Davidson Superior Court. This
tribunal is in session, His Honor Judge
Cloud, presiding, and it ha3 proved an
interesting term, inebtate vs James
W. Elliott, who was tried and convict
ed of the murder of J. F. Harriss, at
the fast term and who obtained a new
trial on a technical point, was removed
on affidavit to Forsythe county.
State vs Isiah Sharp: indicted for
horse stealing, was tried and resulted
in a conviction. 1 he accused was sen
tenced to nine years iu the State prison
His Honor allows him a credit of one
year for his imprisonment already.
State vs Susan Lowman, larceny, was
tried and the accused was sentenced to
three years in the State prison as a cook.
"Honor to whom honor is due." Judge
Cloud has done more to put down crime
than any other Judge on the bench.
Special Term for Rowan. Judge
Cioud testifies thajt there is such an accu
mulation of civil actions on the docket
of the Rowan Superior Court as to re
quire the holding of a special tetm, and
suggests that the second Monday in
August be the time for holding said
special term. The calling of the special
term meets with the approbation of
the entire balisbury bar. A petition
signed by all the lawyers practicing in
this Court has been sent to Governor
Caldwell, asking that an order lor the
special term may. issue that Judge W.
A. Moore be appointed to presiae.
Tiie Election. The municipal elec
tion for the city of Raleigh occurs to
morrow. As a matter of course we
expect the "Dutch to take Holland."
The Conservative party have no regular
candidates in the field and no general
interest is taken in the result. There
are two candidates for Mayor. Col.
Wm. Dallas Haywood, who for several
years filled the office acceptably to the
people, is the independent candidate,
opposing the regular , republican nomi
hee, Wetley Whitaker, Esq., the present
incumbent. Mayor Whitaker has served
only one term, and, so far as we are able
to judge, filled the position as well as
any other man of his party could have
done. The question is. choose you be
tween the two. There is only one ticket
for Commissioners in the Western Ward,
which are the Republican nominees, aijd
we naturally expect a great falling off
in the vote in this ward.
In the Middle Ward where there is a
Conservative majority of about twenty
five, the candidates, besides the Repub
lican nominations, art? W. C. Stronach,
Dr. G. W. Blacknall, K, P. Battle, J.
Ruffin Williams and W. T. Clawson.
In the Eastern Ward, besides the Re
publicans candidates, Messrs. Alfred
Upchurch W. G. Upchurch and John
Armstrong are candidates.
As party lines as lar as we are concern
ed are obliterated, we are only interes
ted on the gas and water questions, and
hope our citizens in casting their votes
will think of the importance of water
works and lighting the city with gas.
Oxford Items. Our corresponelent

ten? ay's date :
Mrs. Lizzie Bobbitt, daughter ol
John L. Jones, and wife of John T.
Bobbitt; a young merchant at Tally
Ho, N. C, died on Fiiday May 2d. It
seems only a few days ago that she was
decked as a bride, and now she has
H been summoned to the tomb at the
early age of twenty by an inscrutable
hand, but one "that doeth all things

Mr. Benjamin Person, one of the

he believes will answer most excellently
the object he has in view.

Thequ2stion of the Coventry road

of counsel, F. H. Busbee, Esq , as the
matter was irregularly before the Board.

port from the Committee appointed to
examine into the matter.
The Board adjourned to meet again
on Saturday next.

Educational. The following letter
from Piof. Mclver, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, to the Chairman of
the Board of Education of this county
in reference to the payment of the sau
ries of teachers, the collection of school
money lrom Sheriffs, etc., has been
handed us for publication. The
letter explains itself :
Office Superintendent of )
Public Instruction,
Raleigh, May 2d, 1872. )
Chairman County Board of Education of
Wake county.
TSiu : In answer to your message, I
respectfully call your attention to sec
tion 9 of the school law, ratified Feb
ruary 26th, 1873, and section 9 of the
school law,ratified February 12th . 1872.
All orders in payment of teachers
wages for schools taught prior to
February 26th, 1873, should be signed
by the School Committee aud counter
signed by the Chairman and Secretary
of the CounfyBoard of Education.
All orders in payment to teachers
wages for schools taught sinceFebruary
26th, 1873, should be signed by the
School Committee, and paid by the
County Treasurer out of the school
funds apportioned to the township in
which the school is taught, which ap
portionment the County Board of
Education should immediately make in
accordance with the provisions of sec
tion 30 of the school law. '
If the school is taught partly before
and partly since the i at ideation of the
present layv, the order in payment of
the teachers wages should be signed by
the school committee and counter
signed by the chairman and Secretary
of the County Board of Education.
So much of such order as may be in
payment of services rendered prior to
February 26th, 1873, should be paid
out of the general county school funds;
so much as may be lor services rendered
since February. 26th, 1873, should be
paid out of the school money appor
tioned to the township in which the
school is taught. - -J
Allow me in this connection to beg
your attention to your duty, in regard
to collecting the school money from the
Sheriff of your county. The Treasurtr
imforms me that not a dollar of the
School taxes of 1871, (poll taxes) nor a
dollar of the School taxes of 1872, has
been paid over to him.
The puople of Wake county have
paiel these taxes, and they are entitled
to have the public'sdlOQls for the sup
port of yvhich they were lefieiLand coN
lected. The people have paid .the
taxes, and the chilelren are without the
schools, because you do not do your
duty in compelling the Sheriff to pay
over. I understand that you are of the
opinion that the Sheriff paid the taxes
ol 1871 to the State Treasurer. This is
a mistake. Let lite beg you to do your
duty in regard to this matter.
Very respectfully,
Alex. McIver,
Supt. Pubflc Instruction.
Major Bingham's Lecture. The
subject of Major Bingham's lecture at
the Peace Institute was the superiority
of the Anglo-Saxon rce. The lecture
had been previously delivered at Hills
boro, Charlotte and Wilmington, and
perhaps other places, and as it i3 proba
ble Major Bingham will be called upan
to deliver it at several other points, we
forbear a lull report thereof, as he might
prefer that we. should give only the
leading points, f
Major Bingham proved that ths
Anglo-Saxon race started out
lanelless and single handed, but now
occupied and owned large proportions
of.the area of the civilized globe. That
they were superior to all other nations
on land and pre-eminent on water. That
they excelled all other nations as pion
eers, as orators, as poets, as inventors, as
novelists, as statesmen, as soldiers and
as apostles of religion. While the
Germans were superior in music and in
scholarship, they could not cope with
the Anglo-Saxons in mauy of the walks
of literature especially in dramatic
works and fiction A handsome
tribute was paid to the German mas
ters t music, to Goeth and other dis
tinguisbeel men of that nation, who in
their respective fields were unsurpassed
and unsurpassable. The French were
given credit lor inventing the Daguer
reotype process.
In all the claims put lorth lor the
superiouty of the Anglo-baxon, in
stances innumerable were given to sub
stantiate the position of the distinguish
ed lecturer.
His discourse showed much
thought and erudition and a well train
ed, losical manner, and abounded in
much useful and valuable intormation.
Mai. Bingham showed that the Con
federate army under General Lee fought
equal to any soldiers the world has ever
seen.
Ice Cream Treat. That clever le1-
low Moseley, the well known Confec
tioner of this city, treated the entire
News Office last evening to some of his
delicious Ice Cream. The cream was
hnely enjoyed by all hands and Mose-
ly was not only voted a prince of Con
fectioners, but xthe prince or good tei-
lows. Families wishing to be supplied
during the Summerx irJonths with Ice
Cream would do well to make an ar.
rangement with Moseley.

Dear Sir : The proposition in regard to
Congleton's Vegetable Salve as . stated in
the Daily News a day or two ago is in the
main true, but I desire to put it in a more
tangible form, so every one may under
stand It. It is this. I prepare two size

larger box for SI, holding six times as much
as a small box. V
I propose that for every dollar sent to me

Salve from May 1st, 1873, to May 1st, 1874, to
send a box, postage paid, to the address of
the person ordering, and donate ahalf dol
