Thursday, February 6, 1913. THE CAUCASIAN The Caucasian AND RALEIGH ENTERPRISE. Raleigh, N. C.t February 6, 1013. Envered at the Post-oQce in fUleif b. N. C. aecood cImi mail matter. Local Matters. There are ndw eighty convicts on the various road forces in Wake County. There is no reason why the county shouldn't have good roads un less the convicts are allowed to do more damage going over the roads than they do good. Mr. Garland Jones, of Raleigh, Tuesday, received a cablegram from London announcing the death there of his sister, Miss Dora Duty Jones. She was the daughter of the late Dr. Turner M. Jones, for many years President of Greensboro Female Col lege. Mr. J. H. Wiggins died Saturday afternoon in this city at his home. His death was sudden, though he had not been well for several months. The deceased leaves a wife and one son. The son, Lonnie Wiggins, is in the navy and is now at Constanti nople. Henry Pool Die on the Public High way. Henry Pool, a white man about forty-five years old, was found dead in the road near his home, close to Pool's Store, ' four miles from Ral eigh, Monday. The doctors who were later summoned were of the opinion that Pool's death was due to heart failure. The sum of $42.66 was found in the pockets of the deceased, which would indicate that there was no foul play. Four Alleged Mind Tigers Arrested. The police made a raid for blind tigers in Raleigh a few days ago. Those arrested charged with selling liquor are Frank Britt, clerk at Wil son's Cafe on East Martin Street; Paul Taylor, clerk at Henry Sorrell's Cafe on South Wilmington Street; Richard Eubanks and Joe Harris, both clerks at Weaver's place on Ex change Street. All the defendants, with the exception of Paul Taylor, gave $300 cash bonds. Taylor is in jail. Britt is charged with two of fenses and had to give $600 bond. The cases of Britt, Taylor, Eu banks and Harris are set for Feb ruary 7. Miss Annie Whitaker Died Tuesday at her Home Near Raleigh. Mies Annie Whitaker died Tuesday morning at her home two miles north of this city. She had been ill for only a few weeks, and her death oc curred just two weeks after the sud den death of her brother, Mr. Willis Whitaker, who was found dead be tween his home and that of Mr. Kim brough Jones, and of her sister, Miss Sallie Whitaker, who was found dead in her bed. She was 67 years of age, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Willis Whitaker, of this county. One sister, Miss Lucy Whitaker, and one brother, Mr. Joel Whitaker, of Atlanta, Ga., survive. Dr. Joel Whitaker, of Raleigh, is a nephew of the deceased. Raleigh Rar Wants Court Every Day in the Year. The Raleigh Bar Association, at a meeting Friday afternoon, expressed itself in favor of making Wake Coun ty one judicial district so that court might be held here every day in the year. The crowded condition of the calendar, which has been get ting more crowded each year, moved the members to favor this plan. A committee consisting of W. J. Peele, chairman; Col. John W. Hinsdale, J. W. Bailey, and Walter L. Watson was appointed to press the matter. It was the sense of the lawyers, though no action was taken, that the new court-house should be erected on the present site, and a court-house committee, composed of W. B. Snow, chairman; Percy J. Olive, John W. Hinsdale, Jr., J. B. Cheshire, Jr., and W. B. Jones, was appointed. NOTHING FOR THE MASSES. The Legislature Piling Up Debt With out Helping the Public. Mr. Editor: I have been reading the papers regularly for the past thir ty days in order that I might know what democracy wras going to do for the people. I am proud of my native State, and I would be glad to know that democracy was for the benefit and betterment of all the people. But alas! when I begin to read the bills introduced and advocated by dem ocracy, more taxes to burden the peo ple, more judges, more schools, fat jobs for lawyers, fat jobs for teach ers, and nothing being done to help the masses, as a tax-payer I would like to make some suggestion to dem ocracy. (1) Sell the State property and pay the State debt. (2) Compel every Democrat in North Carolina from the age of twenty-one to seventy-five to go to. school six months in each year for the next four years, and the State provide them with the following text-books, to-wit, Webster's Unabridged diction ary. Civil Government. and. one copy of the Declaration of ' Independence adopted by Congress,. July 4. 1776, to be given to each school; also let the State provide the above-named schol ar! with board and clothing during the school term, and at the end of the four years require each one to recite the Constitution of North Carolina and the Constitution of the United States by heart; provided one should on the fourth day of July. 1916. fail to comply with above, shalt be guilty of tyranny and the said Dem ocrat shall forever forfeit his right to democracy. One more suggestion: Let dem ocracy abolish the public schools for children from six to twenty-one years of age and in lieu thereof give each child two dollars per head to be used for the purpose of educating the child; place the said tax Into the hands of the parents and let them employ their own teacher, provided the said taxes shall be raised by tax ing dogs, chickens, geese, ducks, and cats at the rate of two dollars per head. Trusting democracy will comply with the above suggestions, I am, Respectfully, A LIBERTY-LOVING TAX-PAYER. Raleigh, N. C, R. No. 3, February 4. 1913. Roard May Stand Law-Suit Before Paying Extra Automobile Hire. The Board of County Commission ers to-day accepted the option of $400 for four acres of land in the center of the county farm offered by the heir of the late Buck Fowler. No options have been secured for a new county home or new court house site. The commissioners allowed Audi tor Holding's bill of $122 for ex penses while placing additional prop erty on the tax books. The Board indicated that it might stand a law suit before paying the bill of W. H. Brewer for automobile hire for the last grand jury. The bill amounted to $18.00. It was under stood by the Board that Auditor Holding informed Mr. Brewer what the county would pay and that a check for $10 would have to cover the cost of locomotion. The matter was left in the hands of County At torney Beckwith. STATE UNIVERSITY NEWS. State High Schools Will Debate at Chapel Mill May 1 Law Class of Eighteen. Chapel Hill, N. C, Feb. 4. Of more than ordinary interest to the high school teachers of North Caro lina is the January issue of the North Carolina High School Bulletin. Nota ble among the items of interest is the announcement of a "Conference on High School Problems," which meet ing is scheduled to be held at Chapel Hill on May 1 and 2. The committee on arrangements for this conference, composed of Professors N. W. Walk er, inspector of secondary schools; M. C. S. Noble, and H. W. Chase, of the educational department, are now engaged formulating details prepara tory to this meeting, and a definite program of exercises will be ready for announcement at an early date. The Bulletin, of which Prof. N. W. Walker is editor, notes that May 2 is the date for the dedication of the new educational building of the Uni versity. Reference is made to the Peabody Education Building erected through the generosity of the Pea body Fund, which contributed $40, 000 towards its erection. The baseball schedule for the Uni versity of North Carolina has been officially announced. It includes a total of twenty-three games, eleven of the number to be played on the home diamond. The season opens on March 14 in a game with Oak Ridge Institute, and ends with a game with the Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege, of Raleigh, on the date of May 1st. Eighteen members of the Law De partment of the University went down to Raleigh Monday to appear before the Supreme Court to take the examination for license to practice the profession. "A Disgrace to The State." The Committee on Health report ed favorably the bill by Williams, of Cabarrus, to restrict the right of medical colleges to use bodies of paupers for dissecting. Legislative item. The Republican has said and re peats the assertion that this law is a disgrace to the State. It might ap ply to criminals, but to paupers, nev er. To make the law more imper ative, it restricts counties and muni cipalities from extending aid to paup er dead so that they can be given even a semblance of a decent burial. If the relatives or friends cannot meet the expense, the local health authorities are notified and money is furnished not to bury but to trans port the remains to the pickling vat of some State medical school. When North Carolina gets so penurious that she cannot bury her pauper dead, it or any other State so doing, has about reached the limit. All honor to Representative Williams, of Cabar rus. But what can be said of those who defeated, by their vote, his bill to wipe this infamous law from off the statute books? Union Republi can. We are Inclined to look upon bad temper as a very harmless weakness, but, the Bible again and again con demns it as one of the most destruc tive lementa in human nature.- Hen ry Drummond. Henderson Woman Fir at (M9mi Rat KM Hatband. A special from Henderson to Satur day's News and Observer says: "About S o'clock this afternoon Charles Snyder and his wife were rid ing on the street in the vicinity of the Harriet Cotton Mills and began shooting with pistols. A warrant was issued for their arrest and placed in I the hands of Deputy Sheriff Gupton,' While the paper was being served. Mrs. Snyder secured a pistol and opened fire on the officer, who step ped behind her husband. A bullet en tered Snyder's heart, killing him In-, stantly. while the officer was wound-1 ed in the shoulder. It is said both husband and wife were intoxicated. Officer Champion took from the pock ets of the dead man twenty-seven cartridges. A Rill That Should Become a Law. (Mooresville Entreprise.) Representative Stewart has created a stir In the Legislature by introduc ing a bill against tipping at hotels and cafes, prescribing a severe pun ishment for the tipper as well as those tipped. Some folks may think that Mr .Stewart is ofT his kazlp, but that bill ehonld become a law. Tip ping is one of the greatest nuisances that exists, and the cost to a man who goes away from home occasion ally amounts to a neat sum if he re mains a week or ten days.
