5reeuvflie, Oct. l3.--(special. D---In reply to criticisms of the Greenvilis public schools in . recent communi- cation from Rev. Father Costello of Montgomery, to State Superintendent of Education Gunnels. to which ref erence was made in The Advertiser. City Superintendent Hodges has given out the following card:
 "Editor The Advertiser:
 "In view of the wide publicity given to recent correspondence between Rev. Patrick T. Costello and Hon. H. C.. Gunnels, State Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction. in which reference Is made to certain practices in the sch ools at this place. ask sufficient space to publish the following. that the truth in reference to these prac- tices may be known.
 "In the openipg paragraph of Rev. Mir. Costello's letter, the statement is made that certain Catholic children have been punished for not preparing their Bible work etc. shall hope to learn that this erroneous statement is due to mis-information on the part of Rev. Costello.
 within the six years of the present administration only one instance has occurred that even the fervor Of the most intense religious prejudice could warp into an act of injustice, and this was due to a lack of information on the part of the teacher as to the fact

that catholics do not allow. their chli- dren to use the Bible The teacher was prepafinG . program for the ape propfiate celebration of Christmas
 One feature of this program was to
 be responsive reading from the ac- count of the birth of Jesus. To practice this reading, the children were asked to bring their New reSta- mento.
 .On the appointed day. several chil- dren. including one catholic child, came without these and were asked to remain for a short time after the other
 children had been dismissed for the day.I Being thus left alone with the teacher. they were reminded of the re- quest of the day before and then al- lowed to go home. no punishment of any kind having been administered or threatened.
 "on the following day we were in- formed by a note from the father of this Catholic boy that he objected, for the reason that he was . Catholic. to
 having the Bible placed in the hands of his child. Thereupon the child was excused from that part of the exer- else for the Christmas program and note of explanation was sent by the teacher to the parent in which 1t was stated that a lack of information on her part was responsible for her ask. ing his child to do anything contrary to the religious scruples- of the father. and assuring him that nothing of . similar nature would be asked of his child again.

 Selma. oct. 12.
 There is no doubt that the prohibit ton agitation which is about to be started In Selma, will meet with serf- ous drawbacks. Many business men nave expressed the opinion that this is most inopportune time to begin the fight. An informal conference sof a number or business men was held this morn. Ing at the Central City Club. What action was agreed upon or whether any plans were adopted by the busi- ness men was not made public after the meeting nor would sny one who attended give out any information.
 One of the men who attended the meeting sasd that the business men of Selma believe that those who are engaged in the whiskey.>, business should be given a reasonable length of time to get out of the business and plan to go into some other pursuit or to move from the city to soma other city or. State.
 Another man who attended the meeting said that if a prohibition light Is to be brought on, that it would be to the best interests of the city for a clean campaign to be waged that whiskey business are good citizens and that no mud d-siinging campaien should be waged.
 The called meeting of the ministers which will be held in the Young Mems Christian Association tomorrow after noon at 3:30 o'clock promises to be largely attended. The meeting will be addressed by Brooks Lawrence and every minister in the city.
