Notice to Teachers and Trustees.

AS many of the schools are now clos
ing, think it is not out of place for me
to ask the teachers to read the directions
in their registers and fill them out as
there directed. have no way of getting
information only through these reports,
and if they are not made, am then una
Bile to make my report, which Is made up
from all the registers sent in.
l will not approve the last month"; g
claim unless the register comes in prop
erly filled out. A few negro schools
have closed when l was not looking for
it, and the teachers have gone back to
Anderson, Abbeville or some other
county and carried their registers with
them. l want to say right here that this
board would ask trustees not to employ
these low.country negro teachers who
have no certificate from Oconee. We
have seen the evil of it and have decided
to head off as many of them as we can.
am not sure that the law that gives
graduates through-ticket to any public
school in the State, against the wishes of
the County Board, is good one. This
is especially true in the case of negro
colleges. Very often their greasy, i'm
polite graduates come to this office aud
say: Here is my 'dipluma.' have q
school out at Mount Nebo, and want
you to give me certificate on it," l
have handed some of these learned
graduates (theso Mount Nebo men) a
very simple sentence, and they could not
parse at all. We have decided to give
the negro schools to Oconee negr oes.
We can know more of them. Politeness
is necessary for teachers and everybody,
but especially for negro teacher. If
the trustees will help us, and / know
they will, we will work reformation in
this negro school business.
One of these Abbeville negroes is now
on our, county ch'in gang for forgery,
and there is another in Bethlehem

Democratic Candidate For Cow
ernor Made Brilliant Address
Here Last Evening

tlett of the Democratic platform. Mr..
Clement, he said, Is not entirely un'
selfish 10 his crusade againt what he
believes to be wrong in the liquor law.
Had he walked into the racks Of the
democratic party and helped those
who have seen standing tor local op.
ton for years there would then have
been no cause for suspecting him Of
selfish purposes, The Clement party
did not steal the platform, they mere
ly broke and entered. His remarks
We're directed to the democrats, chiefly
those who are wavering, he wants the
people to know that they cannot get a
local option law unless they get it
through the democratic party.
A larger amount of liquor is sold by
the agencies of Vermont than there
would be in open saloons. The law is
hypocritical and inconsistent because
it protects and promotes the crime it
pretends to prevent. The law and
public sentiment under that law urges
and encourages perjury. Ii deprives
the American citizen of a right to a
trial by jury or court Of any kind, as
was shown in caAe that recently hap
pened in st. AlbanS, and as is often
seen.
Mr.. McGettrick gave the best de.
scriptiOn Of the ring rule as it has ex
lsred In the republican party and he
gave one of the best addresses on the
question of local option that has ever
| been made in Vermont.
A referendum, in his opinion, is
absolutely unconstitutional. The CON
stitution distinctly says that all laws
must be made by the general assem-
bly,. Only the question Of date as to
when tine law will 60 into effect can
be referred to the people. The law
must first be passed by the legislature
and must be absolute. The McCul.
Tough platform is based entirely upon
the passage of law that would
be unconstitutional. The Clement
people are mistaken In point Of fact
when they say that the law shall be
submitted to the people the same as
I the prohibitory law went into effect
SO years ago. That law was new,
submitted to the people, 1t was passed
first and the time of its going into ef-
feet was decided by referendum. The
democratic platform calls for the pas
sage OF local option law straight,
without a referendum,
The democratic party stands for
honesty. no deception, and we pro-
pose to give the people local option
law and that as the constitution pro.
