had been seen to conceal the bottle as she
entered the hallway, and next morning the
failure to rise at the usual hour excited
suspicion. The bedroom door was forced

chased in preparation for the marriage
She had taken the lsudanum, but physi-

situation at Shawneetown grows more seri.
Gus hourly. Many inhabitants have de-

safety. Those who remain are living in
the second stories. The fuel problem is
presenting serious embarrassment. Many
have neglected to provide themselves,
and the cold weather OF III, last
two days has resulted in much
suffering. The same is true OF Caseyyille,
Weston, Cavern Rock and two other points

A RINGING SPEECH
From y Seutherner Before the Ne
tionaI Educational Association.

From = ksutherner Before the Ne
tional Educatiosnl AssociAttsa.
One OF the most characteristic speeches
OF the National Educational Association
was made by Msjor Robert bingham, Of
the Bingham School. North Carolina
Bingham Is an ex Confederate who laid
down his arms at Appomattox and turned
his whole attention TO something better In
the way OF boys school, which has been
conducted by members OF the Binghsm
family for thrse generations. In his speech
yesterday he spoke Of the condition OF the
south prior to the war and after Il, and the
strenuous efforts OF the people OF North
Carolina TO reconstruct not only their
shattered fortunes but their institutions.
We live In the present and the future. La
North Carolina, where at one time they
made 100000 POUNDS OF tobacco they
now make 80, 100000 pounds. They make
double the money. We have turned our
attention to making money.
After making com mpArisons OF the school
taxation and taxable properly with that of
other States, he very frankly entered upon
the subject oil prevailing pre)uulces Nhicn
had once prevailed, but no longer sIistsd:
The colored schools were - well provided
for o. The white. The people OF the state
had greater difficulties 10 overcome. OF the
large population In the stAte only 6).0O
live in towns, the balance living In tbs
country. That illite racy prevailed among
the people. he admitted, but added humor-
ously he would not allow IL 10 be said by
any one else. This best that can be done 10
to provide schooling for three months only.
aud the teachers receive only tl per
month, and board themselves. lie urged
the necessity OF National aid, and said that
IL $500 per year could be guaranteed to
each qualified teacher he would assert that
the finest educated women OF bis state
could be had 10 instruct not only the white.
but the corored people. We have got the
teachers among US, but what We need
greatly IL money TO pay them.
