Wednesday afternoon at the home ofthe bride’s parents a few miles west of town, Miss Emma Hales was happily married to Mr. Robert Green of Red Springs. The Parlors were beautifully dec orated and the scene a happy one with many guest present. The cere mony was performed by Elder P. D. Gold of Wilson. The Elevator joins their many friends in hearty eon gratnlations. Governor Aycock very nroperly and benevolently pardoned a man from Taneey county because ha was not really guilty of the crime that' sent him to the penitentiatary for sixteen years. The criminal eonrt trials in this State are lamentabl» failures often, either bordering on » tragedy or playing a farce. Some thing is wrong in the jury trials un der very defective laws. The really able lawyers ought to get together and secure a just but rigid adminis* tration law in this State. Poor Norfolk! No rest for the old town.

We do not be- liev*» tiom all that we have heard, that the merit system always prevails in .the selection of teachers for our public schools. It is a disgrace to anyState to make the public school system a spoils sys tem. It is a public outrage when a dollar of this money is expended for any other than the purpose for which it is eon tribated by the tax payers, and such tax payers are discouraged disgustd #hen they know that abuses exist.

Last Monday night when the south bound Shoofly arrived the cduduc- reported^that two men had jumped from the train while moying at full speed just this side of Sharpsburg, «nd after some research the train men were unable to find their wliere- abouts. In a short while one of the men walked in town with one arm broken, and reported the other man dead. AndDr. J. E. Brothers ren dered the necessary surgical atten tion to the unfortunate man. A searching party was at once formed by the following gentlemen: Messrs. T. B. Winstead, C. L. Per ry, J. R. Dildy, C. F. Jones, Je- rome Bowen, G. T. and C. F. Dawesjsecuring a band car they were soon on the scene. After a dili gent search they at last succeeded in finding the other man lying in the rain and water with pne. leg brok- and considerably bruised up. He waa taken by the fast mail to the A. C. L. hospital at South Rocky Mount. We learn that the first men tioned man was named Newcombe and the last Wiggs. LOST—A FOUNTAIN PEN.' Finder will please return to O. J. Harrison and get reward.

The Messenger has frequently re minded that one of the great desid erata of education in North Carolina was higher grades for teachers. Poor teaching abounds and the chief reason is easily fonnd in poor teach ers. In yesterday’s Messenger a Raleigh special told how seven ap plicants as letter carriers faUed be cause they could not stand the ez* aminatioa reqaired by wvil service rules, and yet these seven held trst grade certificates as teaehers.'

CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN. (Ckarlotte Observer) In almost every town in the Soitfh the young men are seeking employ ment, even at small compensations while in the same towns skilled me chanics are scarce and high priced. While tbe young man in many a small town is seeking employment it frequently happens that there is not a first-class machinist, bricklayer or carpenter in some of these towns. The remedy is for the young men to learn trades. They should acquire practical training and practical skill In industrial life it is ths meehanic who is advanced. The best mechan ic becomes the foreman. The best foreman becomes the superintendent The best i>uperintendent becomes the president in turn become the proprL etor on his own account. Education both in common sehool& and colleges, is all right. But prac tical training eannot be neglected. Indeed the young man of twenty-one having a fine college education, .but no practical training or skill, U in a worse situation than the young man at the same age with only a common school education and a good trade, HELL ANiT who WILL- BE Tasas. It IS said that a local preacher up in Arkansas announced from his pulpit a few Sabbaths ago that on the following Sabbath he would preach on the subject of “Hell and Who Will be There.” It is farther said that on the foUowing day he re- eeired letters from two saloon men, two butehers, one groeeryman, iee-man, two wood dealers, baseball umpire and forty-nine ^de linquent subscribers to the looal pa per notifying him that if he dared to mention their names in his ser mon they would withdraw their sup port from his church and sue him for slander.—Exchange. ntxiSH nSH BECEIVED DAILT.
