A BAD CHARACTER,
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)

JARRATT'S, VA, Get. 22-This section
was startled and panied to learn of the
fight from home Of Matte, the sixteen
year-old daughter OF T. S. Smith, and
the circumstances connected Herewith.
Perhaps no girl in this section could be
named who enjoyed a better reputation
for modesty and purity, and her devotion
to home and little sisters, especially Of a
little afflicted one, was the subject Of
general remark.
True her father is poor and in humble
circumstances, but is respected by all his
neighbors and has the sympathy of all.
It appears that Emmett Gillian, who
lives near has shown a disposition to- help
Smith when pressed for labor, and being
in fairly good circumstances himself, had
perhaps shown a friendship otherwise.
AN. UNDUE INFLUENCE.
1t is presumed he was thrown into the
presence of this poor girl and exerted
an influence over her not dreamed of by
her rather She often helped her father
in the field, and perhaps it was there
he saw her oftenest. AS to how far
matters nave gone is conjecture. and her
return from Richmond is awaited with
some impotence, and when the trial is
over. it may be, if matters are as bad
as is feared, that Gillian may need pro-
lection.
LAW-ABIDING PEOPLE.
This section is noted for its respect for
law, and its citizens are as conservative
as can be found in the State: but there is
the muttering of a distant storm if facts
whca would Justify it are brought to
light OF the abduction there is no doubt.
Gillian went to Richmond ten days since
and was forming his plans to enter again
the service of the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad as fireman, a job he has often
held and honed to secrete this girl then
where he might visit her when he wished.
TtID ABDUCTION.
On Monday he went to see his sister,
Anna Allison, and planned the escape.
Gillian does not bear a good reputation
among his neighbors. and has made trou-
BILE of this nature bc e.
He is a mulatto about thirty-three or
thirty-five years old. and weighs about
$50 rounds He and his sister will be
taken 10 Sussex jail. He has made an
effort. but SO far has Failed to obtain
counsel. He does not show much sign of
fear, but has asked some questions which
would indicate his apprehension of
lynching. We do not look for this, how
ever.

The object of the Watson resolution
which was adopted by the Educational
Committee Monday, was fully outlined
in The Times two months ago, and the
resolution was printed in full att that
time and again Sunday morning. II is
simply TO enable theSNhite people of tue
black belt to provide the necessary school
facilities for their children by supple
menting the State tax, which is to be
equally divided between the white and
colored races according to population,
by a local tax. At present not only the
State tax, but all taxes have to be dis
tributed according to population and
local school boards have no discretion.
Under the Watson resolution all local
school taxes are to be applied according
to the best judgment of the local school
boards If these boards think the money
can lie used 10 better advantage in Civ
ing negroes a practical industrial edu-
cation, it can be done. If the property
owners know that an increased school
tax Will not have to be equally divided
between the negro and white children,
where the negro pays no local property
tax, they Will much more cheerfully pro-
vide the necessary and increased funds
for the support Of white schools. IN this
way a much better class of schools can
be provided for the whites. and system
better suited to the needs OF the young
negroes can be established.
A prominent member OF the convention
stated last night that the adoption of
the resolution in the convention would be
the most important and beneficent act
that the convention would pass, not ex-
cepting the suffrage.
