From Croft things seemed easy until the five-mile pon was reached when It wus found that the bridge over irvin's creek was be ing moved and a detour had to be made by way of the Dcrita road. This took ten minutes of precious time, but when tho car rushed up to tha Observer office and Mr. Barrlnger hurried into the Western Union, It was only 5:20 o'clock or one hour and 48 minutes of elapsed time.

Everything for the' Office It E. Fourth St., CHARLOTTE, N. C. TWO MEMBERS AGGRIEVED. Resolutions Adopted by School Board Thursday Night Create a iir Among Those Not Present Inter esting Fight Will Likely Enfeue. It appears now that the stringent resolutions adopted at the meeting of the board, of school commissioners Thursday night not only were pri marily directed at Mr. B. S. Davis, chairman of tho committee on visit ing and corrections, because of his re cent action in re-lnstating a pupil who had been indefinitely susptmdi-d, hut had to do with still later action of his In promoting on a month's trial -24 pupiln from tho sixth grado alter they had failed of advancement through the regular methods of ex amination. This is really the reason for the adoption oi' the resolutions Thursday nixiu which distinctly assign to the superintendent the right to attend to the management ot the school, and to receive -no Instructions from chairmen of committees, or Individual members of the board. The board under the resolutions will take action on ques tions in which the management Is concerned, and teachers and princi pals as well as the superintendent are lnstructej to obey orders from no other bource. Mr. DavU was not present at the late ni. eting and neither was Mr. R. X. Blair, chairman of the teachers' committee, and both of them rather feel aggrieved over such action on the part of the other members of the body. ( lalmlng that some features of the work done Thursday night di rectly came under his supervision as chairman of the teachers' commit tee, Mr. 1 lair called together tho members uf his committee last night. but they did not respond. He had somewhat to say to them, but at tho hour for convening he was the only man at the meeting place. This fact. however, dues not alter his attitude, for ha declares that he will yet as certain why the board took from his hands the po.ver which naturally as elgned itself to his committee. This means t h it the worx ot Thursday nlKlit will all le contested ami in view of Hie fact that only nine of the seventeen members were present, It looks as if the fight might have In teresting elements when It comes off.
