8ecoud..7Thq chairman of ^he Cong
Mr E* w
Ayers ' thinks he ' has a grievance
against the Dally News and myself
"an fdltpr. # Icriticised the action, of
"*< the Board of Education In creating
the offlce of assistant supervisor at
i' * a aalary of $iOQ per year when there
were, only y, small per cent of the
? school honses throughout the eoun
ty which are up to the standard, al
so their action la' going, out of the
eonnty to employ a Superintendent,
when there were applicants from
this county, so I wan informed, who
had as good endorsements and recommendations
as did their choice
for the BjpstUoh. * #
The board kdverflsed that they
would seiedt the assistant at their
May meeting; there were several a|h
\ plloants. 'Hie Board adjourned and
ancoahced that the appointment
weuM^he 'mafce at some future
time; as a matter of fhet Super
tntendeta Prlvett says he recommend
od the appointment and that the
boat* bed agreed or decided to appoint
her Imt 'iib' announcement of |t
would be made until later.
Why ferns the appointment withbefd?
The reason Is plain. Mi,
- Ayers. chairman of the board, wfp
fhen and la now a candidate (or
J County Treasure* add he 'felt" that
the people werp opposed to the cre tlon
of thttf n?w ofece hnd that it
would hare some effect with' his' candidacy.
r Thers are ptlll other'reasons why
the chairman la ppposing me. Re
cently Jfr. Brlvett wrote an article

Mr. ^Ayera has since cone throughout
Beaufort County holding up to
the cl tlx ens Mi record for economy
* * o(^ the ?*<*
funds. Re Staled recently In B?lbuven
that tlie ochftol board had a
surplus* of about '$4,000 on' band
and had paid all outstanding bills.
Mr. Ayers knows or' should fihve
known that Ms statement was taoor
rect and wltbuut foundation.
At the Jane meeting of the board
It became known that all wag not
.well,with the public school finances
and 1 began to make some Inquiries.
1 first went to the County Treasurer.
He referred lire to the Hoard of "Education.
I then went to Superintendent
Prtrett's office. He was out of
the city and has/been elace about
the flrat of JuwuT Next i Went to
Mr. Ay era, ebpinaaa j>f the board,
and asked him for a statement showing
the condition of the school fund
on June ^st 1914. He looked
through a "bundle of papers in his
pocket and could tad every statement
for several months back but
eould not locate the one 1 wanted.
Finally he flshed Put another statement
which contained the following
JBtornUsa:
It showed that' the board at the
close of the year on. June 30?h, 1913,
hand oa hand a surplus of ^,836.95
and that they had rpoelved tfom various
sources up to June 1st, 1914,
93,232.94 more than the entire collections
for the previous year.
*The -Board had also spent up to
June lpt, 1914, $10,858.11 'feiore
than for the previous year under
Superintendent Vaughan, and on
June 1st, 1914, there was a deficit
in the public school fund of $2,778,22
instead of a surplus of $4,000 as
atat Ari Tit Up A vara nr nf avon 19 00
aa Superintendent Privett told the
people.
It would appear as If there la
some loose methods somewhere.
Superintendent Privett baa not been
keeping a statement of their finances
before the board or the board are
careless in the management of county
school affaire. They were astonished
when at the last meeting they
faced a $3,000 deficit Instead of a
surplus as.they supposed.
After Mr. Ayera gave me the Information
above referred to, he stated
that there wonld be no appointment
of an assistant supervisor. He
hasn't the courage to stand by his
former convictions and In his endeavor
to court' pdblte sentiment and favor
is apparetnly willing to be a
traitor to hla colleagues and to the
yOong lady 4rho\ baa felt assured
and is worthy V the appointment.
Is such man worthy of any publlo

Brabble while acting as officer of

In the fall his body struck the rim
of the hatchway with the result that

time. The lieutenant due to one of

-out of commission did not see the

at the time rendered what aid he
could and subsequently Dr. Joshua

)N ANSWERED
The Chautauqua haa becii schediled
to be here for a whole week
rery aoon. Do we all know what it
?T If It a circus or some queer
ide show? No! It is a week of fun
interspersed with lectures and mule
of the best sort. It is every bit
is Interesting as a circus and all will
te as excited from the early morning
tours, when the big tent is pitched
intll It is taken down at the end of
seven days' stay.
The Chautauqua Is an Institution
irhich affords the nation its broadest
orum. There you will hear the lroortant
topics of the day discussed
7 the men who are most lnterestd
in the special line of endeavor
rbloh they embrace. They will be
aen of whom you have often read
a the newspapers, whose names are
romlnent In all affairs, that concern
be welfare of this great country.
When the Chautauqua comes to
awn it will bring a week's enjoylent.
During this week there will
e 31 entertainments, every afteroon
and evening, "there will be
lotion pictures, twelve concerts,
welve Interesting and instructive
scturos, and other novel attractions.
At present there are 2?0 Chaoauqua
towns In twelvo different
tateB. At each town the Cbantaoua
spends a week. *
With each Chautauqua there is
Junior meeting which entertaiaa
nd instructs the children. These
leetlngB are held wnder the super lskin
of college women who have
sceived special training for this
art of thing.
The name "Chautauqua" eunra
rom the original colony founded at
ake Chautauqua, New York, where
lere la a famous summer reaort.
[any people go there to spend the
ot summer months. Some yearn
go lectures were given there and
ere so successful that aregular
ourse was organized which lasted
>r the summer season. With this
? an inaplratloa, It was decided that
lere should be some way of taking
bautauqua to the people who could
ot go to Chautauqua.
This the Chautauqua Association
as endeavored to do. Of course it
i impossible to bring the lake and
e hotels and halls that are in that
imous resort, where 26,000 people
0 each summer from all over tbo
sited testes so insead, the Assolation
carries the entertainment and
nowledge the same as is Imparted
1 the people there, and nnder a large
snt gives this to its soditora.
A town that becoaieB a Cbautao- ' *-?
us town soon ceases to he a cheap
low town. The cheap shows find
tint they can make little profit there
nd stop coming. The people have
een enlightened and are no longer
x>led by their low form of enterilnment.
There are a good many laugbs at
Ibautauqua, It stands for pleasare
ellght and enjoyment. Not only
oes It exalt the good, the beautiful.
<ia iryi true; out it empnasixes xne
u mo rout as well.
There have been many Interesting
u esse a made as to what the Chaunuqua
was and Is by people who did
ot know. There is one story of a
srmer who came to a town that was
avlng a Chautauqua Week, and at
he same time harbored a side show
nd a merry-go-round. He had been
old thst while in town he must bo
ure to go to tho Chautauqua. The
Jerry-go-round was the nearest to
he Btation, and thither he went.
Vhen he reached home he was asked
ow he liked it. Fine," he replied,
fine, it was sure great. So ine
hat I rode the dinged thing eight
Imes!"
The Chautauqua (s coming to this
own this year, and it will be a
chool (or out-of-school pupils. It
rill be of Interest to the grown-up
rho has completed his education;
t will be of Interest to the child
rho Is Just starting his, and It will
lelight the boy and girl at high
chool or college, who are Just blosomlng
Into the full bloom of youth.
