Ur to Their Necks in the Flood.
(By the Associated Press.)

Peoria, Ills, June LITTLE double
storm that struck Peoria at 10 o'clock
last night and again at , O'Clock this
morning, was the worst Central Illinois
has experienced since 1S43. Probably the
worst damage in proportion to the size
of the town, was at Kingston Mines, a
small mining town twenty miles below
Peoria. There were three persons killed
outright and ten were injured, three ia
tally.
George Rearden, an employe of the
electric company, was instantly killed
this morning while repairing the storm
damage at Glen Oak Park. He was
caught by a live Wire and died Instantly
George Ashlock, another lineman was
seriously burned while attempting to
eXtricate Rearden from the wire.
Shortly after II o'clock a report reach
cd the police that the people living at
Dry Run We're i'll danger of drowning, as
they mad been caught by the flood. Row
boats were hauled to the scene at once
and the police took twelve people from
their homes. They were standing on
pianos With the water almost to their
ncckS.
All communication with the outside
world was cut off for moro than twelve
hours and it was almost noon today be
fore a Wire vas secured between Peoria
and Chicago and st. Louis.

THE STATE FOR EDUCATION,

The reports from the Teachers Assem-
lily now in session at Morehead City are
such as to make one optimistic about
North Carolina being taken bodily for
education.
The brightest educational leaders Of
among these leaders are men and women
from small schools as we'll as large
schools. In his educational renaissance
leadership does not mean a great name
as an educator but it is th|ha,l mark
of earnest, vigorous effort in whatever
sphere the evils Of ignorance and Hitter
acy shows itself.
The people at Morehcad are not
theoretical teachers" but they are ag-
g~ressivc workers.. They are not content
to make speeches and wave hands in elo-
ouent rerorations, but they get down to
practical work and do things for edu-
cation.
The papers thus far presented have
been ones typical of the educational re-
vival which has as its forefront cham
pion Governor Aycock. They tell Of
what is needed to make North Carolina
the peer of every other State in its edu-
cational life, and they point out how our
shortcomings are to be overcome.
Consolidation of school districts and
local taxation is the ~watchWord of the
campaign for the improvement Of the
rural schools. When these two are Ell
fected the other things to be desired will
follow.
The meeting at Morehead is now in the
very midst of a great session which is
apt to reach its highest point in the
'Educational Rally to be led today by
Governor Aycock. That this will be OF
far reaching Importance will be recog-
nized when the men who are at More
head are considered.
The final result and the plans set on
foot at the Teachers Assembly will be
waited with interest, and so wide sweep
ing is the desire for the very best for
the children of North Carolina that the
citizenship of the State may be consid-
cred as ready to stand by the plan OF
battle against illiteracy outlined by the
teachers.

W AT KINsTON.
Ten Year Old Son of Mr.. Abe Oetinger Goes
Down in the Neuse.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer :.
Kinston, n. c., June 12.-Master Mallie
Oettingcr, the 10-ycar-old son of Mr.. Abe
Oettinger. of this city, was drowned in
Neuse river yesterday evening about Z
O'Clock. The young fellow was in swim
ming. He must have caught cramu, as
he wen down suddenly, coming up only
once. Hundreds of people lined the river
banks, watching the one hundred or more
divers at work. Mr.. Ray Cox found the
body about $50 o'clock within a few feet
of where the boy was last seen alive. Mi.
Cox swan clear across the river with
the corpse in one arm.
1T is said that Wilson has raised 500
for the support Of a baseball team in
that town. Tarboro is also raising none
to put out a team. 1t is proposed to
play nothing but home and college play
ers. 1t is thought Goidsboro and Kinston

LYNCHING OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The lynohing of the two negro boys at
Salisbury is a circumstance to be de-
plored, and this because with it goes a
spirit Of lawlessness. the very thing
which the lvnchers are trying to stamp
out.
The crime was a horrible one, and the
sight OF a young white woman, her brains
oCzing from her broken skull, beaten to
pieces by rocks in the hands of vicious
young brutcs, was terrible enough to
cause the widest passions to animate
the breasts of those who gazed at the
piteous sight.
But the inhuman beasts had been found
and the crime had been fastened upon
them. They were in the hands of the
law, and the courts OF the State would
have dealt with them. Their conviction,
in view Of the evidence which is at hand,
seems certain, ard the pity of it is that
a law abiding community has made these
miscreants reap their harvest of death
outside of the bounds of the law, and has
thus violated the law itself.
Justice may miscarry at times, but il
this case this seemed hardly probable
Pity it is that the passions of men coult
not have controlled themselves an,
waited for the vindication of the males
ty of the law.

Shortly afterwards it was the evil for

he had only three tents. One of these

miles away, and were particularly in
famed against Pope's army because of
Pope's ~outrageou orders, which had
been stigmatized in President Davis

THE BLIND MUST BE LED.

Those who most need education must
be educated to their needs, and upon this
as a basis must the great light against
illitcracy be waged in North Carolina.
That the special tax election for
schools in Bessemer City was defeated is
deplorable, but more deplorabie still is
that it was lone by the very people into
whose homes would come the blessings
of education, by the very people whose
children the State and it's best citizens
are seeking to elevate and to educate.
The rich man, or the weIl-to-do man
does not live in the same need of tax
alton for schol purposes as the poor
man. The capitalist has but TO draw
his check to pay for the education of
his children at theNvery best schools, while
the wagc-earner with many demands up
On his limited purse, must either con
tent himself with a very short time at
school for his children, or look to the
State to prepare a way for the best edu-
cation of those dependent on him.
1t is the spirit OF a desire to make
better men and women. to make brighter
and happier homes, to give to every child
the best of education that is animatins
the great body of the people of the STATE
today, and in it there is no trace of
selfish purpose. 1t is men that make ;
great State, and it is to see full braine,
men, and women of the highest intelIi

scnce, grace the citizenship of the State
that is causing the great wave Of educa-
tional enthusiasm to sweep from border
to border.
How hard the fight must be is shown
by the result of the election at Bessemer
City. There it is reported that the fac
tory owners voted for the tax, while the
factory operatives voted against it. It
is a case Of the blind turning in their
blindness upon their clear sighted guides,
and thrusting away the hands that
would lead them, totter on unseeing in
the darkness of continued illiteracy.
These people have little property to tax.
and but one conclusion can be drawn
from their votes. 1t is that they fear that
the children will be taken from the fac
tories and placed in schools, thus depriv-
ing the family of the stipend which these
little ones earn. From this prospect OF a
life time of bondage to ignorance the
children must be rescued. and the hope
of these is in the u~ndismayed apostles
of education' who are now abroad in the
State.
The watchmen, looking for the dawn Of
a brighter educational future for North
Carolina are on the walls. They see
the promise of a new light, but between
them and it there is much of darkness
that must be overcome. In their contest
they deserve the aid Of all who look to a
great future for the State.
