UNKNOWN TONGUE TAKES HOLD
Carries II School Election by Ono
Vote, Defeating Extra Levy.

Laurens, Sept. 19.-Quite a lively
election was held yesterday at the
Long Branch school In which the
advocates of the "Unknown Tongue"
religion played quite a conspicuous
part, winning tho election for them
selves by voting n negro. 1t Is re-
called that this school was the occa-
sion of considerable public comment
some months ago when the county
board OF education dismissed the
board OF trustees for employing q
teacher who was not properly quail
fled and who consumed much OF tho
school tim" teaching the "Unknown
Tongue
The election yesterday was on the
question of voting Il special tax for
the schools in that district All those
who are believers in the unknown
tongue religion and who withdrew
their patronage of the school last
spring when the old board was dis
missed and new teacher employed,
were opposed to the tax, according
to the statement of the managers OF
the election, who were here to-day
and reported the matter to Superin-
tendent Pitts. The final vote was q
tie, | 4 to IA, but late in the day, one
Preston Blakeley, colored, cast his
ballot against the tax. The proposed
levy was, therefore, defeated, but an
other petition will at once be circu-
lated. However, it is feared that
since one negro voted this time,
doubtless more will be Influenced at
the next election.
The people Of the district are much
stirred up over the occurrence, since

school and .he tax is necessary to do
