Some of the newspapers, among
them the Punta Gorda Herald and the
Tampa Tribune, have published a
wrong report about the negro postal
clerk, w. 7. Young. Now that the
time allowed by law for filing bill
of exceptions has passed, We deem it
duty to correct our esteemed con-
tempOraries.
The chief OF the gang. w. T..
Young. confessed to us, privately,
time and again, that he had been
buying teachers certificates from
some county superintendents for six
years. He would sell the same to
negro teachers, who did not care 90
to pass the examinations. These cer-
tificates, having the signature of the
county superintendent and the seal
OF the school board, would never be
questioned. He placed his teachers
away from the county. where the
guilty superintendent lived. They
were not allowed to teach In adjOin-
ing counties, as Il general hing In
this way no suspicion had ever arisen
as to their not being all right. In
six years, Young asserted. he had
made over $1,000 for one supcrin-
tendent" tnOw OUT In one year he
had made for himself $4,000. but OF
course had to whack up with the
county superintendent. One year he
got eight certificates from one super
intendcnt. Another year he had
placed seven of his teachers in one
county.
All this was proven in court. not
only BY the sworn testimony of the
county superintendent of DeSOtO,
but also by that of F., b. McCleland,
a member of the county board, who
was sccretcd ON one occasion, hear
| ing the statements. Inc letters ana
| the money of the negro, put in an
envelope with his initials and amount
on outside, were placed in evidence.
Young never did admit this in
court. He made the statement to
the county superintendent, to whom
lie had unfolded his plan of operation.
I All said in private was as argument
to induce the officer to grant the GER
| tificates there would be no risk
of detection. judging by the past.
The negro refused to disclose the
names of the county superintendent
with whom he had been in league.
The DeSOtO board and superin-
tendent have done all they could
towards the detection, arrest and
conviction of the negroes. We en-
plOyed extra counsel to assist the
States attorney. The data obtained
from Young has all been placed in the
hands OF the State superintendent.
He will doubtless do everything pos

sible to find out where those certi-
ticates have been in circulation and
the names OF the guilty officials.
We may add that We were not al
lowed to testify that we, as county
superintendent, were acting under
the advice or with the approval of
the County Board and the State
Superintendent. Such are the rules
OF practice" that prevent a ,plain
man from telling his tale in his own
way.
The other negrO-ROdgers-hav-
ing confessed the crime, is dismissed
with the remark that he was in bad
company and was fortunate to plead
guilty.
Three other negroes, preacher
from Lakeland, and two women from
Orlando, were also under bond,
charged with the same Offense. As
their money had been returned or re-
fused by the county superintendent.
the States attorney let them off
without an Indictment.
We feel that the conviction of W.
I. Young, a postal clerk. Il man of
education and standing, will have a
good effect. He was, according to
his own statements. swindling and
COrrupting his own race. He was
loading the public schools. taueh;

titicates were born of bribery and

the conviction of the guilty county

Young. a superintendent. acting with
him would always have his Office

to the graduation sheets, showing
those who had stood the eXamina-

The DeSOtO superintendent and
board have convicted the chief, and
stopped him from wearing the badge
