OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
What Is Being Done In Them.
Lost week by the courtesy, and in the
company of Prof, and Mrs. Neely, wo
paid a very pleasant, though somewhat
hurried, visit to. the Public Schools,
white and colored, of this city.
These schools have been established only
two years, sud have made remurkable
advancement for so short a time; th'eir
system equalling in most, and excelling
in some respects the long organized,
justly celebrated gruded schools of the
North. This proficiency is of course
largely due to the energy and ability of
Prof. Neely and his efficient corps o*
"helpers,” ns well as the enterprise of
the Board of Education, the hearty co-op
eration of parents and the application
and attention of tho pupils. We every
wbero noticed the good order and
prompt obedience that prevailed. One
custom we particularly approve is that
of holding only one session of soliool a
day, beginning at 9 o’clock a.m.. and
closing at 2 o’clock p. m. In the North
the practice is to hold two uesaitMis of
throe hours each the first from 9 to 12
a.Jm. the second from half past ono to
half past four p. m., making six hours in
the schoolroom, audan extra walk to and
from their homes in the middle of the
day, through the heat or cold, as the sea
son may bo. We think the same amount
of good can be accomplished in the one
s ssion with less fatigue to teachers and
pupils, besides having more time for
study and recreation at home.
The white schools occupy the old Col
lege building, which has lately been re
fitted and changed so as to secure more
room, convenience and a better en
trance. Last year the second story,
which was used us a hail, was
divided into apartments
commodate the new grades made neocs
sary by the increase of attendance. There
are six departments, beside the junior
department of the high school. Tho
high school attendance numbers 65, the
grammar 69, intermediate 76, and pri
mary 148.
Beginning with the "babies," under tbo
kindly chargo of Mrs. A. E. Brown, we
listened to a reading lesson, very well
done for "six year old’s.’’ The room was
very quiet and orderly, although it was
near the close of tho school and the little
ones were tired. In the next grade, under
the care of Miss Ruth Brown, the entire
school engaged iu spelling. They stood
on tho floor and were "turned down” ou
missing a word in the good eld fashion
ed way, and for a time wo felt (iu sym
pathy) the trepidation with which a
place was maintained, or the sinking at
heart when obliged to pass below. The
next in order, third primary, is taught
by Miss R. S. Cowles. Hero we saw
cIass in notation and numeration, the
pupils rending nnd writing numbers
quickly j\nd accurately. In the inter
mediate department, of which Mrs. A. F.
Wilson is principal, a class in geography
was reciting, after which the school en
gaged in a very interesting exercise in
calisthenics. Tossing on to the gram
mar school, over which Miss Mary C. Be-
thuno presides, we found inathemutics
the tberao under consideration. The
problems wero wrought very quickly
uud correctly, but Mins Bethune told us
she had puzzled her class a short time
that morning with tho examplo in pro
portion contained in Tuesday’s Record
er. The next room which is the junior
class of the high school, Mrs. J. H. I)c-
Jnrnctto instructor, was engaged in an
interesting lesson in grammar and analy
sis. The class seemed to understand
themsolve* nnd their lessou, and ana
lyzed the sentences quietly and thor
oughly.
The high school, under Prof. Mathis,
was last visited. The senior class was re
citing on astronomy, but our stay hero
too short to note much except the
quiet nnd order that prevailed here, as
in all the rooms. The graduating class
numbers 13 and will hold their com
mencement exercises June 15th. Miss
Cora Prince receiving the first honor,
will deliver the valedictory, and Miss
Laura Brown, upon whom the second
honor is conferred, will give the saluta
tory.
To leave the College and not call upon
Prof. Schneider would be to omit a
duty and lose a great pleasuro. The
Prof, is a great devotee to his chosen
science, nnd has lately finished and fur
nished his music room with great taste
and beauty. The floor is nicely carpet
ed and the walls frescoed, making the
musical department an elegant and
beautiful adjunct to the public schools.
THE COLORED SCHOOLS.
Thero are four primary, one interme
diate and one grammar school, all taught
by colored teacher. Those teachers
have been educated for this work, some
at the Atlanta Colored Institute, others
elsewhere, and this fact is an indication
of the marvelous progress these people
have tnude in the last sixteen years. The
schools appear to be well tuught and well
disciplined. The primary teachers are
Eliza Jones, principal, Elia Shepherd,
der was excellent. A large class in spell
ing was on the floor when we entered.
The lesson was composed of extremely
difficult French words and the scholars
acquitted themselves well. The gram
mar deportment, the highest in the c”l
ered schools, numbers 35. It is in the
Baptist church, G. F. Phillips teacher,
One class in grammar and one in word
analysis recited while we were present
The teacher informed us that it is diffi
cult to keep a sufficient number attend
ing school long enough to take a thor
ough grammar course, a great many
leaving after the intermediate grade, for
work of different kinds.
Prcf. Neely says the great need of tho
colored schools is a suitable, convenient
building, the rooms now occupied being
separated from each other and small and
otherwise inconvenient to accommodate
the number of scholars, which,is larger by
nearly ono hundred than the white pu
pils, there being 358 white and 456 col
ored. In All the schools] it was easy to
recognize the guidance and influence of
Prof. Neely, who dearly loves his voca
tion, uud seoms to be a* well loved by
teachers and pupils, in return.
Altogether we consider our visit an in
teresting and profitable one, which w e
hope nt some future time to repeat.
PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
Mr. 8. W. Dixou, of Eufaula, is in tho
city.
Mrs. Ethridge, of Perry, is visiting her
daughter, Mrs. T. M. Furlow, Jr.
Miss Leola Harrison returned Friday
night from her visit in Collode. #
Capt. Lyman Hall, of Kirkwood, is vis
iting his parents and friends in the city.
Mr. Judson Hyatt, of Montezuma, was
down to take in the dance Friday night.
He reports Montezuma flourishing.
Miss Lizzie Mathews, of Atlanta, came
Saturday to muko a short visit to her
friend, Miss Currie Stewart, of Oak Hill.
Mr. W. K. Pilsbury, city editor of the
Republican, was ill on Friday last, nnd
the services of the old reliable, Mr. Frank
Hill, had to be called in.
Our statement about Mr. Zac. Bell re
covering was incorroot, as wo were in
formed Saturday that he is in a very pro-
catiious condition, and is very low.
Mr. Jesso Sanlter, living uboat 7 miles
west of us, wbo bas been quite ill with
bronchial troubles and pneumonia, for
the post three weeks,is now able to be up.
Dr. Hinkle is attending him.
While in Smithvillc, last week, we were
impressed with tho strange Actions of Dr.
W. A. Smith, tho popular young drug
gist, and after a careful diagnosis of his
symptoms wo came to the conclusion that
ho had a sovero case of matrimonial fe
ver, and we expect every day to hear that
he has been numbered among the thou
sands of victims of this infectious tits-
Frlelny Night.
It seoms that this is getting to bo the
only night in tho week that amusemonts
and diversifications can be held on.
Last Friday night was an unusunlly in
teresting one to our young people, nnd
probably for our older ones also, but we
are not as well posted on their move
ments, ns experience seems to have taught
them to bownro of the reportorial fiend. At
any rate wo have tried to do our duty
toward them.
An impromptu ball was held at the
Barlow House on this evening, atid was
well attended und enjoyed by those
present. Prof. Kessler's band was in at
tendance, and tho lads and lassios whiled
Away several bowitobing hours in tho
pleasures of the terpsicborenn art. The
ball was under tho management of Prof.
Hart’s dancing class, nnd was, by those
present, voted a success.
Prof. Bush’s weekly soiree was also
held on this night, being well attended
by his pupils and their friends. The
Prof, is quite energetic, os was shown
by the fact that ho had a fins amateur
orchestra gotten up by his own exertions,
that furnished good music for him.
And last, but not least, was the meet
ing of the Belles Lettres club at tho resi
dence of Capt. Adams on Jackson street.
Wo don't wish to mnke any remarks that
will be at all distasteful to the club nnd
drag them into public notoriety, but wo
would like to kiudly remark that tho
meeting ou this night was a most enjoy
able affair, and fully showed that tho
young people have taken the matter into
their hearts and intend kcneftttiug them
selves by being members.
Reached Americas.
It is hero at last. We refer to tho es
thetic craze. Ho far it is sporadic in
form,' and is confined to Cranberry's
Corner. It has gathered force, however,
by the concentration nnd Messrs. Davis
& Callaway are both said to be quite ill
•ith tbo malady. So violeutf aro their
symptoms, in other words, so (Oscar)

of Art, that tboy are having even their
oil cloths printed with pictures of wild
boars, blood hounds, and naked babies.

AN ANSWER.
ADVERTISEMENT.
Americus, Ga., March 18th. 1881
Mr. Editor:—Will you allow me spade
iu your paper to correct a mistake made
in your issue of tlio 17th inst., headed
"A Statement.”
It would not be wise iu me to resort to
the public press with such u thing, but in
self-protection I deem it my duty to do
so, in order that those that 1 have been
tried by in Americus and elsewhere, be
fore I heard of the Sons and Daughters
of Jacob, may not be misled by false ie-
ports. I think that when any person
goes to the press with their privnto busi
ness it does them more harm than good.
Ho the article that appeared against me
calls for an answer from me, nnd I slmi!
be able to say all that I need to say nt
ibis time. This is my home, nnd Die ob
ject of tho piece is to stop me at home,
this they will not bo able to do, after the
other side is heard. There will bo a pub
lic meeting on next Thursday night, the
23d, for the benefit of those that would
like to know the facts of the case, so wo
invite all, white and colored to attend,
1 am willing for the public to know my
nets and they shall know them. And
there will be nt the Hireling more than
one Harris that is utile to show light
upon the subject. Ho 1 ask all persons
who desire to bring facts to light to come
out
I do say, nnd am able to prove, that
every thing the said R. H Slappey, ns lie
calls himself, has said is a falsehood
This I will prove at our meeting. Who
would not lmve left any older, who
made an assessment on January 21st, '82,
according to*tho laws of tlie Institution,
and up to the 10th of this month hud not
paid the assessment—The council de
stroyed my lint; had they not the right
to give me another? Hero is the trans
action of the Cuthbert Lodge: I received
of them $25 00 for their charter, and ac
cording to the contract the whole $25 00
was mine. This is what I done with the
money.

Total M 20
This left a balance of 320 80. This
sum, Morns, the Supreme Grand Master,
took and gave me *10 80 and kept 310 0(1
for himself. Where is the 312 00? Is
not that a lie? Ii. 8. Slappey was seventy
one miles from me, and out of my 310,-
80 1 paid my railroad fare from Macon to
Americus whicli whs32i 16.1 was getting
*40 00, uud the Supreme Grand Muster
|60 00 |ier month, where should the
whole 320 80 hove gone? My business in
Macon was to got time to pay the assess
ment, the time being out. This lie did
not do. I was offered in the council by an
unanimous vote, any state, except Geor
gia, I should want, if I would call in the
charter. This I refused to do. Then
they said I was expelled for iiincly-nino
years, and the next duy lie offered me
tho work hack again. Ninety-nine year,
pussed off in one night V
About the undcrminclng it ail false.
Why did twenty-one members leave one
Lodgo in one night ? I have not seen
the Lodge at Butler. Why was tho
Mucon Lodge cut down us it was. I
did not say any thing to them! Why did
the Lodges in Stewart, Webster und
Itandolpb fall? I did not have any
thing to do with them! Bid not Ihu
Fort Valley Lodgo say that they were
treated wrong and a cuso was made of it
before I ever saw them! and many other
tilings will he shown on Thursday night
All the above appears upon record. Aa
for It. B. .Slappey, I let him have some
money to feed Ids children beforo his
mouth was out, nnd Unit is n part of my
forty dollars that tlmy paid iuu, ami tliut
money is due me now from him, besides
oilier money to'save his name at other
place, and that I lmve a receipt for. So,
Brother Slappey, you know Ihu threats
Hint you made to muuhoulllicSupreme,
ns you cull him? Did you not petition
for mo to bu removed fiom being Ihu
Kupreme Grand Scribe ? Did vou not
undermine me in that act? If you will
look on my hooks nnd letters you will
find them all correct, und not a cent
missing, no way whatever. I shall not
have any thing more to do with tlio
f tress, as these are fuels. I do this to
et the pcoplu know that I am not afraid
to speak. As I said in the cuuncil it Is
not my desire t® make a fight. I leave
the matter with you nnd will answer no
more letters.
Ho, Brother Slappey whcti your child
ren cry for bread again come and I will
help you. You havu taken bread out of
my chihirens mouths for yours and yet,
Oh ! what a devil! If you nro not afraid,
what made you cry look out ? Look out i
You ought to have made this cry before
you got my money. He, Ibut is clear,
