County Home; J. H. Gmganus
Appointed Successor
*Vheir regular meeting here yester
day" was a busy one for the county ,
commissioners when problem after ,
problem was. up for discussion. Thr j
recorded facts of the meeting tell a [
different story, however, for they |
represent not more than an hour'*- j
work. The commissioners worked at j
points of law, explained this thing |
and that thing to citizens appearing
before the meeting from all over the |
county, and in the end doing nothing
more than renewing a $20,000 note, ;
turning the tax books over to the 1
.-heriff, and appointing a new keeper
for the county home.
No action was taken in a number
of eases where applications for help
wert made, but a general understand

Kiriston Offered Million
Dollars for Power Plant
Kinston, Nov. 7.—The Chambei
of Commerce ' here has proposed
that the city council reconsider the
' question of selling the municipal
power plant. The- council rejected
offer* for the property a few months
ago. Indusrties moving into the State
from other parts of the country are
not locating in this- section because
of the power shortage, officers of
the chamber of commerce declare.
They would have the local plant sold
to private interests who would en
large it or hook it up with one of
the big power the coun- 1
try. A northern concern is said to be I
Tilling to pay approximately $1,000,-
000 for it

Eleven Negro Boys Caught

Saturday Night
1 The spotted ivories were doing heavy
; duty at the hands of eleven negro
boys early last Sunday morning at
the municipal light and power plant.
Hut. the little blocks entered a period
of rest for an indefinite time all of
a Midden when Night Policeman Alls
brooks arrived upon the scene. Tht.
uice made such a quick departure,
tnat some doubt us to what had been
. go ng on was expressed by the night
j coii. The attempted escape of the
ftPvV'n —negroes established their
j?iiHt, however, for like mice before a
cat, they went to every nook and
comer in the power plant. While one
or two shielde/1 themselves behind the
water pumps and engines, the re
maining ones ran to the boiler room
and crawled to the top of the boilers.
/.llshrooks shouted his orders, and i
few seconds passed before he had
1 ten of the boys lined up. Facing the
barrel of the officer's gun, the alleged

Nothing but the postofflce will re- J

employees of banks and stores and

After discussing the closing of the j
M'hool here that day, officials thought j
it almost useless to hold classes when
so many of the students would be okL I
of town for the day. Last year the

and a very poor attendance resulted.
The day will be made up, however,
stated the principal this morning.

DR. A. T. ALLEN
j TALKS TO SMALL
AUDIENCE HERE
Makes Splendid Address at
School Auditorium
Sunday Night
IS SECOND OF SERIES
Exp.aint Coat of Public Education and
Telia of Many Difficulties
Educators Face
The second of the series of com
munity meetings was held in the
school auditorium when Dr. A. T.
Alien, Superintendent of Public In
struction, made a splendid talk to a
small but appreciative'audience. The
reeling was opened with prayer by
Rpv. T. W. Lee. Rev. C. H. Dickey
was in charge of the meeting.
Dr. Allen, following the assigned
subject, "What my work or profession
is doing for the advancement of
Christie citizenship in the State of
' North Carolina" went on to explain
' the cost of public education and the
multitude of difficulties we have to
' face in an effort to carry it ever on
i ward. The exact cost of a lesson can
be tabulated, the speaker said, but to
determine the value of a day's school
] ing was impossible. But even if it be
impossible to compute the true re
turn from a day in school in concrete
terms, there is a growth that shows
in all future life. A
Mr. Allen outlined the progress ot
the school system in our State, and
pointed out the important places in its
.trend upward. The speaker very
skillfully showed the valye of his
piofession when he pictured the re
sult should the doors of the schools
be closed and not a dollar be raised
for education.

, joy his old age in his favorite sport
1 of riaaing poultry and trucking.
Everything went well with him until

s in the grip of the dreadful disease.
He gradually grew worse until the
end came. .•» , ; •

oniy with more earnest zeal th in he
, did.
, Although there are only a fe.v
jH"o|le of the name Gano in ilii&
country, the forefathers of the tic
. ceased came to America in 1661
J figured prominently in the sej.-
, 1 tlinient, freedom and development of
the country. When Stephen Gano, a
Kteuch Hugenot, sought more free
dom and came to America, he pur
chased 80 acres of the uplands and 10
ucres of the meadw land on Staten

# where New York now stands.
~ A later grandfather, John Gano, or

Losantoville, later changed to Cincin

In October, 1863 Stephen was born

was when he served as page in the
' L'lilted States Senate during fiye ses

work-in addition to his contact with
! many of the foremost American states
* men. Among the intimate friendships
1 he built as a boy of eleven years, I

' Pacific railroad. Later he was traffic
manager for a large pipe and stell
8 company which job he gave up to be- j
" come freight solicitor for the Penn- i
' sylvania railroad with headquarters

strenuous and he bought a farm and J
' settled near Virginia Beach. The de-
I velopers of that resort wanted his'
land and he sold out and came to this
• county where he made his home for i
' more than a year. During that time
he proved himself a worthy citizen
5 and a loyal friend to everybody he

NO CLUE TO KILLER
Movements of Dead Woman Checked
Up To Sunset Sunday Evening-
Murdered About Midnight
Mittie Boston, 30 year-old negre.%l,
was found dead yesterday ' morning
just a short distance thin side of
Dardens on the Atlantic Coast Line *
Bail road track with several hatchet
Jr axe wounds in her skull ;ind face.
, Mystery surrounds the murder, and
after searching for-clues the greater
l«irt of yesterday, officers were at a
OPS to assign any motive 4f»r "tlie
brutal crime. •
Coroner S. B. Biggs with SfterTfl
itoebuck visited the scene yesterday
iiiorning and held an inquest over the
body. The information gained amount
ed to little, and the jury stated in i.ts
\erdict that tlje woman came to her
death by / axe htMfcltched wounds in-
by some unknown person or
persons.
j- - Sunday afternoon .the woman weal
to the home of Obadiah Moore, near
" place -where -the-body was -fmmd
at 7- o'clock' yesterday morning. Ac
cording to evidence given at the Moore
-lorne, the woman left there about
three o'clock that afternoon. ' While
>.he was there Walter Moore, for
whom she was said to have worked
and "Clyde' Wynne came for her, but
| she refused to leave with them and
!K to Plymouth. Sometime after
I Moore and Wynne left she went out
of the bat;k door of the Moore home
and was not seen any more by that
Uimily. It is understood, however,
that she went from the Moore home
to that of a negro named Cordon who
also lives near the spot where the
body was found. She remained at his
home until a short while beftire~iuh
si t when she Jeft atid went down a
little jjiath leading across the railroad.
Nothing more was seen of her untit
the body was found lying partly on
the cross ties and on.the ground about
thirty feet from the point where the
little path she had followed from Cor
. home crossed the railroad.
It is the general opinion of those
who visited the spot and saw the body
, 'hat the woman was murdered some
place nearby and her body was placed
lon the railroad tu make it appear '
a i i it she was killed by the train. The -
body was found before the train pass
ed yesterday morning, and the wounds
in the head clearly showed she had
hei n murdered. Three separate
j wounds were" inflicted ,one across the
j n«, M-, and two' on the head, one of
which was about the length, of an
axe and almut an inch deep.
Coroner lliggs stated the condition
I of the body indicated that the mur
d'ej was done around midnight or
Mii.hnm- or "" Intel- —l—_
| Officers searched the two houses
1 where she visited Sunday afternoon,
6ut no ,evidence could b« gained.
There was very little blood at the
body, and the only thing connected
in anyway with the killing was her ■
hat which was found abotit 111) feet
from the body. This led officers to be
liive that the body was carried from
th little path down the railroad af
ter the murder was committed some
place else.
Late yesterday afternoon, the body
I awaited burial arrangements, the
j county refusing to dispose of it and
iciatives claiming they were to |WM»V
I to bury the body. However, this morii-
I ing a cheap coffin was purchased from
a firm in Jamesville, and interment
j was made this afternoon. Her body
met with almpst the same fate as
j that of John Henry Boston, a relative,
who froze to death in the big snow
| last March. His body was placed in a
barn to await burial after it had been
i refused admittance into the homes of
| realtives -of the old man. The mur
