Please allow me space in your paper to
rebut some OF the many derogatory, and, to
my mind, apparently false charges made
against the officials in charge OF educational
matters in this county,
Now, for the benefit of tho uninitiatod, l
would state that there are three parties con-
cernod in granting teachers certificates
These are the county judge, tho examina-
ton board and tho state superintendent.
The county Judge merely ascertains the
moral character of this applicant and II the
examination board recommends him or her
as having passed a satisfactory examination,
grants him or her certificate, So there
fore. the charge of Partially shown by the
county judge is unfounded and false. He
possesses no power whatever to show J,'por-
itism to any applicant.
The examination is public. One Of the
board selects from ten to twenty questions,
writes them on black board, and two of
them pass upon the written replies Of the
applicant. Tho MSS, of tho applicants are
then placed on file in the county judges OF.
fee.
It is nonsonsical to charge the board wath
fraud. Sworn officials, public examination,
applicants replies filed for public investiga'
ton. There is not even shadow of fraud.
How as to the State Superintendent? His
function in the matter is to select n practi'
cal list of questions to test the applicants
ability to teach. The Legislature defines the
branches to be taught. Mr., Cooper's re-
nomination by the people of the great state
of Texas shows forcibly that he is no Sap
head" or ''yap."
Now, am stranger; don't care cent
for my part who il elected or defeated, but
do not like to see so much smoke where
no fire exists 1t is all any man, teacher OF
otherwise, ought to ask is square deal all
round,
Fellow teachers the 0nNs of our status
rests upon our own shoulders. We must
study and keepup with tho age, or get
''scooped."
The people pay for competency and they
want i'll Respectfully, j. j. M.

Once more we will try to give you few
items of news, from our rural burgh, not
because we think il will interest or please
any one to hear from us, but like other
rural minded Inhabitants of remote burghs
les, we feel like something ought to be
SAID about us to prevent the world from
thinking we had fermented and evaporatsd.
That ice-cream supper has come and
gone. and we are happy to state, was COM
plete success. The managers reported S7S
and some cents. The expenses, after re-
turning articles purchased which were not
used, will amount to about $50. Mr.. ]. E.
Morris and lady, of San Marcos, were
there and fair turnout (wagonloads of
young ladies) from Cottonwood increased
the crowd and added beauty and life to the
scene. Misses Alice Blackeller, Mary Vest
and Oracle Denton represented Coronal H.
stitute, and according to our unbiased judg-
ment, it was fairly represented.
The Woman's Missionary Society ''auo-
toned" their quilt, Mr., Ike James official

to the confidence of the society, and has the
praise and thanks of the community for his
faithful and successful labor. TIE enter
tainment passed off quietly and was remark
able for good order and harmony.

A few days since the cotton stalks were
mass of blooms and rich green leaves, now
there is not vestige of green on any of
the stalks The worms have made clean
sweep, but it will be beneficial to the pick
ers. They ate all the cotton then struck
out foot for better climate. Tho roads
were working masses of worms for several
days and so many were crushed by passing
wagons that the roads were muddy with
"butsed" worms. They were "bustcd' in
the fullest sense of the word-not just a
little financial embarrassment, but COM
plete and overwhelming "bust.

We are in receipt of communication
from "l776' in reply to "True Blue" of
the Kyle Star. As the writer says the Star
appears to have denied him hearing, We
should have published his article, but it
came in only yesterday evening, after our
space was full. I776 denies, in most posi-
tive terms, the charge of True Blue that he
is in league with the republican party. He
says he voted for Garfield, but in 1881 vot-
ed for Cleveland. because he believed in
free trade, and still does 80. l776 further de-
MES that the leaders of the non parti-
sans of Hays countyare republicans; with the
exception of the writer, all the Others have
been lifelong democrats. He adds: 1.-The
fact is, don't know an out and out repub-
lican whs claims to be non-partisan."

That Colored Democratic Convention.


The People never did take much stock in ne
groes turning Democrats, and that's fact We
cannot help believing they naturally belong to
the Republican party. Here and there is
negro who may rise above prejudice and'his
cratic party, but these are isolated cases. We
have no idea that anv considerable number of
colored voters will turn Democrats. Now and
then there may be q rara avis among the race
something in the shape of white blsckor
Trying to convert negroesto Democracy will
hardly pay. and the effort is not worth the can
dle-especially Is this the case at the present
time. when the great majority of the colored
voters are rampant Republicans
1t is well known that We have lust had q con-
vention of col6fed Democrats in our midst
Some of the scenes were dsgraceful to the ex-
treme Pistols were drawn and lives threatened,
and an attempt made to capture the convention
by Republican negroes. The delegates quarreled
among themselves They managed to pass reso-
lutions indorsing Cleveland and Thurman, and
they made windy speeches, signifying nothing
1t was daisy convention of sixty odd colored
Democrats But this shows progress We re-
member the time when John eMahorneys life
was in danger because he declared himself q
Democrat.
The time is hardly yet ripe for negro Democrat
ic conventions. and we do not believe they can
do much good for the Democracy. The mo-
tives o. the colored man who turns Democrat
are always impuensd, though he may be like
Caesars wife-above suspicion.
