtain, being
produced at the rate of appf&ximately 20,000
a day, and because their first cost usually is
as low or lower than that 1 of other tires in
the same types and sizes. .
Go to the nearest Goodyear Service Station^
Dealer for these tires, and for Goodyear
Heavy Tourist Tubes. He supplies niany
other local owners of the smaller cars.
