from his team in broad daylight yesterday.
1t could not have been gone more than a
few minutes before the fact was known,
and Mr.. Hart sent his son to the station to
enter complaint. On arriving there the
officers heard the story and then produced
the robe, and pointed out two men arrested
for having stolen it some minutes before.
The robe was restored and the owner

J. T. MINTON OF S. C.

1t seems that there is a bitter
feeling on the part of the people
against Mr.. j. T. Minton, of S. @ :,
of a rumor that the board OF
school trustees intended to appoint
him an associate teacher in the
High school. 1t will be remem
bered that Mr.. Minton was dis
charged from the treasury Depart
ment for causes known to himself
and the senator from South Caro-
lima. We have no doubt of MIR
Minton's clerical ability but we
do doubt his ability to be a teach-
er in the High school. For the
benefit of our readers, the public
and the many who have called to
this office in regard 10 the matter,
We desire to state that Mr.. Hugh
Nj. Brown of this city will be nom
mated for the p. 81 n and lady
of the corps of teachers assigned 10
duty in that schovl. 1t is not
likely that Mr.. Minton will be ap-
pointed to any position In the
public schools. The gentleman
who urged the trustees to appoint
Mr.. Minton, has made mistake
snd we advise him to, as an ad-
mirer of his, make no further re-
quest. The people do not want
Mr.. Minton, and while we have
the utmost respect for him We be-
lleve that our schools should be
clear of politicians. The public
schools must not be made refuge
for discharged government en-
ployes. Mr.. Brown is acceptable
to the trustees and people aud no
one al preciates his al pointment
more than the people.

GONE AT LAST.

Among the many trustees whose
designations have met with univer-
sal appreciation and applause, is
that of Mr.. John HI. Brooks, trus-
tee of the 9Th school division. We
must admit that he was one of the
smartest trustees that we have had
but his manner towards the teach
ers and people made him obnoxious.
His resignation and its acceptance
by the Commissioners were no sur.
prise to us. Mr.. Brooks while a
member of the District Legislature,
was instrumental In defeating the
Normal school bill, which would
have benefited the colored people
His course towards lady teachers
was tyranical he could not see the
wrongs of some and others he
could see. Now that there are
two vacancies i'm the schools, one
i'm the county and the other in the
city, we offer this suggestion to the
Commissioners appoint }. Il. Fran
els TO succeed Mr.. Brooks, he is a
man of reputation and character
and will be acceptable TO the peo
Pile.

Indeed, it has been said that the
Negro press is failure. The dec
laration is very broad and one that
we don't endorse. 1t has been but
a few years since the Negro has
been permitted to exercise a pOr.
tion of that right guaranteed by
the constitution of the United
States, and therefore it is not pre-
sumed that he would be able in
such a short period to equal jour-
