The JEWISH SOUTH.

prehistoric Puritan accuses him with the refusal to
mngle with other blood. This may be the case, he
said in that section of the country inhabited by the
descendants of those who came in the May
flower but in the West the Jew is accepted part
of the body polite of the land, he is welcome in all
circles and as showing their liberay he stated that
in Chicago the highest salaries paid to nonJews
in the wholesale establishments operated by Jewish
influence.
The largest lines of fire insurance on Jewish prop
erty controlled by Christian agents and brokers';
that every department store State street Chicago
controlled by Jewish capital, is equipped with inn
proved automatic sprinkler plant in addition to
other devices intended to minimize the fire waste,
and that not department store owned in the
city and controlled by non.ewish capital is thus
equipped and the Jew offer no better evidence
than this to prove that he takes good of his
property as his Christian neighbor Regarding the
that the Jew loves fire. he stated that there
in the city of Chicago 165 wholesale liquor
houses 90 per cent. of which owned by Jews, and
that in the past five the loss ratio this class
of business has not exceeded per cent.
The Indemnity Exchange of Kansas City, he said
annually nsures millions of dollars of Je wish prop
erty scattered among thelargest cities in the country
and in all the years since it's organization it has
sustained Jewish loss Among the thousands of
Jews engaged to day in the activities of commerce,
not one in hundred has the physical courage ex
anime his ledger to ascertain if possible what mate
rial progress has been made within the past three
years, but that not wthstandng the cruel depreci-
alton during this time, the Jewish fire loss has
been so low, in fact the profit on Jewish underwent
has been satisfactory He referred to the
unfortunate business conditions existing which were
more than usually inviting to arson and said that if
his hearers would take the trouble to scrutnize the
reward fund circular issued by the National Board of
Underwriters for the month of August, they would
find Jewish included This the
only answer, he said, that can be rendered to the
pharsaca Puritan who has always commended that
the grave mistake of the prophet consisted in the
omission of the eleventh commandment, :" Thou shalt
not burn
If because Of environment this Puritan finds it
difficult unfetter the shackles of hypocritca cant
and inherited prejudice let him evolve himself from
the domain of Puritanism and take up his abode with

To the Honorable TIE Board Of Scaool
Commissioners- GENTLEMEN:-For bet
ter understanding of the Financial State
ment, herewith submitted. beg to call
your attention to the following:
There was falling off from the State
School Tax June apportionmenD and
the Free School Fund, as compared with
receipts from these sources of last year,
of 81 so 90 for white schools, and. from
the appropriation for Colored schools Of
81 ,0G7 %, due, according to the Comp
troller, To the tardy completion of the
new assessment. This shortage in the
White School Fund was made good in
the October apportionment. The short
age in the Colored Fund has not as yet
been made good, though, from the Comp
troller's letter, it is expected in the next
apportionment.
The amount from Collectors, viz SI4.-
13l 73, is not for one years county school
levy. but is mode up in part of. collect.
ions on back years. The levy for 1896 for
support of Public Schools Yves but ST.
72J %.
The balance on hand 81 CSC 81 is cred
tied as follows: $i,6O754 to the White
Fund, and 81 ,04S97 to the Col0red Fund.
The late Board executed three notes,
one of which, as shown under Disburse-
ments, has been paid, leaving unpaid two
of these notes amounting to 81 .SOt .S3,
dated May 20, 1896, aggregating $2.0O7.-
SD, which is an Indebtedness against the
White Fund. Nearly all of the interest
due on these notes has been paid. As
an Offset TO this Indebtedness there is
due from Collectors on levies of 1895
and 1896 $l.466-42. total of 81, 73I s5
and judgment on levy 1891 for $s65 43.
total of $i,.3l So with interest, which,
when paid. will fully discharge the above
obligations.
With reference TO our financial status
at the present. beg TO state that the
two notes referred TO above is the only
Indebtedness of the Board, The balance
to the credit OF the White Fund, the Oc-
tober apportionment and collectionshave
enabled us to pay the Bank loan. $2,9i0,
which we were compelled to negotiate,
in consequence of reduced receipts, to
pay the salaries of teachers of White
Schools for the summer term, and still

tions for the Fall Term ended Nov. 18th

Messrs. Editors Having read in the
Calvert Gazette an account of the unfor-
tunat shooting which was compelled to
be done at this place ON the 18th instant.
In which it was stated that the parties
had been engaged in gambling ar throw
ing dice in the store OF Mr.. Brewer,
beg leave to state that the paper has
made an entire mistake in that particu-
lar, as | was there at the time and have
resided for years within stones throw
OF the store and can confidently say that
Mr.. Brewer has never allowed q card to
be thrown or any species OF gambling to
be done in the store. He has ALWAYS
endeavored to keep an orderly house
and has the entire respect and best
wishes of all the people who trade with
him The shooting could not possibly
under the circumstances have been
avoided, and she parties shot,were among
MIR. Brewers friends and customers. No
one grieyes more over the sad necessity
than Dir. Brewer and his kind and oblig-
ing clerk, Dir. Walter T. Brewer. and no
one. am snre, will testify more strung

TO GO TO THE LOWEST BIDDER.
The Stewards Refuse to Print the
Supreme Court Reports.

The Council of State will have to give
out a contract for public printing tbook
work. sooner than it had anticipated. 1t
viii have to be done at once, too, and even
then it is probable that the 10th n. T..
Reports Supreme COURT will be delayed.
And this all comes about by the very
proper refusal of the Stewards to do the
work, their contract as public printers
having expired July /. 1t has been eH-
pected, though, that they would do II
and they had promised to do all work
coming in to them before the expiration
of the contract. With the understanding
that the copy for the report would reach
them before that late they made requisi-
ton on the Secretary of State for the
necessary paper. But the copy was I'M
avoidably delayed, and now the work will
have to be given out to another printer.
According to the decision of the Council
of State it must go to the lowest bidder.
The Barnes get only the job word-all
work of less than $50 pages-and the
book work is to be given out to the lowest
bidder as orders for it come in. This is
the first order under this new arrange
ment.

CRAWFORD HOLDS OVER
BOARD REFUSES TO CONFIRM AS INSANE
ASYLUM STEWARD.
But DR.. Kirby, the Superintendent, Will Not
Nominate Any One EIse--Drs. Mott
and Davis Continued.

There was meeting of the Board of
Asylum held at the Asylum yesterday
afternoon. The following directors We're
present: Messrs. J. Rowan Rogers, of
Wake; Jesse Ball, of Wake; J. Q. Will
liams, of Wake; Jno. r. Smith, of
Wayne; DR.. J. w. Saunders, of Carteret;
J. c. Bellamy, of Nash, and Geo. Is.
Curtis, of Haffax-all except Mr.. ]. d.
Biggs, of Martin.
For several months, Dr. Thos. Mott,
formerly of the Morganton Hospital, and
DR.. Geo. Davis, of Beaufort, have been
acting as assistant physicians at the
Asylum. The superintendent was au-
thorized to continue them, though they
were not elected for any stated term. DR..
Motifs salary is 81 200 and the salary of
DIR. Davis is $1,000.
The superintendent nominated Mrs. NJ.
e. Whitaker as matron at a salary of
$50 per month, and the nomination was
confirmed.
The superintendent renominated w. X.
Crawford, Jr., as steward. He has been
steward of the institution for a number
of years, and has made a capable and
popular officer. DR.. Kirby, recognizing
his efficiency, presented his name for re-
election. The board refused to confirm
the nomination, the vote standing: For
confirmation, 81 against confirmation, 5.
AS the board cannot elect any man
steward unless he is nominated by the
superintendent, Mr.. Crawford will hold
over, and perform the same duties and
draw the same salary as heretofore.

HIS SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Fernando Bullock, of Pitt County, Gets
Five Months Off His Term.

Governor Russell yesterday committed
the sentence of Fernando Bullock, con-
victed of assault with deadly weapon,
at the April term, 1896. of Pitt Superior
court, and sentenced to twelve months
in the county Jail.
In committing Bullock's sentence GOV.
Russell gives the following reasons:
1.-THE presiding judge and solicitor, af-
ter due consideration and upon informa-
ton obtained after the trial, urged the
communication of this sentence to three
months. The prisoner has already been
in Jail six months. Mayor Russ, of Raj
eigh files a paper stating that from in
formation recently obtained in visit to
Pitt county, he is satisfied the public
sentiment is strongly in favor Of releasing
the prisoner from further punishment
and the same representation is made by
the sheriff of the county and by several
other county officers and by many citi-
zens. The prisoner has already been
confined for six months. 1t seems that
there was strong provocation for the as
sault. Let the sentence be committed to
seven months in the county Jail. The
prisoner to be discharged at the expira-
ton of seven months from the first day
Of his incarceration. The prosecutor or
party injured earnestly asks for pardon
Of the prisoner"
