Ennett has announced that he would
not care to serve any longer after the
first of July when his term expires. ,
The board has been looking around
for a man to succeed Mr. Ennett and
has had several applications. Those
who have made application are Mr.
G. W. Rhodes, of Newport; Prof. S.
E. Nelson, a native of this county now
living in Chattanooga Tenn., and Mr.
Melvin Robinson, of Teachy's, North
Carolina. It used to be the custom
to elect the Superintendent in July
but it seems that the board now has
the power to elect in April and it is
understood thst this will be done.
The News is informed that the salary
of the Superintendent of Education
which is now $1,800 will be raised to
$3,000 a year. The reason given for
the increase in salary is that all coun
