is the son of Mr. K. A. Kluttz
of this county,' and had been in
Como in the railroad business just
fifteen months to a day when he
died. He had been sick with typhoid
fever for some time, and his brother,
J. M. Kluttz who is in business in
Deveer, Col., was with him until he
seemed to be recovering. His par
ents were informed that he was out
of danger and had scarcely received
the letter when word was received
that he had suffered a relapse and
was dead. His was a sad death, away
from home and kindred. He was a
young man of fine promise. It is
the intention of his parents to bring
his body home during the winter.

At the instance of Gov. Fowle,
Solicitor l. r. Long has been at
Jjoxington, is . u., investigating the
recent lynching, and Judge Phillips
has also been there issuing the bench
warrants, which were returned be
fore him this week. As it is a case
of considerable interest, we givu be
low an account as given in Wednes
day's Lexington Dispatch.
"In accordance with inshuctions
contained in the foregoing letter,
(Gov. Fowle's) bench warrants for
thirty-two persons were placed in the
hands of Sheriff Leonard, returna
ble before Judge Phillips, at the
court house on Monday morning. A
large force of deputies was at once
sworn in, and the work of making
arrests was begun early Sunday
morning. By night, more than
twenty arrwsts had been made, and
when the hearing was begun next
day, twenty-seven defendants were
present in court, i wo others were
afterwards brought in.
The hearing of the case began at
two o'clock Monday afternoon, So
licitor Long representing the State,
aud Messrs. Robbins and Raper y.nd
S. E. Williams appearing for thede
fendants. W. B, Glenn, Esq., was
afterwards engaged to assist the so
licitor, and M. II. Pinnix, Esq., was
retained for the defendants. Up to
the time of going to press, the time
of the court has been engaged in
hearing evidence for the State. A
number of witnesses gave testimony
that pparently connects several of
the defendants with the lynching.
The most important witness exam
ined up to this time, is W. N. Kin
ney, the jailor, who identified six
persons who went in the jail and
took the prisoner out. Only one
man in the campany was disguised.
Other witnesses claim to have identi
fied several men who participated in
the lynching. The evidence as far
as heard, does not connect more than
ten or twelve men directly with the
lynching. The State has a iarge
number of witnesses yet to be intro
duced, and it is understood that
there are about forty witnesses for
the defense. It is impossible to
forecast, at this stage of the pro
ceedings, what further testimonj
will disclose."
From this account it will be seen
that there is no disturbance and all
is quiet. The prosecution does not
seem to be making much headway,
owing to the sympathy of the beople
of that county with the lynchers.
A gentleman who was there Tuesday
reports that the witnesses on exami
nation seemed to have seen the
hanging, the rope adjusted, and all
the details of it, but when it came to
identifying the persons, their eye
sight was so defective they could
not say who were connected in it.
It looks now as if nothing of impor
tance will result from the investiga
tion. The Cabarrus Black Bovs, as a
precautionary measure, were ordered
to in inarching order. After be
ing up ai! Mor. day night, and stand
ing around in military array all day
I'uesday, they were disbanded
Tuesday night, as not being neces
sary. EDUCATIONAL.

Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 20, 1S89.
I notice what you say in your is
sue of today about the Blair bill,
and I had also noticed that the
Asheville Citizen said as to the Dem
ocratic press being a unit against it
or as nearly a unit in favor of edu
cation. I do not know whether the
Citizen meant to say that the Demo
cratic press was heartily in favor of
a liberal system of public education.
If so I take it that the press is in fa
vor of increasing pur school facili
ties from our own resources. How
ever this may be, it may not be
imiss for me to state our condition,
as follows:
1st. In the United States there i3
annually spent for public education
an average of two dollars to every
man, woman and child.
2nd. In North Carolina there is
annually spent for public education
an average of thirty-nine cents to
every man, woman and child in the
State; while in Virginia the corres
ponding amount is ninety-three
cents.
This is to say, the average edaca
tional effort in the United States is
over five times as great as it is in
North Carolina; and in Virginia it
is about two and one half times as
great. Other figures show that
North Carolina is behind almost all
the other Southern States in public
educational effort and very much
behind most of them.
3. In North Carolina our average
annual public school term is just
about three school-months exactly
last year, sixty-three days and it
cannot with the amount of money
we spend be increased much, if any.
4. Our public schools do not sat
isfy either their frieuds or their ene
mies. iJiey are not good enouga
to command the respect of those
who believe in a liberal system of
education to the end that our mate
rial prosperity may be promoted and
our civil and religious liberties per
petuated; they are too good to please
lliose who are opposed to pubbc
education entirely, or who are op
posed to it except as a charity, and
support it only on the principle that
they give a piece of bread to a beg
gar.
5. As the head of the system, hy
the favor of the people, I think it is
impossible to support a creditable
svstem with the small amount we
now a;)ply. I am not complaining;
this is the people's business, and
consider my duty discharged when I
do the very best I can with the
means they allow for the schools, and
when I sta'e what our condition
really and comparatively.
is
0. The significant questions are:
What are we going to do about it?
Will we drag- along as we are? Will
we raise more money in the State?
Will we try to get some congressional
appropriation?
Let the press copy this article and
take the matter np and discuss it. We
can hardly afford to stand where we
are. Very respectfully,
S. M. Finger.
Read the aaticle from Major Fin
ger in this column. It contains
facts worthy of careful consideration.
Quite a number of teachers that
are applicants for schools have sent
in their names. By this we have
been enabled to serve eeveral com
mitteemen quite well.
Have you your school house well
seated ? Remember that no schcol
can be properly managed unless

There is a concern in
Con-
cord that is causing a
great
deal of talk. They say every
body jumps on a fellow that's
down, and this concern is way
down that is in price. In
fact it is the lowest concern in
town in prices. Folks look
in at these people and say they
are full. Well, they are "full,"
and low down, too. Full of
business and low down in
prices, and the name of this
concern is

Last fall Cannons & Fetzer
astonished the public by sell
ing a good, heavy suit of mens
clothes at $3.00 ; now they of
fer a better suit for $2.75. Just
think of it ! A heavy, well-
made full SUIT OF CLOTIIES
for $2.75 ! Now, some people
will say this is not a wool suit.
Well, may be not, but is a
good, heavy suit, and further
we olfer a good heayy Sati
nette suit, wool and cotton
mixed, for $3.75, and a good
union
CASSIMEltE SUIT for $5.00.
Jsow these prices are not
catches. We bought the goods
under value and we are selling
them the same way. And then
when we show you a good ALL
WOOL SUIT for $(5.00, good
style, carefully and well npulp,
you will admit that U is
cheaper than the cloth 1 hat's
in it would cost, Well, what's
the use going all through tho
line every thing is on this
basis. Goods bought for spot
cash, way down under manu
facturers' value. VY hy we have
a line of pants ALL WOOL at
$2.00, and we guarantee that
you can't buy the goods that it
takes to cut them for $2."0,
not to say anything about lin
ing, thread and buttons. The
same is true of our $3.00 line
of pants. We have about 15
different styles of pants all
wool goods the very best
stvles lor $3.00.
No use talking we can
Save You 25 per cent.
on all kinds of clothing.
We
go into the market to get real
values. A v e don t run around
hunting up what they call
novelties. Novelties in any
line of goods bring the manu
facturer from 40 to 75 per cent,
profit. Staples bring 10 to 20
per cent, prolit. But there is
always in the market large
lines of staple and fancy goods
that can be bought for cash
way below tne cost oi mana-
facture when a buyer can be
found who is not afraid of
big lots. Thus a clothing man
ufacturer will sometimes have
a lot of 400 or 500 suits, repre
senting 20 or 30 styles,of which
he had made up 300 to 500
suits of each. Now they are
down to 15 or 20 of a kind and
he must get them out of the
way. He has made his profits
on the first sales when buyers
were anxious to get the first
new things. Now he will sell
these 400 or 500 suits at less
than they cost him to make, if
he can find a man who will
clean up the whole lot and pay
the money down. We go in
for values, and we are never
afraid of a big lot if we can get
the price right. We can show
vou dozens of different styles
Cassimere suits which we offer
to sell for less than any man
can buy the same quaity of
goods for, to say nothing on
cutting and making. We can
convince any reasonable man
of this.
This is the reason why our
CLOTHING
counters are piled up so high
that you cannot see over them
at the beginning of the season,
and the reason they rre so
low at the end of the season is
that people knew a good thing
when they see it.
Now what we have said
about clothing applies to other
lines of goods, especially
j booas.
We can show you knit up
dershirts that we are selling
for less than the same grade
can be bought for right from
the factory that makes them.
Read the locals for some
specialties.
