6 DEFICIT 111 THE SCHOOL FUND Ex-Sheriff of Currituck Coun ty a Defaulter. SHORTAGE OVER $2,600 tTHE COUNTY SUPERVISOR’S LET TER TO SUPT. MEBANE. BONDSMEN TRYING TO ESCAPE PAYMENT The County Board of Education h s Secured Couniel to Bring Suit Against Teltell and Bondsmen. Teanhers Clamoring for Their Pay. The echoed fund of Currituck county, is in hard lines. The teachers have not been paid and are clamoring for their money, blit their is nothing in the treasury to liquidate their claims. A letter to Superintendent Mebane, from Dr. Ritter, the county supervisor, states that the ex-sheriff has embezzled the school funds for 1807. The letter is dated the 2nd, and roads as follows: “When I was elected to the office of j County Supervisor of Public Instruction Lo succeed Dr. Pitts, deceased, I found that the sheriff had not paid into the, treasury the money due the school fund for the year 1807, and I began to press, payment with the result that it has been found that he defaulted to the amount of between $2,600 and $3,000 belonging to the school fund, whereupon I inline-; dintely entered suit in the name of the County Board of Education vs. Edward Tettell and his bondsman. It appeared at our meeting, yesterday (the 2nd hist.) that some of the bondsmen think they: sCe a loop hole by which they can es cape payment, and the Board instructed Mr. J. E. C. Beal, the chairman to em ploy an attorney to fight the case. This deficit has placed us in a very unenvia ble light, and the teachers are clamorous for their money, and if you will kindly give me what advice you can in regard to the best course to pursue in order to bring the matter to a speedy settle- j ment, I will appreciate the same. Our | next term of court begins the first Mon day in March, and I am very desirous, if the suit has to be pushed, that I go at it in the proper manner and the least expensive consistent with security. J The sheriff’s term of office has expired. ! and his successor has been elected (find j from reports the ex-slieriff is not/'able j to pay the deficit.

The Pledges Made to the People Must Be Faithfully Carried Out. Gatesvile, N. C., Jan. 3. To the Editor: Phase permit me to commend the News and Observer for the bold stand it has taken for economy in ' the administration of our State govern ment. That was one of the pledges made to the people and that pledge ought to be carried out in good faith. Every useless office should be abol ished; every unnecessary officeholder dis charged .and every excessive salary re duced. The people of North Carolina, as a rule, are in no condition to condone extravagance in our Legislature; and if the Democratic party wishes to retain the confidence of the people, it must be as careful with the people’s money, as an honest and prudent man would be with his own. Many places have been made with fat salaries attached, not because of any public necessity, but merely for the pur pose of benefitting some individual. All such legislation Is a gross injustice to the people. There ought to be a pub lic necessity for every cent appropriated by the Legislature. ‘That principle was, to some extent, forgotten in 1891 and 1893. and the rev olution of 1894 followed; and the open and wanton and notorious violation of it In 1895 and 1897 did more towards bringing about the great upheaval of 1898 than most people imagine.

BARS ON TRANSPORTS LIQUOR SELLING TO SOLDIERS ON BOARL SH.PS STOP^tD. % Mpjor Harrison fells of Bets tfiih a Gaenish Mold Upon it, and Dec'arfs it Perf-cily Good. Savannah, Ga.. Jan. 4.—Two weeks ago, Hugh MeClair, formerly steward on the yachts of E. I). Morgan and TV. C. Whitney and then steward on the trans port Roumanian, was discharg'd by. the ship’s quartermaster. MeClair sai l it was because he had demanded of rhe quartermaster his share of profits made from the ship's store room. Among oili er things he claimed that the quarter master was doing a rushing business aboard ship and pocketing the profits. Subsequently MeClair was arrested < n an affidavit by the quartermaster charg ing him with having stolen government silver. To-day however lie was dis charged from custody by the United States Commissioner. Since McClair’s story became public Depot Quartermas ter Bellinger and Depot Commissary Ruthers have been making an investi gation. What they found has been em bodied in an official report which went to Washington last night. 1: is staled that Quartermaster Wrigley, of Hie Rou manian.and the quartermasters in charge of the Manitoba have been recommend ed discharged from tbc service. Stringent orders have been issued from Washington in regard to the carry ing and selling of liquors o n the trans ports to soldiers. The sale of liquors at one time must have come close to the verge of a scandal. Nearly every one of the transports was running a bar and getting rid of considerable liq uor to tho soldiers, something said to have been unheard of before on a mili tary transport. On some of the trims were exorbitant prices and big profits in was exorbitant prices and big profits in the business for the stewards of some body. The selling of liquor appears to have run on for some time before the general officers got their e.ves on it, and tin'll there was a speedy stoppage to it. NO CHEMICALS WERE USED. Washington, D. C.. Jan. 4.—Major Hopkins, military aide to the Secretary of War, testified before the war invos.i gating commission regarding sanitary conditions at the camps at Tampa, Camp Thomas, and Camp Alger. It was the old question of sinks, drainage, and camp police, and the testimony of the .witness was little different from preced ing witnesses. Major Harrison, Ninth volunteer in rfantry, whose regiment was raised neat New Orleans and is now in service at Santiago, was next called. Concerning commissary stores, lip said those in the United States were the best that coultj be bought in the open market. The refrigerated beef sent from this country, he said, was excel lent. He had had much experience with refrigerated meat and he said that while there was some disposition on the part of the regiment cooks to cavil at the appearance of the meat, it was in real ity quite good. He explained that the sudden change of temperature on remov al gtlie meat from the refrigerator ships produced what is known as a “beard.”a greenish growth that had to be scraped off. When this was done, the meat beneath was perfectly sonnd. It was served to the men with excel lent results and benefitted the sick ma terially. The chief trouble came when the change was made to hoof cattle sent from Porto Rico. This beef Major Har rison killed himself and personally super intended its dressing and cooling. “But it would not cool in that climate,” he said very emphatically. “The meat never lost its animal heat and with its use our sickness increased 10 per cent. In a country where the dead putrified in six hours, yofl will easily understand that meat killed and exposed to the atmos pheric changes with coagulated blood and the attacks of flics will spoil much sooner. Our board of survey had no work to do except condemning and burying this local killed beef.” Os the canned meat Major Harrison spoke with equal emphasis, saying that it was fully as good as the refrigerator beef, was well received by the men, und none of it had to be condemned. Witness said he was thoroughly famil iar with the processes of refrigerating and butchering meat, and was willing to state positively that there were no chemicals used in any of the American beef that passed under his observation. He regarded it as highly improbable that anything of the sort had been attempt ed. TORTURE CHAMBER OR PANTRY Havana, Jan. 4.—The afternoon pa pci's today sent a thrill through the city with a report that a torture and execu tion chamber had been found at the res idence of the Spanish military governor, adjoining the palace. The papers de clared that there the Spanish officials questioned and murdered political piis oners. According to their accounts, the floor of the chamber was covered with dried blood and its walls was indented with matehetc strokes. An excited crowd soon gathered ont sidtv the residence, which was lust oc cupn'd by General Parrado. The re ported torture chamber is a room about eight feet by eight feijt, just off the dining room; As a matter of fact it was probably used as a pantry. Tn the wall there is a dirty iron bar, evidently used to hang meat on and a piece of dis colored rope is suspended from it. It is inconceivable that General Parrado practice torture next to his dining room. For purposes of better military con trol, the suburbs of Havana have been placed under General Ludlow’s com mand and the detached companies of volunteers and police in the suburbs have been removed from General Fifz hngh Lee’s command to General Lud low’s. COLONEL MABRY’S DEATH. Havana. Jan. 4. —Col. W. H. Mabry, of the First Texas regiment, who was attacked last Saturday with cerebro spinal meningitis, died this evening. Women are naturally given unto self denial. No one ever heard of “Jennie the Kisser.’* IN MEMOII!AM. DR. KEMP BATTLE BATcjIELOR Feinp Battle Batchelor was) born i:i Lr.’eigh.

He was educated there n*d at the University of North Carolina., and in 1887 begin the study of inediyinc, lrs choice from childhood, at the University of Maryland, in his second tonu he was for a time disabled by severe illness, yet in spite of this disadvantage in 1881) he was at the head of an aide class gold medalist and winner of the Mijteiiborger prize. lie at olive began the practice of medi cine in Bnltitno’-e. The industry and fidel ity of his academic enre!r had attracted ■ th(> notice of one of (lie foremost of his late instructors. Dr. J. E. Atkinson, who associated with himself 1 In- young phy sician. Ikh'iime bis strong helper, his life long friend and th devoted and beloved attendant of bis last illness. With such help, facing liis work with the unflinch ing. unvaunting courage which was one of his chief qualities. Dr. Batchelor en tered almost at once on a carrer of rare success. lie gained th confidence of his patients by his personal attraction and held it by his skill and devotion. In 185)1 he married his first, his only love. Fitting mat: for so rare a soul, rejoicing in his success and cheering his adversities, the wife lie chose so well was the best treasure he asked or could receive. To them were born three chil dren. lovely like themselves, now best comforters and dearest responsibilities of her widowed life. Dr. Batchelor was a man of g ent strength, physical and nontal. Confiding in that strength. h<> worked as his prac tice increased too hard for even such a frame as his. Driven by bis sense of duty and bis intense personal interest in bis patients Ire continued ties work after bis skill bad detected the premoni tory symptoms of illness in himself, and finally, on Saturday, the 18th of Decem ber, after completing a round of visits where few were as sick as the phy sician. .he was prostrated with pneu monia. »«ever man had better, mnr« skillful or more unremitting rare. Night and day those who were his loving friends b so-c became his doctos and nurses, watched by his'bedside, sparing nothing that talent, study and devotion could suggest for comfort and for cure. But tin' days of his working wore done, and 1 on the 24th of December the Master lie had served gave him rest. So the strong man died. A short rec ord? Nay. how shall we call it short! Shall we measure men l>y the days they have lived or by the work which tliov have done? From the radiant soul which has passed away a light has shone in dark places. From contact wT’> that pure brave life which h<>« r>-u..,i hero no man or woman ever caught a stain, and many, touching if. have been taught the beauty of good against evil. "Who knows th • record as it is read today by the angels? In all ilia life—in liis thinking. Ids speaking and his acting—lie walked pure from Its mother's arms to the arms of Ids God. The faults and +ho follies in we shall hear no more and draw comfort from the sound. Women in the peril of childbirth have heard in his footstep th** forerunner of help and of strength to give life and to live. Tiny lips, t use in nn ehildisli pain, have dimpled into child hood's smile as his words went warm to childhood's heart. These are the harvest, he garners: and lie goes not empty-hand ed to Ilenvcn. that untiring industry that made up his mentality? Or how shall any merely human pencil draw a picture of him who laughed with his follows, worked strenuously day by day aiming men. studied deeply th** most materialistic of professions, yet never wandered one mo ment from his God?

As we look with mere human eyes it might seem that to such a worker a longer tiny should have been given; that so great a mind, so strong and pure a soul, granted so short a term, wore but wasted. With longer time we believe that In* would have done so much more: gained s »mm;h more of success already begun; been counted so much higher among the great tint's of the earth. It may well be so; but there is another computation, lie who was born near 1900 years ago in Beth lehem, whose birthday even now the habit's oehbrate, had one title, full of tenderness which our dear one here de parted emulated. lit* was tin* good physician. In this life which seems so short, tilt* discinle followed where the Master led and the hands that were cru cified have worked through the hands we folded yesterday. Gone,, bearing his sheaves—-anil these are they: lie has healed the sick anti brought comfort to misery. The dying clinging to his strong helping hand have found courage to face the great secret. The dull ear of an guish has hoard that strong gentle voice which so many ft-; t of the young men are snared may have tempted him. If they tlitl In but leaned the more on (lit' strength above and passed untainted by. Had his purity alone? commended him the value of his example would be above the price of rubies; and lie joined to it a strength of will, an earnestness of purpose, a warm enthusiasm, a steady devotion, which have made h s short life rich .in good to all ammul biro: a fit gift to bear to the gates of Heaven. Nor was he dull or unsocial In all social gifts few men have surpassed him. Ilis humor was free ami sparkling, and it never hurt.

MEN VS. APPLES. This Avorltl i« like an apple barrel. If you to think will stop; You’ll find the bigest men and fruit Are always at the top THE OTHER SIDE LOOKED INTO. To the Editor: Permit me through the columns of your newsy and ably edited paper to make a brief exj lunation to a certain circular letter addressed t«» the cob rctl people of our State*. This circular purporting to l»c signed by certain leaders, in a liiunn r advises tin* colored people to emigrate to parts out of the State, the representatives of the ratt> to m et in'Raleigh on :in ea ly date ami organize to this end. and while there assembled to memorialize' and d c t ttc to the present legislature hat kind of laws to lie passed for the cob red peo ple who of their own gootl sense should decline to mitigate, but rather remain in their own beloved Carolina. The cir cular takes two positions. It must be that the leading name on the circular has an axe to grind, for the reason 1 do not believe be has the slightest nor the remotest idea of leaving the State. A cunning rabbit r turns to bis den before it stops snowing. An ignorant rabbit returns to his den after its stops snowing. Consider the ways of the cunning rabbit and call in your circular letter. To the colored people of North Carolina (my race): Don’t let anybody keep you at unrest by t "ling yon tin’s Legislature is going to <1 sfrau cliise you and pass a lot of other bad laws against the colored people. My colored friends, this present Legis lature is rated as the wisest and most brainy of any since the Civil Mar. Tin'll again this Legislature is constituted of Carolina’s most hon orable sons in principle*. learn ing and art* versed in the law of right to man and to races. Again: I think I read in some paper that two of the leading Democrats said in a public speech at the colored State Fair: “Tin Democratic party is too great a party to make laws hurtful to one portion of her citizens.” ’ I have never believed that the Demo cratic party was a self-constituted enemy to my race. \\V arc told. Mr. Editor, that sick ness. sorrow, pain, principalities nor death cm separate a child of God from tin' love of God sht'd abroad in his heart. So in case this Legislature should adjourn without putting the “Jim Crow Car” law or the disfranchisement as to the colored race tin the statut" books, then sickness, sorrow, pain, principali ties nor death will ever separate a ma jority of the* colored people of North Car olina from having faith and confidence in the Democratic party. Then good government in every coun ty in North Carolina is assured for the next on hundred years to come. (Signed) ISAAC 11. SMITH. Raleigh, N. C. A RAILROAD WRECK.
