MORNING MEE TING Of the Graded School Board Teach ers Elected to Fill Vacancies A Sa lter in ten dent Elected Examina tions Required Building- to Be Overhauled. At the early hoar of 7.45. o'clock this (Tuesday) morniDg the Graded School board met to transact their important business which has bten pending for some time the election of teachers. ' There were two places as regular teachers still unfilled . These va cancies will be filled bv Miss Ora Hoover$ (f thl8 place and Miss Fan nie M Littles, of Richmond county. Prof. O S Coler, of Zinesyille, yj uiUf was oicuicu. no euuciiutcuucub for the coming year. The place of principal or tne white eonoois is still vacant, and consideration will m m . be given the nominations made by the new superintendent. Mr. Coler, the superintendent elect, comes very highly recommended. It was decided by the board that all teachers stand an examination by the superintendent before the opening of the se sion. The work of a complete over hauling of the building: was talked of and will be done later before school opens. This was certainly an early hour for the board to mset, but neyer cneies3 tnere was a lull meeting, every member being present except Mr. Baker Morrison, who has been ruled out by the State superintends ent and attorney general on account of being no longer president of the ward from which he was elected.

The Electric Headlight. Qiite a nnmber of people were at the depot Monday night to seethe electric headlight on No. 35, the southbound fast mail arriving here at 9 25 At 9 15 0 0 ocki which was 10 minutes before it arriyed, one could see the first refltCtions on the sky of this brilliant light. As the train would turn the different curves miles away, the, rays of light would b6 thrown from one place to an other similar to a search light. When it got within two miles of this place- it bscame very bright, and as soon as the engine turned the curve at tna i5un4io mius a very bright light fell on the walls of the Cannon Mills. JUveryone about the depot or the Cannon Mills, who are not in the shadow, can be easily discerned. It is well worth the trouble of any one to go to the depot and see it. The engine runs usually on Nos. 35 and 36, going up one morning and coming down on the night of th next day' at 9.25. At present there is only one on this division. The Southern is now running this ono as an experiment, and if it proves satisfactory all engines will very pi obably be - equipped- with them. PERSONAL POINTER.
