Precedent was tossed aside Thursday as the State Board of Education settled the county chool board squabble between Senator Arthur Williamson and Representative Edward L. Wil liamson by ousting six of the jld board members. Named to the Board were A. P. Rogers of Tabor City, Dr. /ates of Chadbourn, Willard small of Fair Bluff, Ε. M. Grif fin of Evergreen, Marshall White of Acme, J. B. Lattay of Lake Waccamaw-Bolton, and (rvin Richardson of Nakina. Richardson was the only hold over from the old Board. New tppointees were recommended ■y Rep. Edward Williamson. Ousted were Dr. Ross WH iamson of Tabor City, brother >f Senator Arthur Williamson: Cad Stephens of Clarendon, W. L. Hobbs, of Delco, Page Benton jf Evergreen, and J. T. Wooten. Jr. of Chadbourn. Action by State Board of Ed ucation favored the views of a citizens committee rather than the usual procedure in whicii recommendation of the Demo cratic Executive Committer of Columbus County would have been followed. The recommend ation from the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee called for th.' reappointment of the old board. However, it u as nnin»o^ *%··♦ ι that the petition from the Exe cutive Coinn.ittee li&d been ob tained without benefit of a I •■.toting i f the gioup. Memoers .said that the petition signatures r.ither than as a group recom mendation. L. R. Wayne of I Lake Waccamaw, county execu • tive Committee chairman, told ithe State Board that a meeting had not been held. Too, the cit— izens group contended that sign iere of the petition were in many ; instances blood relatives of those serving on the county !board oi education. > 1 It was a political victory for Κι μη sentative Edward L. Wil liamson in that he sanctioned ty m tue <5 *veral sei.>.-ly usting the oid Board and ap pointment of a new group. His efforts in the General Assembly were fruitless. Senator William son noted that Representative Ailliamson had not conferred with Jiim about the changes and each solon took turns killing bills introduced by the other. The squabble received wide spread publicity in the state, j Appearing at the meeting in Raleigh were R O. Jones and Dick Williamson (brother of Rep. Ed Williamson) of Chad bourn. Dr. W. D. Vreeland of Chadbourn. Carl Mearcs of Fair Bluft. Ervin Enzor of Fair Bluff, Luther Mcares of Whiteville. Dr. Yates of Chadbourn, Kenny Jordan of Tabor City. W. A. Thompson of Lake Waccamaw. C. H. Pinner of Tabor City, Ed [Wright. Robert McCormick and 1 Willard Wright, all of Tabor City. Elect Rogers County School Board Chairman Members of the Columbus Co mty Board of Education were iworn in Monday and immedi itely settled down to the busi ness of organization. A P. Rogers of Tabor City w.'is elei ted by the group tc serve as chairman. The committee requested Τ Ward Guy, county superintend ent, to present a list at each meeting of the work being done in the county school system. This was construed to mean physical work opposed to in· structional. Guy noted that this would be difficult since main tenance force· often draw from the bulk supplies. The board will meet at β p. m. the first Monday of eacb month.
