DOings.

The support of the county toward
the maintenance of the Union Mis-
sion has been Withdrawn. The board
of supervisors this morning voted to
pay the 800 due for the year just
closed and adopted the report of the
special. committee to which the mat
ter had been referred, cutting off
payment in future.
The committee. which was COM
posed of Supervisors Ju F.iMyers, c.
f. Whiteside and s. 5. Hull. present.
ed a plan for the setting apart of a
building or part of a building at the
county -infirmary, to be known as
the "FOundlings' Home of Rock ISL
and County, TO be under the same
care and management as the other
departments of the infirmary, to
look after the needs of the class of
unfortunates that the mission has
been caring for.
The above name. it was pointed
out. would remove the stigma that
might attach to a child that had been
cared for at the county poor farm.
The report was adopted. The com
mittee did not charge Inismanage-
ment of the Union Mission, but APP
pears to have reached the conclusion
that the arrangement suggested
would prove cheaper than the sys
tenn of the past few years.
No Tax Ferrets.
There will be no tax ferrets in
this county for the present. This
matter was also settled this morn
ing, when a communication from
4 q o. 4. L. 4.

upon the table.
The incident. involving the appoint |
ment of an elevator conductor was
adjusted this morning after the man

ported that bridges had been INSTALL

were ordered drawn. pay
able to the King Bridge company, of
Ohio.
The visit to the county farm yes
terday. was a particularly uneventful
one. The county property was found
in good condition. and after making
a tour of inspection, the members of
the board took life easy till train
time. There was not even a game of
''horseshoes," although Supervisor
carried off the honors at
croquet and Olof Atkinson did few
fancy turns in batting and catching
flies that made him the hero of the
hour.
To Discourage Divorce.
Judge Gest addressed the board to-
day on the matter of divorces. He
recited the fact that there are 122
cases now pending in this county,
and asked that the sum OF s. be APP
for each ~one, to be APP
piled in securing the services of at
torneys to represent the state and
conditions with view of
indiscriminate release from
obligations. The matter
was laid over till the next meeting

End of What May be the Last Session Of
Famous School.

Or. r. H. Lewis school closed a very
successful session on Thursday, May
18th, which will, in all probability, be
the last session of the Lewis School
in Kinston, as great pressure is being.
brought to bear on DIR. Lewis to accept
a professorship in the Rhodes school,
soon to be erected here. At the close
of this session DR.. Lewis presented the
following prizes:( For best examination
in higher mathematics, gold dollar.
awarded to Miss Ruth Howard: for best
work in North Carolina history. book
the ''Reveries of a Bachelor awarded
to Master jennie Wagner; for best eX-
animation in junior mathematics, "A
History of England" awarded to Master
Jesse McKirne. There was a sharp con-
test in the competitive examination for
the gold medal. awarded for the best
examination paper on English Litera-
ture The competitors as a whole re-
ceiVed the highest praise from their
teachers for their excellent work. The
medal was won by Miss Annie Enid
ArchhCll who received the VerV fiattcr-
ing compliment from DR.. Lewis that in
tho thirty years that he had been teach
ing the youth of the State, he had never
read a better eXaminatiOn paper nor
better written one 1t is with mulh re-
greet that we see DR.. Lewis academy
come to a final close as he is consider
ed one of the very best of instructors
who has ever come among u.s.. and the
fact that he has trained the young ideas
of five Governors, among whom our
present much loved Governor * one. is
a matter of pride to Kinstonians. An
other curious fact, which has occurred
before is that at tho next court to be
held here the judge, clerk sheriff and
deputy ard all other officers of tho court
will be his former pupils.
Miss Mac. BraXton, the Young lacy
who carried off the Faulkner medal for
English Literature IN the graded school
here. after a very sharp contest, was a
pupil of DR.. Lewis, and only attended
the graded school for the last five
months. No matter what body is gath

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Mr.. W. E. Hocutt, of South Mills,
Camden county. asked the Morning
Boast, organ of the Southern Railway,
five questions which gave the Boast such
a solar plexus blow that it required two
columns of space to make an answer,
which the lawyers would call confession
and avoidance" In order that Mr..
Hocutt may have a categorical answer to
his proper questions, we give them here
and give an answer thereto:
First: Was it against the law of the
State for the railroads to issue free
passes to State officials or to give them
cut rates?
Answer: 1t was against the law to
give passes or give cut rates, and that
law is still on the statute books
Second And did the railroad violate
this law by conveying Judge Simonton
free of charge to some point where he
was to hold court?>
Answer: The Southern Railroad vio-
lated the law in transporting Judge ST.
monitor, who always decides important
cases in favor of the Southern Railway
Third: And did the railroads give
special rates to Wilson while he was
commissioner that was not obtainable by
any private citizen?
Answer: They gave Wilson special
rates not obtainable by any private citi-
zen, and Wilson didn't even pay the cut
rate
Fourth Had the railroad violated the
law on any of the points about which
Judge Clark wrote to Governor Russell
in this correspondence?
Answer: They had
Fifth: If so, was it proper for a judge
of the Supreme court to advise the Gov
ernor in such case?
Answer: Some lawyers will say that
it was improper; some will say it was not
improper, but was his duty Upon that
opinions differ but no unbiased man re-
CARDS it as corrupt.
Mr. Hocutt is entitled to straightfor-
ward answers. We give them above to
show him and all the world how the
Boast founders when asked a few
simple questions.
