Lee Thomas Gets $508 Salary Increase County Superintendent of Schools To Receive $2,308 in New State Schedule H. Lee Thomas, Moore county’s superintendent of schools will receive an annual salary during the next two years of $2,308.00, as compared with $1,800.00 last year, an increase of $508.00 or 28.2 percent over the past year, on the basis set up last week by the State School Commission. The base salary on enrollment is $2,- 280.00, with the allowance of $28. for teachers in city units in the county, $1 for each teacher. This is an aggregate increase of 20 percent in .salaries of superintend ents but the increase varies from 4 percent for Cabarrus, due to remov ing from the county system and mak ing a city unit of Kannapolis, to 45.3 percent for Halifax, due to the three city units in the county. Those are abnormal, most of the increases ranging from 15 to 25 percent. Salaries paid by the State range from $1,600 paid in counties enrolling up to 2,500 pupils, to $3,200 for coun ties with more than 14,500 pupils en rolled, and with more than $200 teachers in city units within the coun- ‘Old Uncle Troy’ jes* Wan' Tend de Hosses fo’ OV Morse’s Chariot Former Slave Reckons He’s Gwine To Heaven All Rig:ht Hut “Do’ Wan’ No Wings.’’ By Mrs. ,1. M. Guthrie In all the Sandhills of North Car olina there is scarcely a better belov ed old darky than “Old Uncle Troy.” Typical of the fast vanishing race of ex-slaves, he still loves to linger in his mind on the days of his boyhood, when at the age of ten he and his mammy were left to take care of “01 Missis," while 01 Marse went away to “de Wah.” Tales he tells of how he and his mother—Rosanna—did the plowing: of how the Yankees came "wif big, ole wagons wif four mules hitched to ’em and hauled off all the meat and two cribs of corn and the chickens and sich—all but ole Biddy whut flew off into de swamp, so she couldn’t be cotch.” (Here a big laugh comes). Then there is the tale of the “ho.sses” being hidden out in the swamp, and how this little black boy made nightly pilgrimages there to feed them; of going to Old Bethes- da church and squatting in the aisle by Misses’ bench to hold a warm brick to the baby's feet during the ties. The increase from the base of | ^^^^Sthy services. $1.600 is $20 for counties with 2,500 | The favorite tale is oi the time to 3.000 pupils and $60 is added for jwhen Marse came home one night and each 500 pupils, up to $3,000.

T)ie schedule for teachers’ salaries has not been worked out by the com mission, but it is stated that the ap- ' propriation of $20,030,000 the first year is not sufficient to make a flat 20 percent increase, in addition to the amount of increase allowed by higher grade certificates. The result will be disappointment in many individual cases, in which the full 20 percent in crease is not given. The schedule is expected to be completed next week. West End last Saturday.
