The attention of the Gazette has been called to some misstatement, of facts which appeared in its columns two or three weeks since in an article tinder the caption of “The Reserve Fund.” There ( was no intention of reflecting upon the character or do ing any one un injustice. The article was based upon faulty information. In the editor’s search of tiie school law for the facts he carelessly but unintentionally over looked paragraph 21, which express ly provides for the purchase by the several County Boards of Education of maps, charts, etc., and pay for them out of any surplus school fund they may have on hand. We note further that Commission er It rad well, in an interview publisli- cdjin the Atlanta Constitution April 221, admits his use of the “reserve fund” whs an unauthorized usurpa tion of the rights of the several Boards of Education. This being true the Gazette accounts for the use of it in the manner stated upon the hypothesis of a loan and that the money will be refunded next winter. The article in the Valdosta Times was based upon a conversation between Commissioner Williams and Prof. Smith—an attache of the paper,— and is substantially correct, though Commissioner Williams did not in tend or expect wlnit. lie said to be published. The Gazette has the utmost con fidence in the integrity of Commis sioner Williams, as well as the mem bers of the Boaisl of Education of Berrien county and believe they are performing their duties faithfully and fearlessly,and with mi eye to liesl interest of the whole people with ti due regard for the law.
