ft CARD FROM SUPT. J. 8. COLLEY.
DUTIES OF THE OFFICE-OUR RURAL
SCHOOLS ARE FLOURISHING.
Editors Keowee Courier : I noticed
an article in your last issue under
tho caption "Tho Lady or tho Tiger."
In the beginning Qod croated the
heavens and the eartb, and God said,
Let us make man in our image, after
our likeness, and lot him havo do
minion over tho fish of the sea, and
over the fowls of tho air, and over
the cattle, and ovor all the earth aud
over every creeping thing that croop
oth upon the earth. This was done
on the sixth day. Therefore God
was six days completing his work,
and yet there is nothing impossible
with God. Man is the leading fac
tor in tbe human race, becauso God
said so. Tb on God took a rib of
man, a very crooked part of man,
and made woman, and man has been
crooked ever since.
Tho County Superintendent, if
not tbree persons in one, holds a
position that demauds the perform
ance of three distinot sets of duties.
He is also secretary and treasurer of
the county school board, '/''bis board
has charge of all educational matters
affecting tho county. He roceives
all school moneys and disburses all
money used in tho maintenance of
tho schools, has charge of the distri
bution of free books and performs
many othor luties which aro at
tached to this many-sided position,
but do not strictly bolong to a county
superintendent.
During the present year I bave
called for two meetings of tho teach
ers' association. Owing to inclem
ency of the woathor it was almost
impossible for tbe teachers to meet.
I have now arranged for a meeting
of tbe association during tho session
of tbe summer school-this month.
From tho time tho General As
sembly made provision for the estab
lishment of school libraries in this
county up to tbe time I took cbarge
of tins olllce, tbere were eight libra
ries in Oconee. During my term
(seventeen months) ten libraries
have been established.
Within the last few years the peo
p'e have dotted this county with
modern school buildings, and these
have been fitted up with up-to-date
appliances and conveniences. They
sire making rapid strides towards
hotter educational advantages, and
have dono remarkably well, consid
ering their linances. It is an evident
fact that tho schools of this county
aro on a higher curriculum than has
ever been known. This does not
need any explanation. All fair
minded people know that this is
Imo. Is thin standing still? No!
Every effort is hoing put forth to
build ap the schools and improve
environments, HO far as our limited
means will allow.
The correspondent ?aid tho ideal
county superintendent teaches the
children to love history and honor
thc deeds of great men, and keep
company with learned men. Before
she finished the article she made the
assertion that she had boon informed
by oertain partios that the citizens
of Oconee would bo surprised to
know how many men there were in
the county who could not write their
names. Now, if her statement bo
true, people who can write their
names are HO lew and scattered that
it would be next to impossible for
thc county superintendent to educate
thc children to keep company with
learned men! Wouldn't it? She
aays that she has been over Oconee,
but did not say that she had found
HO many illiterate men.
If she is such a great and import
ant factor in upbuilding tho rural
schools of this or any other county,
please show me the results she has
accomplished since Hbo has been in
this work. So far I have stretched
my arms to uphold her in this work

Hall's Family Pills aro tho host.
where I waa able to see that good
might be accomplished.
She says that one superintendent
said ho did not want the teachers to
go to Clemson to tho summer school.
On the 10th day of March, 1905, I
received a letter from State Superin
tendent Martiu to meet him at Clem
son College on the 14th of that
month to arrange for the summer
Behool. Ile also wrote to Superin
tendents Davis of Greenville, Hal
ium of Piokens, and Nioholson of
Anderson. The superintendents of
these four counties unanimously
agreed to oombine with the State
summer school-have no summer
schools in either of these counties.
I do not know what superintendent
mado the assertion. For my part I
defy it, and demand proof of same.
I have never made any such asser
tion. Not a teacher in Oconee will
say that I have had any such con
versation with them.
Then she says Richland, Floronce
and Marion counties have ideal
county superintendents. She knows
nothing more about these superin
tendents than a last year's bird's nest.
"You know who you want. De
cide by your vote." In reply to this
I bog to say to the voters of Ooonee
that so long as they select me as
their humble servant in the office of
county superintondont, I will faith
fully discharge my duties as best I
can and to the best interests of the
people, and strictly oppose incapable
petticoat government in the office of
county superintendent. Nothing is
meant to be said against the female
teachers of the county, who are doing
faithful work in the rnral schools.
My plea is to urge every earnest
man and woman to uphold the teach
ers in their work that they may ac
complish their great mission. With a
steady adherence to our obligations
in tlicse matters, with a just sense of
our duty to the society of our sec
tion, let us march forward resolved
to give every boy and girl in our
county a square deal- a chance to
develop their God-given attributes
until they shall all stand forth strong
American citizens, and never bo
guilty of hitting at the wind, and
the result bo as chaff in a whirlwind.
Before criticising others, let us
learn to spell correctly and write
legibly.
I oppose a newspaper controversy,
but I wrote this article so that the
people of Oconee might be able to
know how I regard the work of the
office which they so willingly gave
me, and the half has not yet been
told. J. S. Colley.

IKE GENERALJHSSEMBLY OF IRE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AND WHAT THEY
DID IN SESSION AT GREENVILLE.
[The Baptist Courier.]
Our Presbyterian brethren had a
great time in Greenville last week in
their Qeneral Assembly. The two
matters of absorbing interest were ,
the "court" proceedings in oonneotion
with the ease of the Rev. William
Caldwell, and the matter of "Federa
tion," or "Closer Relations," affect
ing the several Presbyterian bodies
of the United States. The former
had been popularly styled the "Her
esy Trial," but in truth it was not a
trial for heresy at all. It was a re
view of the decision of thc Synod of
Texas upon the relations of Mr. Cald
well as a member of his Presbytery
and as pastor of the First ohuroh at
Fort Worth. After having been ex
amined with a view of being installed
as pastor of that church and having
been duly installed pastor, members
of the examining Presbytery filed
complaints against this fiction on ao
count of certain views said to have
been exprossed by Mr. Caldwell.
Tho complaint was heard by the Sy
nod and the decision of that body
was against the pastoral relations of
Mr. Caldwell and the Fort Worth
church and the Presbytery, where
upon the latter filed a complaint
against the Synod of Texas, and this
complaint the General Assembly con
sidered and sustained, and by that
aetion restored the pastoral relations
of Mr. Caldwell and the First church
of Fort Worth, dedaring that he is
and has be u a member of the Fort
Worth Presbytery and pastor of the
First ohuroh.
While the aotion of the General
Assembly is in favor of Mr. Caldwell,
it did not pass on the question of his
orthodoxy, but upon the constitu
tionality and legality <A the action of
the Texas Synod. Tho decision
means that if he is ever tried for
heresy tho action against him must
proceed in form different from tho
former proceedings. It was clearly
evident that many members of the
General Assembly were not anxiouB
to try Mr. Caldwell for heresy, and it
was also evident that they were
greatly relieved when tho Assembly
decided to pass only upon constitu
tional questions. The Fort Worth
church, and incidentally Mr. Cald
well, was ably and eloquently repre
sented by Rev. Dr. William Ilayne
I.cavell, of Houston, Texas. Dr.
Leavell was born and reared in New
berry, and he is not a stranger in
Greenville, and he was heard with a
great deal of pleasure. Many con
sidered his address the most interest
ing and eloquent delivered during the
meeting of the Assemt'
Many members of tb 'eneral As
sembly were in favor O? the report
which recommended closer relations
with other Presbyterian bodies in the
United States, but tho conservative
element won, and the matter is re
ferred to tho Presbyteries for consid
eration and action. Dr. Charles R.
Heraphill, president of the Pres
byterian Theological Seminary in
Louisville, and a native of Chester,
ably led thc movement favoring
closer relations. It was very evident
that there was a large number op
posed to anything which looked in
the dircotion of their brethren in tho
Northern States. It was not a ques
tion of union, bu* simply of entering
into a conferono- or council, with tho
representatives oi I other Presbyte
rian bodies, and of formulating cer
tain articles of agreement as to meth
ods of work and territorial limita
tions, connected with their educa
tional and missionary operations.
The majority were not ready for any
advance in this direction.
With all their conservatism, their
legislation, their courts, their fixed
rules of disciplino and church gov
ernment, their unchangeable confes
sion of faith and standards, tho Pres
byterians stand for great pnnoiples
and fundamentals that help and bless
the world, such as religion in tho
home, Sabbath day observance, and
the evangelization of the world, and
upon these and to this extent the
Christian world can afford to agree
and work in unison. Tho missionary
and educational moetings held at
night were largoly attonded and
groatly enjoyed, and tho peoplo of
Greenville will be glad to soo this
large body of Christian gentlemen
meet in their midst again.

Southern Presbyterians last wook

the support, and the endowment of
schools. The new department is lo
cated at Atlanta, and Rev. Oeo. H
Cornelson, of Concord, N. C., was
elected general secretary, with a sal
ary of two thousand dollars. The
Assembly recognized in this emphatic
way the necessity of enlargement in
the work of Christian eduoation.
