VOL XXXIVI THE COBLE MURDER The Father And Brother-in-Law of The Murdered Man Arrested And Placed In Jail, EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM EN TIRELY CIRCUMSTANTIAL. An Illicit Still U Captured by Officers During Tbelr Quest For The Perpe trator of The Daatardljr Crime. Daniel Foote Coble, a prominent farmer of Greene township, aud his son-in-law, Heitujan Elliott, wre ai rested and taken to jiil by otiicers from Gieensioro, charged with the brutal murder of Simpson Coble. John Atnick and H. M. Holt diore to Greensboro and reported to tie she, ill tt'ot they had found Simpson Coble lyiiitf in a gully leu f-tt tlei-p, near the home ot Eliott. Tb;tt he was bully hu: t, one eye bein- kuocs eJ out, a deep cut ou h a n-al, his shoulder broken and ths uiiii un conscious. Th'y s ud they n l bien to Coble's house 'o se him erly jesurday morning and his wife told them he ad not beeu home that night and the family was uneis; about him. . hey writ nu t El liott's, and inquiring aoout Simpson were told bv b th Dau Cob If, the father, and Eihotr, the br"ther-iri law, that be was lying in the golly about two hundred yards from th house. The father was reported to nave said ne saw him there About eight o'clock the night before, but would not bother wub him for fear there would ue.a iow, that he, Elliott and the imured man had been ene mies for three years. Going to the point indicated by Coble and Elliott. Holt and Amick said they found Simpson lying in the gully appar ently dead, one eye protruding from iu socket, blood air over the face, anu while the man seemed to have consciousness, he coulu not talk. With the assistance of the father and brother-in-law, the body was taken to Elliott b house, a physician summoned, and the necessary atten tion given, but there seemed to be no hope of hu recovery. Upon this information, the sheriff sent two deputies there last night, with warrants for the arrest of Coble and Elliott for assult with intent to kill, the warrants being changed to murder, when news of Coble's death reached here today. Before Coble's death, and while Hoi: and Amick were in tne sheriff's office this morn ing, a telephone message came from the officers to arrest Holt on the charge of running a blockade dis'il lery. Holt collapsed when arreste , and when placed iu jail awaiting trial for this offense naturally ex claimed, "God knows I neverexpect ed this." The officers, . in looking up evidence of the assault on Coble, discovered a biockade distillery near Elliott's house, and other evidence showing that Holt, Dan Coble and Elliott were interested in the distil lery, and that the feud between 8improu CoMe and his father and brother in-law had arisen over dispute about th division of prof s from the contraband trade, though no suspicion or knowledge or impli cation in the muider of Coble at taches to Holt. Officers are now ou the way with the contraband distil lery. Ujou information, of the death of Coble, Coroner Wood ws notified and summoning a jury of inquest proceeded to the diata.it scene in automobiles at ten o'cl ck, but had not re a rued at five o'clock. Many rejidents of G eenj towu ship are here this afternoon, and theuguniversiil -expre.-siou is one of confidence iu.he iuuocence of Daniel Coble in the murder of ' his son or complicity iu the illicit distillery captured near his residence. They ay that the dead man was given to sprees and by continued periodical disturbances had estranged the father and that the fact of the old man's not troubling to get him out of the golly when found there Tuesday night was from a desire to avoid a "w with the son, not knowing be waifaially injured, is understood by the neighbors, who feared Simpson Coble, a powerful and dangerous u when spreeing. Other wit nesses, however, say that the dead aan was parfectlv sober when last n going towards Elliott's residence Aoesday afternoon. . On the new railroad from wn to Wadeaooro Friday. Win.

E.MTS AND TEACHERS From Department of Teacher-Training --Monthly Circular Letter So. l--.o vembcr, 1900. County Superintendents and Teach e'S : Tne rural schools are now open ing throughout the State,and it is important that all concerned get actively ana earoet'y to work at the earliest possible moment. It is goou idea lor tie teachers to reao Dinsinore's Teaching a District chool at the outset of the term .Many bin's are contained therein that should be put immediately in o practice. Especial ntteution is otlled ti the program of a one. teacher school ou pages 44 and 45 With slight modification this pro gram cau be followed to great ad- vautige. artiple programs en be found also in Bulletin VIII, wmib may be bad by applying to the Umaty Superiiit-Hideut or ti r,tii ofhoe. The problem of classified lion and arranging a daiiy proa-mm is vittl. I be studies for the diffjr eat grades should be assigned iu ac cordance with the suggestions Bulletin 1V1II. Let tne teachers keep a copy of this valuub e bulletin constantly ou taeir desks. In tbe study of Hamilton's The Recitation the attention of the teacher is invited to tbe excellent outline fdrnished by Prcf. E. C. Brooks in each number of North Carolina Education, beginning with the Uetober number. In connection with, tne study of this book let me aga'u rmphaslza the importance of using the questions prepar i by Dr. Hamilton, which are to be fouod in the pamphlet descriptive of the Reading Circle. If the teachers are not yetsupplied with the books on the readii.g course they should, to Bave delay, order ihem direct from Alfred Williams & Co., Raleigh, or from the Stone & Bamnger Co., Charlotte, or from your county superiutenuent. The chief vaiue of tne curse lies iu its being pursued while school is in see. sion. Bulletin 1, on How to Tucn Read, ing, is being repriuted, wi:h certain corrections aud additions. It will be ready for distribution in a fe days. Teachers should at once se cure a copy and begin the study and teaching ot phonetics. It is hoped, also, that teach rs will do some good work this term iu oral and writt'n language in tbe first three or f ur grades. For suggestions see Bulletins I and VIII. At every oieeting of the Connty Teachers' Association the program committee should see to it that a model lesson is given by some experienceu teacher phonetics, language, number. wntmg or drawing. County Superintendents are quested to send iu the reports of their association meetings as prompt ly as possible, isiank postcards were distributed for this purpose a few weeus ago. inus tar not more than a dozen meetings bave bten re ported. It is my purpose to publish a synopsis of the best things done in these meetings from month to mon'h in North Carolina Education.- The Aovenv-er issue of North Carolina Education is full oi good things. Es pecial attention is called to Prof. Biooks' Hints About Home Geog raphy, Miss Fulghuni'8 Number Woik Suggestions, and E. E. Mil ler's What the Country Boy Has a Right to Expect from His Teacher. Some e.xqcel lent suggestions are giv ven, also, on Thanksgiving Day et ireiees. The wideawake teacher is always ready to gft up something fresh and interesting ou especial days. Hoping that tb.is.may be your best year in educational work, I remrin sincerely, J. A. Bjvins. Supervisor of Teacher Training. J. McN. Jobuson, postmaster at Aberdeen, writing in tbe Charlotte Observer of a recent date, gives a true aud accurate account of a little whirl wind that struck his fish pond the other day and skinned it from a to izztrd and made the rain to fall np. This gleeful little tit bit is published in liuuof the third install ment of Mr. Roger's Cave Story which got short circuited and failed to rrive.':n;; I PRINCIPLES, ASHEBORO, N.
