"Report the disposition and feeling of the white people towards the freed people as expressed by words or actions."

A few of the whites are well disposed toward the Freed people, but a great portion are desirous of taking every advantage of them. Those who have employed them for any length of time, appear to treat them with consideration, but the majority are not backward in exhibiting their contempt. 

EDUCATION. 

"Report the feeling upon the subject of education; what steps have been taken to promote the same; what efforts the freed people are making in that direction and in what manner they may be assisted, &c., &c."

Very little effort has been made on the part of the whites to educate their own, much less the children of Freed-people, The latter have made no efforts whatever, within my Knowledge. As there are very few Colored children in the town and widely scattered over the County, I can suggest no means of assistance since the former school (of about 19 scholars) was abolished.
