NEGRO RAPIST LEWIS HANGED

Fairfax, Va, June 4.-James Lewis,
col0red, who was recently convicted of
criminal assault on Mrs. Reidel, of this
place, was hung at 5:03 this morning in
the Jail yard in the presence Of about
fifty people. Lewis was quite cool and
walked to the gallows without assistance.
There was no demonstration of violence
on the part of the crowd
The crime for which Lewis suffered
the extreme penalty of the law was that
of rayishing Mrs. Ida Reidel, white
woman, who lived with her son, some
miles below Alexandria. The crime was
brutal one and stirred the indignation
of the people Of the surrounding country
almost to the lynching point. Lewis was
soon captured but stOutly maintained his
innocence. A remarkable feature of the
case was that he had three trials in as
many days, the jury in the first two cases
find being unable to agree, and in the
last trial declaring him guilty and i'm
posing the death penalty. Lewis confess
ed yesterday.

Washington, June 4.-Captain w. ID.
Smith, Of the Cuban army, spent consid-
erab!c time again to-day with the Sen
ate committee on Foreign Relations. In
a brief interview with Il representative
Of the Associated Press he said:
''The Cuban army is now in better con-
dition to resist the Spaniards and to main
tain the fight for independence than it has
been since the beginning of the war.
General Gomez has a well disciplined
army of about 10000 men who are de-
termined to hold out until their efforts
shall be crowned with victory Our SOL
diers are rapidly procuring arms and cv-
cry day serves to put them on better
footing in this respect. Our troops enjoy
a vast advantage over the Spaniards in
that they are not injuriously affected by
the climate. / may say that / have not
seen a case of yellow fever or smallpox
among the Cuban soldiers since | have
been on the island and that | have not
been sick day myself Furthermore we
have no difficulty in feeding our troops.
In the portion of the country in which
| the Cuban troops are in control the pro-
visions are protected and we draw our
supplies from this source. Our commits
saIy is therefore regularly renewed and
our supplies are received in quantities
quite sufficient to meet all our wants.
In reply to a question Captain Smith
said: 'All talk about autonomy and of
| Spanish reforms for Cuba is so much
breath wasted. There is not man in
| the Cuban army who agrees to accept
anything short of absolute independence" :"
! Captain Smith is AN American. He
! has been in Cuba for year and is an of
! ficer ia General Gomez's body guard.

owners of timber lands were not mendi-

should receive toll, wrung from the

against It, also because it placed Il

THE COUNTY BOARDS
OF EDUCATION.
Superintendent Mebane Asks That Poll
tics Have Nothing to do With the Sc
lection of the Members.


Monday is the day upon which the
county commissioners throughout North
Carolina elect the County Boards of Ed
ucatiOn. 1t is very important that care
be used in their selection and only the
best men be appointed+men who are in
terested in education and who have the
energy to advance the cause. Politics
should be entirely ignored in making
these appointments.
This is Superintendent AIebane's desire
in the matter and with the idea of prop
erly impressing it upon those upon whom
the election of the boards devolves, he
yesterday issued the following circular
letter
ITO those whose duty it is to elect
County Board of Education:
Il wish to repeat what l have said
in circular letter of some time ago. 1t
is this: That / am exceedingly anxious
that politics shall have nothing to do with
the selection of the members of the Coun-
ty Boards of Education next Monday.
1--WE cannot expect to make progress
in our public school work unless we have
well qualified, broad, liberal minded men,
and at the same time men who have the
courage to do their whole duty in the
interest of the public schools regardless
of neighborhood quarrels and fations. |
want men who will help me in the great
work of public education. l care not
what political party or what church they
may represent. Much yes, very much de-
pends upon the County Board of Educa-
ton.
Il have expressed my desire for good
men time and again and am we'll aware
that every county in the State has good
men and now if those whose duty it is
to select these men do not do their duty
| can feel that | have done my duty in
trying to secure good men on our County
Board of Education.
Yours very truly,
sc. II. MEBANE,
