Citizens Indignant and the Sheriff Hid
ing Out at Dayton.
Columbus, Ohio, June 5.-Governor
Bushnell was asked by the Associated
Press what, il anything, ne desired to
say about the lynching of the negro at
the Urbana jail. The governor said
the sheriff did not inform him of the
existing trouble until 1t had reached it's
climax, although the thing had been
brewing several days. He had been
assured by all classes of people in Ur-
bana that the sheriff did all that could
have been done under the circumstan-
Ces.
Urbana, Ohio, June 5.-The city has
resumed it's normal condition and the
scene is changed entirely. 1t was re-
ported last evening that a mob of $50
was organizing to go to Springfield af-
ter the sheriff and such word went to
Springfield, having the effect, tits said,
of driving the sheriff off to Dayton.
He is universally condemned by the
people and is held responsible for the
shooting of citizens by the militia. The
citizens insist that he was altogether
too officious in this matter, and is said
to have refrained from ordering out
the troops. Nothing is known of the
whereabouts of Captain Leonard.
Dayton, Ohio, June 5.-Sheriff Nc
Lain, of Urbana, arrived in Dayton
last night and was quietly conveyed to
the home of his brother-in-law. A
great effort was made to keep the pres
ence of the sheriff in this city a secret
| and even after it became known he
was here it was with great difficulty
| that he was located.

FREEDOM FOR cuBAl

We are not very courageous and
war like, but we occasionally find an
article which stirs our blood. Thus,
here's an item from Cuba:
''The Spanish soldiers recently killed
six Cubans, cut them up, piled the
pieces on the table with this label:
Cuba pig meat for sale. The meat of
American pigs expected soon.'"
We can't vouch for the truth of this
statement, but it is almost universally
admitted that Spain is treating the
Cubans as brutes rather than as men.
Such incidents as the above arepOssible
and while they are possible, we should
act.
Spain, blood thirsty, cruel and un-
grateful, deserves no sympathy. Her
ingratitude is we'll illustrated in her
treatment Of Columbus; her inhuman-
ity and cruelty have been made plain
in numberless acts from the dark days
of the Inquisition down to the present
day, when she, with iendish malignity,
murders the Cuban patriots. But is
Spain alone to blame9 No. We
Americans-who boast of our love OF
liberty and freedom are to blame FOR
the dying groans OF manya Cuban sol.
der, who struggles on with a boldnesa
and patriotism hardly equalled by our
own suffering ancestors in the Revolt
ton.
And still our Christian President,
our humane and charitable House OF
Representatives refuse to lend a help
ing hand to patriots suffering the hor
rors and barbarities of SPANS second
inquisition.
Shame on theml Shame on McKin
ley and his Industrious predecessor /
Let the blood Of the thousands of the
bold and fearless Cuban patriots be on
themI
Let the ''meat of American pigs be
expected SOON" Ifany American wants
to help a wronged and outraged people,
let him gol But if we can't help the
Cubans, let US at least do the sensible
and honorable thing in according them
belIigerent rights. To the s snate: 1.-THE
blood of your murdered brother"-the
Cubsn-'cries to you from the ground.

GOOD A

Thus far farmers have taken very
little interest in the good roads agita-
ton. The cause of this must certainly
be a non-appreciation of the value Of
good roads, for there is, we believe,
no class which bad roads injure more,
or upon which good roads would
confer more benefit.
Any one who has travelled much
over u country roads realiz 70 the
need Of agitation along this line. Occa-
sionally a good road is found, but q
majority of the public highways are a
disgrace to the country and to the peo-
pie using these roads.
To the agricultural classes the ques.
tion of good roads should not come far
behind the government of the railroads
IN Importance.
We have a railroad commission, but
where is the authoritative officer for
the public roads9
1t would be both interesting and sur
prising to know just how much is lost
every year by our bad roads.
They are always in use, and all the
time they are used-every hour and
every minute-those who use thenn are
losing time and labor.
Think Of that as you are bumped
along over rocks and ruts, or are
dragged through mire and clay. Farm
products that might be sold at a profit
are left at. home because of our inatten
ton to roads and numbers of horses
5hat might be fine, strong animals. are
poor and scrubby because compelled to
pull loads that they could easily carry
if roads were better.
European travellers say that from
two to four times as much can be hauled
over roads there as can be hauled by
the same horses over roads in America.
This is food for thought. First, ponder;
then act.
This is a question whichsdeserves the
attention not of the rich alone, or the
poor only, but it should interest all
classes, rich and poor, small and great.
sLet the people awake and do some
thing to improve the condition of our
public highways.

THE AUGUST SCHOOL ELEC-
NJ TONS.

It seems rather strange that in this
enlightened age anyone should oppose
frightening our public schools. In the
early colonial days it was different.
The most ignorant man, if he was but
strong, could hunt, Dish, dig gold, and
clear the forests and easily outrun his
educated brother in the race for wealth.
But that day is past. Business and
commerce are more and more engross.

obvious that the WnedUcated man will
be the unsuccessful man in either of
these. And farming, too, is ceasing 70

a scientific and business like manner

see that science and education are ap-
Piled to his business. These facts are

and the sooner they realiz9 them and
act accordingly the better it will be
for them and for the country.
Business, agriculture, commerce-he
who would succeed in any Of these
must be educated. And if they must
be educated, we must give them longer
and better public schools And at pres
emit. the best plan, in fact, the only
plan, to secure longer and better schools,
is the plan for local taxation. We will
not say that this is the best plan pos
sible, but it will help. A perishing man
should not refuse plain food because he
can't get chocolate and other dainties,
and the State should not reject this
plan because it is not the very best pos
sible.

The Faculty Of the A & N. College Deny
The Wholesale Charges Made Against
the Board Of Trustees.
The faculty Of the A. & NJ. College
came back at the silly and fragrant
charges which have filed the columns
of the News & Observer for several
days, Saturday morning as follows:
Editor NeoU8 and ObseTUeT:-The ar
ticle in yesterdays issue Of your paper
making the sweeping charge that the
trustees of the Agricultural and Ne,
chanical College mad 'looted" that in
stitution is, we think, unjust to that
body, unfair to us, and so far from the
facts that, if uncontroverted, it must
do the college great harm. While the
board had the power to change every
officer of the institution, it so far from
''~parceling the college out among the
wreckers," changed in the faculty
proper the head of only one depart,
ment. and this we are assured was
done solely to effect a consolidation of
the agricultural work Of the college
and of the Experiment Station, and
thereby to save in this department.
about seven hundred dollars by as
signing to one Of the professors the
work hitherto divided between two.
The only other change in the faculty
was in the adjunct,professorship of
mathematics, and the addition of one
teacher to the official force.
While we, of course, cannot but
deeply regret parting from men who
have been pleasantly and closely asso-
ciated with US, and whom We respect
and esteem most highly, We, the I'M.
dersigned members of the old faculty
feel in justice to ourselves, to the board
of trustees, to the institution that we

COUNTRY VS.. CITY PEOPLE.

The disposition to make fun of people
because they come from the country is
certainly decreasing. There never was
any good apology for it. 1t is not a
courteous or a kindly thing to do,
neither is it polite, if other reasons are
not sufficiently influential to prevent
it. Allowing that the costumes and
manners of people living in one section
differ from those living in another,
there is still no excuse for ridicule.
Some honest old farmer and his family
may seem a trife old amid urban u
roundings, but not more so than some
city people would if suddenly trans
planted to the rural district. It would
certainly be a very hard thing to find
in the country young men with less
brains than are carried about by some
of the city dudes who really think they
are very smart, says the Grange Advo.
cate.
1t i'll becomes people in the city to
try to poke fun at the countrymen,
whose trade they are always anxious
to secure. There are just as good peo
pie who live Is miles from the center
of the nearest city as there are living
within ], 500 feet of it. All the intelli-
gence, culture, polish and good sense
are by no means confined within city
limits. No one likes to be made sport
of, even when the circumstances seem
to warrant it. 1t is certainly crafty,
ing to note that the tendency is toward
discouraging sickly witicisms at the
expence of rural residents who come to
town. The number of people who live
on farms, whose appearance is at all
Iaughable, is very small indeed, falling
far short of characterizing the whole
class. No other visitors to town are
entitled to more consideration, more
attention and more respect. AS a rule
they know more than the city folks
who laugh at them.
