The elect ton is over. Tho Prohibition

we pretiictcu. The battle was fourht for

in lighting this battle, what elso could. wo
expect but success. Money and whiskey
was freely used to buy the votes of men

Tho law in North ..Carolina is :. that "A ny

toxicating liquors, except for medical
purposes and upon the prescription of a

within .twelve hours next proceeding or

general, local cr municipal, or during the
holding thereof, shall be guilty of a mis

wo call upon all i;od citizens to slid iu
bringing tho guilty parties to justicof bcr

their ballots that they do not want the

WAS IT AN ATTEMPT TO MURDER
us? - .
On Saturday evening the 4th instapt,
wo were standing in tho store of Mr. ' J.
B. Jones, on tho comer of Front and
Turner Streets, waiting for the hour to
arrive for the Prohibition meeting at
Davis Hall, when. wq. were approached by
a citizen of this town, who -was under
the influence of 'mean election whiskey'.
We were asked to walk out in tho street,
wo did so, bcthcii desired us to go put in
tho rear of the stores, which wo declined
to do. Tho poor drunken fellow then
commenced a bitter tirado of abuse min
gled with curses for the views which we
had expressed, and upon the conduct of
our paper, in tho 'support of tho Prohibi
tion cause. We told him that ho was
drunk, and wo wished .no further conver
sation with him. : We then walked back
into the "store, ho followed us up closely,
his right hand was -clenched during tjio
time. Wo saw that it was his intention
to pick a fuss with us, which wo wished
to avoid. He again commenced to abuso
us, swore at us terribly and see.ned deter
minded to precipitate matters, Wo said
to him, "You arc drunk, wo do not wish
to have anything to do with you." He
cursed us again, made foi us, wo clinched,
we were near' some barrels, and fell over
them. While' in this position, three
strokes were aimed at us with an open
knife in his hauds, Tho first stroke miss
ed us, t!t$ second passed through the top
of a stiff, 'crowned derby hat wo wcro
wearing, the third cut through tho collar
of our coat. If we had been wearing bur
straw hat at the timo nothing would
havo prevented our being killed. Whea
tho third strQlic vvas made, the knife pas
sed in close proximity to bur throat. We
did not wish to do him any harm and do
not now,: he was not responsible. We
blamo the devils in "human shape, who
had plied him with mean whiskey, and as
wc bclievo set him upon us. It is. our
intention to ferret out the matter, if it
takes a life time. We-choked the poor
fellow until his arm was powerless to
trikc. He was then-pulled away from us
and kicked out of doors'. !No unpleas
ant words had passed between as, on tho
contrary wc were friends. What was tho
incentive? - Was it to commit murder?
No doubt hi 113 drunken frenzy, had Wc
gouo with him behind the stoic, he might
have assassinatcdais. Crime loves dark-;
ness. This man J"fuli of tho miserable
poisou, wltlinottung against us. Out that
wo were l rojiiuiLioiiisi, uuivit lur iuu
time of reasoli, would have murdered us
in cohl blood. We faced danger in the
lato war for fcur long years for our loved
Southland. YV o are read to face i t again
in .the cause of Prohibition. Wo will
never huul down our colors. We aro not
cowed in tho least, .but prepared to strike
heavier blows than ever. The gallant
Gambrell of 'Mississippi, Editor of tlto

THE KILLING OF EDITOR

Last week wo chronicled the murder in
Haverhill, Ohio, 2 by saloon ists, of Dr.
Northup, Tl:is week wc chronicle still
another murder by tlio liquor intoiesc,'
and tho murder of as bravo, aud true and
talented a young man as tho State of
Mississippi can boast. Last Thursday
night, R. D. Gambrell, 'Editor of the
Sword and ISJiield, oioJackson, Miss., was
Waylaid by a party of whiskey men as he
was passing over a bridge on tho way to
his home, and was shot dead. Ho ws a;
young man but tweenty-threo "years of
age, of Christian character, of splendid
talents, heroic courage, and dvotcd with
his whole soul to the causo for which ho
has fallen. His father is one of the most
prominent Baptist clergymen in the.
State, and his mother is one cf the State!
officers of the W. C. T. Union. His;
chief assailant, Jones D. Hamilton, ws:
last year leader of tlio anti-prohibition-forces
in the despepxtc contest in Hinds,
county, which resulted in tho victory fori
prohibition. Young Gambrell was one of
the mogt promiuent in that.- contest and
has also been onp of the most trusty lead
ers of tho P'rohibitiQu party iu that State.
Threats and attempts at assassination
were made then. In spite of them he has
gone ahead exposing the enormities of j
the tra&ic, -and the political corruption of
those engaged in it, daring the hatred of
the political boss befoic wlm'- otliers
trembled. For this he has fallen, mur-
dcred in cold blood, a martyr to the cause
of the home, a hero as truu as ever braved
the wrath of hell. As for xis, our pen
trembles as we writo, and our vision is
bln-cd by the tears that arise. He was

arc not very busy owing to hard times, so

CAR-
Observation?, and Recommendation's, of
The County Superintendent.
TO TIIE COUNTY RO H OF KPUCATION.
Gextlf.jie: -It has occurred to me
th.-it yoii, t: 0 worthy u ivUec 'of tho mb
lie si'.hoe'isf Oactejrat County might, v.'ish
t h ive a sf .ateir.cnt from me as to tlie
gonenil condition j:f tho schools?, antl sug
gestions cf. tp ts bcttc r rcanaiienett'" of
the same ; thwofors I submit the Allow
ing. I have been content to lo but little v.is
iting.bcauw? of tho dilTlmlty of reaching
most, of t! 10 schools of tho c tinty an.l in
this I have the s.iaetiiu of tho Suite Su
perintendent. Of the seventee'i schools
visited thus far, a few I fomi I well con
ducted and m iking satisfactory progrcs
and mot all were doing as well as could
he expected usidcr the cironnutanea.!.
Tliorj arc U vc.wr m'.ny diflimlties in
tho way pf having .very good public eiopls
in CaHerefc. county. In the Ur.it place
there .is not enough money to run tho
schools a stifPcionk length of tiipe.tp make
them profitable. Tha cortstitutj in of the
Stute roqiJjres ti:c schools to bo run at least
foui-m.mtlis j:i tho year, but thr lae'e of
school fii'ids in tlys .co inty makos this
impo
isibio, and the 'committee in .trylug
.rry out tho las? a? ucarly as possible,
to car
aro lead to 0111 ploy, incorypobsut imiu U:i
trained teachers beaauso they cm run the
schools a little longer wim them. This
however is not economy. They should
place more estimate on quality than on
quantity. Better have a school taught by
a good well trained teacher two months,
than by a. poor incompetent teacher" four
months. Bit few of tho teachers em
ployed in onr schosare ttained toachers;
most of them may know enough to taach,
but they know not ljcw.tc toach it. They
havo never had theadvauteaes of Normal
schools and institutes. They teach as
they were taught and consequently their
pupils loam as they learned. They know
nothing cf the new methods of teaching
and school management, and havo not
cauglit the spirit of tho 'modol teacher of
to-day. This is much regretted because
the way out of the difficulty i3 slow and
uncertain. Wo are compelled to use
such material as wc lnvo until we can do
bettef . Wo are n6t ablo nor aro wo in
clined to pay first class . teachers . f rom
abroatl : therefore wo jnust work over the
material wo havo and endeavor to, make
competent toachers1 "among ourselves.
How can this bo d ne. First, by estab
lishig a county institute for the purpose
of teaching the teachers. Tho law pro
vides for an appropriation out of the
school funds of auyeouuty or two or
more couutioa forsucll institutions, and all
public school teachers aro required to at
tend the institute. Now an appropija
tion of one hundred dollui s 'from thro3 or
four counties : Say Carteret, Craven, Ons
low and Jones, together whh a small al
lowance from tho Peabody fund, Would
run a very nice little normal at some con
venient poiut. -(Morehead City or Nw
Berne), for 4wo moaUis. Thi3 would .en
ajjle our teachers to prepare themselves
for toachuig according to the latest meth
ods. Fortunately the teachers assembly
mod 3 this year in our county, and I hope
every one of our teachers will at tend at
least a part of the timo. It will dthem
much good to mingle with live progressive
teachers whose souls are filled with toach-
j Uyc
The exeit ites will be helpful and
wonderfully" suLrcre.stive. Let no ono miss
so rare and rich an oppoi tunifcy .
Another matter I would call your atten
tion to is tho lack of, and ' wrote hod con
dition of school hou-os. It i a positive
sir. to compel philurcn'ti atten I school iu
such places as I Tin 1 ia-a part of tho ter
ritory I have travelloh ,
A proiorly coiiitructl and i cat cd school
house is as essential to tlio running 01 a
school as is the tcar-.hci, and tho law
inakos as much, provision for the former
as for tUp '.atter. , ;
Let e'qnpni.ttoemeu sw to it that every
schooi,' white and c-l'rrd,: provided
with a good comfortable, properly cquip
ped scljo A rooiij. There siiould lc buile
new houses for the colored schools at liar.;

purposes. Them is in eckd a school room
