Inc lnt4iCil III CnaIk ma
ioios requested Superintendent Atkin-
son TO send him six teachers to act as
his assistants and inspectors. Though
10 was the vacation season Professor
Atkinson was unable to send more than
three OF his force. Upon their arrival
At Malolos they discovered that they
were expected to pay their own ex-
penses into the highways and byways
of the surrounding country. and were
informed that their remuneration would
be the munifcent sum OF $50 gold per
month. provided there were sufficient
funds included in the insular appropri-
alton to meet that expense. The teach
ers decided that the vacation was
preferable. 1t was their opinion that
the services OF educated men under
conditions dangerous to- life were of
more value than those OF a wagon driv-
er and other similar pursuits. which.
however honorable. do not require aca-
demic training.
The case OF several school teachers

City Police Department as special chol-
era policemen IL an unusually hard
luck story When Major Maus OF the
Board of Health decided To- employ the
teachers as inspectors he secured au-
thority from the proper source. I'm or

empted from the law which prohibits
Philippine civil employees receiving two
salaries under the Government. II APP
Fears. however. that tine Police Depart

men did not take such steps. The con-
sequence Is the disbursing officer OF the
Department OF Education Is compelled
under the law to deduct from their va

received from the Police Department
for their services. These teachers feel
that In view OF the character OF service
which they have rendered. and the sac
rifice OF their earned period OF rest that
technically should not be allowed TO
work them so great an injustice. They
contend that an effort on the part of
some one In authority would doubtless
secure them this simple justice. but no
one seems TO think IL his duty to take
he initiative.

LYNCHED IN AMHERST.

James Carter, q young negro who
shot and seriously wounded Mr.. Don
Thomas, near New Glasgow, in Am
herst county, Thursday night, was taxi
en- from all at Amherst Court House
Saturday night just before midnight and
lynched, snort distance from the viii
laee. The deed was very quietly and
expeditiously done. Between IL and
II o'clock party OF men estimated at
about 200. and supposed to have come
from the neighborhood OF Clifiords, sew
en- miles away, where Mr.. Thomas lives,
rode into the town OF Amherst. All
were masked or had their faces black
ened. The mob waited until Jsilor
John Jones left the Jail for his home,
aud then three or four OF the leaders oil
the lynching party stopped him a
short distance from the building and
demanded that he return to the jail
and unlock 1t. AT first be refused, but
was fually compelled by their threats
to give up the keys. They went TO
the jail, where Carter and three other
prisoners were confined, secured the
negro, relocked the doors, and return
ed the keys to the jsllor. SO quietly
we're all these proceedings carried out
that but few people In the town we're
aware of what was going on until Sun
day morning. After securing their pris-
oper, the masked men took him to q
point half a mile north OF the village
and hanged him to tree by the road
side. After Carter was pulled up,
thirty.five bullets were fred into bis
body. The body remained hanging on
the tree until 10 o'clock yesterday
morning.
The shooting of Mr.. Thomas oc-
Cured on Thursday night at his home
OF Olihords, seven miles from Amherst
Count House, and near New Glasgow.
An Clubhouse on the farm OF L. Q.
Payne, near by, was burned on Thurs
day, and it is stated that Mr.. Thomas
accused Carter OF setting 1t on fire.
That night the negro went to Mr..
Thomas's house. called him out, and
fred on him. The first shot took effect
10 the left breast just above the heart.
Mr.. Thomas got back into his house
and fastened the door, but the negro
burst it open and fred two more shots,
one inficting q slight flesh wound In
the mouth. Mr.. Thomas is reported to
be doing we'll and is expected to re-
cover.
