STEDMAN FOR GOVERNOR.
."Honor to Whom Honor Is Due" is
the Cry of a Voice From Rowan.

communicated.
North Carolina has. from time imme-
mortal, been blessed with a brilliant
array of master spirits. Men of such re-
nOwn as Nash, Caswell, Macon, Davie,
Henderson, Murphy, and others. Men
whose prominence and proficiency were
brought forth at time of her greatest
need-whose gigantic powers equalled
every occasion from Chief Executive, Chief
Justice to Commander-in-Chief of the Con-
tinental State forces to the admiration
OF all both at home and abroad.
Lest we forget let us be mindful of the
men OF to-day and bear in mind that
there are master spirits yet in our good
State, and some who are the equal of the
greatest of the great spirits of all the
ages that are passed. One conspicuous
character-a man who has been thor
oughly tried and never found wanting,
one who was first in war; noble, true
and faithful in peace, and will live ever
faithful in the hearts of his countrymen-
ls the able, eloquent, patriotic Maj. Chas.
NJ. Stedman, of Greensboro. On Major
Stedman all of us old Confederates can
center. He is man whom North Caro-
linians love and admire from the noun
tains to the seashore. Let's do him JUS
tice and ourselves honor by electing him
the next Governor of North Carolina, for
we know a truer, more eloquent, more
noble son was never reared in this good
State. '.ROWAN."

Must Learn Agriculture.

Raleigh Times.
An innovation i'll the North Caro-
lima public schools is announced.
This means that many thousands of
children who know nothing OF nature
and her beauty will be brought face
to face with the art and science Of
agriculture and in their hearts and
minds will be infused an admiration
for the unknown wonders that have
been ever in their midst, but not re-
vealed. 1t also means that hundreds
of ambitious North State youths will
see the industry of farming in it's new
light and remain in the country, not
alone because of it's best advantages
and greatest assurances of financial
success, but because their love Of the
beautiful they have imbibed has be-
come passion and they love nature.

1t is told on IL certain young man

his best girl to church-which was
nothing unusual. When the collec-

and whispered to the young lady: 81

In the mean time the young lady had
been searching in her pockets and
finding nothing, blushed Il rosy red
as she stammered: Elm in the

Mr.. Robert G. kittrell has been
elected Superir tendent of the Oxford
Graded School. The Public Ledger
in speaking of him says:
The Board of Trustees have given the
question Of the election of a proper man
very careful thought and investigation,
and we think in Mr.. Kittrell they have
one thoroughly qualified in every way
for the position. He graduated from the
University in 1899, and has the endorse
ment OF President Alderman and faculty
For two years he was principal of Wind
sor Academy, one year as teacher in
Bingham School at Mebane, and last
year principal of the ,Edenton Academy.
From all these places he has testimonials
as to his efficient work and character.
Mr.. kittrell is a native of Vance
county, son OF Mr. George w. Kit
trell, of kittrell, and is a young man
of ability and experience and we
doubt not that his excellent manage
ment of the school will prove the
wisdom of his selection. He is a
brother of Mr.. j. C. Kittrell, of Hen

State Mad On Expenditures.

New Bern Journal
The recently suggested expenditure
of 100000 on improvements on
the State capitol building at. Raleigh
would Indicate how mad in point of
suggested expenditures this State has
gone.
That the capitol building needs inn
provements made on it may not be
questioned, but that the present
time is propitous for such an ex-
penditure every tax payer who is at
present paying taxes to the limit
of his means which includes all will
deny.
The present day is one of great
things, immense appropriations,
with the necessary tax on every pos
sible thing, in order to make good
the appropriations.
With everything possible being
done to advance educational inter-
ests, and the people paying taxes on
this, and on the Improvement and
maintenance of State institutions,
the matter of spending 100000 on
| the state caplCOl DuliulnS looks III
the nature of a luxury.
If some real sacrifice is necessary
in addition to what is now being
made by the people of North Caro-
lima, q State reformatory is very
much needed and this could he built
at a comparative small cost.
So far as the suggested expenditure
on the State capitol building it has
not been received with the slightest
enthusiasm in the State.
At present the tax payers are pay
ing all that they can, and even sug-
gested expenditures are not in order.

Negro Assaults and Then Murders q
Young Girl ut falifax-The Guilty
Wretch Promptly Apprehended and
Hung

HALIFAX, n C.. August p, 1908.
Late yesterday evening, between Z and
o'clock, pretty, bright-eyed little Mary
Jenkins, IL years old, was found in a
stable here with her throat cut and the
locked ON the outside and suspicion fell
on negro named Mamma Ponton, who
was employed about the premises He
were found in his pocket as was knife
with blood on it. There was blood also
on his hands and his clothes These he
had washed but the stains remained.
When arrested POnton denied all knowl-
edge of the crime and said he got blood
on himself cleaning fish. When pressed
to show the fish he had cleaned or where
he had done it, he could do neither
Finally he broke down and confessed his
guilt, saying he first assaulted and then
murdered the girl
The little girl had gone to the stable to
look for hen nest. The negro enticed
her to the door and then pulled her in
side. Choking her down he put piece
OF rope around her neck to stife her cries.
Accomplishing his purpose he then cut
her throat from ear to ear, placed the
body in a sack and left it living in the
corner where it was found few hours
later.
A large crowd gathered soon after the
crime became known. The whole coun-
try was aroused. Securing the negro
he was taken to a place on the edge of
town and lynched. A rope was tied
around his neck, the end placed over the
arm OF a telegraph pole and he was
swung into mid air and the body riddled
with bullets. There were several hun
bred men in the crowd-quiet, orderly,
determined men, who did their work
well. The crowd made no attempt at
concealment and dispersed without any
further disorder.
The victim of the lustful and murder
GUS deed of this black brute was a grand
daughter of the late Capt. James NJ.

Elliott's Emulsif1ed Oil Linimen
Will Hold Their Tobacco.

Vance farmers are simply refusing to
give away their tobacco and say they
will not sell until prices get better and if
they don't get better they will not sell
ct all but will hold this years crop for
next year and not plant any of the weed
again-Oxford Public Ledger
That is the best thing to do-hold
for better prices. True, all the farm
ers are not III a condition of indie
pendence-that is, they owe money
for guano and supplies-but if their
tobacco does not bring enough to
pay the cost of handling-cutting,
curing and stripping are no
better off by selling. Indeed, they
are in worse condition for they have
disposed of their crops and realized
nothing to apply on their accounts,
whereas if they hold it they must get
better prices, we think.
The warehOusemen do not urge the
farmers to sell but if they will sell
they will protect their interests the
best they can.
