Special to The Herald. ATLANTA, Ga.—A whole board of county school commissioners has been fired bodily in Paulding county, where the grand jury investigated the board’s negligence and failure to comply with the provisions of a law that requires them to district the county into school districts. The law itself is mandatory on the school board as it is also on the grand jury aud the court. The grand jury’s in vestigations in Pauling county were transmitted to Judge Price Edwards, of the superior court, and on failure of the commissioners to show good reason why they had not complied with the law the court ordered that “they be discharged from said board and a vacancy be declared as to each of said members.” The commissioners who are thus summarily relieved from office are: W. A. Ragsdale, Bryant M. Williams, Jce B. Baggett. The term of office of James Grogan had expired, and H. N. Finch had resigned. The new board of education of Paulding county, named by the grand jury and to be commissioned immedi ately by the state commissioner of schools, is as follows: D. F. Wills, G. W. Guess, J. W. McGarrity and J. L. Daley. The law which causes the trouble was enacted in 1906 and amended in August 22, 1907. It requires that “Within thirty days from the passage of this act, or as soon thereafter as practicable,” the county school boards of Georgia shall lay off their counties into school districts. Failure to com ply with the requirements of that act shall be immediately inquired in to by the county grand jury concern ed, says the law; report shall be made to the superior court of the county; the rule nisi shall issue, call ing upon the commissioners individu ally to show reason why they have been negligent; and it their reason be not good and sufficient, the court shall dismiss them. So iar as is known, this Is the first instance in which the law’s rather peculiar severity lias been applied. Near-Beer Money. With $195,985.24 near-beer money on hand on Monday, April 5, it looks as though the state wili have even more near beer taxes in its treasury by the end of 1909 than was officially predicted by Comptroller General Wright. The comptroller, in his re port of which advance pMofs have just come from the press, says that collections amoutning to $175,000 may be reasonably expected in near-beer taxes during 1909. He recalls that $19,100 was collected during 1908. The amount on hand April 5 includes the $19,100 collected before January 1 as well as some $50,000 of 1908 money that came in after the first of the year. Approximately $125,000 is credited to 1909 on the near-beer books. Competent authority says that the collections belonging to 1909 will be hardly less than $175,000, in which event the w’hole near-beer fund would be more than $200,000 and very little less than the old $240,000 liquor reve nue of the state. Big Pardon Docket. Tuesday the prison board will start on a big pardon docket which may occupy it for the rest of the week. Next Monday, it is believed, the board will once more give its attention to the matter of purchasing a prison farm for the white convicts. Pharmacists’ Examination. Fifty-five applicants for pharma cist’s license were before the Georgia state board of pharmacy, Monday morning, in the hall of representa tives at the capitol. Written exam inations were held Monday, and the session will conclude Tuesday with practical demonstrations of pharm acy work, each applicant being re quired to make up three or four pre scriptions. It is stated that there is an unusual demand for competent pharmacists in Georgia. Three of the applicants Monday were colored men, and one was a young lady.
