Of all tha methods of the Ro manists to cripple and destroy the publio school system by impairing its efficiency, none is more effect ive than the prevention of the erection of buildings adequate for aeoomodattou of all papils , This is don through Romish obstruo tiooists on boards of education, the difficulties inter posed by Romish fity officials in the obtaining of building permits,, and the raiding Of school fuDdi by Romish free I footers. A fair example of tbese tactics is found in the action?of liitchel, New York City's Knight iof Oolombus may r, in vetoing a ibond issu for the night schcole and following this by slashing four ; million dollars from the general isjohools appropriation. Tfee ef fsotive results of this Romish war lare against our free sobools and in favcr of the parochial school can bt seen in tht following x cjrpt from the report of Commis jidoner Hall which was hcludUd in tjie offioial report cf the beard of education of Biughamton, N.

The school spirit ii tnpre than usually satisfactory, aa reason 1 -r tb crowded coud i fin over there is because of the transference of a class (from the parochial sohool into Jarvi9 street. This was done by the desire of the parents, because out of a class of nearly forty, ranging in ages from is to ten years, that has been to the parochial school over two years, not one can read a word of anything intelligently -and the parents desire that they shall come to a aohool where they will be taught in the proper wiy. The teeobers in the parochial sohool have been young girls and bys from a grade equal to the seventh grade in St Mary 's Home that nave been employed as extra teachers over there, and their own rowded condition wae each that it was impossible to properly take ears of the. children. They are perfectly happy Vin that sohool, only they mourned for their papils that have gone out into other schools, and the teachers cry be cause they . wSit their children back here.

Judge Lane, who last week heard Hooper's plea of gailty forfthe larceny of a cow wired Judge Shaw that the sen tence should be three montha but with permission to hire. . In the meantime Judge Shaw had writ ten Judge Lane that he tried the joung men who were working for Hooper and that they had done thres months' time. Their trial took place while Hooper was out of town and he thought Hooper should have the same kind of sen tence. If Judge Lane replies to this letter and is still of the opin ion that Hooper should be hired out this will be done. Otherwise Hooper must go to the roads. Hooper at the time of the alleged larceny was running a meat mark et and wsa a well known business man of the city. It seems that the original sentence, that Hooper serve a term with privilege to oe hired out by the commissioners, has been definitely settled. Lee Savage, escape, mistrial, nol pros with leave.

Every now and then we have a real grand jury, one that under stands what needs to be done and does not hesitate to do it. Of such was the last one as its report, given below, will indicate. The Watchman does not rejoioe that conditions are such in our neigh bor town as to justify the grand jury, whioh was oompesed of hon est and capable men, in making the charges and recommendations it did. Rather we would have it the reverse, but if the charges are true, whioh we have no reason to doubt, it waa right and proper that the jury should have taken aotion. It seems that the mayor of Spenoer, wh ie also the recor der, has oalled a meeting lor Fri day night to disousB the mailers, when, we presume thoser making the charges, have done so in good faith, thoroughly understand the situation, have the Leoeisary evi dence, will be on hand, will not Ije howled down and will give a good acoount of themselves.

Shaw, presiding: We, the Grand Jury of Novem. ber Term beg to report as follows : We have acted on all bills of in dictments presented by the Solici tor and on all other matters brought to our attention . By committee we inspected the Sheriff's office, offices of Clerk of the Superior Court, Treasurer's and Register of Deeds and found same in ft neat, olean condition and the publio doouments and reoords in all offices are neatly and cleanly kept, in files where they are properly protected and of easy access for reference . By committee we visited the county jail aud found same to be in sanitary condition. We found that the heating f i oilities are not sufficient aud re commend that one more radiator be placed in a suitable plaoe. We find everything in good shape at work house, in olean con dition.' At the county home we find twelve inmates, eight white and four color d, a home that ev ery citizen of Rowan county should be proud of, -although we fjuLd some repairs on nouse snon as patching of roof badly needed, on acoount of leakage, and recom mend that m)re help be furnish? d the Superintendent, By committee we visited con vict camp No. 1, we find 16 oolor ed and 4 white convicts all we)! fed, oared for and clothed and n sickness, the stock is also in good condition.

"We beg to report .that we have thoroughly examined conditions as they exist in the town of Spen ber with regard to the enforcement of the law and hive examined a number of prominent witnesses of Spencer and we find that the criminal law i not being duly and properly enforced, and we also find that the reocrder's court of Spencer is a useless and unneces sary court. We also find that all the business transacted in the re corder's court of Spenoer can be transacted in the Rowan County oourt whioh is a court for the whole connty. rnereiore we re commend that that the Spencer recorder's oourt be abolished." .

The eighty fifth auuul eessioif of the BaptUt State Conv n ion, opened Iue?da evening, Dcemlri?, in the au ditorium of the First Baptitt church of Charlott, gives every indication of beinjj spiced with interesting featur&i,ai.d of being fraught with the &ott momen tous and far resoling results of any convention held within the last decade and a hajf. The Pas tor's C Deference began Monday night with a sjrnton by Rev. Bruce Benton, Rockingham Dr. A. T. Robertson, of j he Louisville Seminary, And Dr. fa. G. Evans, Fa., made the principal addresses Tuesday. V The convention opened with the introductory sermon jbv Dr. Thos. W. O'Kelley, pastor of the First Baptist ohuroh of Rleigh.' Tuesday evening, at 7:80. The organiza tion of the body followed. Perhaps the one outstanding feature of the convention will be the election of a oorrespoding sec retary to take the place of Dr. Livingtston Johnsoowho resign ed some we ks ago to aooept the pastorate of the First Baptist ohnrch of Rooky Mount. Dr. Johnson bat held this' position fitteeu yean, five years longer than juy one elBe has ever held it, and led the missionary forces of the Baptists of this State to signal vio lories . His recent triumph in raising more than $66,000 for State missions, thus enuabling his board to go to the convention with praotioally a clean sheet, is perhaps the most notable of all his victories.

At a meeting of the Iredell Poultry Association held last week it was unanimously decided ; to hold the next annual poultry shbw at Statesville January 5. 6, 7 and 8. Statesville and Iredell have made quite a reputation on their poultry shows and it is the pur pose to sustain that good reputa tion in this season's exhibition. Officers of the' association for the ensuing year were elected as fol lows : R. A. Cooper, president ; D, Matt Thompson, vice presi dent; B. L. Sronce, secretary and treasurer; K. L, Miller, aiBistant secretary and treasurer; J. D. Cochrane, superintendent and general manager of the show rooib. Around Newport. Carteret Co , there are alligators in abundauc and they arexsometimes a menc to pedestrians. However, it was not until a few days ago that one of the critters had the honor of holding up the United States mai for a period of two hours. The alligator in question was encoun tered by a rural carrier a short way out of Newport and he at once exhibited signs of preventing anyone from passing that point oif the road in which he was lying. Mr . R. F. D. carrier at onoe drew his revolver and fired seveh bul lets into the critter, but these proved of no avail and it was no until a shotgun was brought intt aotion that his alligatorship was dispatched. When the smoke of battle had finally cleared away it was found thst the oonfliot had consumed more than two hours. Jaok Bivins, a negro of some 60j odd or 70 years, was struck and instantly killed by a west bound Seaboard passenger train six milei Friday afteTrnidh B.vins, in oompany with three other negroes, was walking in at cut and attempted to cress the traok in front of the looomotive, some part of which struck him in the temple. Bivins lived at Marshville. News of a bold but unsuccessful attempt at robbery took plaoe at Ernal station, a few miles from New Bern, Thursday night. An unknown negro entered the small grocery store of L M. Basden at that plaoe, who had gone down to the railway station for a few min utes, and, being alcne, there was nothing for Mrs. Basden to do but to open the cash drawer and hand out the cash according to the blaok's request. She went arouud in the rear of. the counter, opened the drawer and instantly picked up a revolver whioh was lying iu the drawer. Aiming the weapon at the Negro she pulled the trigger and fired a bullet at him. The black at onoe made a hasty re treat. Lse Jarvil, one of the three par ticipants in the shooting up of the home of W. M. Mehaffee in New hope Township, Iredell County, a week ago Saturday, surrendered to the Iredell County officers Sat urday morning 'phoning Sheriff Deaton to come for him whioh the sheriff did, bringing the prisoner baok with him. Jarvis was given a preliminary hearing before Mag istrate W. J. Laseuby, confessing to his part in the shooting, and in default of a $500 bond, was com mitted to jail. Jarvis gave as his reason for surrendering, the fact that he was tired of lying out in the woods in the oold and in addi tion his wounds reoeived in the battle with Mehaffee were troub ling him. It was found that more than 55 No. 6 shot had pene t rated his leg just below the thigh and in addition he had severe shot in his lett nana ana one in his stomach. In his confession today Jarvis implicated ' Joe Nioh olson, father of Rush Nicholson, one of the men said to have been in the crowd that did the shoot incr. and stated that the elder Nicholson, who has a bad repute tion both in Iredell and Wilkes 0ountiesr was a blookader and bad man. waa tha father of the German Pfotlerc Mncefr Indications irs That Eastern and Westers Gonspiiatois Were Working Together. wew xork, Dee. 4.

I The arrest today in San Fran; I oisoo of Baron von Brinoken, who I claims to be oonneoted with the, I office of the German Consul Gen-1 eral there, is regarded here as one I of the most important made in several weeks. The baron, accord-! I ing to the information here, was a prominent figure iu the plans of C. O. Crowley, arrested in the same city charged with plots against munition factories. More arrests are t ) be made in the Crowley case and important developments are looked for when all the witnesses the Government is seeking reach San Franoisco and give their testimony. Although officials would not ad mit that a direot connection has been established between the Crow- ey plots and those in whioh Lieut. Robert Fay and his accomplices were implicated in New York, it is understood many facts point to such a oonneotion. If this proves true, , the Department expeots within a few weeks to have com pletely defeated plans Nationwide to interfere with munition ship- ments in the Jliait to England, France and Italy, and in the West to Russia. plot to shoot up the MehaffeesJ Their original plan, said Jarvis was to kill the entire family and then burn the house.

The liquor act of the 1916 gen- oral assembly stands and all judges who have deoided cases ia the lower courts are affirmed.

The opinion of the conrt is elab- orate and is wiitten by Justice Al Men. The constitutionality, of the Webb Kenyon law is oonsidered end npheld. In passing npen the constitutionality of that act tha court says: 'Gongren has not attempted to delegate the, power D "41 te or to grant a power not possessed by the State or to adopt State laws. It has taken oourse and made its'bwn regulation applying to these subjeotl of interstate oommerce one eommon rule whose uniformity is not affected by va- nations in state laws in dealing th sujh property. ' Applying this principle to the North Carolina statute, the oourt holds that inasmuch as the Webb- Kenyan aot makes it unlawful for intoxicating liquors to be reoeived tu any state in violation of the laws of that state and as the North Carolina quart law makes it unlawful for a citizen to receive more than oue quart of liquor within 15 days, tne North Caro lina statute is properly linked np with the federal statute and tthat therefore the judgment of the oourt below holding that the plain tiff was not entitled to recover this liquor was correct." 1 he Raleigh' base will go to the United;States Supreme oourt if it oan be carried.
