fl SWEEPING REPLY.
(continued.)
Gailiard, Dec. 15, 1890.
I promised in ray last to continue my
reply to M. D. I think I have made, ,n
my iirst fevv reply, a showing that there is
but a meu Jiving who have been
tax* d to educ .te any one.
He speaks of our fathers as educators
133?? were Willing Wcre to submit t0 - 80me to e ? Du teut taxed i ** to

t j me were not ^fc to nav the tu tion.
They J were too proud, 1 so-called for iheir
children to be educa ed by the
people. S mie other- tl at were able
were too selfish or contrary to send
unless the school house was exactly at the
spot to suit their faucy. Oth. rs would
no j. send because the teacher didn’t suit

run the school according ® to his tactics
Others would not send that were well
able, but too st ngy to spare the time,
worked their ihitdreu until they were
grown, and never 1 aimed them to read
and write. Well, that is the cau-e of so
much illiteracy among the whites in our
