The Board endeavored to dispatch the dqjties of the office with as little dejay 'ad possible and wishes to ex press its appreciation to the te'achers, county superintendents, andl school folk in general for the patience ex ercised and support given in this work. Through the medium of the the Stde Board of Exaniners, a pro fitable and needed service can be ren der'ed the State. The teaching pro fession is one of the greate'st which should claim the at tent ion of our p~eople, and the teachers shouldl he classified so that the dleserv'ing may be encouraged to better service and those whr, are poorly prieparedl assist edl to better preparation.

Under his scheme, ny purchaser from a cotton ex hange could demand one-half of his urchase in any two of the ten legal CI rades, and the cotton exchange th ould deliver the remaining half in o ny two of the ten legal grades. d "Both sides to the transaction," aid Senator Dial, "have an even reak. Under the law as it is to- u lay, a cotton exchange has the power ( :o deliver a quantity of purchased b :otton in either one of the ten trades it desires.
