On Tuesday night, according to in.
formation we received in Youngsvllle,
Herbert Mooje, a White man of the
Youngsnlla community, reported to)
Mr. Pearce that Joe Cannady was sell,
ing whiskey and ottered, to SO *withj
whiskey. For Borne reason a Consta
ble or other officer could not be comr
municated with sb arrangements were
made that Mr. Pearce would deputize
his son, Hugh, and with him and
Moore he left Youngsvllle about 12:30
A. M. to go to Cannady'a house. Up
on arrival Moore knocked on Canna.

for iU At this time Mr. Pearce step
ped ?|I i si tald fllwadT te consider {
himself udder arrest, whereupon Can
nady reached for hie gun, and accord
ing to Moore, shot at him (Moore)
stating that "you double.crossed me
and I'm going to kill you first." The
shooting started and Hugh advanced
to assist his father when the negro
shot a bullet through bis breast kill,

lug at J. R. Pearce. In the shooting
Mr. Pearce received a bullet in his

The negro was killed on the spot.
Mr. Pearce^ with the assistance of

Upon arriving home he sought med

in Raleigh. Reports from the hospi.
tal authorities was to the effect that
Mr. ? Pearce's wounds were serious
but not necessarily dangerous.
Coroner Parrish was called on the
case early Wednesday morning, but
found no necessity for an inquest and
only summoned Mr. Moore to appear
at Court as a witness.
The shooting occurred at Joe Can.
nady's home at Long's Mill, near
Popes churc]).
This Is one of the greatest trage
dies that has ever happened in the
Youngsvllle community and will serve
to make the witlMnship more deter
mined In the enforcement of law as
a reprisal for- such an ugly attack up
on the officers of the law. .
To make the occurrence more sad
Hugh Pearce was a promising and
bright young fellow just entering in.
to young manhood. He was seven,
teen years old on Tuesday before his
?u' rder
Joe Cannady, according to informa
tion received, until about five years
ago was considered a good negro, po
lite, accommodating and law abiding.
But since that time has begun deal
ing in whiskey and had developed an
ugly, mean disposition, it has been
said that he Was heard to say on an.
' other occasion that no officer should
ever arrest him.

This year, as last year, we Can not
take children who will not be six
years old before Christmas; the
school is not run as a kindergarten.
The school law is plain; in justice to
the children who are six years ot
age and to the teacher who is to
teach them, we will be compelled to
adhere to this rule. It Is also a spe
cific order of the Dodrd of Trustees.
The Supt. will be in the office
Thursday afternoon, August 25th and
each day thereafter till the opening
day; office hours from early In the
morning till late afternoon, with a
little while off tor lunch. Come to
the school; ask any question that sug

reasonable, we do not?promise t*r]
"agree with yon. The good of the en

individual.
By.the-way, a number of children
did not tost year complete the work
of the several grades: such pupils
can not be promoted to the next
grade, unless they can show that the
teacher has made a mistake or that
they have done a lot of study this

SWIMMING POOLS
I have been frequently requested
to pass on ths danger of bathing in
the various ponds in and around
Loulsburg. All bathers nscessarily
imbibe, water in the nose, throat, and
ear frequently causes diseases ? ot
these organs. Polluted water, even
In a small quantity, when swallowed'
may produce typhoid fever.?' * r\
I have had Jackson's and Simon'
Williams' pond water analysed and
they both Show pollution There ts4
danger in swimming in these ponds '
All other ponds ip this vicinity, I feel
confident. If analyzed would show the
same pollution.

lutlon by Colois Jteccl hs follows: '
"Typhoid Bacteria "do not originate

human excreta. Their isolation from,

unfortunately their presence is not'

"Itoe Colon bacillus is an inhabitant

Its presence in so small a quantity as

and if found in one cubic centimeter
it Is still more significant of pollu

people attended the meeting of the
Board of Trustees of Louisburg Col
lege held at Sir Walter Hotel at JLal
eigh, Saturday to press the deatree of
our people towards the retaining of
Mr. A. W. Mohn as President of Louis
burg College. After several fine
speeches the Trustees obliterated
their past action of accepting Mr.
Mohn's resignation from the minutes
of the previous meeting, and gave
him ten days to get his release from
the new firm he had eogdged with
The Trustees also unanimously ap
proved a campaign to raise a million
dollars for the College immediately
It is understood that Mr. Mohn had
tendered his resignation after the
Board had refused to carry on the
campaign to complete the building
program of tbe College as promised
to the people of Franklin County
when thev contributed $150,000,09 to
the College ^building program.
In conference With Mr. Mohn yes
terday we learned that he had not
fully decided just what action wonld
be taken but would probably ha In
position to give-the information ear
ly next week.
Louisburg and Franklin County are
hoping he will remain at the head at
the College and put over the
der of "the building program.
