tho true solution of tho race question In tho |

number of btnok laborers from those South |
ern Suites where they aro 60 numerous mud |
so badly treated aud tyrannized over,-such |
States aa mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama,

prossors tho value Of the labor Of tho colored
men, and thus procure better trontmont for

It Is certain TINT tho discontinued blacks

A Free Use of Shooting Irons.

Mr.. EDITOR: The 1Ggis of last week contains
an interesting account of an attempt to arrest
near Fallston, man who was, with good rea,
son, supposed to have robbed store at Perry.
Evansville the night before The man upon be,
ing ordered to stop started to run. Whereupon
began lively chase with running fire well
kept up. The thief dropped the plumber and
got off. A fortunate recovery of stolen goods,
and in SO far Messrs. Michael d Hanson, the
pursuers, are to be congratulated on their
prompt action and its result. But it occurs to
me to enquire Suppose they had brought down
their quarry, had killed the runaway, who had
taken to his heels when ordered by two private
citizens TO stop-what would the act be called
in court of justiceY Nay, we do not know
that the negro is not killed He escaped, but 1t
may have been shot MORALLY. He had appor-
emily the benefit of the contents of two revolt
vers-nine shots;' we are told by another &C.
count.
What if the man be now dead? What does
the law call the killing? Has man a right TO
kill another in order to recover stolen property
Has private citizen right to hail even thief
negro thief, and then try to kill him if he pre-
fers to runY Finally, is itwell for law-abidipg
community to approve free use of shooting
irons! b.

Teachers Association of the I'd District

The session of this body at Boothby Hill on
Saturday last, was a very indifferent success o
Five teachers, one ex-teacher one visiting gentle
man and delegation of scholars from Miss Hen
dons school made up the meeting. Miss Hendon
read ali article entitled Notes on Teaching" and
followed this up with q model class drill in gram
mar. This was freely discussed by all the mem
bers present, the chief question at issue being the
merits of Read Kellogg's grammar and diagram
SYSTEM and complicated definitions. Next came
discussion of the current diffculties-rhe boy
who couldn't tell b and apart; the boy who
wanted to write with his left hand, etc. The
President then read an article entitled "A Teach
erS Heverie, and the body adjourned to meet at
Aberdeen, Saturday, December Goth.
Programme as follows Essayists-Mss Bailey,
Miss Miller, Mr.. Holloway; reading-Mrs. Chase,
Miss Winter. Miss Tammany; class drill in geogra-
ply by Miss Smith, to be discussed by Mr.. CAL
houn, Mr.. Ramsay and Miss Thomas
This is the third meeting of this body this year,
neither of which have been successful. We seem
to have class of teachers in this district who are
not liable TO any of the duties of the ordinary
teacher, who only show themselves at the lnst-
tute when compelled, and who never attend Asso-
Citations because not compelled 1t is useless to
appeal to such as these, but | would like to urge
those who have some professional pride and posi-
bly, little district pride to help sustain our assoc-
alton What the Fifth district is doing believe
we can do. Either let us make our association a
success or abandon it finally have no patience
with anything neither dead nor alive We have
sixteen teachers in district, can we not have
majority of them at our next meeting?

President.
