OF SCHOOLS At the meeting of the School Directors of Sullivan County held in the Court House on Tuesday of this week, J. E. Reese Killgore was re-elected to serve as County Superintendent for the ensuing three years, carrying the election by a vote of 47 while his opponent, Prof. J. R. Molyneux received 22. The meeting was called to order by Superintendent Killgore and nominations for Chairman called for. The names of S. J. Fox of Eagles Mere and J. \V. Rogers of Forksville were placed in nomi nation ; as this was the first oppor tunity for those outside of the workers for the two announced candidates to get an insight as to the strength of the candidates, much interest in the contest was felt. Forksville Borough was known to be solid against Killgore so that S. J. Fox had to be the Killgore man for chairman. A rising vote was taken which result ed in the election of Mr. Fox by a majority of IS. The anxiety of the followers of Killgore was at an end the vote showing beyond all possibility of doubt that they had a majority of all the directors of the county, and that no matter how many were absent it could not effect the result. Morgan Gavitt of Laporto Town ship and F. 11. Ingham of Laporte Borough were elected Secretaries. Then followed the calling of the roll showing the following directors not in attendance: Brady Bennet and S. Burkholder of Eagles Mere, William More, Harry A. Hess and Eugene Avery of Elkland; J. E. Bleiler, Mike Broscliart of Forks; Z. T. Kilmer, Fox; George Karge, Laporte Township. A motion was made and eaji-ied. fixing the salary at 81500 per an num. Next in order being the election of a suitable person for the office of County Superintendent of Pub lic Schools, J. 11. Donovan of Cherry nominated J. E. Reese Killgore of Dushore, seconed by J. W. Frey of Fox, and others. C. A. Starr nominated Prof. J. Rob ert Molyneux of Hillsgrove second ed by Irvtn Dewalt of Laporte. Nominations were then closed. Chairman Fox then stated that the roll would be called and each person whose name was called should rise and state which candi date he wished to vote for. Cher ry first called gave Killgore the entire delegation. Colley did the same. Davidson gave the votes of Gust Olson and W. E. Gritman to Killgore and those of Harry Armes, George Robbins, C. A. Starr and G. W. Myers to Molyneux. Du shore gave Killgore a solid vote. All present from Eagles Mere voted for Killgore adding four more to his column. Elkland gave her three votes to Molyneux bringing her total to 7. In Forks, Yaw voted for Killgore and Bald, Keen ey and Litzelman for Molyneux. Forksville gave her six votes to Molyneux. Forks gave all votes present to Killgore excepting that of R. Duff which counted for Moly neux. Hillsgrove divided even, Galough, Birdsall and Harrison voting for Killgore and the other three for Molyneux. Laporte Borough gave Killgore its com plete vote while the township gave Killgore four and Molyneux one. Shrewsberry gave Killgore five. Geo. Rine voting for the latter candidate.

' Notice At a mooting of the Directors of Mountain Ash Cemetery Associ ation held last Monday, it was de cided to make many improvements on the cemetery grounds and have the same placed in Pine condition he fore the close of the month. The old fence is to ho entirely removed and the hedge given the proper at tention. Much grading and seeding is to be done on vacant lots and the entrance is to he made attractive and convenient. In view of those general improve ments, all lot owenors are urgently requested to grade and seed their lots, if this lias not already been done.

Auto Tax Bill Defeated. There will be no increase in the tax on automobiles for the present, as the bill proposed by Senator Me- Nichols of Philadelphia, and tiio one by Representative Caldwell have been defeated in the house and senate and it is assured that a similar fate awaits the Howard bill, the only other one asking for increased taxation on machines. The automobilists throughout the state were up in arms against the bills, as the fee at the present time, $lO and $15 —is as high as that of any of the other states, and they did not see why an in crease should be made, as the reso lution as presented did not even provide for any of the money l>e ing placed to fix roads—Towanda Review.
