A Further Correction.
Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
T am not subscriber to your excel
lent paper, much to my regret, hence
am not up TO all the news of the times
(?), and did not know until this writing
of the reference you made in previous
issue, in substance, to wit: That Miss
Lillian G.. Mack and Miss Lucille Stew
art were supplanted at the State College
because of some breach of discipline,
and would not known it now, if some
one had not called my attention that
seeming correction" had appeared
in your paper in which mention was
made of the same matter.
I don't suppose you meant to "asso-
| ciate'' the two names together IN the
sense of standing, for there is a dis
tinction and a difference, even known
to the editor, in the general govern
ment and entity Of the respective
families
But l suppose that as they came from
the same town and taught at the same
school, your reference went, and no
| further, for white people. as a rule, do
not worry much overthe standing and
variations of colored people.
|
rect, if you had all the facts before
YOU, as | know them, with the differ
euce state.
It is the old rule at the college, that
any teacher can resign whenever it is
feared th,.t either reelection will not
be realized or there is & probability
that some charge will be preferred. so
! the Board in the great charity OF its
dealings, gives the teacher the prlril-
eye 70 resign and thus end all further
complications, so that such person can
prate and say, i resigned, and enjoy
the force said words can imply, If any.
II wish to assert, with emphasis that
the two names cannot be associated to-
gether, as far back as last year when
Miss Mack was charged with q breach
of Observation-Disclosures sister was en-
pelled-aud the Board Of Trustees re-
! garded it, to use her own words, ''as i
| flaw or blemish either in conduct or
service and suspended her. after
having acknowledged her guilt. refer
ence to the record will more fully ap-
pear.
Miss Stewart has demanded OF the
Board of Trustees a hearing has re-
peatedlv demanded it, and has not
been granted it. the simplest act OF
Justice the Board could DO. She was
refused representative at the meeting
of the Local Board of Trustees. She was
promised that the matter would be
heard by the full Board in May and
this was denied her; that she would be
given an opportunity to meet the issues
according to the set rule of the Board,
but this right has been abridged, the
rule nullitied and Of none avail as
a protection and a defense: Now why
said Board Of Trustees would take an
advantage of 4 woman and not permit
further light, refuse her hearing,
such as is granted by all bodies with
power to hear and determine. even in
cases of the most pronounced guilt, is
past finding out, in face OF a rule and
the proper demand so TO do, unless it
be that there is disregard for the
good name of either colored man or
woman, except 10 such cases where Il
whole retinue OF white people would
write the Board as was done last year
in the case against Misses Fordham
and Mack and which DR.. Miller, the
college president himself, condemned
and said il. substance, that if the white
LAWYERS of Broad Street in Charleston
, would keep out the result would have
been otherwise, thereby giving them
the credit for what was done to save
the two teachers from dismissal and
not the Board of Trustees
It seems that the full observance O.
a rule should be granted to all alike
; for in all such things there is prin
, ciple involved, to say nothing of the
conclusions to be reached, and the posi-
