Raleigh, Jan. 3- —Distress in three I county boards of education may furnish Governor Morrison his emergency which will justify hi* calling the legislature into special session. Representative Grady of Dare, brings a message from his people who are em barrassed by the shortage between the fpe expense of running the schools. The equalizing filial is far shy of the necessary amount. The com missioners seem unable to fund the amount which the legislature turned back on wholesale to the counties. Thee send out distress calls and ask other counties to join them. The school appeal would probably move a council of state not yet certain that freight rates can be called an emergency measure. Mr. Grady’s is only one of many. Substantially all the counties which share the equalizing fund are iu a hole about it. Governor Morrison is believed to be favorable to a called session but lie must have a worthy excuse for bringing the body together, the Virginia suit is help ing. He would have his best chauee to put over boats and terminals, and the school needs would be the universal prayer.
