STATE CRIMINAL STATISTICS.
The Attorney Generals Report Shows 1850
Cases in Two Years

The report of Attorney General r. D.
Gilmer for presentation to the Legisla-
ture has been completed and from it
is obtained some interesting statistical
facts concerning crimes committed in the
State and the disposition made of them.
From July 1, 1900, to July 1. 1901. the
total number of criminal cases in the
courts of the State were 5000. against
males 1913, females 571. OF these 1926
were against whites, 400 against col
ored and 13 against Indians. The con-

RURAL LIBRARY PLAN
In Eighty-Seven Couties With
4O8 Libraries.
These Comprise 32,640 Books Costing $l2, 24O
Besides Those Started by Aid Of PIT
vate Donations.

The extent and growth of the rural
library plan. as provided for by the last
Legislature, as shown in the statistics
prepared at the office of the State Super
intendent of Public instruction fully
demonstrates the wisdom of the action
in establishing these.
Eightyseven counties have taken adj
vantage of the act by which, after $40 is
contributed by private subscription, $40
is given by the county and $40 by the
State. The only counties which have
not yet established libraries are Alexan-
der, Camden, Carteret, Clay Dare, Ora
ham, Jones' Martin, Mcdowell and
Fender.
In the eighty-s seven 40S libraries have
been established on the lines Indicated
In addition there have been established
in Durham county through the liberality
of Gen. Julian S. Carr and in other
counties a number of libraries beyond
the six allowed each county. In Durham
there are now u libraries.
In the 40S libraries established under
the act there are $3.50 books, an aver
age of so volumes to each library, and
these cost si2 .24O. In these there is
provided the best of reading for thou
sands of people who heretofore had no
access to such literature as is now Of
fered them.
The class of books in use is of the
highest, and there is no doubt that
there are a larger number of books in
use than is given by the official figures.
These do not include the books in the
libraries established without county or
State aid.
The appropriation of $4,000 from the
State is not yet exhausted as there is
still on hand a surplus of 1920, enough
to start 90 more Libraries Sixty OF these
can be established in the ten counties
not yet having libraries and 80 in the
, counties not yet having six in each
county.
1t Is believed that before the Legisla-
ture meets the full amount of $4,000 will
have been put in use. as applications for
the library fund are coming in now al
most every day.

Man Wanted in Charlotte

The search for Arthur L. Bishop, the
travelling salesman, who shot and killed
Mr.. ]. T. Wilsonu in Charlotte, goes on,
and there will be more searchers for

when the latter. after ordering him to
leave, was putting him out. Mrs Will
son had found Bishop, her daughter and
another young woman sitting on table

NO REFLECTION ON MR.. THOMPSON.

NJ REFLECTION ON MIX. L ftOMHSON.
In this connection it should be stated
that the action of the church at Wash
irgton in no sense is a reflection upon
Rev. L. E Thompson, who has been as
signed to that church. Headlines in this
paper gave a misleading impression. A
letter written by a leading official at
Washington to Mr.. Thompson expressly
disclaims any feeling of unkindness for
him. The whole difficulty is the uneX.
pected removal of the pastor of the Wash
ington church and the consequent disap-
ointment. The Washington people have
70 purpose or desire to reflect in any
manner upon the ability. character or
fitness OF Mr.. Thompson, who is a wise
prudent and conservative man, who Is
held in the highest esteem by the peo-
pie of every charge ne has served. The
Washington people would soon learn to
esteem him as highly as they now esteem
Mr.. Reaman.
