Dear sir: Will you kindly allow a "back woodsman" a little space In your most valuable paper In ordar to speak a tew words In retard to our so-called "free achool eytrtem?" The Intention of the writer is to let the outside world know eome al luring facts about how eome things have been done for the last year or so In regard to achool affairs in Beaufort county and especially In regard to abolishing school district No. 6, Longacre township. The first thing we will take up is the abolishing of the above-men tioned district, and how it came about. Henry Clay Doyd. one of our local business men, abolished district No. I 6 in Loug Acre township, and dli trict No. 7. Bath township, and com bined the two Into one, according V) the best information that we can get. But he doesn't say anything about thfe to any of the patrons a! these districts nor does ho give a hint to anyone as to what he is try ing to do. We see him occasionally riding around with Professor Prlv ette in the latter's automobile and talking to uninterested parties about ,<?nr Softool jnaUcx*, hut he eaya notic ing to us abSnt tb?b. When ho finds out that he cannot make a success in breaking up the Everett School district, he goes on a little further. without notifying any one in district No. 6. excepting L. T. Harris, with whom h* has hoen conversing al! the time about these msttors. Tito patrons of Everett ?chool dis trict called a meeting at their school house and called Mr. Prlvette down th?re to them- some instructions on putting an addition to their -.ouse. Friend Boyd coq^es over and ?ell3 them that he wants to assign 'lis children to their district and they inform him that this woula bo perfectly satisfactory to them. It vould havo been so with us. too, if he had only notified us in time to have saved our district from being 'foil shed. The writer took upon himself the responsibility of felting Up a potl ;lou and carried tt around, securing the fignaturecr of a majority. ThU ;?' tltton wpb prevented to the BoarJ >f Education. But what good did t do? K/>ne at nil- The lUrt was allfid over and the number of pu pil# in the district was estimated to be about 18. The census Of 1914 shows that we have gt {east 20. Af ter Mr. Boyd pulled out, why ooqld n't the -board assign eorac to ay from the Everett district knd put the mat ter on a basis of greater equality? Are they working for the bwrt ad vantage of all the tax-pay era or merely for g few of the loflusntlnl ooepf Any rlghMnjnded person who be iievs* in education and upbuilding of hla oommunlty, will agree with me that It la unfair and unjust not o have a tingle school building la about six mile* square space, espec ially where the children who atten school are all small. Why should all this territory be deprived of a school house? 1# the present board of education cannot maintain ou school properly, why- not put a sot of met) in there who will give equal fight* to all and npectal privileges to none? It is high time that the people looked into thoae matters and put a stop to some of the unfair things that are being carried on at the present time. to the court house any first Monday and you will eee ooopl* from all section* of tbe coun ty in aa uproar over the public ftchool*. We hear our professional men crying out "More education and bet ter education!"

So far the cumbor who have af fixed their (denatures to this list ha', been a keen disappointment to the guarantors, and from the outlook at tho presonl t'.me. It 1* very probable that the Chsutauqua w!ll be missing for Washington next yoar. At the laet meotlng or the guar antors, It was decided that no per sonal solicitation would be mede; I that 11 was up to the people to de cide whether they wanted the Chau tauqua or aot.

News from the eastern frontier Is to the effect that the Teutons are making a desperats effort to cut off the Russian retreat Irm War Raw. They have commenc ed an attack on the fortresses of Kovno and Ossowetx, which are a m-ong the obstacles barring them from the railway from Warsaw throught Vilna and Dvlnak to Petro grad. They have taken the minor Tortroes of Serock at the junction of tho Narew and the Bug. and have crossed the Vistula In the vicinity of Warsaw; and further south, General Woyrsch is advancing eastward. Field Marshal Mackensen 1s being stubbornly resisted and apparently making but alow progress. On the whole, the daring German scheme to destroy the Russian army before It can retreat Is unfolding slowly, a* must be the case from its very magnitude With the thre" main railways, besides those built since the war, it Is believed in mili tary slrcles here tfcat "the -Ortfnd Duke Nicholas will be able-to extri cate his Warsaw army. The events in the east, however, will continue to hold the world's attention for tome time to come. The Germans have gained minor successes In the Argonne forest, whero the army of the crowd prince Baa been trjflnr for weeks to find a | weak spot In the French defense, bnt i a German effort to recover lost jtreurhes on the Llngekopf in the Voftges is declared to have cost them dearly.
