THE COVER NOR, YOU KNOW
and THE STATE BoA8D or EDUCATION
WENT INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
On the Case of Mr.. Mates Of Vance Who is
Haunted by Fifteen Different
indictments.

THE Governor you know, is rather
peculiar" SO spoke a member of the
State Board of Education to me last
night. l did not deny the proposition.
The occasion was the consideration of
the case of Mr.. Mates, Superintendent
of Public instruction of Vance county,
the details of which have been published
in full heretofore. The case had been
brought before the board on appeal
There was no desire to court publicly
and so the hearing was had in the Gov
ernor's Office, where the shot-guns are
kept. while representatives of the press
were permitted to wait in the confines
of the Dew. De Kayed Baylus' office.
From all that could be gathered the
"Goye nor was rather peculiar"
Attorney Pittman who has been camp
ing on the trail of Mr.. Mates with
fifteen distinct counts in his Indictment
ms sted that the case should be heard
to morrow night Mates, who had been
here in the morning, had been promised
a hearing ON February the 10th, and had
gone home. AS a compromise the near
ing was set for next Wednesday night.
The members of the board present
last night were the Governor, who IS
rather peculiar" Superintendent Mab-
ane, Auditor Aver, Lieutenant Governor
Reynolds and Attorney General Walser.
The board heard argument from Attor-
ney ittman but could not see any ne
cessity for haste This did not please
Mr.. Pittman particularly and he is
understood to have limited as much to
the board. The people of Vance are
getting pretty tired of Mr.. Mates and
Attorney Pittman was instructed to
press his fifteen indictments, on one Of
hich Mates had been convicted.
Both sides had appealed to the State
board, Mates on the one count on which
he was convicted and Attorney Pittman
on the fourteen others, which covered
pretty thoroughly the things that n
Superintendent of Public Instruction
could do out of his line of duty. Several
fruitless attempts had been made to get
the board together to have hearing Oh
the case. They were gotten together last
night, but were not particularly anxious
to go into the case. Really IT was
only a private sort of affair, this trial
of public officer by public officers.
Besides: '"The Governor is rather Pc

IT WAS SEIREWD DETECTIVE
WORK

About two weeks ago some one stole
two bales of cotton from the gin of Mr..
j. L. Broughton, who lives about five
miles south of Raleigh. Mr.. Broughton
spared no effort to trace the cotton or
wagon that carried it away, but all in
vain. 1t was a mystery to everybody.
Finally the matter was put in the hands
of his son. john Broughton. aud Mr..
]. H. Walton, both of Garner, y. C..
These men lost many hours sleep trying
to unrlvel the mystery, and success
crowned their efforts. They found the
cotton at 3 O'clock last Sunday morn
ing buried in hog pen on the land of
Mr.. j. J. Lee. about eighteen miles
south of Raleigh. The thieves dug a
square hole in the centre Of the pen
and buried the cotton. covering it up
with hog pen manure. Who on earth
would search hog pen in the night for
cotton except John Broughton and Jim
Walton?

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.
The Winston Bill Considered Last
Night in Caucus.

The Suffrage Amendment was consid-
cred by the Democrats in caucus last
night.
The meeting was held in the House,
the session lasting from to II o'clock.
No decision was reached. Another eau
Gus will be held next Wednesday night
for that purpose.
Mr.. Rountree of New Hanover, made
the report of the committe TO the eau
Gus.
The report consisted of the Winston
bill with the property qualification
stricken out and some other minor
changes.
This property qualification was taken
out by the committee, in compliance
with the wishes of Western members,
who feared that it would nave the re
suit of making some sections of the West
Republican.
The bill was last night read and
discussed section by section, and
speeches were made by Messrs. Conner,
Craig, Rountree, Winston and others,
of the House, and by Messrs. Justice,
Travis, Glenn and others of the Sen
ate.
A number of amendments affecting
minor provisions of the bill had been pre-
pared but none of them were adopted
From the sentiments expressed last
night it is pretty safe to say that the
bin will be adopted pretty much as 1t
has come from the committee.
