To School Officers of Josephine
County.

o Schooi Ofiicers OF Josephine
County.
Having recently learned that agents
for books and school supply companies
are land have been inducing school
officers to purchase books and school
supplies by leading patrons and school
boards to believe the state and county
levied certain per cent extra tax to be
used in all districts for library and
school supply purposes, it becomes my
duty to warn all school officers against
such agents and how they shall use the
moneys, by calling attention to section
30, Of title ~, page 81, articles II and
20 Of section 48, Of title vi, page II and
title XII, page 81 Of Oregon School laws,
1901 edition,
The titles, sections and articles OF The
school laws here above mentioned, ex-
PLAIN themselves and have sworn to
enforce and obey them.

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, N. c., Sept 1.-Mr. Dean A.
Simpson, a most worthy and exemplary
young man. who was in charge of R.
Blacknall e. Sons, West Durham, drug
store, died this morning about 945
o'clock in the bed room in the rear of
the firms store. under most sad circum-
stances. When found the young man was
suffering from the effects of some drug.
Physicians worked heroically to revive
him. but to no avail. The deceased is
thought to have died from morphine
poisoning. whether taken by mistake or
through suicidal intent is not known. If
The young man had any trouble, no one
knew it, not even his most intimate
friends.
Mr. Simpson came to Durham a year or
so ago from Roxboro. By his exemplary
habits and strict attention to his duties,
he won many friends among our people
AS soon as possible the remains were
removed to the undertaking rooms of r.
I. Howerton q Son, where they were
prepared for burial. Relatives of the de-
ceased at Roxboro were notified, ard pur-
suant to their instructions, the remains
we're shipped to that place on the Ass
Norfolk and Western train this morning.
Interment will doubtless take place in
the cemetery of that town tomorrow.
The death of Mr. Simpson is quite a
shock to every one of his acquaintanees
in this city and West Durham and also
in Roxborot where he spent many years
of his life
The graded schools of Durham, East
and West Durham opened today with
large attendance at each. Mr. Walter
White takes charge of the Department
of Drawing and Manual Training in the
city schools this session. Miss Adelaide
Ramsey is assistant in drawing; Miss
Lille Jamison, Supervisor of Domestic
Science, and Miss Mary Shaw, Assistant
in Domestic Science. In addition to the
schools above mentioned, those of the
county also opened today.
The Durham Chamber of Commerce
meets tomorrow night. At that time the
matter in regard to a union depot for
this city will be brought up. The meet
ing promises to be a most important
one.
Sam Baton, the colored man who was
crushed to death Saturday afternoon in
sewer ditch, was buried Sunday. A
report was in circulation among some
negroes today that two or three more
were buried under the cave-in and were
still there Investigation proved that
there was nothing in the report.

DUPLIN STANDS BY WAYNE,
Grand Jary Gives Expression to It's Views in
The Tom Jones Case
(Special to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer.)
Goldsboro. N c., Sept. 1.-The grand
jury of Duplin county, in making their
report last week to the Judge of the
Superior court, embodied therein an ex-
preston of sympathy for their sister
county of Wayne in regard to the recent
Tom Jones outrage near Seven Springs,
and a commentator of the verdict of the
Coroner's jury over the lynched negro,
which verdict, it will be remembered, also
commended the action of the citizens of
that community who dispatched the ne
gro with such little ceremony. No YER
dict in recent years by a coroner's in
quest has attracted so much attention.
1t has caused members of the jury to re-
ceive personal letters from strangers
commendatory of the verdict, and has
also been approved by some of the news
papers in the South.

RErusEp ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
A Tenant offered This For Ten Acre Crop in
Tobacco.
Especial to News and observer)


Goldsboro N. c., Sept. AT the high
prices which the weed is selling on tiil0
market at present there is prosperity
ahead for the tobacco planters. Mr. y
B. Barger, of the Pikeville section OF the
county, has tenant on his plantation
who has ten acres in tobacco. for Whlcn
he was offered $1,000 in cash one day last
week and refused it. This beats raising
cotton by big odds. 1t is safe to say
that there is not one acre of land IN
North Carolina planted in cotton this
year, from which the planter will re-
ceive 800 gross receipts. 1t would take
two 500 pound bales of cotton at ten
cents per pound to make hundred dol
lars, and it is very probable that no
one acre of ground in the State Will
produce two bales of cotton this year
