The Slaughter of Canines Has BeerrJ Going on, for Months--Uves In Vast Piece of Woods. v - - Special toTHXTXUDGKAM. Winston, Jan. 18. Undeniable evi dence has been found of the presence of some wild beast in the woods around Rural Hall. Whatever the animal is, it attacks only dogs, harm ing nothing else around the yard. The dog is attacked, his throat cut and his body, eaten from his heart to his hind quarter and his bones cleaned of all meat. The animal has been seen only once, but he could not be distinguished from the dog which was'being attacked and disappeared in the darkless. --The de population of the dogs has been going Dd for six or seven months, but at first attracted little attention, the report being circulated by the boy s. Butaneye witness tells of the attacks the animal has made, and of the dead -bodies of two dogs seen Monday morning. The only theory advanced is that there' being about 6,000 acres of thickly stud ded woodland around Rural Hall and running thence almost unbroken to S aura town mountains. It must have its habitat there. SPOILED A ROSY ROJ1ANCE. The Young Man Reckoned -Without His Mother-In-Law.

SUPERINTENDENTS LETTER. To Supervisors and Members of Coun- ty Boards of Education. Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 17 I write you in regard to orders given during the 'school year of 1896 and 1897 for pub lic funds when there were no funds due the districts. y The committees had no authority to "sign orders for money when there was none due the school for which they gave the order for school supplies, and the person or persons accepting theseT orders did so at his" own risk. v The banks that bought such paper or orders did so upon their own re sponsibility. I feel sopry for the banks, but I feel more sorry for the children whose money is squandered. Some counties in the state have been canvassed by agents who knew jthere was no money due the school, and tile committee knew They had no money to pay the extravagant orders they -were giving. ' ' It is a burning shame to see the hun dreds of dollars of Orders given for money when there was none, expecting to gobble up the money of the child ren for this fiscal year. Do not spend one cent of he school money due from July 1st, 1897 to June 30th, 1898, to pay orders made by your predecessors in office. If there was money due the districts for which the goods were bought at the time they were bought, and for the school year in whjehthey were bought, then-, of course, such orders must be paid, otherwise donot pay them. Yours very truly, - . . 7 C. H. Mebane, -Superintendent Public Instruction. NOBLE LADY WEDS A SAILOR. Daughter of pie Marquis of Allesbury Marries a Sea Captain.- - A special cable dispatch to, the New York. Sun fromXiondon says: .The Daily Mail records the romantic marriage of Lady Ernestine Bruden-ell-Bruce, eldest daughter of the Mar quis of Allesbury, and Harry Brady Hunt, a merchant seaman and an Irish man. Lady Ernestine is an enthusiastic yachtswoman, and was attending the Nautical School at Liverpool with a view of obtaining a master's certificate in order that she might command her own yacht: ' - The Board of Trade declined to give her a certificate, being- barred from doing so oy the regulations which" ex clude women from being masters of vessels. Her presence in Liverpool, led to her acquaintance with Mr.Hunt, who was seeking a similar certificate, which was issued to him. - - - The pair were married quietly in Liverpool. None of thevbride's rela tives was present at the wedding. Mr. Hunt has been appointed master of a sailing vessel, and his wife will ac company him on his first voyage as a captain. Enemies of Civil Service. Every political trickster and ward worker, regardless of his party brand, is interested in the overthow of the civil service law, just as every boodler and thief is interested in the defeat of the police and all criminal prosecu tions. If civil service has weak places they should be made strong and proof against attacks of gangs, but no hon est man will attempt to defeat the prin cipal of the law. Chicago News. How it is in London. "I have noticed since coming!d the United States that the word 'nigger,' as applying to the black people, isn't half so common in conversation or in newspapers as it is in my country," said Mr. George Norcross, of Eng land, at the EVbitt. "However, the term isn't meant offensively in Great Britain, and I suppose . the colored people wouldn't be so apt" to resent it over there, seeing that there is no dis criminationo&gatnst them - on account of their race. The best hotels and theaters of London are open to their patronage, andthey go anywhere that white people do. London is en tirely too cosmopolitan to be affected by race prejudice, and every man stands on his own merit." Washing ton Post. ' .
