day Superintendent of Education ].
II. Hope had ordered a holiday for
the colored schools of the county. Rev
Richard Carroll was to have deliv-
cred an address on Wednesday, but
was unable to come. He sent N. S.
Shelton to represent him. Shelton de-
livered good, sensible speech, full
of timely advice and considerable
humor. He was heard with pleasure
by those present, a number of the
audience being white people. Tho
Times editor, having been invited to
respond to Carroll's address, was
called upon to respond to the address
of Shelton, and did so to the best of
his ability.
During each afternoon there were
chariot races and horse races, which
added greatly to the pleasure of the
attendants.
