extreme"
wish to inform you, J. W. B.,
that Mr.. Il. knows exactly what
time the examiner has and as stated
in former answer to you. sit re-
quires every working day of the
year."
MIR. Editor, l believe J. w. B.
fully realizes his blunder, and what
serious reflection he has cast on
an old nelghbor and friend, and l
could excuse HIM if he would have
come out and gracefully acknowl-
edged his fault, caused nv conceited
ignorance of what he was doing, in.
stead of bandylng around, and now
at the close of this discussion on
his part to say he has "now made
it comprehenslble.
| comprehend that he did not
mean to reflect on Mr.. Hinebaugh' g
competency, but not from his pigmy
efforts as writer, and | hope he
may profit by my criticism aud re-
ceive it in the light it was Intended
for his good. And remember my
advice to him in my second reply
april 15) that fairness IN crit.
cism, accuracy in expression and
courtesy in reply, either from gen.
tiemen or commoner, will do more
to benefit q cause or establish
reputation" 60.
And had not J. W. B. attempted
to conceal his blunder BY what he
thought Was sarcasm In trying to

ungentlemanlY reply, but "Some.
body" did not think with him and
! feel assured that you. Mr.. Editor,
and oil your readers. saveJ. W. B.,
did not think with him.
but IN conclusion let me say to
you, although you thought you
were casting no reflection on the
examiner and the school officials
that gave him the position, but by
your hint in the way of a sugges.
ton to the incoming board, "get .
classical examiner; don't do as your
predecessors who placed in this of.
flee an illiterate man who has not
the qualifications to teach q normal
school,"
This is what the suggestion said
to every intelligent reader.
But let me say to you: Mr.. Hine-
baugh, In point of common bust
ness education, will compare with
the man or men you had in view.
With your lack of knowledge you
were impressed with the idea they
were classical scholars. Do you
know, j. W. B., that there never
has been but three or four gentle
men that were classical scholars
teaching the normals in this county
since its formation. vlz., Prots.
Murdaugh, Long, Newman and
Sanner; and never but three men,
bers of the school board, viz, Bry-
don, Miller, and Bartlett as exam.
liner.
Yet it is not altogether the CLASH
cal men that move the world. How
ever much we may admire them for
their attai nments and culture, they
have often proven failures IN posi-
tons of trust and business qualifi-

Now, Mr.. Editor, fearing | am
overtaxing your patience and space
and yet for the benefit of my friend |
J. W. b. l could illustrate in many |
ways for his enlightenment Of school
management, but suffice it to say,
IN conclusion with this little news
paper controversy, that / have no
feeling of ill-will toward j. w. B.,
and hope if we should ever meet
and find out each others initials or

as friends and give each other the
christian hand of fellowship and |
brotherly love in trying to disabuse
the minds of the public against q
