Policemen Have a Jolly Bace and Bag , and . borS(J and buggy tO
Their (Janio 5!r. .Wrifht (Ms His
Horse and liturgy.
Policemen Harris and Boge'r
had a neat little chase Monday
evening for n. negro and hauled
in their man and enough booty
to replenish Santa Claus.
A 'phone.messago from Sails
told Brown Bio's, that Mr. Geo.
Wright's .horso and buggy was
stolen. Mr. M L Brown's eye
caught a sight back of Sappen
field's store that looked a little
suspicious. A negro had a nura
ber of chickens on the buggy
that he was trying to sell.
Policeman Bcger was put-on
to the trail, but the "negro drove
out just as he was about to arrest
him and drove down church
street. Bogcr got a horse and
went down Union street and af
ter shying around awhile saw a
horse and top buggy going up
Bell Avenue. He quickened his
pace and observed, that the ve
hicle got on new speed. It re
solved itself into a race with a
good distance between. The
race was out Bell Avenue, west
ward on Depot street, North on
Georgia Avenue, west on Mill
street, south by Cannon's Mill
to Depot street at the Lumber
Yard, westward past depot over
Buffalo bridge and up the long
hill. After crossing the top of
of tho hill Uoger put his horse
te breakneck 'speed and the ne
gro saw it was up to him. He
abandoned tho turnout and took
to the thicket. Boger took chargo
of the horse and buggy and sent
them back. By this time Chief
Hnrris learned of the mattor and
set out. The track was followed
through gullies and about. Chief
Harris rambled over through the
woods and about in the neigh
borhood of A B Young's, Will
Morris', Brown Bro's. and Wm.
Smith's farms. He saw a negro
and went for him. The negro
got an impassible thicket be
tween them and there they play
ed dodge back and 'forth. , Har
ris ordered him to surrender or
refuse at Iris peril. The negro
said, "HereI am, come and get
me." When he rode round the
negro ran apd got out of his view.
Harris shot at him twice in the
race.
Harris spun around"till he saw
that the ngro was within a cer
tain circle. By this time others
had come up and, a mUiijtt; search
dav. .
This niorniifg two sacks of
grocery goods tf a splendid va
ricty were found near Mr. Z A
Morris' powder honse, over
beyond Buffalo creek. They
match with various articles found
on the negro, who says his name
is Jim- Dease, originally from
Ap3X but' late from Weldon. He
is 28 years old, he says, but looks
much younger.
The Salisbury Truth-Index
says that some time during Sun
day night the store of Alexlrvin
a ono-armed negro merchant at
Spencer, was robbed and par
tially burned. Doubtless these
goods came from there.
It seems thero were several
thefts that night and some
choosing of horses and buggies
at Spencer and Salisbury.
Jim says he has a pard who is
loose yet and that he left the
sacks of goods to come into town
to sell tho chickens.
Coddle Creek Items.
Written for The Standard.
Coddle, Dec. 18, 1900 We
loose two of our valuable citi
zens soon. Mr. B W Pressley
will move to Mooresville Thurs
day of this week and Mr. M P
Nesbit will move next Monday.
We regret to loose them.
Adam Moore, one of the good
old time negroes died here this
(Tuesday) morning. He was
honest, polite and obliging, tho
kind that the white people de
lighted to honor and even to
tease good naturedly, as he stam
mered somewhat in speech.
Ada-n was about 65 years old and
leaves the wife of his youth and
twelve living children- out of
fourteen. Ho was well-to-dG
wning two mules and othor
stock.
Hon. Car'Craige Hurt.
Hon. Car Craige was painfully
though not 'seriously hurt . in
Salisbury Sunday ,by a runaway
horse. His little sou escaped
unhurt but Mr. Craige had two
ribs broken. He is getting on
well the Truth-Index announces.

His Ideas as Condensed From Pamphlet
Coiitafnio? His Views and IfcvctUgu
Hons.
State Superintendent of Pub"
lie Instruction, the C H Mebane,
has issued a, pamphlet entitled
Recommendations to the General
Assembly of e North Carolina
session 1901 which we I have
scanned somewhat closely. We
have condensed tho following
which we think will be' well
worth the perusal of those inter
ested m tho education of our
children in the state. .
He thinks that wo should have
uniform examination for teachers
and that to this end the state
board should have the increased
power of preparing all examina
tion questions with tho provis
ion that the county superinten
dent act in some exceptional
cases.
He thinks the county board
should be required to publish
annually a statement of all ex
penditures that "Paid for other
puposes" be not made to cover
so much ground.
The county board should keep
posted in the school rooms' the
lists of books to bo used with
prices attached.
He would havo tho superin
tendent or some othor one apart
from the . sheriff or county
treasurer for the school fund that
there bo no mixing or borrowing
of tho school ri;oney.
He would have the county
superintendent to bo one of the
best educated men m tho county,
one at least that can carry and
does carry a life certificate.
This officer should be selected
without, reference to political
party or denominational affilia
tions. This difficult rock ho
would steer past by having
county superintendent elected
by the teachers in tho county
holding first grade certificates,
state certificates and diplomas
from chartered colleges. He
argues that it wou'd stimulate
the ambition of second grade
teachers and .bring public
and private school teachers in
closer touch beside the prim e ob
ject of the method.
A hindrance to getting the
best teen forsuperintendents is
that there is no dignified com
pensation tor the work. The
pay should be increased. He ad
