which think you should publish. Also
sending you under separate cover some
other data which ! hope you will look

You have NJ conception Of the obstacles
put in m5 way. You have no idea Of the
difficulties that be-et me. Often ! am
sick at heart; but then words of encour-
sgement come "a hand, and take re-
ne~ed determination 10 70 for~ ard with
hope.
When the bosses found out they could
not control me, and make rubt,er STAMP
Of me, they threatened to destroy nae
f-fsst" "a''tg aho hafr DrFu N'hus WHY
thing in their power 10 that end.
However, have mo- fear ~ the ulti-
mate result. Toe truth will prevail, and
right makes might In the future - ia

SQUIRE CaiDERs STATEMENT.

We publish the above statement from
Squire Crider Of Kimball - TO his atti-
tude on the Froe resolution at the Board
Of Education meeting last week.
The Squire makes q lengthy statement
concerning the attitude Of DIR. Hall and
himseif, but he does not show where the
statrment in The Times report Of the
meeting was either ''ineorrect' or "mis-
leading" He gives his position in re-
gard to the proposed high school but he
does not deny the fact TINT he opposed
the resolution.
The Squirs knows, ~ every other in.
teiligent man in the district knows, thai
We could not get q high school building
this year, and one was not seriously Of
Tered. But the President OF the Boarc
did say that q room would he rented and
q teacher with the necessary qualification
hired. The editor Of this paper mad
the statement 20 the Board at the tim.
that the colored people Of Browns Creei
District were told last year that " the,
would accept the present mskeshift, q
soon ~ possible the Board would build
n~w modern high school with the neces
sary facilities and ne are content 10 kee,
the mskeshift until ve grt real higi
school, hot will not change one make
shift for another"
Squire Crider did oppose the resolutio'
and his sole pupose in opposing it Wa

retained ss principal, when svery mar
from Kimball except the Squire state
that Mr.. johnson did not have the ne
ce>-sry qualifications 10 teach . hiel
school course. One gentleman went .

Editor Mcdowell Times,
Keystnne. w. Va
Dear Sir:---
In yoor isroe Of July IL. 1913, thsr<
Appeared On your front paes IN article,
headed. Board OF Educatiou for Brouus
Orsek Disfrict." in which you sssempa
70 inform The resdine pubic Of The buasi-
ne. transacted by sid board, and In shs
nultitnde Of words in your article, you
had this to Say: ATTY. A. @. Fros in
trodncss resolution Be it resolved thai
no application be considered CT sppli-
cant he appointed principal Of gvsasd
srhool ia which high school wo<k 70 dons
unless he be graduate of some reputable
coli>e~ and hoti degree.
In your Comment on the above men,
toned resolution, you stated that it was
opposed BY DR.. Hall. Pres-, whose oppo-
sition was supported by Squire Order.
which 10 misleading and incorrect.
~hall not attempt to speak here for DIR.
Hall, but oil who were present know the
manly manner in which be stated bis
position with regard ts school work.
Now il you viii remember correctly what
had IN ssy concerning the high school.
You must admit yourssh that your quo-
tation Of the matter was incorrect, and
misleading. The thing that really We
said, DIR. Hall taken the position that Il
would he better policy for all concern
to create q high school in the district fov
the color~d people. the same - that for
the whites, which would settle the ques-
ton Of high school and - to the qualiil-
cation Of principal and teachers, because
the same il fixed by Law. And too, IL
you will re:re~h your mind . little you
will remember the very words used by
DIR. Hall in support Of his contention
He askesi the secretary If they could not
lay q levy -nticiant TO meet the extra az
penses which would b. incurred by the
creation Of . high school, and think the
secretary said he thought it could be done,
and added. that II the high school Wa
sstsblished the beard would be able 70
esf some hslp from the state. This h just
the way the white people worked thsir
>chool problen Qua SUCCESSFULLY, and what
had ~ - belose he board, wo in
support of the establishment of hiRh
school that would employ . principal and
teachers for that work - required by
law. And j was opposed, and am still
opposed to any makeshift or high handed
method that has ct the hottom Of it q
As am and have always
been in sympathy with any and every
move put forth for the betterment OF
conditions for the Negro boys and girls,
therefore wish 10 correct the statement
above referred tn. Please give this ar
ticle the same prominent position that
you give the other, and greatly oblige,
SAMUEL CRlDER.
