In order to keep in touch with j the school official of tho .State, and ! i . ii .i i' .i ! also to call the attention of the Count Board of .School Director--i to the qualifications prescribed for county superintendents in section 15 of the new school law, Superin lendent Mcbane has sent oat to each county board the following list r.f questions: Name and postofficc address of person elected (.Superintendent)? Where did he receive his academ ic or collegiate education? Has he ever taught, and if so, where? How long since he taught? If not a teacher, what is his busi ness? If a teacher has he any other bus iness? If not a teacher what has i.e Uh, specially recommend him as a .Sup erintendent of Schools and a trainer of teachers? Section 15 of the new f-chool law provides touching this matter: "The county board of school dir cu'ors shall, on the sec ond Monday in Jul, 1800, and biennially there after, elect a County Superintendent of Schools, who shall be at the time of his election a practical teacher, or who shall have had at least two years experience in teaching school. Said superintendent must be of good moral character and liberal educa tion, and shall hold his office for a term of two years from the dale of lis election and until his successor is elected and qualified. Immediate ly after tio election of the County Superintendent of Schools the chair man of the county board of school directors shall report to the State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion the name, address and exper ience of the person elected, and the the person elected shall report to the St&tc Superintendent as soon as ho shall have qualified the date of such qualification."

Jennings, who lives in Mulberry township, tells us that he had quite an exciting rucus at his place the other day. While sitting on the porch, he heard quite a con - motion among his chickens in ti c back yard. On going out to inves tigate, he was nirpriscd to sec a large blue crane and oncofhisgamc cocks engaged in a mortal combat. lie soon realized that the cock would come out second-best so he went to its rescue. At this the crane turned on him and he was forced to fight in self defense. He succeeded in se curing a stick ana soon had his cranship hors do cam bat. It was a fine specimen. Beats the Klondike.

R'clurd Wilborn Kills Hosey Love, , and Nearly Beats Chas. Ilarnby i i to Death. The home of -'Ph-h ' Wilborn in in Jobs Cabin townd:ip, iiear Sum tp.it, was the scene of another killing Sunday evening. It seems that two young men Ilosey Love, of Ashe, f-ounty. ami Chas. Ilamby, who lived in Wilborn's neighborhood loaded up oi mean corn liquor and started out to take the country. When they arrived at Wilbor'i's several were present, liove drew his kr.ucks an i was "baekstood'' by Ilamby:, wlio held a pistol in his hand, declaring he would kill the first man that touch ed Love. It was not long befoie they had everything to themselves. I T i i llif Iflt Ot.l i'l 111 lit IVlf 1 nil Hi. . . ....... to the house and latc:ie'J theuoors, going upon in the second story. Love and Ilamby broke the? doors down and swore they wo::H annihi late, the whole family. Alter e nter ing the houe they found where the occupants were and started after (heni. As they mounted thu steps, Ilamby began shooting into the crowd, one ball taking tiled i;i the thigh of Adline Church, who was staying at Wilborn's. When they leached the head of the steps. Wil born picked up an unloaded shot gun and sailed into tho "marauder.-. After the smoke f the battle had cleared awav, it was found that Love's head was almost pulvcr'zod and he was laying on the floor dead. Ilamby fared better, but was in an unconscious condition, lie was tivd and brought lo nil Monday night by Lee Tomalson, Kufus Greer and Iiowan Phillips. Since writing the above, we learn from Dr. While who held the pot mortem examination Wednesday, that Love was shot in the hack, the ball going through one of the his lungs. At the coronei's inquest the jury decided that Love came to his death at the hands of Wilborn and Ilamby. From what we can gath er, it seems that Ilamby, who was behind Love, shot the latter in the endeavor to kill Wilborn. The trial will no doubt prove to be quite in teresting. It will be remembered that John Watvrs was killed in this same houe about eighteen months ago by Bill Morgan. The New Jury Law. Under the new act to regulate the lime of drawing jurors a man who has not paid all bis taxes by the first Monday in June cannot serve on the jury. No matter what qual ifications he may otherwise posses?, his name will not go in the box un less his taxes are paid. The law on the subject is as follows: "The board of county commission ers for the several counties at their regular meeting on ,thc fir.-it Mon day in June, in tlwe year eighteen hundred and ninety-nine and every two years two years thereafter shall cause their clerks to la- before thorn tho tax returns of the preceding year for their county, from which they shall proceed to select thu names of such persons only as have paid all the taxes assessed againsl them for tho proceeding year and arc of good moral character and of sufficient intelligence." Pneumonia, la grippe, coughs, colds, croup and whooping-cough readily yield to One Minute Cough Cure. Use this remedy in time and save a doctor's bill or the under taker's. Horton & Wilborn.

The following is a report of tho ( lMl(jition of the crops for tho week . r. . ...!.... i.. o-i icon ending .Monday, -May --!, IhJJ, as prepared by the Weather Bureau: The weather during the first half of tho week ending Monday, was very warm and dry, tho tempera ture rising to abovo 00 at most places. Light rains occurred on tho ; lo'lh and 17lh in the vf Amd vcro general on the 18th in 'the centra;'" and eastern portions of the State.' Hail did considerable minor damago on the lSlh in parts of the follow ing counties: Green, Craven, Pitt, Carteret ar-d ' Pamlico, ami slight damage occurred also in a few west- j era counties on the 10th or 17th. I rr ii.. - . l ne latter part ol the week was cooler and generally clc.udy, with more lain on -Monday. Whilo tho temperature for the week wasabovo the norma!, the KUh, L'Oth and 22d were coo! enough to check tho growth of vegetation, esneeiallv cot- toll. 0:i the whole reports continue favorable. Pain is needed in south central and western counties; else where conditions arc satisfactory. Cousiderir-g the lateness of spring, crops are now fairly well advanced. Farmers have been active in clear ing crop of grr.ss. Beplanting has been completed where crops wero destroyed by hail last week. Plant ing is Hearing completion, though much tobacco has yet to be set out in northern counties, also sweet potato slips. Chopping ct'tton is general. Cot ton is nearly 'all up except replanted and the stand is good. Cool nights are beginning to affect the crop un favorably. Corn is we!! grown for the length of time it lias been in tho ground; the stand is excellent; tho first cultivation is in progress every where. Cut worms are injuring tho crop in many counties, especially on low lands. Early tobacco plants aro being .worked, tho crop is growing; well; flea-bugs aro damaging tobac co in a few counties. Peanuts and rice are up. Wheat is heading low, but appears to show a hng well de veloped head. Tho Irish potato crop from indications, will bo fine and large; plants are blooming generally. Digging will soo.i begin in the east. Irisu-potalo bugs aro numerous and destructive. Whilo gardens aro backward they shov steady improv ment, and vegetables aro abundant in the markets. Tho strawberry season is practically over in tho cast. Fruit of all kinds is droppin from the trees. Prospects for grap cs only good. Fifteeu Citizens Arrested. A special from Greenville, N. C, says: "At this place Thursday,' fuil seven months after the State elec tion, 13 of the best citizens of tho town and vicinity were arrested and brought before United States Com missioner Ormond on the charge of conspiring lo prevent the casting of votes by lour negroes, at a prccint about two miles north of Greeuviile,, in the election referred to. The arrest was made on informa tion apparently furnished by a ne gro who was so illiterate that his mark, instead of autograph, appears or. the affidavit in evidence. Tho negro himself declares, however, that he did not know what he was sign ing, as the paper was not read to him; that ho docs not know the par ties and is wholly ignorant of tho affair in which tho affidavit declare; they figured. lie says, in conclu sion, that he was told to make li! maik, and that he did 60 without a-iy idea of what it involved. v 0 i v r .
