Explanation.
Mr. Editor:— ln your last weeks paper
there is a card by G. M. Sanders, charging
me with making statements which he .says are
not true.
I do not propose to discuss either the
merits or style of my sermons in the county
papers. lam not willing to engage in a
dispute in print, but I think justice demands
an explanation : If this charge had not been
by an honorable man, one I have regarded
a3 a gentleman, I should not have noticed it.
1 am even now unwilling to admit that Dr.
Sanders would wilfully misrepresent me or
any one else. I think he deserves as much
credit for his efforts to build up society as
any man in Jackson count}', but whiie I
conscientiously believe this he like the balance
of mankind since the fall is liable to mistakes.
I therefore say the Dr. is simply mistaken—
you as well as your readers know, how easy
a man a little excited many misinterpret
what a public speaker says.
I know I am liable to mistake and have
made many—but to the card. In the first
place I ask you to notice that he did not use
the quotation marks—therefore he does not
profess to give my exact words. Then of
course he intends to say that this was a
legitimate inference from what I did say.
Instead of saying “ there was not a young
man or lady” &e. &c. I did say, I had known
young ladies who thought some witty saying
followed by a laugh was neceessary to show
themselves off, and could not converse five
minutes without it, leaving this whole com*
munity out.
In reference to the dance—l said it was often
the result of a want of sufficient intelligence
to entertain each other intellectually. 1 then
made this remark distinctly—“ mind you, I
did not say no intelligent people dance —for
I have known some who do,” but it is often
the result as stated above. “This community”
left out again. In the next charge—l said
“ I know twelve eight sehollars cer
tainly who would have been in this school
the last year, but for the influence with which
they would have been surrounded ; not on
account of crimes now prevailing, but on ac
count of seeds which would have been sown
by surrounding influences.” I will not sav
whether I said atheism or infidelity or not,
I am not certain as to that, the card says i
was then referring to the school. 1 did not
in this refer to what was taught in the school
house, evil, infidelitjq atheism may be
taught like any other theory—by example.
I never have said nor believed that Capt.
Naum&n taught these things or any other re
ligious principal or doctrine in his school.
Now-1 did make a remark in reference to
that particular community, which I would not
have made afterwards because I saw I was
likely to be misunderstood, though the Dr.
has not referred to it at all, also, I would not
afterwards have said what I did in reference
to those scholars, on account of its personal
character. 1 want to reassert that I love the
peopleabout the Tavern. They have treated me
well and I appreciate it.
Mr. Editor. I have simply made an ex
planation and made no reply, and have writ
ten thus tamely because Ist it is right, 2>i
because when there is a disturbance I desire
rather to heal, than wound, so far as may be
done in truth. If I sin against eocity
to socity I must answer—if against the church
to the church must I answer if against God
—to him I must confess—if against my
feiiow-raan to him I mast acknowledge my
fault—whether pride dictates diiTerently or
not. I now desire to say that whatever in this
: may look like an apology let me say it is not
made, through dread of criticism or the fear of
man, but simply for the sake of ritrht. I
I have written thus lenghly because I expect it
to be the last on this subject. Wood's camp
meeting embraces the third Saturday in
August. Yours, M. U. Earls.
Martin Institute*
In a previous article I gave some reasons
in support of the belief that the prospects of
this Institute are very encouraging. There
are some changes however, in the manage
ment which I think are necessary before a
high degree of efficiency can be attained.
These changes I now propose to consider.
lirst: the Trustees should take a deeper
interest in the management of the Institute
than they have manifested for several Years
past.
The endowment of the Institute belongs to
the people and not to the Trustees and the
Trustees are the only lawfully constituted
medium through which the people can de
mand their rights. How careful therefore
should the Trustees in the discharge of their
duties, and should any one of them shrink
from his obligations from any cause, he
should immediately resign that someone else
might be chosen in his place.
Each Trustee ought to feel bound to at
tend all the meetings of the board, and the
reason sometime assigned, that there is noth
ing of importance to transact is to weak to
be heard.
The Trustees of one of the best colleges in
this State adopted the rule some years ago
I am told, that if any of the board were ab
sent two consecutive meetings without good
reason their names were to be dropped and
otiiers chosen in their places.
Let the Trustees watch the progress of the
Institute with untiring devotion and an im
portant point will have been gained.
Secondly. There should be a change in
the matter of tuition.
It is believed that SISOO. is sufficient to
pay the teachers to run the school for a year.
SBOO to pay the principal and S4OO the first
and S3OO the second assistant. Indeed there
are many eminently qualified and successful
educators in this State now engaged in their
respective places for much less sums than
tiiese.
The endowment of the Institute is now
paying in semi-annual cash dividends three
and half per cent or SIOSO. per annum, which
is perhaps a fair average of what it has paid
for the last ten years.
The Institute received last year from the
common school fund near $150; but as the
per cent going to each common school scholar
is diminished as the whole number of such
scholars is increased in the county, it is per
haps not safe to count certainly on more than
SIOO from this source. This sum added to
the annual dividends gives us sllsO. which
leaves only $350 to be raised by direct per
sonal tuition from the scholars, to raise the
sum neacssar}' to run the Institute a year.
This $350 equally divided between the whole
number of scholars in attendance for a year,
now supposed to be sixty, will give to each a
little less than SO. Or in other words should
each scholar pay into the treasury of the In
stitute the sum of of six dollars a year it will
raise a sum sufficient to run the Institute
continually.
It may be contended that the Institute can
not V>o supplied with first class talent for
SISOO a year, I insist that it can. But let
me admit that it cannot. A few dollars ad
ditional from each scholar will certainly be
quite sufficient for this purpose. It seems
to me that no one would object to the pay
ment of $5 for every scholar entered for the
session. This would give give us SGOO esti
mated upon the number of scholars men
tioned above or $1750 a year to operate the
Institute.
It may be said also that if this plan should
be adopted that the number of scholars will
so increase as to require perhaps five teach
ers instead of throe. Let it be so. This is
very desirable and probable. But as the
number of matriculates increases so also
will the sum of their tuition increase.
If we should have 150 scholars per annum
the aggregate of their matriculation fees
would be SISOO at $lO each. This added
to sllsO makes $2*350 a suin quite sufficient
to employ as many teachers a3 would be
needed for that number of scholars.
But it is suggested that if this plan be
adopted the present buildings would not be
sufficient to accommodate the school. Let
that matter adjust itself, but lot us do the
greatest good to the greatest number.
Perhaps it may be said that teachers could
not be employed on this plan unless the
Trustees guaranteed their salaries. Let the
Trustees withhold one or two dividends and
commence'this plan with at least one divi
dend in hand. This will enable them to em
ploy teachers with absolute certainty.
I see no reason why this plan should not
work well. I have had it under considera
tion for several years and the more I think
of it the more anxious I am that it be adopted.
One of the greatest obstacles in the way of
the prosperity of the Institute is the fact that
neither Trustees nor teachers can tell inqui
rers in advance what their tuition will cer
tainly be. This is always attended with hes
itancy and reluctance on the part of patrons.
Many would prefer to pay even a higher tui
tion could they but know in advance what
it would be. Some on inquiring have ex
pressed their opinion as to what the probable
tuition of their friends would be but have
missed it so far that they are unwilling to
say anything in regard to it in the future.
And cannot hope for an improvement in this
while the present plan is in force.
I wish to say more in this connection but
cannot ask more space now.
A. J. Kelly.
Tribute of Respect*
In memory of Martha C. Barnett daughter of
P. F. and Elizabeth Nunn, who died on the 20th
day of June 1880, leaving a husband anu 4 small
children to mourn her loss, but we would join in
with her in her dying words and say weep not for
her but weep for yourself.
She was born in Madison county Ga., in 1840
and was married to J. G. Barnett in ISGG with
whom she lived to the time of her death.
She was a member of the Baptist church for 20
years of which she was a light that shineth in dark
ness. \>y her example she showed to those
around her that she was a Christian and lived a
Christian life.
To her children she was a fond and tender mo
ther and an affectionate and dutiful wife. On her
dying bed she said that she was not only a pro
fessor but also a posessor of that faith that makes
strong the Christians heart when all earthly help
has failed.
The heart no longer feels a sigh,
The soul no sadness knows;
All tears are wiped from every eye,
In the home where Christians go.
