Rural Graded Schools.

Supt. ]. T. Alderman, who has JUS
completed weeks canvass in AIamahc'
county writes to the Department Oh run
lie instruction of this wonderful canvass
as follows:
Rural graded schools was the malI
idea of the weeks canvass. On July q
we met large crowd of people at Spring
school house, in the southern part OF the
| county. The people had come Tor an ai
day speaking and had prepared things IL
real picnic style. Before the close "
the day the people of the community SUD
scribed $115 to supplement the puDIl'
school fund and this amount VIII Dc
greatly increased before the school opens
"On the 23rd we met large audience
at Snow Camp and proceeded with the
same program as the day before. The
people are thoroughly aroused and VIII
maintain a good school for several
| months, and $3.50 was subscribed here &c
supplement the public school fund. rms
community is among the friends, ano
they have always been the firm support
ers of education.
"Thursday, July Path, found us at OAK
dale, near the Chatham line. The day
was a delightful one and the people were
cheerful and enthusiastic. 1t is an easy
matter to speak to people when there is
such a responsive feeling among them
The subscription here amounted to $ll0
which will be increased considerably
We found the whole neighborhood anxious
for a good public school, and they are
willing to help support it.
cat Friendship there had been a mis-
understanding and the crowd was not sc
large. But We had a good day and the
spirit was good for a rural graded
school. About 800 was raised to sup
plement the school fund. All of these
amounts subscribed are good and will be
increased by personal canvass among
the citizens.
"On Saturday, July 26th, we were billed
for HaWfield Here Drs. Winston and
McIver met us and we had another good
day. This is historic ground and the oc-
casion was an inspiring one. For a CEN
fury and a half this has been a place
noted for schools and culture. Many OF
the people have moved away, buts there
are still family names familiar in its
history. We had expected to raise 5000,
which amount was soon subscribed, and
this will be increased to 5000 or more
ION Monday, the 2Sth, we were at
Crossroads and had another good day.
We followed the same program and after
the speeches and talks the question of
supplementing the public fund was con-
sidered, and about 500 was subscribed,
which amount will be considerably in
creased.
1T is quite certain that six rural
graded school will be inaugurated in the
portion of Alamance which we have can
vassed. The people are in earnest and
are determined to have them"

RICHARD BLATON'S DEATH SENTENCE
COMMITTED TO LIFE IMPRlsONMENT
Was Convicted of Rape of a White Widow with
Dick Fleming, Another Negro, Who
Was Hanged july g.

Richard Blaton, the negro convicted at
Salisbury in February of being the part
ner of Dick Fleming, another negro. in
committing rape on a white widow and
sentenced to be hanged, will not hang.
Yesterday Governor Aycock committed
his sentence from death to imprisonment
for life in the penitentiary. Twice he
was respited that his case might be in
vestigated and as result the commu-
tation was issued yesterday. He is now
in the States Prison here.
The following are the reasons for COM
mutation given out:
The sentence is committed to imnris-
onment in the penitentiary for life. The
guilt of the prisoner is too uncertain
TO permit his execution. Substantially
the only evidence against him was that
or the woman who saw him in the mn
certain light through an open door. At
first she failed to identify him and the
officer turned him loose on her state
ment. The prisoner proved an alibi by
witness who proved good character.
The Judge who tried the case earnestly
recommends the communication and saws
in his letter that but for an implied I'M
Outstanding that Blaton's sentence would
be committed to life Imprisonment he
would have set the verdict aside BIaton
proved a good character on the trial.
Many of the lawyers and other reputable
citizens in the county, recommend the
communication, most of them expressing
grave doubt as to prisoners guilt. Elem
ing, who was tried with Blaton, has been
executed and while on the gallows de-
rclared that Blaton had no part in the
crime"
