FOUND WITH THROAT CUT.
Two Young Farmers Charged With
Killing a Horse.

A warrant was sworn out Tues
day against "Pig" Carter and John
Mason, the former of Bennettstown,
and the latter of Pee Dee, charg-
ing them with having killed horse
by cutting his throat and leaving
him on the public highway, near
Church Hill. The horse was found
on the morning of the 23rd ult., but
no one knows what caused his
death.
Mr.. Garter was seen by a repre-
sentative of the KENTUcKIAN the
day the warrant was served and
stated that he and Mason were in
town together on the 22nd ult.
He purchased the said horse from
Mason and they started home in
the afternoon. The horse was taken
sick on their way home and dropped
dead in the road, near Church Hill.
They examined the horse and found
he was dying. Mason suggested
that they bleed the animal, think
ing it might save his life. Carter
thought there vas no use of this
and turned away. Carter says he
does not know whether or not Ma
son bled the animal, but that if he
did, it was done for the purpose of
trying to save his life.
Carter seems much troubled about
the report current that he killed
his horse.
The trial is set for to-day before
Judge Cansler.

The Funeral of Garcia.

Havana, Feb. 13.-Major MIRANDA. who
was one of the members of the staff of
the late General Garcia, and is now an
employee in the postal service. was the
only officer to assist in carrying the cof-
fin of the late commander at his funeral
on Saturday. The bearers were chiefly
obscure negroes, and this fact has caused
feeling of Indignation against the gem
erals who We're interested in formulating
the programme of the obsequies The po-
lice arrangements for controlling the
crowd were absolutely inadequate. At the
cemetery the rabble invaded the chapel
and Governor General Brooke, General
Chaffee of the governors staff and the
other American officers were obliged tc
force their way in behind the casket. At
terward. when the coffin was borne from
the chapel to the grave, a struggling
crowd of dirty, ragged negroes impede
the progress of the bearers and Genera
Brooke and his staff and the other guests
of honor of the city and the American
generals were roughly buffeted ant
jostled.

In some of the counties the county
commissioners are Withholding a part OF
the county funds which should be turn
cd over to the board of education for
public school purposes.
The Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton has received a number of letters
from county supervisors who state that
the county commissioners have refused
to turn over three-fourtils OF the amount
collected on poll tax. The superintendent
of Public Instruction recently issued a
circular letter to the county supervisors
Of the State calling attention to the fact
that the Constitution of the State demand
that three-fourths of the poll tax shall
be turned into the school fund. The coun-
ty boards of education are demanding
their share of the money and this is what
is causing the kick.
Only yesterday Superintendent Mebane
received letter from Supervisor Gas
ton Pool of PasQuotank county stating
that the county commissioners had only
turned over to the public education fund
S1.29 of the poll tax when the tax is
$500 per poll. He demanded three
fourths (S1.50) and the demand had been
refused, the county commissioners stat
ing that the blank sent out by the State
Auditor named S129 rs the amount to
turn over to the school fund.
