WILEY RUSH. OUK TEACH ER I HSTITU TE. As noted several times in the papers the Cabarrus County Teach ersMnstitutes will convene on the 2nd. Some of the teach flrs tnav find themselves so en- yironed as not to hail the period with unmixed pleasure, but it so it is to be regretted. We have altogether too few opportunities for the common school teachers to profit by association with others. During school terms no teacher can lay down the work in hand to visit and observe the methods of others. Good educational jour nals and periodicals for teachers help very much but the wide awake teacher that does not want to run in the old grooves when others have found better, want the benefits ot personal contact with those in the front ranks of the noble band of our educators. The writer knows full well that our instructors coming from nor mal institutions can not well come down to meet all the wants of the inquiring teachers in our rural districts, but the teacher is expected to be a leader in thought and intellectual progress. As such the few methods practical in graded schools and not in the common schools should be avoid ed but the ideas should be ap propriated. The unstable mind, too ready to seize unadaptable methods may realize no benefits and may eyen suffer injury from contact with the very advanced, and the mind cast, as it were in an iron mould, incapable of adjustment to the progress of, the day would do as well to neglect the institute, but that mind that has individualty (not hobby) by which to adapt methods to environments and ap propriate what is taught to iL- J. t Z 1 uie emarguium ui luuas uy wmcj to evolve methods somewhat original should not miss the institute it possible to attend. It will befan occasion profitable and pleasant to the teachers we hope. Eyen if committeemen could attend, the school work would doubtless gain much inspir ation Oar friend the Statesville Lind mark referring to the fact that the Congressional committee has thus far been unable to effect a joint can vass betweea Mr. Klutiz and Mr. Caldwell commended Mr. Snnford for his willingness to meet in joint canvass. The Stasdard oon etrned this in Mr. Shuford to bra zenDt88 and ignorance of when he was outclassed. Mr. Caldwell was credited with being a little wiser. The Landmark saja : "If .Mr. Caldwell is brazen enough to accept a fusion nomination for Congress he should have brass enough to meet his opponent on the stnmp and discuss the issues. It is no credit to him that he is ashamed or afraid to meet Mr. JLluttz. If he hasn't ability enough i to maKe the joint canyas3 he should get down and let Sbuford take his (place." We will accede to our esteemed contemporary's paragraph if he will eliminate the name Sbuford. As for credit, there b none in Mr. Caldwell's running on the fusion ticket after being one of the firt to declare that the Populate would not fuse with the Republicans again, and after he favored fusion with the Democrats. We can see no ins dications cf credit wanted in this flopping about where offices only can be ncped for, but we insiaj; that Mr. Caldwell is using moie discre tion in following the precedent of Pritohard and others in a cause that prospers more as the light is with held. .; Mr. Sbuford had only brazenness to palm off on his followers for smartness. Oar contemporary will see that we' are anxious to. say something faj vorable of our man Caldwell, but I it's an up-hill business when he , ib on that ticket. We fall back ion our original encomium, he has sense enough to know when he is out classed. ! THE CONCORD LYNCHING! Solicitor Hoi ton Makes a .Statement now the Investigation was Con ducted. The Statesville Landmark has the following: 44 At the recent term of Cabarrus court Solicitor Holton in vestigated the recent lynching of two negroes in that town who had outraged and murdered a young lady. The investigation was with out results. There has been some criticism of the solicitor's irJvesti-! gttion and he, being present at Ire dell court tUis week, has given The Landmark the following statement of his procedure in the matter : " 4 1 notice that some newspaper correspondents have seen proper to allude to the investigation' of the lynching of Thomas Johnson and Joe Kizer as a farce and to criticise me for receiving the fees provided by law for such services. The lynching was done on Sunday night of May 29 ;h and published in the dailies of the State, I think, on Tuesday, May 31st. Upon this in formation I immediately wrote the sheriff of Cabarrus county for the facts, and upon the receipt of his reply went to Concord, reaching there on June the 7th. Upon in vestigation I found that a young lady had been outraged and mur dered and that the yictims of the lynching had been arrested and placed in jail, and taken therefrom by a mob and lynched, with the indignation of the people at its highest, the citizens deploring the condition, but sympathizing with o a number of persons who ads mitt ed they were on the ground, but could not secure the name of anj one who bad participated. With the conditions existing s they were, it was evident that it wa3 usle83 to proceed with the in vestigation before the local authori ties. I determined to make an effort to have the matter heard before a judge of the Superior Court. 44 'Having been informed that tbei Governor of his own motion had indicated his desire to employ coun Bel to assist in the prosecution, I wired him from Concord and re C9ived an answer that he intended emnl v counsel to assist in the . tt prosecution, but desired to confer with me in person, and in response to his telegram I went to Raleigh, and there had a conference with the Governor without results. I then upon my own motion applied to a judge of the Superior Court, who informed me that upon the request of the Governor he would go to the place and hold the investigation. I then applied to the Governor to make this request, but received no answer. When I met the judge now holding the courts in this dis trict at July term at Ashboro I laid the matter before him. At his sug gestion the matter went over to July term of Cabarrus court, which followed the Randolph court, and was then heard before a justice of the peace upon the examination of seven witnesses, including the sher iff, his jailer, Rev. Mr. Alexander ! and Mr. Wade Barrier, of the Con cord Standard, ail worthy gentle men, who were most likely to know the circumstances and parties con nected therewith.- None of these witnesses were able to identify any of the participants. 41 4I spent one week's time making this investigation with the determi nation that the law should be vin dicated, with the results given. Some of the newspapers complain that the examination of witnesses was not made earlier. This was not my fault. 1 made the investigation and secured the names of the wit nesses most likely to know. But I suppose the parties complaining thought the testimony would spoil by unavoidable delav.' " Said the Spanish Don With bandage on. As he wept and sighed In pain !
