Mr. Editor: Justice to the public ami more especially lo McCormiek taxpayers and school district demand further explanation nf tlie report made by the trustees J. I'. Robinson and T. J. Price, as copied in your issue of July 1.1th. The (special tax and the constitutional tux netted $.111! which, at the salaries paid to principal and assistant per month, would have run the school (i 7-S months, it will be seen that, the warrants to assistant ceased after live months although there remained Sill (warrants >'os. (i>7) o! constitutional tax. Tuition extra amounted to Sj-'!.2n. At end of five months Prof. Slaughter and trustees reported to Miss Mnynard that the funds were out and that they would have to depend on the tuition niter that, and thus prevailed upon her to suspend, but the dissatisfaction at the loss of the tciiciicr who had uiven entire satisfaction i*aused Slaughter to again prevail upon M iss Maynard to take charge of her classes, after being absent oue week, which she taught five weeks longer tor which he paid her out of the fio.co warrant No tiouly 510 IX). she received besides this Irom I lie children Hi it Ion lees J3.85, which was included in the extra tuition nbove. This shows liiat before t lie <; ? months were out the tuition fund was being collected, liui it is seen above that there was sufficient funds to have run the school witli lull salaries from school taxes alone during months, rtien why represent the funds exhausted. Report dues not say number ol pupils we're lew but that the funds were running low. It Is evident the school was not maintained with its best facilities of principal and assistant in order that the patrons and the public might receive the greatest benefit, but in eye was had to the salary of the principal lor the full term regardless of the welfare of :?thers. Report* statu that lie paid only fourteen dollars for assistant after the first live months, no warrant being drawn for any lint himself after that time. The enrollment was 10.'! pupils but no average attendance is ;iven. The report endeavors to show that the ivenure cost j>er capita by tlie month was 3Dly .'<7 cents. This is done by dividing the iimouut of school lunds by the enrollment lor I he whole nine months instead of by the iverago attendance for the time actually taught. The average for the first .'514 months Jtd not exceed ninety, three-fifths of whom were taught by Miss Maynard, next.'! months aot over forty-five, one-third taught by principal and two thirds by asslstaat, and not over thirty-live for the last months taught. It Is known that the nineth month was employpd utmost exclusively to prepare the children uid outsiders, too, lor the en term in inent. Report says entertainment, less expenses, yielded S05, which, excepting So, was paid on piano. The live was paid to principal as school fund. If any rent was charged for use of Academy Hall ?y the trustees thereof. >f course it was part of the expenses of entertainment.. Rut ihe report shows that a warrant was drawn ou special tax in favor of R. I. Roliinson as aire.nt lor C. li. McCormlck, iinounting to S2'{.C5. The people demand why give their school fund to U. H. McI'ormick, who Is ootli able and willing to pay Ills own taxes. Honest Investigation. McCormick, August 15, ISM. UNION CHRISTINA, IVrsonal Paragraphs. and Pleasant Talk. Uuion-Rradlej\ S. C.

Lieut Frank Parker, now stationed at Brownsville, Texas, has not allowed his arduous duties ashore to dim his enthusiasm for nautical sport. The following report from the Brownsville Herald shows that he Is still as expert a yachtsman as when a boy he navigated the waters of Waccamaw River or Winyah Bay: "The great event of the season at the Point so far was the yacht race which came off yesterday, and which had been the topic of much mnwprnatlon for some time cast In Brownsville as well ns at the Point. The ' general Interest felt was manifested by the large crowd of excursionists who went down < from Brownsville, who, in addition to the residents of Point Isabel, swelled the crowd ' which gatnereci on me wnan iu neverui uuudreds. The scene was most animated. Numbers of small boats with lntereseted spectators covered the bay near by, and the Rio Grande Company's steam lighter, Santiago, also accommodated a big crowd. A moderate wind was blowing, and the bay was comparatively calm, its light waves reflecting brightly the rays of the sun which beamed down from a cloudless sky. The two contesting yachts seemed pretty fairly matched though the Trilby is small and lighter than the Ripple. Partisans of the two were about equally divided, the colors ol each being seen on every hand. As the time of starting drew near enthusiasm waxed / warm, and friends of Capt. J. F. Cummlngs. the proprietor of the Hippie, were eagerly predicting bis success, while those of Lieut FrankParker, owner of the Trilby, were none the less sanguine. The two yachts did not pull oft at the same moment, the Ripple following , the Trllbv bv seven minutes. It was a close ' race. The Trilby, however, kept the start aDd gained about four minutes on her opponent before reaching Ihe buoy off Padre Island, , the turning point and held her way that far ahead nil the way back to ibe wharf, which she reached about eleven minutes before the 1 Ripple came up. The course covered six miles. "Total time of the Hippie 1 hour, 35 minutes 1 hour, 31 minutes and 10 seconds. Difference In time, 4 minutes and 4 seconds. Capt. E. J. Kenedy, who served as Judge, awarded tbe race to the Trilby. The enthusiasm of the victor's partisans was unbounded when tbe result became known, and warm congratulations were showered upon the,, trlumphaut young lieutenant. "Considerable money changed hands on the result, probably several hundred dollars being put in small bets. "One of tbe conditions of tbe race was thai each proprietor should sail bis own boat. The splendid seamanship exhibited by both was generally complimeuted." Brynu and Silver.
