TEACHERS IN DEMAND.
JEFFERsoN AND OTHER CoUNTIks
IN DIFFrCULT POSITION.
Eligible Pedagogucs Said to be at a
Premium ON Account of New
Examination Laws.

There are indications that Jefferson
county, like many other counties in
West Virginia, is to be short Of el'gi-
BILE teachers for its schools. This
shortage has come about by new
uniform examination for the whole
state. Formerly each county prepared
and held it's own examinations. For
the first time in the history of free
schools in that county, there are
schools for which no teachers have APP
piled at all. The boards of education
are employing old and experienced
teachers. whose grading was cut down
by the new examination from No. |
to No. class. by giving them the
same salary received while teaching
undre No /. certificate. In some of
the districts salaries are being made
up by private subscriptions, the teach
ers being allowed to renew their work
with low grade certificates. Another
opportunity will be afforded the teach
ers in early September to obtain q
higher percentage, which may give
them higher grades of certificates,
with better salaries.

HANGING FROM AN
0AKIN THE DAWN.
In the Mornings Gray Clean One Reads a
Ghastly Sequel to the Assault
Upon Mrs. Wentz.

Squire Brown, who gave the defendant a
hearing, binding him over to court A
deputy then set out with him for the
county jail at Monroe. When, about two
miles of the journey was covered, the
deputy was accosted by a body of men
who demanded that the prisoner be turned
over to them. The demand was at once
Complied with and this morning not 500
yards from this point the lifeless body
of John Osborne was found dangling from
an oak tree. He had been lynched, thus
paying the penalty of his crime.
Mrs. Wentz, the victim of this horrible
crime, was most highly respected lady
and connected with the best families of
the county.
This negro had bad record indeed,
having been tried only a few years ago
Tor a similar crime, committed upon the
person of a Mrs. Hargett, who lives in
the neighborhood of Mrs. Wents, but.
owing to the fact that the evidence was
only circumstantial he was acquitted He
was also suspected of having assaulted
Mrs. Jane Flow in this county near Mint
Hill, about three years ago, but there
was no direct evidence to convict him.
This is the only lynching that has oc-
Cured In this county in eighteen years.
and it is deplored.

(By the Associated Press.)

Charlotte, N. c., July S--John Osborne.
the negro charged with cr1minaily assault
ing Mrs Lizzie Wentz, white woman.
aged 81 years. in Union county. Sunday
night, paid the penalty with his Ire last
night. He was taken from the officers
who were conveying him to the Union
county jail and lynched at point about
two miles from Indian Trail, station on
the Carolina Central Railroad. The lynch
ing party was composed of several hun
dred people and the two men had charge
of the prisoner were easily overpowered.
Osborne received preliminary hearing
during the afternoon and was committed
to jail to await the next term of Union
county Superior court. 1t is said that
the negro made a full confession of the
crime before he was lynched.
Frank Kezziah and Luke Horton we're
deputized to take the prisoner to Monroe
and lodge him in JAIL After they had
travelled about two miles of the distance,
and when they were in the midst of a
body of dense woodland, they We're halted
by mob, who pulled the negro from
the buggy and made Kezziah and Horton
drive on. The negro was not secured
without a struggle. Kezziah fired one shot
at the mob before he was disarmed. The
mob lost no time in tieing a rope around
the negro's neck and hanging him to the
limb OF a tree near the roadside.
When the dead body dangling at the
end of rope. was examined this morn
ing. not the sign of a bullet hole was
found, and it is supposed that the mob
dispersed Immediately after hanging the
negro.
John Osborne, the lynched negro. was
about twenty-four years old. He bore a
bad reputation and had been accused of
committing criminal assaults previous to
the commission of the crime for which
he was lynched. Mrs. Wentz is in crItl-
cal condition. There is no excitement in
the neighborhood.

THUS The NOvOE VREMYA
Tae Car Alone Can Decide Whether The PsIi-

Received II.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, July S.-President
Roosevelt's decision to forward to the Rus
sian government the petition in behalf Of
the Russian Jews is not published here
The foreign office has made the following
statement:
"The Car alone can decide whether the
petition will be received, but Alexander
III would never have received such pc
tition The petition from the Guild Hall
meeting, called by the Lord Mayor of
London of 1891 was returned through the
Foreign Office as being insolvent. The
Foreign Office hopes the Americans win
not invite such slight. They would re-
sent an anti-lynching petition. The For
eign office has no special interest in the
question except desire that international
relations remain unharmed since the mat
ter is purely domestic and belongs to
another ministerial department.
In an arUcle which in official circles is
declared to be inspired, the Novoc vremya
comments the "clalm Of the United States
government that Russia shou grant
American Jews free access to Russian ter
ritory
The Novoe Vremya declares that all

of Jews who have left Russia for various
reasons would reflock to Russia in the
guise of American citizens just as they
are doing in Roumania. Bulgaria and Tur-
key. If Russia acceded to the United
States wish she could not refuse to grant
similar privileges in the case Of other
countries and would soon undergo a per
feet invasion of foreign Jews
The Novoe Vremya also refers to the
United States restricting immigration and
concludes:
While Russia in no way assumes the
right of criticising the internal measures
of the United States, she on the other hand
will not tolerate the least interference in
her private affairs on the part Of Ameri-
cans"

Especial to News and Observer.)
Salisbury. N. c., July 3-W. A. Cable.
the wife beater. who was given hearing
before Justice d. NJ. Miller here Yesterday
afternoon. is now in Jail. He was bound
over TO next term of court under a bond
of 5000. which he failed to give. hence
the Imprisonment. The evidence brought
out at the trial was most damaging TO
Gable and was OF such nature as to arouse
the highest Indignation of the entire com
munity and the fact that very sensa
tional tragedy has thus far been averted
ls attributable to the cool heads and
sound judgment of the citizens here who
are willing that the law shall have it's
course.
1t is yet regarded as dangerous Tor
Cable to appear in certain parts OF this
place or Spencer, where the barbarity oc-
CURED. In the trial witnesses testified
that Cable forced his wife, at the point
of pistol, to place her head between his
knees, where he held her and beat the
blood from the bare skin. 1t was further
shown that he then forced her to swear
that she would never tell the matter to
anyone. This occurred in their own home
and the unfortunate woman made her
escape only when Gable had gone into
another room to get another pistol with
which he told her he would kill her.
Gable has been notified by the Southern
Railway, for whom he worked as freight
conductor, that his services will no longer
be needed. Nothing has so touched and
aroused the indignation of this community
for years.
