GUN BANGED TWICE
Ard Hobbs, the Negro, Re-
ceived the Loads in His
Body.
Especial to News and Observer.


Goldsboro, n. c., August 7.-Mr. d. =
Martin. living about one half mile from
Mr. Olive which is in the center of tEe
great trucking belt of Eastern North Car
DINA, and who is one of the most promi
nent citizens of that community, was in
the city today with friends for the pur-
pose of employing counsel for his defense
for an unfortunate affair that occurred
on his place yesterday. The facts as
gathered by the reporter are as follows:
Mr.. Martins son, T.. r. Martin, was
working about twenty-five hands, all col
ored, when disturbance arose between
him and one of his negro employees named
John Hobbs
In addition to conducting a large and
successful truck farm. Mr.. Martin make
brick. For some time the son of Hobbs,
boy aged or s years, has been destroy
ing the output of the kiln as it was put
out to dry. Mr.. Martin repeatedly remon-
'strated with the father only to be told
that boys will be boys, and the little
fellow does not mean any harm by it,
On yesterday afternoon while Mr.. Mar
tin was making his usual inspection of tue
work don't for the. day he ran across the
boy ''In Migrants delicto'' and remon-
strated with him by rubbing the mushy
brick in his face. This angered the
urchin 30 such an extent that he howled
long and pitously until his father and
other members of the family arrived OH
the scene, and insisted that Mr.. Martin
had classified the boy. Mr.. Martins eX-
plantations were of no avail. the father
proceeded TO use the most opprobious
cpithets known to the English language
against Mr.. Martin.
Hobbs is a large. strong and powerful
negro, and the Martins are men of small
physique, so when Mr.. Martin saw that
his explanations were useless he left and
informed his father of the incident. Mr.
D. S. Martin, the father, approached She
Hobbs residence ahead of his son and
asked Hobbs to come out as he wished to
speak to him, Hobbs advanced few feet
and then replied:
''If you want to see me you can come
in here
The Martins then went in the yard and
the elder Martin said to Hobbs that they
had come down for the purpose of ex.
planning and settling the matter. A dis
pute arose between them and Hobbs
jumped back to the door of his house and
reached up to get his gun. The Martins
closed in and Hobbs was shot by one OF
| them. They claim to have acted in sell
defense.
The other members of the Hobbs family
came to the rescue of Hobbs with chairs
and other handy articles of defense and
cffense and the elder Martin was pretty
roughly handled by them. He defended
| himself as best he could and none of til
wcnen are reported hurt The physicians
report that Hobbs was shot twice through
the body, the balls entering just below
the heart and just above the bowels, ther,
being only one exit

daughter, Flora Combs.
bad been compelled by her grandmother
to tell the story she had told on Thurs
day morning, under pain of a whipping.
Coroner T. NJ Jordan testified that he
bad examined the child, and had found
nothin gto indicate that she was not per-
tectly innocent and pure.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
time set for the hearing of the case, Mag
istrate Helms office on East Martin
street was packed with spectators, and
the heat was something terrible.
Col. j. G.. l.. Harris and Col. I. M.
Argo were present as counsel for the de-
PENDANT, and Mr.. W. B. Jones, son OF the
Solicitor, represented the State.
First Coroner It. NJ. Jordan was called
and examined by Mr. Jones. He testified
that at the demand of the Solicitor he
had made an examination of the person
of Flora Combs, and had found nothing
abnormal about her, or that might not
be expected in child of that age, that
there was nothing whatever to indicate
that she was not virtuous.
Next the child herself was sworn. The
magistrate questioned her with great care
as to whether she knew the nature of an
OATH and the consequences of swearing to
lie. She stated that she did.
Then Mr.. Jones asked her if her step
father had ever treated her wrongly in
any way, or had ever attempted to wrong
her
The child replied distinctly that he had
not.
Asked if she had not said so the day be-
fore in the presence of Magistrate Hefiin
and Mr.. McRary she admitted she had

threatening to whip her if she did not
Finally. r. p. Holmes, second cousin
OF the child and nephew of Mrs. ]. H.
Novel;. the grandmother, was called and
asked why he had sworn out the warrant.
He said he had done so upon the child $
statement, believing it to be true.
At this juncture Mr.. Jones said he did
not see how the State could proceed with
the case as there was no evidence what
ever upon which to hold the defendant. 1t
looked like a damnable outrage, and if
Mrs. j. III. NOVEL; were younger woman
he should be in favor of having her dealt
with to the full extent of the law.
Then the magistrate dismissed the pris-
oner from custody, saying it gave him
pleasure to do so. as innocence should be
rewarded.
Bishop kissed his wife and step-daugh-
ter and walked out of the room with an
arm around each of them.
Mrs. Novel; was not in court, it being
stated that she was still too i'll to leave
the house.

CITY SCHOOL
 MEN MEET Will Organize State AS-
 SOciatiOn. COMMITTEE MEETS TODAY Will Lay Plans for the Organ
 iZatiOn. Committee is Composed of Messrs. Phillips Murphy and selman- School Men Visit Montgomer-
 ery's Public Schools.

An important committee meeting of city superintendents of schools will be held this morning at the New MabsOn Hotel. The committee meets for the purpose of arranging for a State Association of City and Town Superintendents of Education.
 The committee Is composed of Professor J. H. Phillips, of Birmingham. Professor D. R. Murphy of Anniston and Professor John P. Selman of Troy. Several other city superintendents are expected to be with the committee at its meeting to- day.
 The principal purpose of to-day's meet ing is to name a time and place for the meeting of the town and city superin- tendents. The committee may submit suggestions as to the plans and scope of the State association. but the purposes of the proposed association will be decid- ed and declared at the organization meet ing.
 The idea of a State association of city and town superintendents had its in ception at Knoxville, Tenn, where a number of Alabama teachers were attend ing the famous summer school. The broad advantage of such an association would be an interchange of ideas. an in- terchange of visits, and comparison of methods. The idea met with favor and Professor w. F.. Striplin. of the Gadsden city schools, was requested to ascertain
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-10-31

the sentiment among the school men in the State upon the proposed association and to appoint committee to inaugurate the movement. Professor Striplin last year succeeded Hon. I. W. Hill, State su- perintendent of education. as the head of the Gadsden city schools. He was for a number of years superintendent of the Tallassee schools, and he represented El- more county in the Legislature three years ago. The special committee com posed of Messrs. Phillips, Murphy and Selman, was named by Professor Strip lin.
 He has discussed the proposed State as- sociation with a number of the town and city superlntendents. More than fifty of these superintendents have heartily en- dorsed the proposed association.
 MT. Striplin has been ably assisted in his work by Superintendent Paul Hodges of the Greenville City Schools. Professor Hodges was a member of the late consti- tutional convention.
 The proposed alliance of town and city superintendents is another evidence of the widespread educational revival in Alabama. The central purpose of the as- sociation will be to secure united effort towards increasing the efficiency of the town and city schools.
 Messrs. Striplin. Murphy and Hodges spent yesterday in the city. They took advantage of their opportunity to visit the Montgomery city schools. They were high in their compliments of the schools
 We visited four of the schools" said MT. Strplin land we were greatly inn pressed with what we saw. The school discipline in all the rooms we visited was notable and altogether commendable. The efficiency of the schools was mani fest and there could be no doubt as to the excellence of the work. The schools are fine exhibit for Montgomery and the city may we'll fell proud of them.'
