A HIGH ORDER OF SCHOOL
WORK.

James w. Hutchison, president OF
the board of education of Mineral
Point city, has received letter from
State Superintendent Carey, in regard
to the report made to him by the as
sstant state superintendent, who spent
May 20 in visiting our schools. In
this letter, among other things, the
state superintendent says;
"Mr. Donnelly was especially inter-
ested in you" schools, and especially
we'll qualified TO make a thorough in
spection of them in short time,
owing to the fact that be had previous
ly taught in Mineral Point.
He found the faculty of the school
doing a high order of work.
1.-THE principals assignment of
lessons was about the best the inspec-
tor has seen on hia travels.
THE spirit of the school was ad-
mirable. The students in all Of the
classes seemed to be very much inter-
ested in their work and there was no
evidence anywhere of any external
force being applied to maintain dis
cipline or TO get the attention of the
students.
1T is certainly worthy of comment
that senior class should have in it
about an equal number of boys and
girls,
1.-The work Of the assistants in all
particulars is approved. =

MEMORIAL DAY
Was Fittingly Observed by the
PSople OF Mineral Point.


Patriotic exercises We're held in the
schools on Thursday, May %. The
observance was more than in form.
The rooms of the various departments
were nicely decorated with appropri-
ate notices, flags and bunting. The
exercises were conducted along lines
suggested in the Memorial day annual
prepared by the state superintendent
and were highly creditable, both to
pupils and teachers. Very many
of the parts taken showed much study
and care in preparation. Members
of George II. Legate Post and Corps
were present and all expressed them
selves as pleased with the reception
rendered them and with the high order
OF the school exercises.
The program prepared by the Post
and Corps for Memorial day was well
carried out. The attendance was very
large, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the weather was quite cool, the
exercises were held in the park.
James G.. Monahan of Darlington
was orator of the day and his ad-
dress made a most favorable impress
sion upon the audience. 1t was de-
void of jest or story, and yet the
speaker held the close attention of his
hearers from the beginning to the
close. 1t was an appropriate and
very able address.

THE COTTON MARKET
TAKES AN ADVANCE
Local Demand Makes Raleigh
Highest Market.
RECEIPTS ARE VERY LIGHT
This Market is Short on Last Years Offerings
kb,ut 3,400 Bales Oyer
Those of Last
Year.

1t is most gratifying to the farmers
to see that the price of cotton on the
Raleigh market is increasing, but it has
not yet reached the figure of ten cents
which has been set as the minimum price
it is worth.
Within the last two weeks the market in
Raleigh has been slowly but steadily ad-
vancing from figure which hung about
eight cents for awhile and has now
reached nine and a half cents, while yes
terday some few bales sold at a sixteenth
of cent higher than this.
That the cotton crop in this section is
a small one as compared with last year
is the report that every cotton planter
who comes to Raleigh brings, and though
the receipts this week exceed those of
this week last year the total for the sea-
son is way behind that of last season. The
sales this week have been 6S9 bales
against sos this week last year; an ex-
cess of 1874 bales.
Up to this date last year there had
been sold on the Raleigh market 6,124
bales of cotton, the prices ranging from
7% to 3-S cents. This year for the
same period the receipts have been 272S
bales, with an average of about cents a
pound. This makes this years sales here
four less than 3,4O0 bales of last season s
sales.
These figures show that the crop is a
small one, and this opinion is also borne
out by the reports from various sections
of the State. While there is much cot
ton that IS being held back for a ten
cent price, yet this does not account for
the marked decrease in the sales, which
show clearly that the crop in this section
is a small one.
A local cotton man said yesterday that
in the price paid for spot cotton Raleigh
was leading the world and he accounts
for this by stating that the local demand
of the mills here is responsible for this.
that they keep but little on hand and
buy only as they need the raw material

CITY TAX RATE IS
REDUCED TO $120
Recommendation of Finance
Committee Not Adopted.
VOTE WAS SIX TO FOUR
Original Proposition Was TO Leave Rate at ST,
33 l-3, and If Assessment be Not Reduced
by the Courts, Then 10 Consider
its Reduction.

The Board of Aldermen yesterday in
special session reduced the city tax rate
from $1.SS 1-S on the $1OO Yorth of prop
erty to $120. Ninety cents for general
purposes and thirty cents special tax.
The meeting was in response to a call
from the mayor yesterday morning, and
took place at twelve o'clock, with ten
members present, Aldermen Crocker, Grit
fis, Upchurch, Rogers, Rand, Hicks,
johnson, Andrews, Boylan and Redford.
First of all Mr.. Johnson made report
on the investigation of the Finance Com
mittee into the tax rate question. He
said he understood the complainants in
the injunction suit would appeal, and if
they were sustained by the Supreme oCurt
they would have to refund all taxes col
lected over the rate of $1.20
Alderman Crocker was of opinion that
the Supreme Court would sustain Judge
Aliens decision dssolving the injunction
on the collection of the taxes under the
present assessment, and he desired the
people of the city to know that the alder
men were acting in good faith.
Mr.. Andrews agreed with Mr.. John
sons position. In case the Supreme Court
should overrule Judge Allen, and the rate
should have been reduced to $1.20, the
city would be out about $4,000.
Mr.. Hicks, saying it would be unjust
to hold the old rate with the new as
sessment, moved that the rate be reduced
to $1.20 at onee.
Alderman Johnson made the following
motion, which was seconded by Mr.. An
crews: THAT the tax rate be fixed at
$1.3S 1-3, s1.00 for general purposes; and
that if the present assessment of valua-
tion shall not be reduced by the courts,
then the board reconsider the rate with
view of making same lower
Mr.. Johnsons motion was voted down,
by a vote of to 6, and Alderman Hicks
offered the following amendment: Moved
that the tax rate be made 80 cents for
general purposes and 80 cents for special
purposes on valuations as made in 1903 y
Mr.. Crocker called for the ayes and noes
on this motion. 1t was carried by to 4.
Those who voted for IT were: Crocker
Griffis, Hicks, Rogers, Rand and Up
church: those who voted against it were:
Andrews, Boylan, Johnson and Redford
The vote on Mr.. Johnsons motion was
exactly the reverse of the above.

DO THEY GET TYPHOID SOUTH
Winter Visits to This Region Declared the
Cause by Health Board.
(By the Associated Press.)

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 16.-That summer
vacations and winter trips to the South
are fruitful sources of typhoid epidemics
is the belief expressed today by Secretary
Stuart. of the State Health Board, III
connection with an outbreak OF typhoid
in the town of Athens, Greene county.
The local health board reported two cases
in the family of farmer whose name the
board withholds. While but two cases
have occurred there, fourteen cases II
other parts of the State are reported to
be those of people who were this farm
er's boarders. 1t is the belief of the
boards experts that the periodical re-
currence OF typhoid epidemics twice in
each year is traceable, that of the spring
to the winter vacations in the South; that
OF the fall to summer vacation to farms
having contaminated water supply.

NEGRO ROCKED AND
SHOT.
Two White Men are Charged
With Deadly ARRAY Near
the City Lot.

A negro named William Stancell was
aften ten o'clock near the colored Chris
tian church at Mcdowell and Cabarrus
streets, near the southern end of the
city lot, where the spinning jimmy is in
operation.
Two young white men, Ed Abrams and
john Russell were arrested at the in
stance of two colored women who were
With Stancell. Captain Conrad and Off
Ger C. w. Barrow made the arrests. They
were just in front of the spinning jimmy,
when they saw a crowd coming from the
direction of the gas house, and noticed
two white men going rather fast. The
two colored women came up and said
that William Stancell had been rocked
and shot. They pointed out the two young
men, and said one had thrown the rock
and the other had done the shooting.
The arrests were then made at once, and
all parties were taken to the guard house,
and the two young men locked up, al
though they declared they were inno-
cent, saying that two men right in front
o. them had done the shooting an< rock
throwing.
DR.. R. S. McGeachy, City Physician,
was sent for, and he examined the ne
gro's wounds. There was a jagged hole
over the left eye that reached to the
bone, where the rock had struck. The
bullet appeared to have lodged in the
lower ribs in the left side. DR.. Nc
Geachy washed and bandaged the wounds
and sent the man to Rex Hospital. He
said he did not think the wounds were
at all serious
The colored women say that they were
walking quietly along with Stancell, when
one of the men came by and jostled them,
then the other man nearly knocked one
oil the women down, and cursed them,
using vile epithets. At this William, they
say, demonstrated in a civil way, where
upon one of the men threw rock. Then
William started across the street, when
the other man fired at him. and told HIM
with vile epithets that if he didn't shu@
up he would shoot again.

SMASHED BY PATCH
Another Worlds Record is
SpIintered by the Fam

perfect. Four thousand people saw the
record broken and cheered driver McHenry
