H'a.hlngton. Nor. *.—While It waa elated Mmt-ofllcIMIy At the white houie after the visit of & H. Gary and Hen ry C. Frick to the president yesterday that the financial situation was dis cussed at the conference. It develops that In all probability the piost Im portant qiitatfon considered was wheth er Ihe absorption of the Tennessee Coal and iron Company by the Steel COr- poratlnn would be recorded by the ad ministration as an open violation of the Shertnan anti-trust law. Messrs, a ary and Frick. It Is believed, sought to draw from the president an assurance that he would not Invoke that (aw In the present Instance. While no authoritative statement was vouch safed by the president or any of the officials at the executive offices, there Is reason to believe that the pjesldent declines to commit himself positively, but at the same time the Steel Cor poration officials felt that In so far ae the absorption of the Tennessee com pany would ease the money situation It Would not evoke eny hostile act on tbs part of the administration. There la a dose connection between the affalra of the Trust Company of America, which successfully withstood a week’s run by Its depositors, and the Tennessee coat and Iron Company on the one hand and the t’nlted States Steel Corporation on the other.

MANY HoTrSES ENTERED AT SPARTANBURG SHOW. kpeclsl to The Georgian. Spartanburg. S. C, Nov. 6.—The Spartanburg hors# abow and race meet rd this morning at the fair grounds tltlon of Ihe teachers ns to the special normal course, and after hearing from Superintendent Slaton Ihe hoard of education has reached the following conclusion: ”1. That Superintendent Slaton hab made, and Is making, through the normal school, u disinterested, Intelll gent, earnest and faithful effort tc make a much needed advance In the scholarship of our teachers. ”2. That this special normal Is a new departure In our schools, absolutely necessary In keeping pace with the rapid advance of conditions throughout the entire country. "3. That we have Implicit confidence In the ability and the earnest desire of the superintendent to make, without pride of opinion, any and all needed corrections. "4. That we submit to him for such action as his wisdom and xvul may "5. That we have confidence In the loyalty and seal of our principal and that we believe that they, knowing our present condition, will faithfully co operate In the effort to advance the culture and scholarship of our teach ers. "3. That a copy of this resolution be furnlsUsd the teachers through their committee." Expected This Action. According to a statement made by Mrs. Whiteside, chairman of the com mittee nnd president of the Teachers’ Association, the action of tha board was not unexpected. In speaking of the resolution, Mrs. Whiteside said: "We were not surprised at the action of the board: In fact, we rather ex pected It." When asked what action the teach ers would probably take In regard to the matter Mrs. Whiteside said: •For tile present Ihe teachers will take no action. Just what they will do later on 1 can not say. We ars go ing to real on our oars for awhile and see what action Superintendent Sla ton will take. The petition lias been referred to him by the board and we are of the opinion that he will take some notion to give the relief for which we asked In our petition. "We do not know what suggestions. If any, the hoard may have made to the superintendent In regard to lessen ing the work required In the normal hisses. If no changes ute made, then re will know that no suggestions were made by the board.” Mrs. Whiteside bus not yet had un opportunity to show the resolutions to the other members of her committee so she could give no official Statement as coming from that body. Ttachsrs All Oppossd. The teachers are all opposed to the present arrangement." continued she, ’’and. the protest would never have* been made unless n*e conscientiously believed'that the conditions should be changed. "The teachers object to the extra hour of normal work, especially with out Intermission, and they also ob ject to being taught In some of the classes by teachers In their own grades. They object further to being LHimpelted to take courses 111 branches of study which they completed when they were In school and In which they are already thoroughly proficient." Although Mrs. Whiteside Would muke no direct statement In regard to the proposition It Is very probable that the action of the board has not dls- posed of the question and that still further aettou Will be taken by the teachers of the association.
