Frank Brown,, Wilber- force University, is in for., a house- dearting. The normal And industrial department is operated under a board of nine members, five appointed by .the stateand four . by . the A, M. E, church. The business management is - under fire and because certain em­ ployees testified at the investigation before Brown, haye been discharged by the board, The state board of control still has $1,000,000 that it refuses to turn over to the board under the-preaeiit. man­ agements The board has demanded that certain employees be reinstated but the contest .continues^- As- it is there are no funds now"to pay other employees who are not even involved in the scrap. This has been the means of tightening the lines about Wilber- force fronx what we could Ieambn a trip there Tuesday. One thing is certain the board of control baa more support among the .leading citizens than has the board of trustees. ■ Some of the older citizens who.have taken much pride in the institution say that the politicians are bringing ruin and disgrace to",the school It it plain that things have not been1rigid ■ from reports one can hear. For a time many fe&red to' speak' of ‘tilt trouble fearing they too might £&oui of a job. With no pay in' sight now it is not much trouble to get an angle on the situation. ,R, C» Bundy, superintendent, is the Center o f ’fire from-the report of the state examiner. • Serious charges are made in that feporfc and it.looks like employees .were fired because they ■told the truth when called upon by a representative.of the state bureau of accounting. Theodore Garter, exec­ utive clerk Was evidently in the way as the business’wSs transacted sad the board fired him even, though a uavil service employeeiSEhe board to make his discharge certain tried’ to abolish, fhfe job andi give the sanm.pos- ja hand, and make thing* lively for the Wilberforce postmaster. Added to fthis it is certain that events about j the institution would leave Hickman in a rather tight place with’ all the 1contending forces, in the fight. T, Cj Garter, executive clerk, G, G. Dennis, printing instructor, W. T. Hughes, commercial Taw instructor, and)j. D. Newsome, engineer, made aVappeal Wednesday before the state rd of control for re-instatement, Hr. J. L. Johnson, Cojumbus, a D oih ahey appointee, is said to be more or less boss of the board, At the hear- ng he denied most everything but admitted, some things said' to em­ ployees about testifying and losing; their jobs was only a joke. ■. The examiner has gone into letting )f contracts and purchasing of sup­ plies »nd from what Representative R. D, Williamson, a member ofjho board of control, says, things are not mly bad, but simply rotten. ‘ - Miss Hallie Q. Brown, former in-' stractor of elocution, one of the most prominent women of her race, rioted is a public speaker from coast to mast, testified hefore the board o f .’onttol Wednesday aud in plain spok­ en language told of how the politi­ cians were wrecking fhe’schbol.' She said: “Politics is gradually creeping in. while education is ’being, force! out,*' Miss Brown's statement will no doubt carry great weight. She, is one of the many older citizens of Wir fcerforce that sees their beloved in­ stitution being wrecked; Mew Greene County fairground Grandstand The new modern grandstand at -he Greeng Court y Fairground nwfil b< dedicated when the eighty-eighth apnua air opens August 2. and continues until ‘the fit inclusive, Ihe new structure will seat about 1,6(50 per- S°ns and ismodern m every respect.

Carter • testified as to business relations and was also able to show a, dean set o f books as far as he was concerned. He was commended by the examined for his faithful work. ■ Carter's job waa necessary to con­ tinue business as the bowd had been doing, ■Plans were set to name Ran- . dall Hickman, Wilberforce postmast­ er for the job. at a salary of $3,600, an increase of $1,200 over what had been‘paid Carter." Senator Marshall was pushing the gome to land Hick­ man but the board of control has re­ fused to recognize Marshall’s man. The board has asked for Carl Jenkins Colttmibus, as financial officer, but tim Wilberforce board refuses to elect’ him/ The board played possum and offered. the*fob to Charles Points, but he refused to have it. Meantime the contest continues with Marshall in the background for Hickman and the state board holding for Jenkins, or Wilberforce does not get the $1,000, 000.

State FinancesNot So Bad; Report A news dispatch eminating from the. office of Clarence J.

The,new corporation franchise tax law alone is bringing in a great deal more revenue than was anticipa­ ted, it being thought that this meas­ ure alone will ‘boost Ohio’s revenues by at least four million dollars. The gas collections are also running ex­ ceedingly ahead and the state's deficit will be a thing of the poet within a few months. * Forty years ago this month wheat was 'fS.QO, corn 6fit, oatsj 4fic.'

Congressman Charles Brand, who took issue with the president was in attendance at the Minneapolis meet­ ing / Big Flocks MayGraze OhioHillsides Big flocks of sheep may be raised in the hills of Southern Ohio, if the plans of certain Western sheep raisers work out. The Tribune-Telegraph,- Of Pomeroy is authority for, the state­ ment that a big company is planning to start a Tanch in Meigs county where from 20,000 to 15,600 -sheep can be herded, It is said that Western grating lands are being used for other purposes than for stock raising, Ohio, has some hilly eolmtry in the southern and the southeastern part, that is of little value to agriculture but might be us­ ed for raising sheep.

The saloonkeeper ohee -took control of state powers to over-ride the will of the public and the result is now but a matter of history. The utility com­ panies have resorted to the same tricks and are riding to an unknown destination. A tip to the public is: “Do not in­ vest in public utility securities.
