Rejoinder to McKenzie's Reply.
DR.. Mescays: 1t
I see but two or three items In W.
e. McKenzie's article worthy Of my
notice. The first is, he denies some oil
the words used by me in my article.
Let the certificates of others Msn and
nOw appended settle this point.
The second is: He saysI am only
an employee. I ask for what was / en-
ployed? Is not the Principal the
proper spokesman of oil schools2 Is
it not his to build up, and keep others
from tearing DOM the school? Be.
sides, who is Mr.. j. F. Syler--the man
who endorsed my statements fully? l
answer, he is the Secretary and Treas
urer Of the Trustees. He can defend
if I cannot Who is Mrs. NJ H. Bone ?
] answer, the wife Of Rev. Dr. Bone,
President of Trustees, whom Mr..
Mckenzie called on to harangue as he
did Mr.. Syler and myself, but he being
from home, his wife caught the fate of
her husband, as she testifes, notwith-
standing she is one Of the "Yeaker
vessels" whom, Mr.. Mckenzie says,
should be "protectcd" Who is Rev.
James Campbell2 I answer, he is the
Financial Agent Of the Board of
Trustees, who, Mr.. Mckenzie said,
should collect no more money if he
could help it.
The third is, he asks why do not
use the law as "remedy" against the
Board. l answer, because I have
nothing against the Board to litigate,
and never have had against this or any
other board with which / have ever
been connected. And if Mr.. McKen-
zie could say as much, he would not
have felt himself called upon 10 "put
down my school," and provoke this
controversy. He further says that I
have made the attack on him. Let the
world decide.
Who told Graves Pennington that to
put $500 worth Of improvements on
the Institute non would be the worst
thing they coull do9 W. E. McKen-
zie did. ...
Who said the Institute is as good
now as when lie taught in til W. E.
Mckenzie did. ...
Who went to Mr. Mckenzie to stir
up any of these things? Echo-Mo
one! ...
Who appealed to him that they
might act as peace makers l.? Answer
A. M. Burney, Rev. James Campbell,
and the Board of Trustees of Robert
Donnell Institute. ....
Who refused? w. E. Mckenzie,
saying he would .;fgAt ii out" Words
of his letter 10 me) a',..
Who came to my room on the 25th
of March last, and returned to see me
at the Institute on the 26th, and de-
clared he intended to break down the
Robert Donnell Institute if he could :?
l answer, w. E. Mckenzie did.
Who auent to DR.. Bones on the same
days and declared the same2 Mrs.
Bone says W. Z. Mckenzie d,d.
Who went to Rev. Jas. Campbelps
on same days and made in substance
the same declarations, and more i? Rev.
Mr.. Campbell says w. f. Mckenzie did.
Who aoent to j. F. Syler's Office and
made the statements published on the
22d of April, in the presence of DIR.
Wood and Mr. Syler? Mr.. Syler says
w. f. Mckenzie did. Then, who
F." made the attack" The world will
say W. +. Mckenzie did. But Mr..
Mckenzie says it will not "injure' me,
but the Trustees and friends, and those
who keep boarding houses, ETC., Prof.
Burney now keeps one of these,) and
that Prof. B. can resign and 60 else
where, as he has done. So may George
III. of England arise from his ashes
and appear in the next scene Of the
Black Crook!
Mr.. Mckenzie intimates that he is
still willing to :fghtI out" this ex-
preston l have in his letter REDUCING the
terms of peace;) that his resources of
defense are not yet exhausted. ] pre-
sumo not, if he had any, for he has used
none up to this date. I accept his
proposition.
Let the certificates of those who
heard him 60 before the public, and let
the world decide for themselves.
