Special Correspondence.
Dover, Feb. U Mr. E. C. BrooVi, of
Trinity College delivered an address
here yesterday envening at eight o'clock
in Richardson's hall to a large and ap
preciative audienca composed of the
students of the Dover State high cchool
and citizens of Dover. From' the very
first moment Mr. Brooks captivated
his audience. His subj ct was, "hy
We Educate or the Purpose of Educa
tion". He discuucd briefly the educa
tion of centuries ago and the criticisms
then as compared o the education of
today and its criticisms now. He show
ed the tendencies of all lines
of all elucation.il w r)r of the pre
sent day toward the praci:al side of
life, and how attention is being direct
ed toward commerce and especially
agriculture. He said that every old
pine stands to-Jay as a living, monu
ment of our forefathers' incompetency
to use aright what God has given them;
that we no longer have text book in
the personage of incompetent teachers
whir were such firms believers in the
three "R's" as we had during the gold
en age of carpet-baggers and Recon
struction Days, but that today we have
educated men, men trained in their
work and "they don't teach as they
used to"; that we no longer havi in
our antiemetics such words as ' tret",
"tare and "cloth", but instead we have
problems dealing wiih and pertaining
to the commerce of to-day; that man
have ceased to prohibit their fe lowman
from preaching in the litt'e school
house and characterizing him as "a
teacher of false doc'rines" just because
he does not weir the cloik of their
special and narrow creed, but instead
we have become more cism ipolitan.
Mr. Brooks spoke forty five minutes
and, when he had fiiwhel, sever.il
audibly remarked, "why did he stop?'
He left here on thti ear.y trun this
morning for Morchnad whjre he will
deliver an aldress to the pople and
school of that town to-night. Tomorro w
in New Berne, he will sp?ak to the
teachers of Craven Co. in the au iitori
um of the New Bern high school after
which luncheon will ba served in the
kitchen of the schools' domestic depart
ment by a class of the tenth grada girls
Dover boasts of having the only first
grade State hih school in the country
and its Principal is Z. A. Rochetle, a
"Naughty-Sx" mm of Triniry. Mr.
Rochelle recently at' ended a meeting
of the principals and superintendents
of the southeastern counties of the
State which met in Gdldaboro last Fri

Found Guilty of Burglary In The
First Degree.' .Will fie
Electrocuted April '
the 29th
As on the previous day, tha court
roonj wa pacced yesterday .morning
with apeetitor who were eager , to hear
every word bf the (rial of Jesse White
bead who was on trial for bit Uf for
burglary in the first degree, and dee- j
pite the fact that, the crowl Was im
mense every word of the evidence could
be distinctly heard in any part of the
vast court room.
After the jury had been brought in
from the hotel where they had spent
the Drevious night, Mr. Leon Williams
awteind kfttt,o'ftt9ftt
defendant, made a powerful "abpeal to
the jury for the man'a lifeV.At the
close of his eloquent speech there waa
hardly a dry eye in the room. ,- .
At the conclusion of MrtTWilJiama'.
brilliant appeal Judge Peebles began;

points in the testimony of the witnesses
and the law which covert the criroa by
which the jury was guided in rendering
their decision. At the conclusion of
the Judge's charge the jury filed into
their room to decide upon the case.
After being out about an hour and
ten minutes the jiry filed lit and rend
ered their decision which was; that the
prisoner was guilty of burglary io the
first degree. -
At this juncture every person in the
court room was motionless, and a pin
could have been heard to drop. Tne
prisoner, who had sac in tne prisoner's
box all through the morning in an ap
parent state of seml-coniciousness
evineed no exc'teraent at the verdict.
but kept his eyes turned toward the
flsor.
Alter ordering the prisoner to stand
up, the Judge, in a very solemn maimer
passed the sentence upon him, which
ordered him to b; electricuted at the
State's prson in Reigh, N. C , on the
29th of April next. Even as the a fql
sentence, which meant the rushing ot
his soul into eternity was passed, he
showed no signs of anxiety or car,
about hi 1 fate, and there waa much
comment about the powerful nerve and
indifferenee he displayed.
From the outaet of the trial, and even
at the prelim nary trial before the May
or it Wis seen that tnere was n chine j
for the man who has been committing
hh depredations in this city for the
past twelvA months, to escape Uh elec
trie chair or a life sentence in the pen
itentiary. Ttie counsel for the defense made a
motion for a new trial but thu was re

that an appeal for a new trial will be
made to tht Sdprom Court.

unless he pays his poll tax for the yen-,

I bop you will see that our people at
tend to this at once. 1
I would suggest that you call thii
fact to the attention of your

at once. There is no time for delay, :
The great gains the party made in the
laat election, increasing our vote from
79,017 to 114,834, and the election of
three Republican Congressmen, with
the steady decrease in the Democratic!

that thl State" will soon be in the lie-.
