Luke lloii-h Assaults and Almost KilU
Miss Lena Keith and Pays the Usual
Penalty.
Miss Lena Koith, a highly re
spected and prominent lady near
McFarland, about 12 miles from
Wadosboro, was assaulted Wed
nesday, the2Ist, and was prob
ably fatally injured by a negro.
Luke Hough, who was quietly
caught and hanged and 6hot al
most to pioces.
The young lady was about 20
years old and was living with
her brother, who had just gone
to town. The wretch went into
the house and asked for him.
The poor girl in fright told him
false. The negro knew that the
brother was gono and picking
up a chair felled her to tho floor
with a stroke. Having accom
plished his foul purpose he at
tempted to cut hor throat with a
dull knife.
He left and even dropped the
knife. She came to and made
her way fefb!y to a near neigh
bor's, falling unconscious in the
yard. When she regained con
sciousness she told the sicken
ing tale.
The negroe's knife was found
and recognized' and he was soon
caught washing tho ladie's blood
from his clothes He confessed
his gulit and was put in the
lockup. Soon a mob took him
near the scene of the crime and
drew him up by a rope over a
limb. A fusilade of shots riddled
his body.
Bloody Battle in Court.
A Water Valley, Miss., dis
patch of the 21st says:
"A desperate shooting affray
occurred at Reynolds, in Panola
county, ten miles north of Water
Valley this afternoon in which
"four men are wounded, three of
them fatally. It is thought the
circumstances leading up to the
difficulty as related by Senator
Earl Brewer and Hon. J G Mc
Gowan, lawyers from this city,
who were retained in the ,case,
are as follows: Otto Johnson
was being tried before Justices
Shel and Warner's court on a
charge of soduction. The evi
dence was all in and the justices
had retired to make up their ver
dict. More than 100 men were
present in the room at this time
when suddenly a shot was fired,
supposedly by Otto Johnson.
Instantly other shots were fired,
fully half a huudred in all, and
when the smoke cleared away,
Otto Johnson had three bullets
through the body, Len Smith,
who testified against Johnson,
one through the breast, J W Daw
son, one through the breast and
the father of Lon Smith one
through the arm. Otto Johnson,
Len Smith and Dawson are fa
tally wounded. Others had nar
row escapes. All parties are
farmers.

WISE COUNSELS FOR Til El 11 HACK.
Farmer's Conference Heak8 to the Peo
ple Wet Education and Hume lie
Cleanly.
At the Farmor's Conference
at Biddle University, Charlotte,
Thursday, the following paper
was read and adopted as tho sen
tin. 'ills of the body:
"The ago in which we live, our
immediate conditions as well a6
the importance of taking into
account whatever may im
prove out future environments
as farmers and home buildors
justify this second annual gath
ering of the "colored farmers of
Mecklenburg and adjoining
counties. The time is past, if it
ever really existed, when the
farmer can live unto himself.
There are mutual interests which
must lie considered in tho light
of new and advanced methods of
work. There are community re
lations aud mutual interests ex
isting between us as colored
farmers and those of similar
mutual interests as between us
and the white people who are
the principal owners of tho lauds
and control the capital involved.
Providentially and by virtue of
the laws of economic existence
what affects one affects all, aud
consequently what aids one aids
ull. 1 hose principles have gov
?rned us during the conference
ui'.d it is therefore appropriate
l int we make the following ex
1'iossion :
"i. The right education of the
youth of the race is of first inv
portance. We note with pleas
ure the growing interest of our
school authorities on this behalf.
Our people are urged to avail
theirs Ives of the opportunity
afforded for the education of the
children. Connected with every
school house in the country there
should be facilities i? only in a
small way, for instruction in
those things which the farm
homo builders must do in after
Mfo. Thus educated there will
bo a deeper interest and greater
contentment with rural life. We
favor compulsory attendance at
school.
"2. We believe it to be of im
portance to the race aud to the
country at large as well as good
I'm-individual welfare, that our
vouti,- people be encouraged to
suck to the farm, in order to
do this more than right educa
tion to begin with is necessary.
There should be ceaseless care
for them and every inducement
should bo ottered to have them
remain at home. The tendency
to enslave them while parents
loaf over the country or about
Charlotte and in villages, or sys
tematic harsh treatment will
drive the boys and girls from the
so called home into trie city and
often to destruction at the first
opportunity.
:J We deplore the idleness
and criminality so flagrant
among the young about us who
have far too many bad examples
aiiiuiig Ihoir elders. We most
earnestly appeal to parents,
teachers and the ministers of the
Gospel to bend their most per
sistent and energetic efforts for
improvement in this direction.
In this connection and with the
desired end in view we would
suggest that night gatherings,
religious or otherwise, in tne
country districts be discouarag
ed, aud in place of these lat par
ents keep thoir girls and boys at
home ;ind train them iu the les
sons of morality, truth aud duty.
Parents should set the example
of working six days in the week
themselves and influence tho
young to see that work is honor
able in all.
"4 AVe note with growing
confidence the administration of
justice in the courts aud the
iVith fulness of officers in the
il.chai'gu of their responsible
duties. The law must bo upheld
r. ii criminals of all races and
cU: ssos dealt with according
thereto in order to the general
good of all. The orderly ad
ministration of justice imparts a
seuso of security to' every honest
man and enlists his sympathy
and co-operation as against the
the criminal class. It deprives
that class of supposed encour
agement and sympathy and
gradually weakens it and re
lieves the community of the
criminals.
"5. We again urge upon our
people the duty of securing
homes and improving them.
Buy land if it is only an acre
Build a little home there and im
prove it.
"6. In public places be as
cleanly and tidy as possible.
No one has a right to render
himso'f offensive to his next
door neighbor by disregarding
tvM ordinary requirements in
iu this respect. In this connec
tion attention is called to the evil
of our women gathering about
the recorder's and Criminal
Courts. No woman should ever
enter such a place unless com
pelled to do sounder the law.
"7. Wo would call to the at
tention of the landlord class the
fact that it is mutually advanta
geous to both parties concerned
that the one room cabin be de
stroyed and that they be replaced
by better houses, and on the
other hand we urge our people
to improve their surroundings
by planting fruit tree and culti
vating gardens, although they
may be only tenants. This will
servo to tho benefit of all. No
latidlord wants to got rid of a
tenant who improves his farm."

period of the Revolutionary war.
He commended Allen's History
Stories of North Carolina and
the Hon. Jno, D Bellamy's speech
in Congress on the Croatan In
dians as collateral reading. H;s
efforts have met with much
favor.
Prof. Baird gave a lesson on
arithmetic, bearing chiefly on
fractious, both common and dec
imal. His ideas were brigh, clear
and practical and wore highly
appreciated.
Prof. Coler resumed the treat
ment of the infinitive and also
covered the ground of the par
ticipial. His handling these two
forms of the verb has received
many expressions of approval
by the teachers.
Prof. Bentheim gave a lesson
on drawing that was unique, in
structive and delightful. No
feature of the institute probably
has sprung more pleasure in the
iustitue as this.
ANOTHER ASSAULT.
Mrs. J. M. Fields is Attacked by a Negro
Mau Who Runs After She Screams.
Mrs. J M Fields, who lives on
what is known as the Tyler

by an unknown negro man yes
terday morning. She had been
to Laying's store, in Seversville,
to make some purchases and re
turning home she passed through
a pine thicket close to the rail
road. Here a large negro, wear

carrying his coat over his arm,
accosted her, catching her by the
thro;it and arm. Mrs. Fields
cried out. and the baby that was
in her arms also screamed. The

A ood Showing for the Thamesrllle
Orphanage by Mr. Johnson tien. Toon
Speaks Hit Life Saved by Concord
Citizens.
Mr. Archable Johnson' and
Gen. Toon spoke at the Baptise
church Thursday night. Mr.
Johnson being so intimately as
sociated with the Thomas-
ville orphanage made that
his special theme. It was
a good showing that he pre
sented. It was beguu 15 years
ago on faith, not a dollar. Its
work has enlarged and broaden
ed till it has sheltered 800 or
phans and has representative
men all over tho land, notably it
sent out one printer who is work
ing on the News and Observer at
1,200 a year.
He said tho Baptists have not
a millionaire in the State and
that he is glad of it. The means
are more evenly distributed.
Last year the contributions to
the orphanage were $20,000, a
sum far above that of any other
like institution in the State. The
institution has a 300 acre farm
and the boys work on it in the
afternoon and a neat income is
gathered from it. Printing is
taught at the office of Charity
and Children. Teachers in the
school, matrons and others work
at very moderate prices and the
total cost of providing for these
children is $4.83 per mouth per
capita.
The speaker was duly religious
in his vein but stopped to correct
our mistake in calling him
"Rev." The mistake is too slight
to correct for we dare say that
nine out of ten of that audience
would vote with us that if he is
not a preacher he ought to be.
We made the mistake also to say
that he edits Charity and Child
ren at Oxford, to vhicb he called
attention. -This was a slip with
us, for we knew better, but then
that is not as bad a mistake as
Charity and Children made a few
days ago in denouncing our "pet
phrase," "of near." The whole
discourse'was cheering and bright
and was well calculated to excite
due pride in the cause.
Gen. Toon followed in a talk
(he said he had quit making ad
dresses, having made but three
of the things in his life and had
won in marriage in two of the
instances.)
He felt that there was little
left for him on the subject of the
orphanage after Mr. Johnson got
through . His remarks on the
orphanage and his educational
work as State Superintendent
were timely and inspiring.
He prefaced his remarks by
referring to an incident 40 years
ago that has made Concord a
dear spot to him, though this is
the first time he has had the
pleasure of seeing the town aud
its people since. It was as fol
lows. He was fearfully wounded
in the battle at Petersburg on
the 25th of March, 1865.
Travel was broken into and he
was trying to get to Raleigh.
He was brought around by Con
cord and being more dead than
alive was found by Lawyer Dan'l
Coleman and was taken iu and
nursed. He fully believes his
life was saved thereby.
The most serious feature of
this Panama situation is it may
bring on another dispute in the
uavy department. Ex.
At Murphy, in Cherokee coun
ty, more than one hundred of the
citizens are on trial for burning
a church of the sanctihed or ho-
iness people, and driving out ot
that county all their preachers,
after having whipped them.

Speak- Teachers Association It cor -gan
xe.
Today was & busy one in the
institute and it closed the work
of the week.
The first hour was occupied by
Prof. Coon, who took up the
subject of primary arithmetic.
His method was to teach the
numbers themselves and then
the form of the written number.
He says let the children acquire
the number concept as the race
acquired it, applying their know
ledge of number to things, not tc
relations of volume. By using
objects and not the symbols, he
explained how he would teach
a child the simple processes ol
addition, subtraction, multiplica
tion and division. His method,
though a tedious one, had many
things of value and interest.
At the close of this period Gen.
Toon, who arrived last night,
was formally introduced to the
teachers. He expressed hi6 great
gratification of being able to
meet with the teachers of Cabar
rus and of seeiug the great in
terest that was manifested in the
work of the Institute. He said
that he came not to work him
self but see others work.
The Institute then took a re
cess of about five minutes, dur
ing which time the General
mingled freely with the teachers.
Mr. D B Coltrane was intro
duced to the Institute and made
a Short but very earnest talk to
the teachers on their duty to
train the youth of our land to be
masters of the forces of nature.
He alluded to the fact that the
habits and personal appearauces
of the teacher, too often, de
stroyed all the effect of their
teaching. He spoke, also, of the
influence that the personal habits
of a teacher had upon the school
commissioners in the selection
of teachers.
Prof, Brooks continued the
same general outline of history-
study which he had already be
gun.
Prof., Alexander Graham, of
the Charlotte city school, was
present and gave an instructive
and highly entertaining discourse
on etymology as related to phy
siology. Prof. Coler concluded his ser
ies of lectures on physiology and
made a strong plea for thorough
ness in this study as well as in
all other branches. He said that
the personality of the teacher
must be impressed upon the
pupil the important element in
teaching is the man behind the
method, He must teach, instruct,
drill and then test his pupils.
This closed the work of the
morning session.
During the intermission the
Teachers' Association of this
county met for the purpose of
electing officers for the next
year. Prof. G F McAllister was
elocted president, Prof. S JLud-
wig vice-president and Miss
Laura Leslie secretary. With
these able and enthusiastic offi
cers at its head we think the
Association will make its influ
ence felt In the county.
AFTERNOON SESSION
Prof. Brooks made a brief
review of his weeks work in his
tory. His work for the entire
week was greatly enjoyed by
the teachers.
Prof. Coon completed the work
on Arithmetic that he began in
the morning.
Prof. J D Lentz gave a short
lesson on teaching Arithmetic as
is outlined by Colaw and Ell-
wood.
Our Superintendent, Chas. E
Boger, made a talk to teachers.
He spoke of the duties and re
sponsibilities of the teacher for
the coming eight years, and
called attention to the rewards
that he thought would be given
