Charlestown, South Carolina. July 15. We hear by a private
letter from Philadelphia, that one Mr. [Bolton], who
formerly kept a dancing school, ball, assembly, concert room
&c. there, being convinced that such a practice was contrary
to the Gospel of Christ, has lately set up a school for
teaching children to read &c and that up on his giving
notice that he would teach Negroes also, had in 23 days no
less than 53 black scholars. For this he was sent for, and
arraign'd in court, as a breaker of the Negro law, but on
making his defence was dismiss'd. And the next day order'd,
by the foreman of the grand jury to continue his school
without interruption.
