Teachers Elected.

At meeting of the Graded School
trustees held Monday teachers were
elected for the e14suing year. All the
old teachers were reelected with the
exception OF Miss Maud Jones, teach
er OF the first primary grade, who
will not teach again. Miss Eva Nor
ton, of Virginia, was elected in her
place. Miss Morton is highly recon-
mended and we doubt not she will
prove a worthy successor OF Miss
Jones who was singularly qualified
for the work. She has been teaching
four year in Georgia and was offered
an increase in salary to remain there
but she preferred to be nearer home,
and so the Henderson school is fort
unate enough to get her.
Miss Birdie Watson has decided to
quit teaching for a year, She does
this to safeguard her health. While
she has not been invalided too close
confinement and the strain upon her
has been so great that she has not
been very strong for year or more
and so she has decided to rest awhile
before she breaks down and is forced
to quit. The pupils and patrons OF
the school will regret this while ap-
proving of the wisdom of her course.
Miss Watson is a fine teacher and is
greatly loved by all who know her
and she will be missed from her ac-
customed place in the school room
and in the teachers meeting.
The faculties of the Henderson
graded schools are as follows: Central
SCHOOL,. Z. Alderman, superinten
dent; W. R. Mills, principal; Misses
Nettie Elmore, Kate Lewis, Lula
Page, Amy Butter, Jessie Page
Leona Currin, Eva Morton.
South Henderson-Mrs W. D. Hor
ner.
| North Henderson-Misses Lucy
Davis and Mary Bell Gary.
| Colored-J. Y. Eaton, principa
and teacher, Laura Merrimon, Salli
Eaton, Mary A. Eaton, Nancy W
Durham, Lucy A. Eaton. These ar
all excellent teachers and the Coll
LEAF is assured by both Superinten
dent Alderman and County Superin
tendent Kittrell that they are doini
good work.

ANOTHER MURDER.
Willie Townes Shoots and Kills
William Badger as Result of Gam
bling Quarrel-Both Negroes Neither

One Of Whom Bore a GOOD Repufa-
tion.
Another murder has been recorded
against Vance county-the third one
in as many months.
AS a result of a gambling quarrel
one negro is dead and another is a
fugitive from Justice. Willie Townes
shot and killed William Badger late
Saturday afternoon, the tragedy oc
curing in the clump Of trees just be-
yond the ice factory. Townes and
Badger together with several other
young negroes, John Taylor, Hood
Jones, Garfield Davis, Ham Stamper,
Tom Russell and Adam Jones were
playing craps, when dispute arose be
tween Townes and Badger. Conflict
ing stories are told but Townes shot
Badger, the ball taking effect in the
left shoulder inficting a wound which
caused death in a few minutes. The
autopsy revealed the fact that the
bullet ploughed it's way through the
entire body striking five vital points
in it's course either one of which was
sufficient to produce death.
After the shooting Townes fed and
has not yet been apprehended. When
last heard from he was in Richmond
inquiring for Garfield Davis evidently
expecting he had made his escape
and gone to Richmond where he had
a brother. John Taylor and Adam
Jones were with him.
The other negroes, Hood Jones,
| Garfield Davis, Tom Russell and
Ham Stamper have been apprehend-
ed and lodged in Jail.
Townes is a negro of bad charac-
ter and has frequently been up before
the Mayor.
Badger was indicted for stealing a
coat and pair of shoes but when the
trial came on at the last term of
court owing to the absence of wit
nesses he was released having already
been in Jail for some time.
The others are about of the same
type, loafers and gamblers, but in
the absence of proper vagrant law
to deal with this class of idlers and
criminals such things will continue
to be burden to the tax payers.

WADE MECUM SPRING.
Amid Beautiful Scenery and a De-
IightfuI Climate Where Health and
Pleasure are Found.

Although it was not until late in
the year 1899 that the Wade Mecum
Spring became known to fame, no
place upon the map can show a
growth from primeval conditions
into social centre, with increasing
public favor, SO sudden as this Amer
lean Spa. When Henry Froehling,
scientist, pronounced these waters
similar to Carlsbad, Pullna, and
Friedrichshall, but preferable-in-
stantly the dashing cascades, the
hemlock cliffs, the flexible stone quar-
ries, the serpentine Morotock, the un-
haunted caverns, silent since the red
man faced the West, the lordly for
ests and ivy-clad palisades, appeared
as fit setting for the Diamond
Spring"
The briefest sketch of this develop
ment would be unfaithful, which failed
to name John H. Sparks, the man
whose genius for entertaining people,
grasped Natures real design, and in
the zeal of his great scheme gave up
his useful life. The good purpose re-
mains, however, to make Wade Mecum
the greatest watering place in the
South Eastern States. All will see ii
who have not. No other place offers
such advantages in climate and
scenery, such newness and variety
| and withal such means of making
you we'll while you pursue yOul
| pleasures.

BELL PLACES
THE TROUBLE
BLAMES SOCIALISM FOR ANAR-
cHY IN COLORADO.
CHARGE AGAINST LEADERS
General Declares They Cause Weak
and Willing Members to
Commit Crime.

Cripple Creek, Colo, June 13.-Gen-
eral Bell has given tut a statement
regarding his action in deporting the
strikers and the causes leading up to
the same. He attributes the troubles
of the miners strike to the socialist
element in the Western Federation of
Miners, who, he says, captured the
organization two years ago. He de-
clares that the federation has made
unionism a secondary consideration,
and that the organization, root and
branch, is being made a vehicle for
the promotion of socialism.
The leaders, he asserts, have not
hesitated to cause weak and willing
members to commit any crime to
strike terror to property owners or
workingmen who refuse to abide by
their dictates"
The murder of non-union men by
blowing up the independence station,
he charges, was "perpetrated with
the aid and advice of federation lead.
ers and by men in their employ"
The only hope of attaining peace
and security of life and property is
to "exterminate the federation from
the camp"
Az tho head Of the state militia
responsible only to the governor, the
general continues, it became his duty
to effect this result. The arrest OF
every man in the district belonging
to the federation was ordered. I'm
less they were able to show a clear
bill of health they were placed il
the bullpen and held or deported.
The deportation of federation men
