THE SCHOOL ia Y

The Burlington Nezos )mmenting
on the special school taE election,
says:
The defeat Of the proposed local
taxation for schools, was overwhelm
ingly defeated in nearly all the town
ships in the State. SO for as we have
heard it was not carried in dozen
townships. In few of the counties
no election was held, in quite a num-
Der the election was held in only a
part of the townships, and in yet more
the requirements Of law governing
elections were hardly pretended to be
complied with.
There was sort of COntemptuous
Carelessness about the matter. There are
various reasons going to account for
all this. One of the principal OF which
! is that in too many counties the &C
| ton Of those in authority indicated
/ that party was to be served in the ad-
ministratiOn of our school system.
That in the selection of the members
Of the boards of education, and OF
school committees, care was taken TO
select men because of their partlzan
politics rather than their qualification
and fitness for the places they were to
fill Then again people are born op-
posed to taxation, and especially an
increase Of taxes, and most Of them
live and die in the faith. Perhaps IN
the history of the State, no man Oh
measure voted for or upon ever found
so little favor among the voters. Then
too, the people seem dlslnclned te
admit that the Legislature did o.
proposed anything that should b'
indorsed or approved.

\ CONTRAST.

The Charlotte Observer com ments
on the lynching of the negro rapist in
Buncombe county, in connection with
the case of the negro Brodie in this
county, and says the law officers ap-
pear to have fallen short of their duty
in the protection cf their prisoner, in
allowing Buncombe county mob to
make way with him. Copying an
editorial paragraph from the Asheville
Citizen in substantiation of this, the
Observer says further:
On the other hand, the negro Brodie
was carried from Raleigh Jail to Hen
derson for trial, although there was
far deeper determination to deal sum-
marily with him, than there was on the
part of the Buncombe county mob.
Some of the best men of kittrell were
infuriated beyond the reasoning point,
and they had great cause to be- they
felt that they had not performed their
duty when the prisoner was safely
jailed at Henderson. That the negro
was taken safely TO his destination,
tried and sentenced, reflects great
credit on the law officers who
managed the affair, and the man
agement of the officers in the case of
the Buncombe criminal suffers by the
contrast. Brodie was guarded by mil
itary during the journey to Henderson,
and turned over to military when he
reached Henderson. His trial was
speedy and fair, before a jury of
nine white and three colored men,
and within month after his crime he
will suffer death at the hands of the
law.
1t is such summary justice as this
that will induce men to be reasonable
and allow the law to mete out the
punishment
