TELEPHON* NO. 44. Entered at the Host offlec nt Abbeville, Ga.. ax socond-class matter. THURSDAY, JAN. 5, 1899. ('ol. J K Bivins, president of the Viist National Bank of Cordele, died nt Dr Allen’s private sanitarium, two miles from Milledgeville, a few days ago where lie had gone for treat ment. Col. Bivins was a prominent and influential man of that city, and will sadly lie missed. Col. Edward T Brown, of Athens, lias been appointed attorney lor the tV & A railroad in the place of Col. W A Wimbisli. Col. Brown was the campaign manager for Governor Can dler and did some excellent service. It is right that he should lie reward • ed, Besides he is an able lawyer ami eminently luted to occupy that position. To Th,e Board of Education. AitiiKYii.u:. Ga.. Dec.. 27 1898. To the Editor of Tiik (’ukonhu.v : Please allow me the space in your paper to refresh 11m minds ol the citizens of a few tilings that might be of interest to some. I am very sorry to see the present situation of out school (colored.) There was a charter secured from the legislature to run two schools in (Ins (own, and was granted by that honorable body. It lias been said that the school would not run the specific, time that .said charter was asked for. So a good many concerned in the interest of the upbuilding of the town and for the advancement of our school. We notice that the school has only one teacher at present, and said teacher in order to hear the classes, jias put second-class raeders in third reader classes and some of them can scarcely read in said book. We earn estly nndupru'yfolly ask the town Board of Education to remedy such, as we were under the impression that it was a graded school. Since said school lias been In op eration we should have three or more teachers by this time, and behold! we only have one. Something must be wrong in the machinery of our school because, where there is fric tioi> il will soon cause a wreck, un less soon remoded. So we ask the Board of Education to remedy such rhings that will cause our school to retrograde. We ask the members of the Board to v isit our school and ask questions of cm rent history that our children might know and learn to familiarize themselves to white faces. A distinguished while gentleman gav# our school a visit a few days since and asked several that the children should have known but flould not answer one until he came to the Oemulgee river; but by chance one smart little fellow re membered that he had gone fishing with his father and knew where it was. The excuse Prof, made that his white faces was the cause. What a pity. W 11.11 Kl.M. Hoirible agony is caused by Piles. Hums and 8km lMsvascs.

A FALSE STATHMENT. 11 is reported that a certain indi vidual who claims to he a servant God. and one seeking to do good mankind; one whose duly it should lie to foster all good and nolile insti t u t i o n s wherever located, | is traveling over the country ostensibly to sell fruit trees but takes every opportunity to do some injury to the Abbeville Normal College and Business Insti tute by making erroneous statements concerning this institution. He claims to be a frielid-to it, but at the same time says il ear,not exist. He says he is deeply interested in its welfare but in the next breath says it wil not hist three months on ac count of funds, that the board of trustees owe the teachers 8000, and they are going to leave, etc. Now this brother may not have any evil designs in this silly miseheivious talk, but why does he not better in - form himself as to the true state of I affairs and lie would then be in a po siliou to do this institution some good if he were so inclined. The truth of the matter is. this institu tion is compelled to exist* for live years at least-. $280,000 worth of property is bound for its existence. > he board of 1 rusteos does not owe 'he teachers a cent, neither docs the town. The contract with the teuch ere lias been fully carried out to date, and they arc encouraged daily by the arrival of new pupils and by good families moving to town toedu cate their children.
