Vuil uished Business.
The discussion of the bill providing
for the election of county board ot
education by the people was resume.1
under the head of unfinished busi
ness. Senator Fry made a short
speech attacking the fallacies of the'
republican party. He declared that
he, too, spoke for the people of west
ern North Carolina and that his peo
ple did not want a change In the law.
Venator Long, of Iredey, followed and
delivered one of the beist spseches of
the debate. His arraignment of. tho
republican party was strong)ablng
and fearless. He praised Senator
, Britt for his great speech advocating
local self-government and the' rights
of the people, but declared that the
message did ot ring true coming
from an exponent of republicanism.
Mr. Long said there was no partisan
management of the school system.
The democratic party Is willing to do
ho riorit thine The narty Is respon
sible for the educational system of
the state and should have ansoiute
control of the entire Bchool machin
ery. Ha annealed to the republicans
tn inln with the democrats in the
fight for the education of the child
. ren of the state and to cease their
partisan attack on the state' educa
tional system. . i
..Senator Ormond followed Senator
Long. He said that there was w
much animus and bad feeling behind
the present move of the republicans
that he felt called upon to speak. He
deprecated the making of such a holy
thing as the state's educational sys
tem a factor in partisan politics. To
allow' the election of these boards by
the people would bring about strife
and bickerings. There would be no !
more' harmony and the pchoola nf the
state would suffer. Ho predleteJ ruin '
for the system tho republicans advo-
fiaiaA oa It- to Vi,lnr ti.larl In Hun.

Senator Ormond wont for "Bas;ator ,

, 8nator Ormoud wa in bad pbysl
cnl condition far niai.his fl s'-jeen,
but he did not. fall to deal wftji faci,
forcefully' and Miriiewil.'v'. His s'ivh
was logical and to the point, in many
points unanswerable.
- After' his speech KeaaWr-.,; Blow
moved to table the bill. Ira.'-' with
drew his motion oiv Oii? rittitertt' of
Senator Bassett. '-. . .
Senator Bassett 'made a good
speech, reiterating mid euiphiiKl.-intf
the arguments already advanced by
the other democratic senators. , v
Senator Brttt then asked for five
minutes reply. He reminded the
senate that he challenged the major
ity to give one reason why the bill
should not pass now and he had lis-j
tened and heard noV one reason -
given. He accused the democrats of
evading the question, by appealing to
prejudice and tradition and not meet-
Ing present day issues, doing ever-
lasting violence to the principles of
Thomas Jenerson. tie aeciarea t"at
his party would go to the people with i
the lssne and that 'tho people would '
take the matter out of the hands of
those who would not do them Justice,
Senator Dockery made an earnest
speech, declaring that the whole
thing was a piece of petty politics,
unworthy even of the minority.
Senator Blow then renewed his
motiou to- tame, wnten was carried,

of murder was a man apparently
about forty-fivo years old. A little of

it Showed red and long und wiry. He
was about 5 feet 10 Inches in height

The only part of the clothes uncon

of gooj texture. The shoes were in
good condition.
Near the body were the charred
pieces of rope and the most awful of

had struggled from the fire and had
