Gives Reasons For His Action in Call
ing Attention to the Adoption of
Prof. MOses's Book.
RALEIGH, n. O., Sept. 81.

RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. 21.
To the Editor of the News and Observer;
In this mornings paper appeared an
article touching the adoption of Moses

tee of this township. AS my name was
mentioned by the reporter as the person
who called the attention of the Mayor to
the violation of the school law, and just
on little further something was said

matter" | deem it but just to the pub
lie, as well as myself, to make an expla-
nation.

of the school committee is cordial a
majority of them, | am proud to own
as my personal friends. All of them are
men of high character, and would not in
any event be Intentionally guilty of an
act that had the faint or the suspicion
of violation of the law.
Second, my knowledge of school teach
ing is limited. | am not a judge of
school books, and hence will not essay to
pass upon the merits of the book in ques
tioa. Prof. Moses is a gentleman of
great intelligence, zeal, industry and as
siduity, aud is doubtless competent to
write an efficient text book; but these
matters are not of issue here and now,
they will doubtless be settled later.
Third, | am patron of the schools,
and hence interested in their welfare. |

what | conceived to be a departure By
the school committee, certainly from the
spirit of the law, | called the attention
of the Mayor, ex ofisio chairman of the
committee to the matter. He thanked
me for it. If this be treason make the
most of it," / disclaim any animus to-
wards the committee or any one of them,
Messrs Edwards and Broughton, Prof.
Moses, or any other person or persons
connected with either the public schools
or with the book, but have the right of
speech, and crave Ms exercise when it
comes to matter in which the public is
interested.

One of Out Bravest and Greatest
Preachers.

Rev. DR.. Kilgo spent two hours here
yesterday.
He is thinker, a man Of original
ideas, has a warm heart located in the
right place, and never tires Of going
about doing good. On Thursday night
he spoke in Greensboro and raised
81, O44 towards the completion Of the
handsome new Methodist church being
erected in that city.
Yesterday he was en- route forROck-
ineham where he will preach to-day
Next Sunday he goes to Wilmington.
The secret of his success is that he
gets away from the mustiness of theo-
logy into the sweet paths of religion.

showed the statement of Register OF

for the tangled condition of he tax lists
Mr.. Jones positively denied the charges
made by Rogers and handed the reporter
the following letter which explains itself:

hope to see you and explain fully, as
soon as you come down town.
Very truly,

Notwithstanding the denial of Regis
ter Rogers the fact remains that he did,
time and again, protest to the reporter
who called to see him about the tax
lists that the mistake in regard to the
school and county tax was due to Mr..
Jones, and that he had not charged up
the unlisted" with double taxes because
Mr.. Jones had told him not to do 80.
And these statements Mr.. Rogers knows
to be true.
Mr.. Jones says he is not responsible
for Mr.. Rogers errors in any particular,
as he has nothing whatever to do with
the tax lists. He added that he called
at the RI gister's Office yesterday after
noon after receiving the above letter TO

A THIEFS PLUMBER.
To Get 1t the Owner Must Resort to
Civil PROCEEDINGS.

To Get it the Owner Must Resort to
Civil Proceedings.
John Hans, a German, along in the
latter part of Novem Der. stole from
Henry Wickenberg. two twenty dollar
gold pieces and one five dollar piece.
Though he was suspected of the theft
at the time no conclusive evidence
could be found against him until lately
when he was arrested. Mr.. Wicken-
berg is the justice of the peace in the
Wickenberg precinct 80 the case was
brought to Phoenix and Hans was
brought before Justice tombstone. He
admitted the theft and there was
found in his possession some money
and gold watch for which he said he
had paid the So piece taken from
Wickenberg. He was sent to Jail and
the law is satisfied but Mr.. Wicken-
berg is discontinued.
It transpires that so many pieces
of money bear so striking re-
semblance to other pieces that identi-
fication is attended with difficulty
therefore Mr.. Wickenberg Is unable to
say that the money found on Hans is
the money stolen from him. The
watch though bought with his plum
dered wealth was never his own so that
in order to get the property and the
money it Will be necessary for him to
begin civil proceedings against the
prisoner. There does not seem to be
enough at issue to pay the costs to say
nothing of attorneys fees.
