K?ln Makes Bome Lnliglit enlng Remarks us u> Ute of Trans? fer Wagons. Bditor Daily Item. Please allow me ipa< e through the columni of your paper t<> vindicate myself anil to explain some of acts relative to school matters In this dis? trict, referring to an article from your correspondent of May ?l. which reflects very grossly upon tome of the school trustees of this district. As you and your many readers are well aware of the fact that our State and county authorities have been urging upon the school trustees of the va? rious school districts the consolida? tion of schools and upon these sug- j gestloni the trustees of this district ( attempted and succeeded in building, on as near a central ground as could be had. a school biulding to be used as a graded school. With the privil Sge, and earnest request of the trus tees, that each and every school in ' the district patronise this school, ; either sending their advanced pupils by private conveyance or to abandon I ? i the local school and to be transferred to this central school. The first year a number of the patrons took advan? tage and sent their advanced pupils, some sending five miles ,and all were so delighted with the work of the school that the second year one of the schools, known as the Mellette school, decided to close and have its pupils transferred to the central school, the third year, whic h was the year just closed, the Red Oak school asked to be transferred, which was clone with great, success. Now. dear readers, let me make this point clear to your mind, this central graded school, as mentioned above, was established on the groundl of original Bethel school and. with the Mellette and Red < >ak school* with the Bethel, made three In one. Now, Mr. Bdltor, and dear readers, those three schools repre? sent at least ore-halt' of this district, both in number of pwptls and in tax Ible property, having two railroads, one in the northern, the other in central and western portions of dis? tricts, with the best Improved farms, which all pay their full share of tax? es. NOW*, to your correspondent at Tlndals, signed as "Header," and to his friends, who are blowing up the old coals, would that they would kindle the flame that would light them to a -sense of their duty as the people of the Bethel school have been. The Bethel school, Mr. "Reader," as you are 'w'ell aware was built with the public school funds for the en? tire district and not for any Individ? ual and it appears to me that any man with good common sense, and with a considerate view, would be able to see the matter and not be bringing such gross charges against the trustees for only doing their duty. ?? - i. ? if I am rightly informed, the au? thor of the article from Tindal, is a man that should be better up on the school movement, and he is fully aware of the plan that the Bethel school was established upon. And he knows full well that any white school In this district has the same right to com< Into the Bethel sc hool and en Joy the gieat tilings provided by the trustees there. A? to the transfer wagons, Mr. Header, he Is fully aware of the fi i l that any other school desiring to consolidate within them? selves, or with the Bethel school, will be pres ided for under the above plan, ami it seem? to me that any well read, good thinking man who desires to bring about a kindly ft < Iii g and good will among his fellow men could ami would have taken up this matter with ti '- trustees, or With someone capable of giving advice, without making such false statement* against trustees, and saying things so ni slead Ing to the public, I wish t<- say fur? ther to Mr. loader and bis chunk thrower* thai the transfer wagons are onl> run where the schools have con solldated and not for any special Com? munity nor will they ever he by my eniis< m. either while i am on the hoard ol trustees or at an> other time.

Large Crowd Attends Event end Spend Enjoyable livening at Baker School. - The hot supper Which was held at he Baker school near Ifayesvtlle j V. idnesday night was a most enjoy* alu affair and was attended by a i largv crowd of people from Mayesvllle, Sumter, OswegO and other placet from the surrounding country, who came in automobiles, buggies and by the wagon load, straw rides to the supper being one of the features en? joyed by the younger folk.-. Chicken stew, as good as any which has ever been made, was the chief delicacy of the evening. although there was a large assortment of other eatables, all of which were heartily 6 ijoyed by those present. Features of the evening were reci? tations by Miss Minnie Chandler of Mayesvllle and songs by the Sumter Y. M. C. A. quartette. In the voting contests for the most popular Udy and the second most popular lady, Miss Carrie Baker of Salem came first and won a beautiful cake, and Miss Minnie Kvans came second and was also the fortunate winm-r of H cake. The proceeds realised by the supper will be used in completing the second room of the Baker school, it being necessary to do this in order to ac? commodate the large audlencea which gather at that place to the Sunday school and Church services. As there wa re so many requests that the supper be repeated it was decided to have a second supper the latter part of July when the spring chicken and barbecued pig will be the chief delicacies on the ^menu.
