Save SIOO,OOO On Coal In Schools (Continued from Page One.) chassis can be used for hauling coal to and from school. This will save the state at least $50,000 on the cost of its coal bill this year, the commis sion believes, since it would have to pay from 35 cents to $1 a ton for hauling if it did not haul the coal in the school trucks. "Last year we had to pay from 35 cents to $1 a ton to get coal hauled so that the total cost was about $50,- 000." Beam said. “This year the coal dealers and truck owners wanted t increase the price so hauling this coal, so that fi we had not built these truck bodies for the school trucks this sum mer, the cost of getting the coal haul ed might have run as high as SIOO,OOO for the coming year. As a result of the present arrangement, however, the only cost incident to hauling this coal will be the cost of gasoline, oil and the pay of the drivers and the commission will have more money left to Use in paying the salaries of teachers or in providing more teachers." The retail coal dealers of the State protested vigorously when they learn ed that the State School Commission was going to haul its own coal this year. But the Coal Code Authority in Washington upheld the State and de cided the school commission was en tirely within its rights if it wanted to haul its own coal. It is agreed that in the past the coal dealers have made a large profit in hauling coa lfor the schools and that they did not like to see this fat plum slip away from them. City school systems will continue, as in the past, to make their own ar rangements for hauling coal. School Folk Are Already At Work (Continued from Page One.) one of the three major objectives the school forces was the preservation of the county as th unit of school ad ministration. The other two objectives, of course, were higher salaries for teachers and a larger appropriation for all school purposes. While it has been known for some that the county and city superintend ents wiould be sure to put up a de termined fight in the 1935 General As sembly against any effort to depart from the county as the administrative! school unit, it was hardly expected they would put this in their legisla tive program and announce it so far in advance of the meeting of the Gen eral Assembly. But the scare which the county superintendents had in the 1933 Assembly and the difficulty they had in finally squelching the several bills designed to a'fcolish all county superintendents as such and set up district superintendents instead, evi dently has influenced the school poli ticians to start fighting any such move in the State right now. As a result, a steady flow of propaganda is expected to start emanating from the educa tion association offices and from the office of Superintendent Guy Phillips, of the Greensboro system, who Is also president of the North Carolina Edu cation Association, against any change from the county as the unit of school 666 LIQUID TABLETS, SALVE, NOSE DROPS Checks Malaria in 3 days, Colds first I day, Headaches or Neuralgia in 30 minutes. Fine Laxative and Tonic Most Speedy Remedies Known marian martin pattern 9966 administration. The reason the North Carolina Edu cation Association is going to fight to retain the county as the unit of school gvernment—really to see that all of the 100 county superintendents keep their jobs for another two years—is, of course, because the education asso ciation, although composed of some 28,000 teachers, is run by the suprin tendents for the benefit of the sup erintendents, it is generally agreed hre. • For no teacher can vote in the sessions of the convention unless or ficially appointed as a delegate by his or her superintendent, which means that each teacher amed as a delegate must vote as his or hr superinteendnt desires or run the risk of losing his or her job. That is why the education association is controlled almost 100 pei cent by the city and*- county superin tendents, who always stick together, and why the association always fights the political battles of the superin tendents and takes the side they want it to. i It was also learned here today that the 15 or 20 representatives of text book companies in the State are also assisting the superintendents in this tight, which means that during the 1925 General Assembly the superin tendents will again have the very valuable assistance of the always pow erful and well-heeled textbook lobby in addition to the powerful lobby maintained by the education associa tion. For the textbook trust does not like a bit the new system put intc effect by the 1935 General Assembly, in spite of its bitter opposition, re quiring the State Textbook Commis sion to select basic high school text bocks as well as elementary texts and also requiring it to select supplemen tal texts. Nor do the saperintndents like this ne wlaw. So it seems that there is a sort of an understanding between the repre sentatives of the textbook trust and the superintendents that if the super intendents will use their influence to ry to change the txtbook laws, so that they can peddle their booxs again di rect to e?ch county superintendent, as in the past, that they will in turn op pose any effort to reduce the number of superintendents. For rs they can get the textbook law changed back to the old system, whereby the textbook companies can sll all high school and suppl*‘mntal books to each county sup rintndent, the textbook trust can sell mor books since ach superintendent will be able to select wbatevr texts h wants used in his system and can change them every y<*ar if he wants to. Likewise, if there are 100 super intendents instead of only 3o or 50, the textbook companies will have more prospectivec ustomers. It is a good plan if it works and the combination looks almost unbeat- But the 1935 Gneral Assembly may do its own thinking. ; Negative Replies Not New Deal Foe (Continued from Page One.) proves that he considered Nos. 1,2, 3. 4 and 5 purely rhetorical.

Pair Get Bottles Mixed and Pay For Drunken Driving Dully Dl iMitch llarma, In the Sir Waltrr Hotel. BY J C MASK 1511 VIL.I». Raleigh, July 31. —Just because they put their liquor in a milk bottle before starting pn a fishing trip, put the liquor bottle next to the milk bottle in their lunch basket and then mis took the milk bottle that contained the liquor for the one that contained milk, two High Point mbs who start ed fishing landed in court yesterday fer drunken driving. They gave their names as H. V. Hedgecock and J. I Hilton. Hedgecock, wno was driving the car when overtaken by two high way patrolmen who saw it wobbling along Highway 109 below Thomasville, was fined SSO and costs and had his license revoked for four months. Hel ton was fined $5 and costs on two counts. The outing cost Hedgepeth $72.20 and Helton $32.10. “It all happened because they put the liquor in a m*!k bottle and then forgot which bottle contained the milk and which the liquor until after they had drunk enough from the milk bottle to make them pretty well spif flicated, according to their account of it,” Lt. W. J. Croom, of the Stat< Highway Patrol, who, with Patrol man C. H. Ingram, mtte the arrests. “They told us that they had put the bottle of liquor and the bottle of milk side by side with their lunch in the back of the old Model T Ford they were driving to the place they were going to fish. On their way tney de cided to drink some of the milk, so they said so one of them reached back to get the milk bottle turned it up and drank liberally from it before he discovered that he had the liquor bot tle instead of the milk bottle. It seems that the other occupant of the car made the same mistake?. “By the time we overtook them near Thomasville enough of the liquor that had been in the milk bottle was in them so that the Model T was wob bling about the road very badly."
