MET WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Citizens Take Lively Interest in Oraded
School Building Sliull It bo One Cen
tral or Two or More I- Committee of
Nix Appointed.
In response to a call by tho
school board of the towu a good
ly number of the citizens came
together Thursday night in the
Mayor s hall to compare opin
ions and offer suggestions for
the iudicious appropriation of
tho proceeds of the bonds re
cently sold.
Mr. J L Crowell, while not
unfavorable to one central school
building, suggested the building
of another house about the grove
this side of Buffalo mill.
Dr. W H Lilly strongly en
dorsed the idea of a second build
ing. Mr. J W Cannon was equally
strong iu his preference to one
central building. This idea mot
with favor, but while it seemed
the sense of all that the present
site is well located the lack of
room was embarrassing.
Mr. VV G Means suggested a
committee to ascertain the sizo
of the lot at the graded school
and whether it could be enlarged
by purchase of land. He favored
a contral building if the lot is
sufficient.
Mr. DB Coltrane, the chair
man of the board, informed
inquirers that tho present build
ing could not in all probability
bo utilized in erecting a central
building, though an architect
would bo employed for expert
opinion beiore action shall be
taken.
Mr. C D Robbins believed that
factory children would attend
school better if houses were
built that would not necessitate
their mingling with children of
different styles of home-life.
Mr. W G Means vigorously
ombattod the suggestion and
wished to obliterate such lines
by disparaging the idea that
thero is any difference to be
recognized between one child
and another.
Mr. Cannon endorsed the idea
ind said he insisted upon one
ceutral building on this very
idea that there be no distinction
between children.
In explanation of his build
ing school houses at the mills at
Albomarle he said it was from
necessity and not from choice.
The graded school building there
is not capacious enough for the
number of children.
Dr. Lilly still thought that the
success in getting factory chil
dren into the schools would bo
promoted by coming to them
with the schools.
Mr. J A Kennett thought that
tho gratifying attendance in the
upper grades from the factories
promised little trouble on the
score feared by Mr. Robbins.
A very gratifying interest was
manifested as was shown hy a
very general expression of indi
vidual opinions and ideas sug
gested by the discussion.
Finally a motion preyailed
that the chairman of the school
board appoint two members of
the board and one citizen, not a
member, and that the mayor ap
point two members of the town
board, and one citizen, not a
member of tho board, to form a
committee of six, to inquire the
size of the graded school lot and
to ascertain whether adjoining
land could be obtained to make
the school lot larger if desired;
also to ascertain the chances to
get such property as they would
recommend for school purposes,
and to report at a called meeting.
Messrs. B E Harris, M H
Caldwell,. J L Crowell, G T
Crowell, G W Brown and J W
Cannon were appointed. The
meeting then adjourned.

in an said.
"I returned one Invoice yes
terday I found what I expected

"What will bo the total amount
of frauds ?"
"That I cannot say certainly
not at this stago of the investiga
tion. That it may have been a
considerable amount you can toll
from tho fact that the duly on
the silks varies from 90 cents to
3 per pouud. If goods that
ought to havo been classified so
as to pay $3, really paid only 90
cents, the difference would be
considerable, especially if the
woight returned were less than
the real wo!ght."
"Would tho loss to the govern
ment reach a million dollars ?"
"All I can say is that if the
sort of thing I refer to has been
going on for several years, the
loss to the government would be
a very large sum."

WILLIAM MONROE TO HANU.
Tried and Convicted Within Three Days;
Will Hang In Thirty Days From
Dabs of Crime -No Pleading- Jury Is
Out One Minute and Twenty Seconds.
William Monroe was brought
into court Thursday afternoon
and a jury impaneled. Mrs.
Martin and other witnesses were
examined that established his
guilt so clearly that there was no
pleading by the lawyers. Judge
Hoke reviewed the testimony
and gave the case to the jury.
They filed out into the jury room
and in one minute and twenty
seconds returned with a verdict
of guilty. Judge Hoke then pro
nounced sentence naming Friday
Sept. 13th between the hours of
10 a, m. and 2 p. m. for him to
be hanged, just 30 days from the
date of his crime. There seems
to have been no haste and no
delay and general satisfaction is
expressed even by the people of
Matthews who are deserving of
special commoudation for not
aiding the mob demonstrations.
Inherited Heroism.
A Charlotte special of the 14th
to the News and Observer tells
the following story:
Jackson Christian, son of Mr.
W E Christian, and grandson of
Stonewall Jackson, proved yes
terday again his soldier cour
rage and spirit. He was looking
down a small air rifle with which
he had been target shooting,
when the rifle went off. The
ball struck the point of the nose
and ploughed its way to a point
just under the left eye, where it
lodged.
The little follow made no out
cry. Mrs. Jackson, who was
asleep in an adjoining room,
knew nothing of the accident
until a physician had extracted
the ball and bandaged the wound.
Young Christian telephoned for
the physician and requested that
his grandmother be not disturbed
but be allowed to get her after
noon nap.

Almost f Repetition of lNUS-Tldal

Drowned and Shipping Injured.
Our abundant rains here
Thursday night wero but the
exhausted force of a storm along
the Gulf coast that were close
akin to tho great storm of 1893
which destroyed so many thou
sands of lives.
Every wire along the coast
about New Orleans alid east to
Pensacola is down, and commu
nication is indirect. There has
been some loss of life. One
family of fifteen, including nine
children, were swept away near

all were drowned. A number of
boats are known to have been
lost, and it is feared many lives
have been lost with them. Ves

ashore and flooding houses and
offices.
The wind at Atlanta blew 50
miles per hour.
It is hoped that the storm
didn't strike Galveston this time.
No little disturbance to travel

over and Mr. Beam could not
drive out. His wife and four
children were in the carriage.
He grabbed his two year old
child and hurried to the bank
with him. Mrs. Beam was ex
cited and saw no means of escape
from drowning and screamed for
Mr. Beam to bring the child
back and all go down together.
Mr. Beam got back to the car
riage, parted the cover and took
out Mrs. Beam and struggled to
the bank with her, the other
three children holding fast to her
clothing. Gastonia News.
A special to the News and Ob
server from Asheville, under
date of August 13, says: Jake
Garrett, a white man, living
near Paint Rock, was killed this
evening by the east-bound train
on the Southern between Hot
Springs and Paint Rock. He
had been to Marshall where he
had a case in court suing the
road tor killing his little girl.
The case was not to come up till
the last of the week, so he start
ed home on the 4 o'clock train.
He had a ticket to Hot Springs,
so the conductor says. The
conductor put him off twice after
leaving Hot Springs, but he
claims that it was at stations
each time. The engineer on the
7 o'clock train saw him kneeling
with his head on the rail ac the
very spot where his little girl
was killed, but wa? unable to
stop in time. Garrett's head
was badly crushed and his left
ear cut off. He was brought to
Hot Springs and left in charge
of physicians who said he was
dying and would not live twenty
