A Complaint.

To the Editors of the Columbia Herald:
Several weeks ago your CORES pond
ent at Carter's Creek Station made an
inquiry, in the nature of a complaint.
why the people in the neighborhOod
could not have a Public School at Lock
ridges church. He said tfat they paid
taxes, etc, and intimdted that as
matter of right, they should have the
school. The right was conceded to them
and the school given. Now, we not on
lv ask the question ''why we cannot have
a school at the church," but we make
the complaint and charge that the peo-
pie in the neighborhood are either act
ing in bad faith and not doing their du-
w to the county and State, or the CORES
pendent did not reflect the wishes of the
people, and only made this inquiry De-
cause he had nothing else to write about,
and felt like dnding fault with some
body. Now to substantial our charge.
On the 10Th inst, school was opened,
the teacher having gone round previous
" and ascertained that there were BE-
tween 35 and 40 children of legal school
age in the neighborhOod of the church;
yet on the 2lst inst. just two weeks a :
ter the school was commenced, when We
visit ed the school in he discharge OF our
duties, we found only nine children in
school, and WAS told by the teacher that
only about twelve had been enrolled,
Now, is I justice to the county and
SCate for the people to complain and
have man paid $40 per month tn teach
only nine or ten children, when he can
teach thirty or forty Just as well? But
if the people did not wish the school and
do not feel bound to send to il. did our
friend, the CORES pondent, reflect The
wishes OF the people when he made tn
complaint? Why, then. did he make il?
Now, Mr.. K iitOr. have complaint
To- IN TX while am on this subject OF
the whole county, and only those whom
the cap fits do We wish to wear It, Man
nv county has about ii 600 children both
white aid cOlored. She has employed
about one hundred teachers and about
the same Eumber of schools st 4blished.
Many of the schools have suspended and
many others are nearly ready to stop.
WHY? Not because the tePch-
ers did not do their duty; not for lack OF
funds: but because there were no chill
dren in the schools to be taught. Schools
that commenced with from thirty to fit~
ty children, dwindled down to ten or
fifteen. Now, If the State and county
have done their duty in providing for
the maintenance OF the schools, and the
officers under the law have established
the schools, then the people are not do~
Ing themselves nor their children justice
by keeping them at home, and allowing
them to grow up in ignorance. Silver
and gold cannot buy wisdom, nor can 1t
recall lost opportunities Do not let the
almighty dollar blind you to your best
interests. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

DR.. Munsex.


DIR. Munsey was announced to lecture
"The Ideal-Art-Music," but it rained
nearly all day, and continued to rain
until night, and his friends announced
that he would not lecture, but would
preach in the NJ. Z. Church Sunday
morning. Sunday morning was very
iuclement also, but the church was well
filed, though not uncomfortably crow
ded. DR.. Mitchell, the able Presbyteri-
an minister, did not have any service in
his church in order that his people
might hear DR.. Munsey, and occupied a
seat in the pulpit beside him. After a
fine voluntary by the choir, DIR. Munsey
gave out the hymn GA, '.And am born
to die?" DIR. Mitchell prayed beauti
fdl and impressive prayer, and DIR. Mum
sey announced the text, "Be sure your
sin will find you out" In the begin-
ming, his voice was not strong, and the
congregation failed 10 catch some of his
finest sentences. He lei them along by
his irresistible logic until they beheld
the entire anatomy of sin, bare and hor-
rible as grinning skeleton. By this
time he had become glowing and ami
mated with his subject. Then came a
natural scene, followed by one of the
most beautiful pictures ever painted in
the words of genius. The judgment
Day might take place at any tIme--to~
day. A description of the Coming OF the
angel Gabriel, meeting of all men, dead
and living, with Christ and the angels
in the air--was beautiful beyond COM
paIison. Then came the dread judg-
ment-dreadful to sinners-and hell
and worse, "outer darkness" Here the
preacher preached as if he were inspired
indeed. The majesty and greatness OF
his ideas were OverpOwering; he came as
near as human words will allow, rising
to the reality he described. Could we
say more? After the sermon and a
hymn, DIR. VIM. Mack offered an APP
propriate prayer, exceedingly beautiful
and full of power. Surely such SER
mon, surrounded by two such prayers
will avail much, and rarely has con-
gregation been so blessed in one day. AT
ter HYMN, DIR. Munsey left the church,
and the pastor, Rey. Mr.. ,McFerrin, ex~
planned that DIR. Munsey's friends had
prevailed on him to preach, and not
lecture; that he had to retire last year
from active work in the ministry on ac-
count of bad health, and his present lee
turing tour was for the purpose of sup
porting himself and family. He will
not accept gifts or donations, col'ec-
ton of nearly one hundred dollars was
taken up for him. DR.. Munsey became
quite i'll Monday, on account, no doubt
of the bad weather and the exertion Of
preaching. Some of our citizens called
on him, and were charmed by his ex'
oeeding smiability and entertaining con-
versation. He is the guest OF our es'
teemed feIlow-citizen, Josh. G. Bailey
whose family showed him all the kind
ness and attention in his illness he
would have received at his own home
in East Tennessee. DR.. Munsey is {
genius of the highest order, and full o
the Holy Ghost. He is too great to bt
stationed aLywh ere, and should be ap
propriated by all the churches every
where. All the Methodists of the coun
| try, and all other denominations, ART
| entitled to q share in such man.
