The brutal and unnecessary fight
waged upon Judge Crisp, of Georgia,
by the st. Louis Republic has crystal
lized a large sentiment in favor of that

notwithstanding the safeguards
that are supposed to be thrown around

Our county has been honOred by the

on our part.

The New School Ru,Iding.

The work begun on the addition to the
First ward school building, mentioned
exclusively in the INTELLIaENoER, has
been suspended, the board ordering a
cessation of labor for ten days from Mon
day night. At a meeting of the board OF
education that evening, officers OF Eliz-
abeth Aull Seminary and members of the
Irish Catholic society appeared and re-
monstrated against the erection of the
contemplated addition to the First ward
school and the removal of the colored con-
tingent to that building. The officers of
the seminary contended that coiored chill
dren passing by the seminary building to
and from school would injurs the reputa-
ton of the seminary and detract from its
usefulness. The Catholics asserted that
they contemplated the erection of a church
or a lot adjoining or near the school, n
the presence of the pupils of the colored
school would much interfere with the
good order and decorum of a house OF
public worship.
Until the matter OF the location of this
school can be fully determined, the board
decided to suspend operations for the time
mentioned.
An. INTELLIaENCER reporter met Mr..
C. G. LudWigs, a member of the board, at
his place of business Monday, and was
Told that the board of education had sub
mitted a proposition to the remonstrars,
that if they would assist in placing an
additional loan of 5000, with which to
purchase a site, the change would be AIKEN
into consideration, providing, OF course,
the people sanctioned such a change.
"We have made inquiry and effort to
buy a lot upon which to locate this
school," said Mr.. Ludwigs, "and so far
have been unable to find one. The only
course now left to us is to condemn one,
n that, you know, is one of the most
unpleasant things on earth"
