First, I want to know what side of this uuestion Mr. Wells is on. Me that "Reader Is > reactionary uui dllfers from him" which can onty mann that he wants things to drift as '.hay af going, Mr, Wells says that is long bs the pntroni of the small school* contend f"- tin maintenance of these schools, so i ng, in my hum blc Judgment, will they retard tne progress that they might and lurely would attnln ware they to come in with us."' Which can only mean tilt I h favors tii*- Bethel school, or that he has a very poor opinion ol his judgment Certainly he can BOt ex poet others to accept bis opinions when he does not believe them him? self, which he prove* by saying that "the patron*- and Ha nds of the Ifnall Schools?are the* ones I am mostly interested in and set k most to aid." He sayi thai he favors building ?? i hot,i at Providence. N?w look ?t these Stuten ante, he wants thing* to as they are going, by saying thai i am "a reactionary," but h.- oppos is 'compulsory consolidation" which could be the only result of the pre si nt drift ol affairs, He Is 'interest? ed, mostly in the small schools," but thinks tii.it "they hinder progress," vet he advocates building another school at Providence, Tin s,- state? ments look to me like Mr. Wells is trying ride all the fences In sight at the same time, or wants to rule the w boh- district. Mr. Weira takes up for the trustees and say* thai he ha* bail some experience. The dlstrb t had some from him too, He hud s school house built without consulting the other two It stees ind fooled one of them to sign Ihe check and paid $90.00 for it. and When 'bis trustee found "tu lhal Mr. Wells had no title th. i uui he realgned rather than be run over by Mr. Wells, The ii ho,,i house went the way such things usually do ami tin- dlatrlcl got nottftng '"'t the experience, Mr, Wells says th it i am "a reactionary," or( in other words, that I am conser> i? tlvci and lhn1 he "dlffera" from me.

II Ihese statements ul Mr, Well* ore not con? tradictory, whit are they? Mr. We I In sayi thai he "did not want to aei into ihe controversy," What did he gel Into it for then?

I suppose the rea? son 1 t' th.s i> because he got all of these three that was due Privateer, Now these are strange statements. When Mr. Wells was a boy Privateer was surpassed by n<? place on earth, at present the people ure neither re? fined, prosperous 01 Intelligent, i i wonder how much of this awful state of afl drs Is due to him. He should at least have tried t?. prevent Its get ting Into this condition, or perhaps ha has deteriorated along with the rest. I have been unable to rind where all ol the people of Privateer have at any time in the past reached the highest standard of education with the accompanying polished manners, and accomplishments, There have always been some who possessed these I ut, to far as i i an learn, there are more In proportion who have these compllshments, at the pres? ent time than ever before In the his? tory ol Privateer, md while there are Instances of immorality, as there will be i nywhere, I can Und nothing t.. warrant th. Inference that the people of Privateer art-, as a whole, unrefined, At t-> th.' peoph of Pri? vateer being unprosperous ni present. Mr. Kolh did not think so. II?- said the\ had ' tit.' best Improved farms," which was not disputed, hut corrected t.. mean the whole of Privateer, and it would seem that were th.- people of Privateer so \.r und Improvl? dent, it would not lie In keeping with Mr. Wells" "deep Interest" for them f.. sa> that he WOUld Vote foi an c\ titi levy, and if the people are so grossiy Ignorant, it would seem that he m< ney spent on education should be spent t<> the host possible advan? tage to reach the entile p ipulutton and th. n. in spite ,.t* the fact thai the people of Privateer were oner so In? telligent Mr, Wells advises that "we sh.eihi not go to mill as our grand - tires did. they had no more sense than to put a bushel of corn In one . nd Of a sack and a rock in the ..tin r, Instead of dividing tin corn, That Is md much of a tribute to their ed? ucation, and does md at ail agree with N!r. Weils" other statement. He must have been trying to make fun or fo.ii somebody, unless he thought that anything ?hat he said had no right to i>e questioned or Investigated by anyone else. Mr. W. ll- says Ii I dtffer from him (Header) and poke > little tun ut him*' and thereby admits that he meant to puke fun at us, lor. m m. king fun of '..hat I said, he made fun ot those for whom I wus speak? ing, yel he says "l must plead that I am Innocent" of Mr. Osteen's charges; ami tgaln he gays "1 have u<> apology t.t niak. for m> piece, hut reiterate every word." How do these three statement- look together? He says ? l do not recognise him (Header) :is. the whole of the school district, or as voicing its sentiments." i did not say that I wa- the whop district or that i voiced 'he Kcntlments of every? body in It, Mr. Wells says "these little local reports and opinions?ate very imuslng hut very destructive to greal and good principles;" In oth.r wads Mr. Well- meant that those things thai were -aid and the people who .-aiii Ihcm were little things and very amusing and ihul he meant to poke fun at them, and lint he md in- special crowd are a gretii ami good principle, which must not he molested in mything they do. Mr. Wells in iv be the boss of ;i few peo? ple m Privateer, hut. il In- think.- thai I am ^oiiic in unk hiu: whether or not I may write an rtrtide for a newspa? per, he i-- in itch mistaken, and I think those who have been lulltienced by him ought tu Lain a lesson, for he has got I lo in all Into II le aS he alwtiys does everything that he has it hand In.

Put ? ?ii the trustees for id dealing fair bin ird th. oth. r schools and being extras igant, A few fa< is: The Providence school had n blackboard not latg. enough for one class, Miss Eunice Osteen had to buy ? black board and it was not enough, but the trustees reh sed for a long Lime to pay for that. Bethel has blackboards rolled up which have never been used. The Meid school lias no pump. .\.iss Edith Welli and her pupils have to iii with their wraps <>n to keep from freezing on cold days, for ho k of repairs to th.- building. Mow can any teacher, no mattei how good she may be, ? her best work without blu< kbourds, maps, a comfortable house, a tiro, and not even a good drink of water? All of these things were <tailed to the trustees' attention bj tin- teachers and patrons of these schools, yel Mr. Wells wants to make it appear that these are "little local : reports and opinions" and arc "not th,. sentiments of the whole district." Or, in other words, in- wants to mi ke it appear that the patrons of the Bethel school know and approve of all of these and many mole acts of tin- trustees toward the small schools, Mr. Weils gays that "Bethel t< ok at field day?more prizes?and won rtrst honors, etc," Let's see how < no was "took," A man made an axe hudle for bis son and one for his nephew. When the children went up . is nephew carried in both the handles and kept the numbers till the prize was awarded ami went i p ami claimed it and then save the other boy hi* HUmber. But WlleU tile 1 miles were returned, this man's nn found that his handle was the ? ne that w on the prize and he com? menced lo kick about it SO the nephew's parent divided the money I etween them and made peace. 'Phi is Madam Rumor's version, and this "will reach far away into the history of Privateer." The results can easily be seen, the child will not likely de? part from these things that are train? ed in him while he is a boy. Mr. Wells says that "the public had no land or building-?Bethel church donated a beautiful lot" right in the edge of the grave yard,?a good place to bill;, tile BChOOl. The tMIStt'S bought a lot from .Messrs. Willi.' aid Waiter Lynani and another from Mr. B. R. Barkley which have never been used and for the information of the Bethel patrons, as well as the oth? ers, I will say that I have been In f or med that the land on which the church Is built was given by Col. Mil? ler and Mr. Netth s to be used f< r church purposes only. So in the event that the Church should cease to use this kind, it would revert back to the original tracts which are now owned by Mr. J. M Kolb and Mr. W. E. Kolb, A title given by the church in I this case w ould only be good as long as the church uses the land, it then. But the worst of it is. that the church j has given Uo t it I.?. the church had a I meeting of i few members and decid? ed to give the lot and appointed a I committee to see about it. but noth ' Ing more has been done. I do not 'know what share Mr. Wells had in I the church having this meeting, but son e of the members are talking now that the trustee**, nor an\ one else, .an us,- the building without the church's consent, and ti tltb from the church would not be good unless it 'was agreed to b> a majority of the [members, This la the situation, which l merel> Mention for Information, but would it not be In keeping with I Mr. Weils* record to tear up the [school and church both and lei th j land go ba< k to the former tracts', If he could do it ?
