School District Meeting.

The annual meeting Of School District No
II was held in the Court House on Saturday,
26th of June, at IL o'clock m. Mr.. W. j.
Ligon was called to the chair, and J. A. Hoyt
requested to act as Secretary. The chairman
explained the object of the meeting, and read
the law in relation to the powers and duties
devolving upon the meeting.
The School Commissioner, Capt. Thomas P.
Benson, asked that the circular of instructions
received by him from the State Superintendent
of Education be read by the Secretary, which
was accordingly done.
Mai. John B. Moore made some remarks
about the condition of the School District, and
denounced W. N. Murdoch, teacher of the
Greeley Institute, as unworthy of confidence
and unfit to occupy the position. BE request
ed the following paper to be read by the Sec
retary
Tb the Chairman Of the School Convention:
DEAR SIR: A meeting of the patrons of the
Greeley Institute was held at the Baptist
Church on last Wednesday night to get an
expression from each one in regard to the
present teacher of the Institute. They have
every reason to believe that he is not perform
ing his duty, and that he has also conducted
himself in a very unbecoming manner to the
students, in the use of profane language du-
ring school hours. We also have to complain
that he has refused to teach several Of the
children who have been sent to him. We
know that he is not giving satisfaction, from
the fact that he only teaches on an average of
five hours per day, when it should be at least
six hours and most of this time is taken up
with singing. We respectfully beg that he be
removed, and that some more suitable person
be appointed in his stead. We are not willing
to be taxed to support man who is so untitled
for the position.
Respectfully submitted,

MIR. Murdoch defended himself against the
attack made upon him, and said that the local
trustees of the school district employed him'
and they had the power to remove him.
Julius Thomas, Sr, replied to Murdoch, and
charged him with inefficiency and bad faith.
The following resolution, introduced by Maj
Moore, was adopted:
Resolyed, That this School District refuses
to levy any tax for local school purposes.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
