at Columbus, Ohio, Starr served only
a short time, however, his sentence
being committed by President McKin-

Miss Davis Replies to Mr.. Lewis
Charges.
Editor County Record:

Editor County Record:
In last weeks issue Of The Coun-
sy Record there was published a re-
port by Mr.. D. L. Lewis on the con-
diriou of schools in Williamsburg
county. The unsatisfactory conditions
m the Lane school were attributed to
dre weak discipline of the principal
for the past year OF two. For the
past two years I have held the posi-
tion of principal in tie Lare school,
and the statement that the present
irsmganized condition of the Schoo!
Is due to weak Gicipline on my part
Is absolutely unjust and untrue. The
present principal has been AZ work
more than five months, and it seems
that if the unsatisfactory conditions
are result of my lack of dicipline,
he has had ample time to effect some
Improvement. For the benefit OF the
pubic ] want to state few facts in
regard to the Lane school this session.
At the opening of the session the prln-
sipal ignored the promotion cards and
allowed the children to &c into any
grade they wished. AS result one
girs whom I>promoted, on condition,
from the eight to the ninth grade
went in the tenth grade with
cut even taking a ninth grade
study, and is still in the tenth grade.
Two girls who failed Utterly in the
esshfh, and whom did not pass, went
urchallenged into the nmtE grade. l
know of these cases and doubtless
there are others in the school who
have been allowed to 60 into grades
IN which they did not belong. There
IS no incentive for children to Study
when the ones who do not work are
allowed to pass equally with the ones
who do work. There are two teach-
ers teaching with the present prin-
cipal who were my coworkers in The
Lane school, ard who will have to
testify that 1 managed the school
when I was principal. Now for the
dfsorganized condition prevailing in
the school do not intend to bear Inc
blame. I was principal of this school
sar two years and was. reelected for
= third term. Senator G. M. Beasley'
a trustee talked to me personally and
asked that l accept the position again
this session. Mr.. j. B. ClarSson,
another trustee, came to the school
house twice a day for the two years
1 taught there and if my discipline
was causing the school to be so dis
organized surely he was negligent OF
his duty not to call my attention to
the fact, and he should not have
stood for my reelection.
Miss Hattie McMurray, our county
demonstration visited the school sew
