Teach oi-s' Salaries Announced
North Carolina rural school teachers,
including principals, most of
whcm are part-time teachers, will re-j;'
ceive ah average salary of $550.6613
during the present school year, or J J
$10 59 a week for the lull 12 months j
period, it' the schools operate and they
are paid for the full eight months
term, figures compiled by Stale education
department, show.
The compilation shows that there
are 16,979 teachers and principals^
white and colored) jr: the lural schools
of the State, exclusive of those 37
towns having populations of 5,000 or
more, and exclusive of the New Han
over schools, tn which the count}' and
Wilmington schools are combined.
The highest average among the 99
counties is $637.40 for the year, to
he paid in the rural schools of Guilford
County, while the lowest average
is $460.07 for the year, to be paid
teachers and principals in Halifax
County. The highest county average
is $12.25 weekly and the lowest is
$8.85 weekly, based on the twelve- i
month year. AH of the counties av- ,
erage less than $680.00 a year, or |
$12.50 a week; in 80 counties the average
is below $585.00, or $11.25 a
week; and in 30 counties the average
^ is less "litem : 5555.00 or 5 iu.00 each
week.
The differences between high and
low salaries and all variations in salaries
are due to the differences in
training and experience of the- teachers
and principals employed in the
various counties. The counties ill
which $600 or more are paid are Buncombe.

Fount a in to Take Stump
former Lieutenant Governor Richard
T. Fountain, whc- was runner-up
in the Democratic primary for governor
two years ago, is said to oe preparing
to take stump and field in behalf
of the candidacy or Harold Cootey.
Nashville attorney, seeking to succeed
the late Edward W. Pou as congressman
for the Fourth North Carolina
District.
This would b? but natural, for Mr.
Cooley went down the line for Mr.
Fountain, his feliow county man. *n
tut piM '-i Lt\ji ir- ?nu. it t\n\jv>;.i uidi
Mr. Fountain will give Mr. Cooley his
unstinted support, to what extent it
is not known yet. He evidently hopes
to get the old Fountain organisation
behind him. and if he does, it
will give the >tber candidates fits.
For Mr. Fountain led Governor Ehringhaus
in the counties oi this district
almost two and a half to one,
2S.510 to 13,036.
On the other hand. George Ross
Pau. who seeks to succeed his father,
was credited with "going down the
line" for Governor Ehringliau3, and
it is looked upon as likely that what
support the Governor had in the district
will go to ??Ir. Poti. as they are ,
known to he very friendly. But. the
Fountain machine is not expected to j
function in its delapidated condition !
now as well as it did two years ago. j
and there are other factors which en- i
tcr the contest and which would scern j
to presage that U will be the most
interesting of the several in the State.
Senator J. VV. Bailey, though claiming
to play hands off. does not like
Mr. Pou. his wife's first cousin, prohibit
starting with Mr. Pou's support
Dt Governor A. \V. MacLean against
Mr. Bailfiy in 1924.
J^itvronre's Charges Disputed

looks like a "company union"

charter and affiliation, which was
held up, and that Secretary Frank
Morrison, Washington, explained that
the high force would have to split
up into their respective crafts and
join the proper national or international
union. Finding many of the
state employees would not have classifications.
the group decided to organize
its own group, Shan said, being
aware of the financial condition of
the State and that impossible demands
would not be made, but onlypeaceful
methods used.

i retained by the National Association
for Aclvan cement of the Colored Race
to represent another negro after he
had been convicted of assault with
intent to commit rape upon the nineyear-old
daughter of his employer.
"I decline to recognize you as nis
attorney because he hasn'c said he
hired you. and right now I want to
say that the suggestion that a negro
can't get as fair a trial as any white
man in this court is a lie," Judge. Grady
told the would-be attorney for the
negro And. on the same day. he gave
two vvflte men the limit permitted
undr.r the law for an assault on a negro
man.
Judge Grady served as grand dragon
of the Ku Klux Klan in North
Carolina in its ascendency and resigned
giving as bis reason its degeneracy.
He is a colorful jurist and
given to making utterances and doing
things that set him apart.
Textbook k'ureha.ses Considered
Purchase of public school textbooks!
outright from the publishers by the
State of North Carolina win be considered
by the State Board of Education
when it calls for bids on history
books now being considered, in addition
to the present plan of distribution,
which provides that the publishers
distribute the books to ideal dealers
and include it in the book cost.
The board has not decided to adopt
this plan of direct purchase, but has
asked the publishers to submit bids
jcn the new books to be adopted on
? the plan suggested as well as the local
distribution plan At present the
books are bought with the understanding
that tbey are to be distributed
within reach of the parents and
are consigned to a central depository
tin Raleigh, from which they are sent
to local dealers. Under the plan under
which bids have been asked, the
; Stale would recieve the books and undertake
to distribute then: through
i local dealers.
Get National Aid on Buses
Reports from Washington indicate
that North Carolina has l>een granted
the $180,000 requested, or 30 per
cent. 01* the $000,000 the State has
decided it will use in the purchase
of school buses to replace old and uneconomical
buses now in use in transporting
pupils. With the $600,000, of
which the State would furnish $420,000.
about 750 new buses could be
purchased and made to take the place
of about 1.000 old buses now in use,
Claude Gaddy, in charge of school
bus transportation for the State
School Commission, reports.
The commission has 4,050 buses in
operation this year, which includes
several hundred model T Fords and
| other safe but uneconomical old cars,
j The grant will permit retirement of
j these old buses from service and thus
cut the cost of maintenance considlerahly.

mission, went to Washington recently

the State's request. IVhiic official notice
has not been received at the office,
Washington dispatches say the
grant has been made.
State Positions Shifted
Several shifts of positions have
been made in the State Highway and
Public Works Commission as the result
of the resignation of George Ross
Pou as executive director to enter the
race for the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the Fourth District,
to succeed his late father.
Jack Roach, Statesville, has been
named as Mr. Pou's successor at a
salary of $3,150 a year, only slightly
more than half of the $6,000 paid
Mr. Pou, but a boost of some $300
above Mr. Roach's former salary. Oscar
Pitts, former legislator from Cahawba
County, who has been one of
the two chief field inspectors under
Mr. Roach, will be his chief assistant
in <the office here, and Charles
Creech, the other field inspector, will
handle the entire job for the present,
it i3 announced.

FERA administration of George
Rosa, not to be confused with George
Ross Pou and not even related to him,
who will look after farm aclicities

farms in a part of the Gardner administration,
has been looking after
prison farms for several months. His
