ter, Mrs. Leonard and placing her arms
around her neck, burst into a fit of
weeping, asserting her innocence, de
claring she never thought of burning
the birn. Mrs. Leonard replied in
sobs "sister I cannot help what you
say, the law has put you in jail, not me
snd the law must stand. You know
bow many things you have done and
you never would listen to me." An of
ficer tore the sisters apart, conveying

letter was one she had received In June
from K. L Crutchfield, the negro now
serving a life sentence for instigating
the murder of railroad foreman Beach
man the month following. It was full
of endearing terms and named a time
and place for their meeting together
a few days later. It is a significant
fact that Crutchfield several years ago
was suspected of having burned two

night a lone 'robber, masked, boarded
a fast Chicago, Burlington and Quincy

true western fashion, securing money

The train going at a high speed gave
the man no chance to get off and

A Lucky Capture. School Tax Election
at High Point. A Gratifying Co

(Special Correspondence.)
Greensboro Nov. 24 On Tuesday a
special school tax election was held in
Springfield School District of High.Point
township and out of 58 registered votes
52 were cast for the x, and not a
single vote against it. The whole of
High Point township is now in a special
tax district.
It is gratifying coincidence that on
the day of the memorial services were
being held for Dr. Mclver, an election
should have been held in the County
where he first began the special school
tax propaganda all opposition disap
peared the. vote being unanimous for
the tax. Guilford now has the lead
over any other county in the State in
this respect, there being now only two
townships, Green and Clay in the entire
county unaffected by the special tax
tax feature. This county was about the
first county in the state to vote a spec
ial tax for school purposes, and the num
ber of special assessment districts has
increased from time to time until now
there 47 white rural schools districts in
tho county. Wherever this plan has
beerf adopted it has worked admirably
and has been the means of increasing
the length of the school terms, erecting
better school houses and securing com
petent teachers.
At a well aUend-. J meeting of the
foi mtfr students of the State Normal
aid Industrial .College, held Tuesday
afternoon, it was decided to raise a Mc
lver, memorial fund. This is for the
benefit of students in need of aid. A!
thirteen of the classes which have grau
uated from the! institution were repre
sented. There are 130 lady delegates here to
day from North and South Carolina in
attendance upon the third annual con

held in the Smith Memorial building.
The first session last night, which was
the ' preliminary one, waa largely at
tended. Dr H. W. Battle, pastor of
the : First Baptist church, extended to
the convention a very hearty .welcome.
He welcomed them especia ly as christ
ian young women and paid a high trib
ute to them. He told them that the
world was in great need of such women
as they were and tnat they were in a
position to do much good. Rev. Dr.
Martin Hardin, of Charlotte, addressed
the convention, using as his text the
convention motto: "That in all things
He might have the pre-eminence"
Collossians 1-19. It was a masterly
effort and his discourse made a pro

ience. A quartet by Mrs. R. G. Vaugh

Miss Sadie Lick were very pleasirg
and especially well rendered.
One of the most interesting features
of the evening was a short address by
State Secretary Huntington, of the
Young' Men's Christian Association.
Mrs. Martin Hardin spoke for a few
minuiea expressing to the members of
the association for interest in the
works. Rev. R. Murphy Williams,

man, whom he at once recognized as
Ernest Mock, of High Point, who was
sentenced to the roads last April for
one year, on a plea of guilty of larceny.
He immediately took the negro in
charge, and on reaching the 5 caurt

papers showing consolidation or merger
ratified by the stockholders of the var
ious companies.
It is expected tr at next week Gover
nor Glenn will make an appointment of
Inspector-General of the National Cuard
of the State. There are several aspir
ants for the position.
Labor Commissioner Varner was
here today and was talking about his
work of visiting cotton mills and other
manufacturing phnts. He says that
the towns and mills are growing so fast
that it is very dimcvlt to keep up with
them. Speaking of the employment of
children in the mlls he said that while
there were children under age in mills
yet the law against their employment
under a certain age was as well oLeyed
as other laws. He declared that what
is worse needed is a compulsory educa
tion law. He has no authority to in
spect mills and there is no penalty upon
them for their failure to report to him.
He will recommend amendments to
the present law to the next legislature.
He has already recommended a more
stringent law in regard to child labor
in mills and will renew the recommen
dation. He says the only appropria
tions available for the examination of
mills is $350 a year and that the whole
amount allowed his department is $3,-
500, from which small sum the State
expects to get some brief reports, such
aa are made in New York, Pennsylvania
Missouri end other States. A gentle- j
man who was present while the inter- !
view was taking place remarked that
in a certain mill a visitor asked a very
small boy his age. The boy replied 13.
The gentlemen then asked him how
long he had been employed in the mill
and he said 6 years. There are cer
tainly some extremely sma'I chileren
in cotton mills here and there in the
State and as soma observant gentle
man has remarked a lot of these must
either be dwarfs or under twelve years
of age.
Congressman elect, Richard N. Hack
ett was a visitor here today, leaving
for home this afternoon. He talked
very interestingly about his stirring
campaign and fine victory in the eighth
district. He was asked the question
what Spencer Blackburn's attempt to
contest the election amounted to, and
replied: "There never was a fairer
election from a Democratic standpoint.
If there were any irregularities they
were on the Republican side of the
fence. The fact is that Spencer Black
burn is in this contest for another rake
off. I do not anticipate any results of
course. It will simply be the trouble
to me to get evidence to rebut any at
temp ted evidence he will present As
a mat ter of fact the Republicans in the
district are bitterly averse to his ac
tion in attempting a contest. A lot of
them opposed his election and voted
against him."
Your correspondent was informed by
at least two prominent Republicans of
that district some time before the elec
tion that they would both vote and
work against Blackburn, and they cer
tainly kept thoir word in every respect
. Insurance Commissioner has returned
from the piedmont section whereat
Charlotte he examined the Piedmont
Fire Insurance Company and tound it
in fine condition. He has approved of
the reinsurance by the receiver, Piumer
Stewart of the People's Benevolent
and Relief Association of Charlotte in
the North Carolina Mutual and ' Provi
dence Association, of Durham and says
the arrangement is a very good one for
the policy holders giving them a good
and well managed company. The Com
missioner spent two days looking up
some violations of law in that part of
the State. .
