Tlic Patrons and Trustees of Pour Mile Sctiool are Considerable Wroufht Up b> Reason of the Questionable Color and Moral and Plivsical Condition of Some Children, The County Board of Education hold a mooting last Saturday for tbo purpose of deciding an appual taken by Caroline Roberts from a decision of the trustees of School District No 7-1 near Conway expelliug her two children from the school. All of the members of the Board, to-wit. Supt Brown, and Messrs E J Sherwood and N J Builock were preseu t, The trustees who expelled the children arc Messrs j J j mes, j C King and J S Lewis. After argument by tho attorneys, the Board decided to continue the hearing until Thursday of this week at which time many witnesses will boox irnined, and the decision rendered, about a year ago thoso children were oxpe led on the ground that they were nob white children. In the light before the Board it was not proved that the children had oneeighth of negro blood, and hence they could no, bo expelled, This time they have been expelled on the ground of their moral and physical conditions, and surroundings, and a hoa ? ! nr* I lllo nron'* ?*??!! Ivrt I ^ " uuui nig i/incj >yuui\ win yu uiuiif^ u dill'erent line. At the opening of the present term of the Four Mile School near Conway, the trustees of the school signed an order aud sent to their mother vofusing to admit them. These aro the same children who wore excluded from this school about a year ago on the ground that they were not white, and on that occasion the board decided that the / evidence did not warrant their exclusion. The present controversy was hoard last Thursday and they were dismissed this last time upon the ground that the moral and physical condition of these children and their surroundings at home were such that the other patrons of the school refused to send their children to school with them. The hearing was to have been had ou Saturday of week before last, but the matter was continued until last Thursday to give time to some of the parties to prepare for the hearing. The matter was heard by the County { Itn.\rd l.iQt. Tlinrs.dn.v. The hearing was attended by all tho patrons of the school and they all testified that they would not send to school with these children for the reason that their color was questionable,, and then the character of their mother and tho home surroundings of tho children were 'demoriliz'ng. I3y other witnesses it was proved that the mother of the children, Caroline Roberts, is living on tho farm of F. W. Z:cUor and that formerly she was living on v the place of ono M. Wisby. Much of the testimony was of a nature that cannot bo printed, and there was testimony as to a peculiar ailment or sickness of one of the children a few years ago. Tho trustees testified that the patrons of this school had refused to send their children to school with the Roberts children, and that they had to excluded them or shut down the school, and seyenty-live dollars of last years appropriation was left unused. The children were represented by Messre 11. VV. Wait and Robt. B. Smrhnrnmrh while fhn nih'.^na and trustees of the school were represented by EI, EI. Woodward. All of the attorneys made arguments late in the afternoon, the hearing consuming iho greater part of the day. F, W. Zecker was called as a witness for the children as was also several women who are related to Caroline Roberts and who testified they had been living at the home of Caroline for at least a month during the last strawberry season and that they saw nothing improper there. The 4 decision of the Board is awaited with interest not only by the trustees and patrons of this school but by many others who have taken aninterest in the matter. Mr. M. J. Bullock, a member of n i.. ?i? is ? uuu vuuu^y duuiu wuu lives in Floyds township was not present at the hearing, it being understood before hand that he would not be called in the matter except in case of disagreement of Messrs Brown and Sberwocd. The Hoard held with the trustees so far as the present term is concerned and the children excluded but this does not concern the mother as to their attendance at some further date.
