Seasons reyolve and we once more
greet the festival OF the "The Child /"
Who can exaggerate its hold upon the
hearts OF those who celebrate il? There
is not a mother whose birth-pangs are
vivid in her memory but that is moved
with compassion for out.cast Mary, re-
mote from tender ministrations in the
hour OF her anguish; there is not a child
whose little fingers reach out in awe to
touch the latest tiny babe in the house
hold, but that finds the manger-cradle at
Bethlehem thing to marvel at; there is
not man who surrenders himself to
thought but that sees a world-trans-
formation resulting from this squalid
birth and the legends that have gathered
around Ii; there ia not childless woman
whose heart is hungry for the pressure OF
little face against her bosom, but that
can hear in the message OF the virgin
angels, her own errand to the world-to
proclaim peace and goodwill, and to
eyer see deeper even than the contented
mother into the holiness and possibilities
OF all children.
Over al virtues let us set simplicity.
Great messages, great truths, great hap
pennings are ever simple in their elements.
Simplicity is the grandeur of the great
and the greatness OF the obscure. 1t il
the charm OF prattlng childhood; it IS
the diadem OF the learned.
Now il we divest Jesus OF the complex
theories Of warning commentators, strip
him OF bewildering creeds. which in any
event never came into existence until
hundreds OF years after his death, we
find his message to the world one OF In.
tense simplicity, Drawing in our minds
from the cares OF the conflict OF life for a
few moments, possibly we may find inspi-
ration to effort by looking back at this
man who led the world out into broad
truth whose simple character is alter
ages of thought forcing itself to the front
just because il is 80 simple.

Why Our Townships Should Vote For Local
Taxation.

/. 1t is the only way to get good,
six or eight months schools.
2. 1t has worked we'll in more than
twenty townships in North Carolina,
such as Raleigh township in Wake
county, in which 5000 children attend
six schools nine months in the year;
Durham township, Durham county,
and in about twenty others.
3, No other plan has ever been de-
vised for the successful building up of
a school system. Wherever in the
United States you find good schools
and intelligent people, you find they
have local taxation.
A. Because you want to give your
boy and girl a chance. You do not
want them to grow up in ignorance, to
be imposed upon, to be down trodden,
to be deceived and to pull down our
grand old State.
$. 1t will cost you less than educa-
ton will in any private school. Ten
cents on the hundred dollars worth OF
property is not as much as some men
pay for tobacco. Get your tax re-
ceipt, see what you are listed for, and
find how little you will have to pay to
get good schools and give your boy a
chance.
6. Because if we educate all the
people of North Carolina, it will ele
vate her politically, develop her in
dustrially, making her powerful re-
ligiously; and free her from the tyrant
of ignorance, who now oppresses hel
and exacts more taxes every week
from her people than the Legislature
ever has

Two lien Killed.

Waco, Texas, July 2S.-In the stock
brokerage office of G. E. Trice 4 Co.,
today, B. F. Kivett and w. w. Kivett
were shot and killed by w. Lamden, a
member Of the firm. Bad feeling has
existed between the Kivett brothers
and Lamden for some time, growing
out Of charges made by the relatives OF
Lamden and sister Of Kivett's. The
shooting between the brothers and
Lamden occurred during the busiest
part Of the day when the office was
crowded, and it caused intense excite
ment. Two more of the klvett
brothers armed themselves and pro
ceeded to the scene Of the shooting,
threatening to kill Lamden, but they
were not allowed to enter. The kill
ing is universally looked upon as lustl
fable.
About month ago the kivetts at
tempted to kill Lamden, inhicting
knife wound on him and they had fire.
quent1y threatened to kill him since
then. This morning they appeared in
the doorway Of Trice & Cos office.
Lamden was informed ofthelr coming.
AS they appeared in the door they
drew their pistols, but Lamden fired
with shotgun before they could
shoot, killing B. F. Kivett instantly
w. w. Kivett rushed on Lamden with
his revolver, and as he pulled the
trigger, Lamden struck the weapon up
and then grabbed it. The men wrestled
over the weapon, which kivett sue
ceeded in firing several times without
result Lamden finally succeeded in
drawing his revolver and shooting
Kivett three times Lamden was un-
injured.

rlurdered at the Altar.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July Sin the
Baptist colored church, today, at
the State Congress of ministers
Prot. P. H. Patterson, one of the
leaders of his race in the South, a
graduate of the University Of Michi-
gan, teacher in the State Normal
College and highly respected negro,
was murdered at the altar This grew
out of bitter factional fight between
the local negro Baptists over the ex-
pulsion of Rev. j. Il. Brown, from the
pastorate of the big church for alleged
immoral conduct with number of his
flock. Patterson led the fight against
him, and Rev. A. j. Stokes, pastor
of another church, sided with Brown.
This morning when the State Cong
(ress convened, an argument between
Stokes and Patterson over the Brown
case resulted in fist fight, when, some
negro from the crowd shot and killed
Patterson, The colored population is
very much wrought up. This afternoon
a posse composed of negroes captured
George Pritchett, who had gone into
the woods. He confesses to having
done the shooting. Preachers Stokes,
Brown, Bracy and Branan and five
other prominent negroes h e been
arrested A conspiracy is alleged to
have existed.
An investigation by the Coroner was
begun this afternoon, but has not
been completed. The grand jury is

the attorney general for an opinion.
An early decision must be reached if
troops are to be sent to the new post
this season.
Meanwhile volunteers for service in
Alaska are already coming forward.
This morning Secretary Alger received
a telegram from Captain w. R.
Abercrombie, of the Second infantry,
dated at Fort Harrison, Montana,
rendering his services with sixty
picked men of his regiment for duty in
Alaska and expressing desire to re
port personally to Secretary Alger
The president and Secretary AIger
have decided to detail an army officer
and company of soldiers from the re
gular army for service in Alaska. The
matter ia not yet in very definite
shape, but details will be arranged as
soon as possible il order that the
soldiers may get into the vicinity of
the gold country before navigation
closes on the Yukon river. They will
be sent to their destination via the
Yukon river route, and the offer Of one
of the shipping companies on the
Pacific to transport the men and their
baggage and stores probably will be ac-
cepted. The exact location of the camp
or post has not yet been determined on,
but it is expected to be at Circle City
An army officer now in the field, and
who has had experience in such matters
has been invited to take charge of the
company, and an answer is expected
from him very soon. The detail of the
men who will 60, will be made from
one of the posts in the west, but just
which one is not yet finally settled on.
The officials are anxious to locate the
soldiers in the gold country as soon as
possible, and if it can be arranged they
will be sent on the steamer sailing early
in August.

A Battle With Moonshiners.

Kinston July 2S.-In battle with
moonshiners in Lenoir county yester-
day morning at 1:3o O'Clock, Mr.. f.
T. Harper, a member of the posse,
was shot and, it is feared, will die.
News of the fight reached here yes
terday in letter to the revenue de-
partment. This said that Harper was
dangerously wounded and it would
probably be several days yet before
his physician could tell whether his
hurt was mortal or not.
1t seems that Deputy Collector Hill
had information Of a large illicit dis
tilery in operation about Il miles
southwest of Kinston, on the south
side Of Neuse river. Tuesday night he
organized a posse to go and capture it.
Harper was a member of this posse.
The vicinity of the still was reached
about 1880 O'Clock. AS the officers ap

still, opened upon them with a volley

Troops for Alaska.

Washington, July 2G.-The secre-
tary of war is considering proposition
that has been made to establish a
military post in Alaska. At present
the government has no troops in that
vast territory, and in view Of the heavy
immigration now going on and the
possible danger to life and property
from lawless characters, he has been
urged to create an Alaskan military
post. The commercial interests of the
territory are at the bottom of the move
ment and have requested that COM
pany of infantry and gatling gun
brigade be located at post to be chris
tened Fort Alger,' near the boundary
line, about $50 miles west Of the
Klondyke and 1900 miles above the
mouth of the Yukon river. This body
of troops is asked for to support the
civil authorities in the administration
of law and for the protection of vested
rights.
1t was suggested that the troops be
marched over the Dyea overland route
to the post, which will be erected for
the governments use if desired, but
this will be impossible in view of the
fact that the British law, like our own,
would not permit the passage of foreign
troops over British territory without
special permission. Therefore, the
troops will be carried up tie Yukon in
a steamer, if the government c"ao ats
t, establish the post,

posed without congressional authorize.

Refuse to Furnish Plates For Warships.

Washington, July AL The armor
producing companies, having declined
to furnish the navy department the ar
NOR needed for the three battleships
now building, at the price Of $500 per
ton, fixed by congress, Secretary Long
has taken the second step in the line
marked out by congress and has called
upon the shipbuilding companies them
selves to submit propositions for pro-
curing and fitting the armor. One of
them, the Union Iron Works, of San
Francisco, has already responded de
clining, like the armor companies, the
department invitation. There is lit
tie doubt that the others will make a
like answer, although there is a small
chance that some of the shipbuilding
companies may combine to secure the
control of one of the plants, which the
armor makers profess the readiness
to SELL and turn out the armor they
need for the ships in their hands. IT.,
however, as is expected, all of the
shipbuilders replies are unfavorable,
