B. Philbeck has had charge of the school, splendidly aseifcttd by Miss Bertie Downs of Cafcar, Miss Genebelle Harrill of Lawndale, Miss Essie Harpill of Boiling Springs, and Miss Frankle Dickson of Fallston. , , ; Or.

' Probably the most interesting ses sion of the commissioners was that held along toward the close of th day when a delegation headed by Mr. Thomas Sparrow appeared da ore the board in protest against C Lee Gowan, county agent Mr. Spar ow had a goodly , delegation ,, of farmers with him, principally from the 'Union, Pjsgah and Gastonia sections, When this crowd made as if to exclude all else fr6m the hearinff before the commissioners, Gowa:.' i backers from the Cherry ville section, who were in the city on another mis sion, let it be understood that they were to be heard from, too. Van Sellers, one of the war horses of Cherryville township was one of the leaders of the pro-Gowan sentiment- He declared that as a "free white and twenty-one" taxpayer of Gaston county, he was, not going to be excluded from any public hearing in the county's court house.
