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

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. ;

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."

certain of entry to dummy in spades.
Lead the J of spades. South went
down because he persisted in leading
low. If West puts up his Ace on th#
first lead, his best play is to niff
dummy. Have dummy win with th*
Q of hearts. Lead the K of heart*,
leaving each opponent a single trump.
Take 2 rounds of winning diamonds.
Ruff a diamond, thus clearing
dummy’s suit. Ltad the Ace of
trumps, picking up all opposing
hearts. South will win a single triclf
over his contract.
West’s best defense is to play low
on the J of spades. Lead a second
spade. If West plays the Q. win with
the K. Lead back a spade, td clear
the suit. East will discard a dia
mond, to bother the declarer by ruf
fing the third lound of that suit

each opponent with a single trump.
Take 2 rounds of -winning diamonds.
East will ruff the third lead of dia

club. Whatever East does after that
does not count He will lead a club.
South will ruff, pick up West’s last

West probably will refuse to wm
the first spade trick. Probably in
actual play he will win the second
round of spades with his Ace. East’s
best defense is to ruff a third round
of spades. In any avent. South
should go game. ,
