Privateer, S. c., Sept. 23, 1907.

FrlVateer, .. u, Sept. 23, 1907.
Editor Watchman and Southron:
I noticed in your paper Of Sept
18th an article headed "Privateer
School Affairs" in which the writer
stated that the Red Oak school did
not hold a meeting. This statement
is misleading in that it does not state
that he majority Of the patrons OF
this school were in favor Of consolida-
ton. AS member Of the committee
appointed at the first mass meeting, I
personally saw the majority of the pa
irons and they were heartily in favor
Of consolidation. I made such a re-
port to the second mass meeting of all
the schools in the district and this re-
port was verified by one Of our SUBJ
stantial citizens. The patrons Of this
school stand ready to verify the
above statement. In reference to
statement that a self-appointed COM
mittee made recommendations, &C., I
wish to state that the committees
wereappointed by authority Of their
schools and that the patrons Of the
different schools are still standing by
the action Of their committees.
Yours truly,
J. M. Kolb.
