HIGH   SCHOOL
State's Atty. ToUlver was called to Flora last Friday to meet James H. Smith and Thos. Creighton, solicitors for the objectors to the Loiiisvllle Community High   School   District.
Messrs. Smith and Creighton, we understand, are bringing suit in some of the higher courts In quo warranto, asking by what authority the Louisville High School Board Is acting, and calling Into question thu legality of the district. *
The movement Is undoubtedly the result ot a recent decision of the Su¬ preme Court wherein a high school district was dissolved becau/-,e of the inaccessibility of most ot Its parts to the proposed school. A suit of the nature contemplated by Messrs. Smith and Creighton must be brought by the State's Attorney ot the coun¬ ty In which such action lies, and ac¬ cordingly State's Atty. ToUlver was requested by Smith and Creighton to sign the papers. This Mr. Tolliver refused to do, but amended his re¬ fusal by saying he would do so If af¬ ter examination he found It his duty to do so. He also Informed Messrs. Smith and Creighton that he would reserve the right In that case to ask questions and remain a party to the suit.
- No further action has been taken. —Louisville   Republican.
