kaboth, As has been previously stat
ed, the case involves the title to the
lot al the southwest corner OF Duane
and Eleventh streets. This property.
owned at the time by Judge G, II.
Page. was bought in by the county in
1898 for delinquent taxes. When the
old horse" sale was made the lot
was sold 10 George Kaboth. Prior to
the time of the sale by the county,
Mr. Page had sold the property to the
plaintiffs in the present action. Civ
Ing them warranty deed Now Judge
Page is defending the title to the land.
He sets up In his complaint that the
land was enormously assessed and
that for other reasons the county was
not justified In making the sale. Those
persons who bought property at the
several sales held merely did so
through speculation, the law providing
a manner OF redemption by the orig
inal owners The Kaboth case was
argued before Judge Mcbride yester-
day and taken under advisement.

Truth and Moses Compared.

(From the New York Journal.l
In the course of sermon yesterday
DR.. Parkhurst said:
I'VE are all familiar with the famous
order issued by Gen. Smith TO kill every
thing over 10 years old. Why, consider
ing that war is hell, there is touch OF
ineffable tenderness in Smiths order that
is simply pathetic. There was no 10
year clause in Moses order Man, wo-
man and child, horse, OK and ass, the
whole thing.
1T is fine in Smith TO except the chill
dren. OF course. if we were TO conceive
of Moses war and Gen. Smiths war as
something that is being conducted under
the shadow of the Cross. then we shall
have 10 regard Moses and Smith as moth
ing better than a pair of devils.
And so / have said nothing against
expansion; have said nothing against
this war. or any war; / have not even
said that for practical purposes the old
policy OF butchering heather was not as
good, and sometimes was a great deal
better. quicker and cheaper than the
evangelical method OF dealing with
them"

Song of the Captain of Industries. :

When / was a lad l managed to squirm
AS office boy for brokerage firm;
cleaned the rug and cuspidor.
And at last bought and sold things on
the floor
] pushed along so successfullee
That now / am q captain of industree.
| watched the ticker and l took a chance.
Now and then on a slump or a sharp
advance:
Things happened somehow to turn my
way,
And l bought out the brokerage firm one
day
Then was the firm and the firm was me.
I'd become a captain Of industree.
l watched my chance and I gobbled
blocks
or what / knew to be lt-edged stocks
| gobbled stocks wherever | could
And wrecked roads where il would do
me good;
The money came rolling into me.
And so I'm a captain OF industree.
I've a marble shack on the avenue.
And brownstone cottage at Newport,
too;
I've a splendid yacht and a private car,
And my flames wherever the railroads
are
have pulled the strings so successful
lee
That now / am a captain of industree.
| have dined where a prince sat down to
dine,
And few have wads that are bigger than
mine;
| possess two hundred million plunks,
When travel take along eighty trunks.
Oh. | tell you what ii is great TO be
A glorious captain of industree.

A Card From Mr.. Martin.

To the Editor For the benefit and in
formation OF Superintendent Mebane
wish to say that the Board of Educa-
tion for Yadkin county, at the meeting
in April last, decided TO redistrict every
township in the county. except two. one
of which has only one white and one
colored school, and the other has only
FIVE schools, ali white. averaging more
than one hundred children TO the school.
The County superintendent with one
member of the board. will, before the
July meeting of the board. canvass the
various townships for the purpose of es-
tablishng district boundaries and locat-
ing school house sites and consolidating
districts. making larger and fewer dis
tricts in every instance.
| will add further that this work of
consolidating, or abolishing, the small
districts was really\begun last fall
The County Superintendent has at
every school visited. and at every ap-
pointment emphasized the Importance
and necessity of larger fewer and better
schools. The last result naturally fol-
lowing the first two.
| confess that we have undertaken a
hard and difficult problem. though one
that must be solved. first or last, by
perhaps. every county in the State.
l will say for the encouragement of
other boards that may be contemplating
doing the same kind of work that the
Yadkin board has undertaken that last
fall when we first began talking the
matter and did really begin the work
We had such a storm of opposition that
it would seem unsafe for the County SUI
perintendent and the members of the
board to travel in the county alone I'M
armed. This, of course, is not to be
taken seriously. l only want. if can.
to picture the very strong opposition
that rises up when talk of changing the
location of the free school house" is
known in the neighborhood.
The opposition at this time. however
is not near so strong. In fact. talking
and reasoning with level-headed. reas-
enable men convinces them OF the pro-
priety and wisdom OF the plan OF having
larger schools; and in order TO have
larger schools we will necessarily have
to diminish the number of schools
We will need money. of course. to
build houses. but we are acting under
the maxim Providence helps those who
help themselves
Ii our distinguished ex-superintendent
will pardon me- want to claim for the
little county of Yadkin the honor of
starting the redistricting undertaking.
Very respectfully.
