Mr. Cooper Replies to "Patron".
Editor Uountv Record:
In reply to '-Patron" as lo the inability
of himself and others, not
beinj; able to^et the adopteJ text
books as rapidly as they think
they should have, I bejj to say that
until I was elected Supt. of Edu-i
cation then* were no books keptj
in Supt. of Education's office. J
note on pasre 13. sec. 11 of school
law that the Slate Board of Education
are empowered to require
ihe publishers to establish in each
county one or more depositories
of their books within the State at
such place, or places as the Slate
Board may designate, and where
such books may obtained without
delay. .Now, have such depositories
been established in Williamsburg?
Will patron answer?
It so, who established them and
; where? I note on pages 37 and
13$, sec, VII, ot the' school law,
commencing at line fen on page
3$, that the county Supt. of Education
in every county in the State
is required to keep his office open
each day of the week, prior to the
time appointed for theschoolt; to
open in his county, and lor at
least one day in each week du ring
the remainder of the school tei:m,
for the convenience of those wishing
to purchase books.
Now, friend Patron, I do not
mean to be egotitical, but conscientiously
I feel that I have
taithlully discharged my duty all
olftiin fliic lino unit I lipllMY't* fl
C4 1W VIII kJ ilUVf idivi A w j
handsome majority of lhe intelligent
and fair-thinking people ol
the county, who have occasion to
visit my office will agree that. I
have faithfully performed ray duties,
as Supt of Education. Now,
kind Patron, for the ventilation
of my thoughts, and your gratification
allow me to say that in addition
to my individual labor, in
the book matter, 1 have at all
limes iiad help, tor which 1 am at
a personal pecuniary loss, ami it
you are anything of a philanthropist,
and will call at iny ollice, 1
will take much pleasure in giving
you any further information ami !

friend of you if possible, and we
will live as brothers fbthe future, if
iny wish prevails. In conclusion
I beg to inform Patron that the
text books are furnished from several
distinct business houses,
these houses are located in Richmond,
Va., Philadelphia, Pa.,
Boston, Mass., New York and so
on, and thai it takes from 5 to 17
days lor books to reach Here, if
not delayed 111 transit. I have a
bill for books ordered on October
7th that have not yet arrived, and
are now bein^: traced up. Adieu
lor the present.
Very truly,

John Wilson Esq., was in town
from Salt in a short while Monday.
Mr S J Hasque has returned
from .a visit to the Johnsouville
neighborhood. He reports a very
pleasant I rip, and in relating the
delights makes special mention of
fishes he pulled out of Lynchs
river. lie had splendid luck but
he did wrong to tell us abont it.
Our peace of mind was seriously
disturbed and it will require several
days to wear off the desire,
the longing to go and do likewise.
Head cracking has had the right
of wav here for several days. One
night the early part of the week!
Jack Williams splintered Brewster
Dick's skull with a piece of
board. Both parties are colored.
It will appear incredible but the
doctors declare it a solemn fact
that Dick's skull was broken and
several small pieces of bone were
taken out in operating. With
good attention lie may recover, j
Several stories as to who brought |
on the diflieulty are current. On;
Saturday night a white man struck
the same Jack Williams on the
head with a whiskey bottle cutting
a good size gash but tailing to
break the bone. No arrests what
ever have been made. This
sort of things does not improve the
reputation of the town, and does
not raise it in the estimation ol
right thinking people.
S W G Shipp Esq.. and Miss
Lizzie Gasque were married here
on theGih instant. The marriage
was quite a surprise to our people.
The bride who is a daughter ol;
Rev 8 S Gasque ofLiieston, N. C.,
was on her way to visit her sister
Mrs J M Sturgeon?at least that
was what those not in the secret
knew ot her intentions. Mr Shipp
joined her in Florence. The train
was late and did not reach here
until near 1 o'clock on Thursday
\
.
niiiht. liev J E Rushton was
summoned and in the parlor of
the Sturgeon Hotel the two were
made one. Mr Shipp is one ol
the leadinn attorneys of the Flor
ence bar. In addition *o his
ability as a lawyer he is a wholesouled
gentleman and staunch
friend. The bride is a winsome,
bright and womanly woman. May
their united lives flow as gently
,1s the waters where the rivers
meet, and run between lily bani-s
and amid beds of hyacinth finally
into the calm ocean of the
final mystery. The heartiest
wishes that deep interest may feel
are lor their happiness.
The "Rally Day" exercises ol
trie Methodist Sunday school on
last Sunday was a success. The
audience WhS a good one. The
church was beautifully decorated
with mosses, evergreens and a
prolusion of sweet and handsome
flowers, prominently among ihem
those queens of the autumn, chr\- ^
santhemums. The organ musicj
was furnished by Miss Ida Uodg-i
ers who is always among the loremost
in every good work. An:
address, which was interesting
and replete with information, was!
delivered by Rev Rushton. 1 he
pasior. The exercises were concluded
bv Supt J J Morris. There
were sonps and recitations by
some of I he little folks. These
were well rendered and creditable.
We can not call attention to every
number ol the propram for lack
of space and we will not make
special mention ot one or two lorj
