Tuscola Academy, Junior College, Will Open Here On Next Monday Mo NOTHING NEW IS REPORTED HERE IN ROSE CASE Officials Reruse To Disclose The Whereabouts Of Alleged Murderer Few new developments have been made in the case of Charlie Rose, 17-year-old negro who is in jail some where charged with the fatal shoot ing of Deputy Sheriff Will Ray who was a member of a posse searching for Rose who was said to bp the one that attempted to assault a 5-year-old white girl at a hotel here on Fri day, September 2. In an interview with Sheriff Lowe Tuesday, it was learned that the reas on Rose was carried to the Bunconibo county jail last Wednesday was not because officials here feared mob violence, but for other reasons which were not made public. "Then too," Sheriff 1-owe stated. "1 needed re-1 and so did my men, and that t'avt; together with our other reas-ms prompted us to transfer the prisoner to Asheville." "The people here cooperated with me-- in' every respect, and I siiverely appreciate, that," Sheriff Lowe con tinued. "Not at any time were we afraid that we would have trouble with a mob, because such spirit did not exist as far as 1 know." When Sheriff lAwe was questioned as to the present whereabouts of Rose he merely stated, "IIe was car ried to Asheville-temporarily, and is probably there now, or perhaps he is in thp Haywood County jail, but at any rate, he is in a safe plaee until time for his trial." Whether he was removed back here or to sonic other place could not be definitely determin . u i n .11 Sheriff Lowe's statement. Very little talk is being heard around the streets about the ease and almost every instance complimentary i uni'. ks are made as to the way offi cials met with the seriousness of the situation last Tuesday night. Stmie however, at first could not understand why Sheriff Lowe should send Hose to Asheville, but if the '.public only knlw the main motive behind this act the opinion would have been different,. it was pointed by otliciais Investigations have .been continued in the assault case out no new de velopments were made public by offi cials. There were rumors oi new de velopments but none were confirmed by officials and were entirely ignored, and branded as "street talk." Solicitor John M. Queen is in Gra ham County holding court and was not expected back in the city before Thursday or Friday. Mention has been made of getting a special term of criminal court here to try Rose, hut this fact remains to be seen. , . I . . . .1 - There is, however, a regular criminal term slated for this county November 28. "Red" Lenoir, one of the four neg roes arreeted last ' Tuesday night charged with aiding and abbetting Rose, was released on a $500.00 bond last week. The other thre,, are still confined to jail. About the most sensational develop ment at all, and of cours,, this hap pened a week ago, was the manner in which Ro.se was carried to Ashe ville. Hp was placed on the elevator, carried to the basement of the Court earrieu io -mc lmcuiiui'1i.-ii". House, which is also tho county ga - rage, and placed in the rumDie seat of Kenneth Lowe's car, son of Sheriff Lowe, and then the top of the rumble seat locked securely and then Mr. and Mrs. Lowe started for Asheville. They slipped out of Waynesvifle unobserv ed and made the trip without any trouble whatever, Clean-Up Day Is Observed At Bethel High School Friday Last Friday was clean-up day at the Bethel High School. The day was designated by the Bethel P. T. A., and the friends and patrons of the school were invited to send teams and wagons to haul gravel. The teach ers and pupils cooperated by bring ing picks, shovels, soap, buckets and cloths, and in assisting jn the work. All the windows in the school house, all the seats, all the desks and all the wood work was given a good 'clean ing by the girls, while the boys went to work with pick and shovel leveling off rough places, and filling in depres sions. Some of he boys brought scy thes and mowed weejjs and briars. Some twenty-fiv- or thirty loads of gravel werP hauled and placed in low places. The result of the efforts ex pended is a big improvement in the looks of both building and campus. "This project is just one example of the fine school spirit that exists at Bethel," said C. A. Hanson, principal of the school. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1932 William B. Ferguson, Jr., Native of County, And Educator of National Reputation To Head Institution. UNIVERSITY OF N. C. WILL ACCEPT CREDITS Long A Resident Of Way nesviUe Passes Away Early Tuesday Morning. Beginning next Monday, Waynes viUe and Haywood county will bo tho home of a junior college. Th new seat of learning has been named Tus cola Academy, and is under tho super vision of William B. Ferguson, Jr., an educator of national reputation, and a native of Haywood county. In making the formal announcement, Mr. Ferguson stated that from a fin ancial standpoint many young men and women could not utU.ui college during the next few years, and thut he simply took advantage of an op. porlunity and made arrangements with Dean Wilson, of tho University of North Carolina, and other ofllcia's of that institution whereby students passing work under Mr. Ferguson would be given credit for first and second year work just the samo as if they actually attended the classes in ' Chapel Hill, At regular periods Mr. Ferguson .will make his report to tho University on the work accomplished by each student. In this way the University officials can readily check the work of each student if that student should later care to attend at Chapel Hill, The school will be held in the office building opposite the LcFaine Hotel on Main Street. This building was the home of the first library Way nesviUe ever had, and Mr. Ferguson was the first librarian for Waynes viUe, Mr. Ferguson's father used tho building for a law office for many years, and it was there that young Mr. Ferguson was first interested in school work and public work. "At. the. ape of Hi he was a iubstitUt'-: in teh public schools here. The courses taught in the Academy will bp of the same standard as those '"fc Z?t i -l. u.. l. ....ii i books will be used and also the same methods of teaching. One of the outstanding leaturea of the Academy, it was pointed out, was the fact that the pupils would receive individual poaching, as there would bp an instructor for each (i pupils in stead of the college requirement of 12 for each instructor. Regular-college hours for each study will be ad hered to throughout, it was said. In speaking of the purpose of the Academy, Mr. Ferguson stated, "It is my endeavor and firm purpose to start and maintain TUSCOLA ACADEMY here on a high plane of usefulness to the youth of North Carolina, giving preference always to those of Hay wood County where I was born and raised. ThP requirements and rules governing this school and its students will measure up to the best standard of all successful schools, in character, manners and morals. "Tuscola Academy has no vain am bition to become larger than will .serve its nurnose: our ambition is for ,ii i in-u n i i i T- ik..,. ; QUALITY first and always. In these hard times, it seems to meet the very serious problem of economics facing us all,-everywhere, by enabling can didates to get a College education light at home, at greater savings. "I hope it will measure Up to the need of the hour, in every way, and that the Academy will have a worthy character. The -student's themselves, and they alone, will know the real character of the school, for they will make it what it will be. Our Acad- e my motto will be merely that of the Id North State: 'Esse Quam Videri.' " old The Weather The official weather reports, as giv en out. by S. H.
