L lv Busby." Before r^ing to this statement, allow me t state that there are but two charteirt^fiting specifically to the educati*' interest of Leesville. One is tlcbarter of the Leesville Publ'l're? School, enacted by the Le^Lire February Oth, A. D. lbt niJd amended December "J 1st, A. LSSo. The other is the charter of I leesville English and Classical >tute. These are distinct aDd separpuurters, each having its own r<l of j Trustees, and no court in S( Carolina has ever blended the'0 t0* gether with L. F. Busby as)e^?l : principal, nor has any . been i ure rendered by any court tat away tne lawful powers of eitherof ; Trustees. To what charter he | refer as Laving been 4C.sf/'w?'/iw se- \ cured by the Dev. L. E. ly V" ' Certainly not the charter the Leesville English and Classicostitute, for that was secured ober T.'th, 1SS1. If we turn to tbpot- 1 less record of the past, we fithat the Lev. L. E. Busby testifieuder oath that he was "no way a jy to the proceedings" which secur that I c iarter. See Brief, page paragraph (1. | Clearlv. then, he Wfl5 enonrr nf i . / I V,the charter of the free publiechool. ; I have given abundant evidce to ( show that the Ilev. L. E. Buv did J not "stilw'iiirnfhj" nor at another ; time, secure that charter, have, drawn this evidence from "theotless V; record of the unchangeabnast." A9 to the six facts (?) wbicD. B. Busby submits to the citizens Lexington county, with do view n his part that they should "withol their sympathy" from me, I will bri.y notice : 1. "Rev. Mr. Busby and his -nncil i'tiered to refund all that the dsatislied parties had contributed to-.rds the school building.'' This is .lse. Ho adds : "Mr. West's patty rused :o accept the oiler and forcl the ;uit.*' This is also false. '2. ' If right that John Doe sould )e deprived not only of his builcrg, grounds and private property, 1 ;>o n his good name, the ewel of his soul, whv \?tcng ^A /olor 3ho iL ' "r wilt eay that I f that John i/o ^*g logt } name.

Reply : The 13.3 elected a new teacher and put hint the public school-house which &t< on the Lutheran church ground a did not expel Mr. Busby fro a ] own or any other house. John D; having lost his good name, his up rior building, was no induceien The manner iu which he dealt wit Beter Roe, afforded no gnaranteitb? the public interest would be sse i his superior building. A wise Site; man has said, "we have no wc. < judging the future but by the pot.' -I. ' Rev. Mr. Busby and his cone are still willing to render to rer man his due, and therefore bolcth contested house and furnitar* o their full equivalent, notwithstariinj the decision of the courts at theirv ice of the public." Reply : T>ei this is done it will be a fact, but uti then it remains false. "I cannot see why the ci^s, of Leximrt^ - 'J be ilc* .. i i.r;tT^peDse Joun Doe for the'cis of school property not his accoing to the decision of the courts. Tim people are depressed llnancialiand .vhonld not be forced to conti ibu for the gr::\'ncaticn of partisan bred and the promotion of the privat \ltero-t of a few." Reply : Rra:icatiug is so natural with D. B. Bby that lore be squarely contracts ubai lie has been repeatedly assa ug as a j-ict, "vs.. : That the rnnrtclmd decide d tbut tbe school property was John Doe's. I suppose that iirty John will adhere to the claim that the ptoperty his, uud that the people "should he forced to coutr.bute to ihe ?ratilicatioQ of" h>.< partisan uitieJ. ami the promotion of hh pr? rate interest, notwithstanding the inancia! depression of the peop e. f?.
