LOVES FUTILE DREAM,

Really now, this thing is too bad, if it
is so. The idea of the Drummer Boy"
being so involved in love and prospective
matrimony and political retreats all at
the same time. 1t is enough to make
the little god Cupid take to weeping and
wearing black crepe for the union of
two %throbbing hearts. which his wiles
have brought together, but to meet and
separate because of the ballot box.
The cause of the trouble is set forth
in the Roxboro Courier, which says that
q Northern paper prints a sensational
story to the effect that the fancee of Con-
gresham E. Spencer Blackburn declares
that their wedding is conditioned upon
his reelection to Congress-. Farewell
vain hopes! Unless this iancee selects
another bridegroom she is destined to
a life Of single blessedness.
Then, alas, Spencer the "Drummcr
Boy must learn the Wedding March as
q retreat from the matrimonial altar, in
place Of an approach to it. 1t is really
too sad, but Congressman Kluttz is not
going to play A%lphonse to the impossible
CASTOR of E. Spencer.

THE EDUCATIONAL ERA.

Never before in the history of North
Carolina has the outlook for an APP
preaching school year been as bright as
the present.
The schools and colleges that have al
ready onened their doors have done SO
to a largely increased patronage, and the
reports which come from institutions yet
to open are that the prospects were never
brighter for d large attendance. The
enrolment at all the schools promises to
go far beyond the high water mark of
any previous year.
The cause Of this is not hard to find. In
North Carolina under the able leadership
of Governor Aycock and Superintendent
Joyner there has been conducted a cam
paign against illiteracy greater than any
campaign for a like purpose ever at
tempted in any State. The educators and
friends of education have gone to the
PEOPLE and made their plea for the better
education of the children of the State and
this plea has been heard. It's results are
being shown as each individual schoo,
begins its session.
A great work has been accomplished

And washed my lines away.
And so, mcthOught. t Will shortly be
With every mark on earth from me,
A wave of dark oblivion's sea

Where / nave trod the sandy shore

To leave nor track nor trace.
And vet. with Him who counts tho sand
And holds the water in his hands,

Of all this thinking soul has thought.

FOR ATTRACTIVE SCHOOL HOUSES

The movement for the Improvement Of
labor of love undertaken by the patriotic
women of the State, is one that will have
an effect far more reaching than is to be
seen at first glance.
The time is opportune for this work,
for VIC are at the beginning of another
school year, and the direct results may
be obtained while the schools are in ses-
sion. 1t is not so much the things that
might be done for the children, but it
is that which is aided by the children
themselves that will bring the best re
suits.
The purpose of the movement is to make
more attractive the school houses. No
matter if there be books, and maps and
blackboards and charts and we'll equipped
teachers, the school room may yet be an
unattractive place. The room may be un-
attractive in all that goes to satisfy the
eye, it may be dangerous in all that
would protect the health of the children.
: IL IN 1od1C cummings -
selves should be types of the happy con-
ditions to be found about a model home.
Flowers about the grounds, pictures on
the walls, clean and tidy rooms, every
home convenience suitably arranged, are
the necessities in this age when the
school room, as we'll as the teacher can
be made an educator.
The influence of happy surroundings
Will be seen in the after life of the chill
dren who are educated in these attract
i've school rooms. Each day a lesson of
home adornment will be taught, and when
the boys and girls today are the men and
| women Of the next generation with homes
of their own, the influence of the school
| will be seen in the attractive home.
Nothing burns itself into the life of a
human being as early Impressions.
This is a work for the whole State, for
every school district, for every school,
| and it is a work that deserves the CO
operation of all.

DRAWS A THRONC
Woody's Case to be Heard
Monday Morning.
The Warrant ard Duplicat t Warrant Lost, Miss
Harey, a Pre- ty Blonde in Short
Skirts, Appears.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Greensboro, n. c., Sept. Tho case
against J. w. Woody, charged with Grim
inal assault on a 13-year-old daughter
of Mr.. Haney, was called before Squire
Pritchett this morning. Such q crowd
assembled it was almost impossible to
hear it in his Office. SO ar adjournment
was had to the court house. A large
number of witnesses had been summoned
for the prosecution.
When the case was opened, Justice
Pritchett announced that two warrants
lad been sworn out against the pris-
oner, the original was sent to Salisbury
and under it the prisoner was arrested.
This warrant had never been returned
and could not be found; a duplicate Wal
rant had been issued and given to the
sheriff, and it had not been returned, anG
although he had made an effort to get
some explanation, it had not been given
him. He was therefore compelled to con
t;nue the case until Monday morning at
10 O'Clock. by which time he hoped the
officers would see to it. that the papers
were forthcoming.
Attorney Bradshaw, for the defendant,
moved his discharge, c~ontending that as
there was no charge against him IL could
not be held. Justice Pritchatt decided
that he would entertain no motion until
the papers were before him. Mr.. Brad
shaw then offered an affidavit for re-
moval of the case. but the same decision
knocked him out, and Woody was re-
manded to jail.
Mr.. W. d.. Pool appeared as prosecutor
for the State.
Miss Haney, with her father, was in
court. She S 4 very pretty, blue-eved
blonde; a Well developed but short
skirted girl. She has every other appear
ance of maturity, but her father exhibit

greater work which can and will be &C
complished by continued agitation. Inc
men who are behind the movement for
better schools nave not entered into this
as a mere temporary effort, but they pro-
pose to continue the work and to labor
till there can be no child in all the
State who viii not be offered the means
for an education.
1t is a grand work, and its continuance
means great things for North Carolina.

turned yesterday from the Pasteur In

pronounced hopeless. The child, who is
suffering terribly, is dying. Physicians
say he cannot live but a short time. The
child is a nephew of Senator Pritchard.
The journey back to Asheville from
New York was a terrible experience to
the father. After the train left Sails
bury the child was seized with ~convul-
sions so awful that it was necessary to
telegraph ahead for physicians at al
most every station to administer opia Ces.
At the home here it was
necessary for some one to hold
the child in bed and he frequently tore
at the pillow, as though defending IiIa-
self from an imaginary foe. He frequent

There has been no man in the history
of the State whose name has been more
identified with the preservation of the
history of the old Guilford Court House
battle ground, and his labors in the sue
cessful effort to reclaim it. and make it
a memorable place nave identified his
name With it.
Recognizing this fact, a number Of his
fellow citizens are taking active steps in
raising a fund with which to erect on the
battle ground a suitable memorial to him.
and it is q purpose in which they should
be generously assisted by all who hold
dear the history of the State, and who de-
sire to honor the memory of a man who
made it's presentation a focal point in his
life.
\ statement of the purpose to erect
this memorial has been made by Hon.
Joseph NJ. Morehead, the Vivc-Prcsident
of the Guilford Cattle Ground Company,
and a publication issued to the people

THE COST OF A MAN HUNT.

The cost of capturing an escaped crimi-
nal sometimes runs up into big numbers,
and this expense figures very largely at
times in the cost of good government.
This has been true in the case of Harry
Tracey, the notorious criminal, who for
forty-1ive days kept out of the reach of
the possess who were hunting him down.
He escaped from the Oregon peniten-
tiary on the 9th of June, and his dead
body was taken on the 9th of AUGUST
following.
Two States and thirteen counties We're
kept in a turmoil by Tracey, and both
down deep in their pockets to pay for
the pursuit which Tracey himself ended
when he took his own life. To show
how the expenses kept climbing up here
is the bill from one county presented to
the County Commissioners at Seattle,
State of Washington:
Guards . 81, 100
Telegrams 100
Guns and cartridges ............ BOB
Deputies expense aCcCunt...... 115
Telephone (estimatcd) ........ 80
Total -. $2,63S
For the capture Of Tracey Sc 900 was
offered by the State of Oregon, and it is
the calculation that when the bills come
in from the various counties in which
Tracey operated that the full amount
will approximate $4,000 or over one
thousand dollars a day.
