A. C. Charleston, h e negro
teacher known in print in Greene
county as safe and sound thinker
for his race as in consonance with
best Southern views, has completed
his school near Leakesville across
the river and is now teaching at
Hillman. Charleston opens h i S
school every morning with prayer,
and frequently with Bible reading
