FAQB TWO SUPT. BUILOGK REPLIES TO MR. WATTS Air. O. M. Watts has often written letters concerning Doe Pond School District No. 65 lor publication. Several months ago I thoroughly explained the Doc Pond situation in til Horry Herald but still Mr. Wa.is con tinues his article:, his late.:; be'ng on November twenty-seventh. Doe Pond district lias not bomi i 1 ex'stonce for over two years and JicrcTo c it is m . possible to app >int trustors since it s now a part of Johnson ccho d Di tiict, No. 58. It is not possible to divide Johnson District for ev il with the addition of Doc Pond. John: on now contains only 4 3 . qnaro miles. There are no records in the 'Court House shewing how Doe Pond was created as a district nor is there any record giving the boundaries e f the same. Jn 1915-1G Doe Pond District had no school, that year a cash balance of $67.42 was brought over from the preceding year, the school was credited with $27.GO from the threemill tax, the poll tax amounted to $7.00 and the dog tax to $3.00, a teta1 ~ r rr* i rvr /\o i ? i ? i_ ui .7>xuo.v/w, nis was cai i n u over into the year 1916-17. In 1916-17 they again had no school and the only source of income that year was $7.00 credited to the district from the pod tax. Since they had no school the two previous years they could get n ? three-mill tax noney and not a do ? was returned in the district. There were only 16 people in the district that returned taxes. Al! this happen cd before 1 came into office. The auditor's books for 1916-17 show that the district contained one square mile and 14 acres. The constitution of the state requires at least 9 square miles in every district. Many of the districts in the county are less than the minimum required by the constitution but as long as the people in these small districts are satisfied and are doing their best to have a school instead of allowing it to be discontinun ed for two years, I am the last man to bieak up those small schools unless it is agreeable with the people of these small districts. Of course I favor consolidations wherever they are practiacble. The only district touching the old Doc Pond District that contains more than 9 square miles is Bayboro and in 191(i-17 five-sixths of the district svas returned by cn .? corporation. At that time Johnso \ contained 3 square miles, Joiner contained 5.0 square miles, and Si lcy 7 square miles. Each of these districts now contains about one square mile more than it did then. Very soon after I became County Superintendent I asked an old frion ! cf mi~e who had moved from my community into the neighborhood of Doc Pond Schoo* v.hat kind of school they had. He answered ''Mighty nigh none." My investigation proved t : dl ho Wcl s right, i de not consider that ! broke up the rd ool, it had been dead two years an I I simply took part itl the funeral. The district was ( i -cntinued fcr the follow'ng ivaso:vu first, n ? school 'or two years; Second, only one square mile in the district; third, the only income for the second of the two years was $7.00 pol; tax. No complaint came to me for more than two years except from Mr. Watts, and ha has no children of school age. I thought surely if this arrangement had not been satisfactory some of the parents of the children would have consulted me about a school, especially as so many cf them went to school witn me when we were boys.

Process/* made in Nt 1," (jV laboratories. It is ? KiiaranU* Ui UU %' of the folks living in Mr. Watts' com jmunity told mo that the situation was really had, for some of the children ! had become of school ago and < t' crs had moved in and that it wr s really | too far for some of them to go to Johnson School. I immediately took this matter up with the trustees of ; Johnson School and got them to , agree for these folks to have a school in their part of the district. 1 then , notified these folks of this action and also spoke to Mr. N. M. Todd about teaching for them. But no house , could be secured for the school and ;>o they have had none. It seems that i Doe Pond has never owned a building ] and the school was always taught in a tenant house owned by Mr. O. M. t Watts, and that the furniture, * such -j as it was. was also owned by Mr. , Watts. The folks in the community j did recently petition the County < Board to appoint trustees because Mr. Watts would not lot them have , his building unless Doe Pond was j made a district and trustees appointed for the same. I explained to those who came to me that under the law it was impossible for the County i Board to appoint trustees but that whatever they did about securing a teacher and getting a house would be agreed to by the trustees of the dis- c ' o?x/l f f rnefnAO n rnvn nn. r ILl ell III lliat ^ Iitn 11 U.^ VVV, o n VIV/ Mp I poincd one would be appointed from Doe Pond School. ! The present situation is this; it is ) impossible for the County Board to ( appoint trustees; Mr. Watts will not ! allow the school to be taught in his house unless tinstees are appointed; and it seems that the people cannot secure any other house. The County than glad to establish a new district and appoint trustees for it if 9 c square miles can be secured for it J fold not reduce any district from which this territory is cut below the 'constitutional limit. The C unty , j Beard is not an enemy to the small . ! schools and \vc can give instances I where we have helped build u - seve;a! of them, (among the aumbe.' are 'Valley Fo'gc, Mill Swamp, Enter- t p". ise, and a. second school in Red Bluff District). The County Board c," Education still has 112 02 which w found here to the credit of D e Pond ' School two years ago which is t 11 j at the* disposal of Doe Pond School, j Under our plan the Doe Pond Scheoi I e 'uld run at least five months this i year and not reduce Johnson School a single day. I will leave it to the public to judge who is keeping the s.howl away from the children of Doe Pond School. Mr. Alford write:? in last week's par, that he finis 36 children of 1 .compulsory age in this community but ! am sure that many of these belong to Joiner District and that many others live close'enough to Johnson School to attend it. I have asked him to furnish me with a list of these children, giving the distance from their homos to the nearest school house. If I find Mr. A1 ford's inforI mation different from wjiat I have said, it is very likely that I shall have something more to say about ' this matter. All of the facts and figures contained in this article are taken fron official records found in the Couri House. If my statements are not correct it is because the records in the Court House are not correct. 1 hardly think anyone will question the correctness of the County Records. It is very seldom that newspaper con tioversies help to settle any diffi culty. I try to do my vyork outside cf the papers excecpt for articles of > ;;er.c:a! informatlon but T was forced to turn aside from my usual plan 1 procedure by the continued criticism I oi Mr. Watts.
