TUESDAY. DEC. 3. 1907
At a hijrh school in an adjoin
ing county last wk, a teacher
who has an envied reputation for
n forcing sensible rules in his
M-hooI. deemed it nw&sarj to ad
minister corporal punbement to a
outh of about seventeen summers
Next day the father, in comjny
with said youth, visited the
teacher ami proceeded to double
team on him. invinj: him a severe
whipping. When they had finish
si. the teacher had two black eyes,
x bruiseil face and three loose
teeth. From all accounts, the
teacher was justified in punishing
the boy. It is none of our busi
ness ho the matter is finally set
tled, but one caunot help thinking
what a fine opportunity there is
for that son to excel his parent!
liomraenting along the line, Kdi
ton (irren of Our Home, makes
the following sensible suggestion:
If your bv gets punished at
school it might I well to give
him another dose to taj-er off on
when he gets home. If you don't
whip him again, but on the other
liand you get in deep trouble U-
ause your Ivy has leMi whipped,
go off and commit suicide if you
reel like it. but whatever you do
don't take up for that boy. It
would be letter to send him to a
good orjlianage a.slum than to
tae up for him and thereby en
tourage him in his relelion and
dtvtdience.

With what looks like a prcmed
itated determination to break right
into the penitentiary, two negroe
engaged in some midnight worl
Friday that will probably UU
them there about as soon as t.
court can convene and go through
the necessary preliminaries. The
negroes figuring were Tom Hun
tley, a home darky, and one
George Franklin, alias Kid I at
terson, of uncertain habitation.
They hired Jim Crawford's two
horse wagon and mules, telling
him that they would give him $-?
for it for two hours and furthei
stating that Mr. Sheek wanted "n
in order to get some whiskey mov
ed and moved at once as the reve
nues were coming. They went
directly to the cotton field of Mes
srs. I. I). Kobinson and J. J. Sul
livan where a lot of cotton had
been left. They put on something
likr H00 or 1500 pounds and the
Franklin negro drove it to Cheraw,

Tut L'ntori county officers
might have cast their nets with
o rvults last Wednesday niiht
Lad they Iwjird-sl th crowded
smoking car of the train going
south. Fully two-thirds of the
.mwn-jers in that car, from all
p I a ranees, were carrying more
than the prr rils amount of
whiskey-, but nowhere did a guar
dian of the .law appear to molest
their hilarity or make them afraid.
From the way certain men of
that good county sat up and talk
ed about Anson a few months ago,
we were a little surprised to find
such laxness in the enforcement
of that much beloved law. Here's
hoping anu ineving mai our
officers will do more for the en
forcement of the law which goes
rtn effect in this county on .Ian
nary 1st. .'.
.none a Hifb School Honor Roll.
Another month has passed in
our school work and wc find that not
nly has our enrollment increased
hut our Honor Koll has increased
more ra pa idly- than the enrollment.
We are glad to note this for it in
dicates that our pupils are doing
letter work as time passes. A
i.umlrr have lxen kept off the
Honor Koll this month on account
of ling trady or alwnt. We
hope that a great deal of this can
l overcome by another month.
We hae Uvn execting a mi
ply of desks for one of our de
partments for several weeks but
they have not arrived yet.
The next improvement to be
made is a new school building.
"Hie plans have not been ierfect
ed for securing this yet, but it is
unucrsiooti mat u w in no a nice
one, co-sting several thousand
dollars, Nt one can fail to see
the necessity for this improve
ment if they will just visit our
preent school building. There
is not a letter location in Anson
county for a good school than
Morten, and you may le sure
that the xple of this town are
not going to let the opportunity
lavs by without taking advantage
of it.

lisposing of the cotton he
the mules in Pegues's stables
and phoned to Crawford, telling
him where to find them. Inis
information and suspicions led to
the arrest of Tom Huntley as ac
complice and Mr. Zeke Iwis,
Morveo's intrepid officer, was sent
for the other negro, who had pro
bably planned the entire job. He
was arrested in Cheraw and the
wagon with Mr. Kobinson's cotton
sheets was found. Franklin, how
ever, drew his gun and attempted
to get away.
Mr. Iewis landed Franklin in
jail last night. The negro denied
knowing anything alxut the cot
tou but admitted driving the wag
on, claiming that it contained
whiskeyv It is thought here that
he is also wanted for stealing a
gun in Monroe and for doing the
highway robber stunt in Cheraw
recently.
