THE Ward BILL.
SENATOR SIMMONS HAS EN-.
DORSED 1T.
The Duty of the HOur-This Ill

Its Effects.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 14.-Sen-
lator Summons, discussing tonight the
situation with reference to tenn
peranee legislation pending at Rail
eigh, said that neither the notice Oh
senator Williams, of Davidson, nor
the reported action of the opponents

fortune and ambition, for in his opin-
ION no man can do tnaG ami be of

Speaking of the Ward bill, -Sena-
Uor Simmons SAID ne Was earnestly in

the best Interest OF me Democratic
party. He added that destroying the
four hundred little disLillerles in the
interest of morality and in the dis
charge of puDlIc uuLy mad not hurt
the Democratic party buth greatly
strengthened 1t. Neither would it

the operation of the law which struck
down these little dIstilleries.
IF the Legislature shall now del1b-
erately continue this exemption IN
favor of a few rich distilleries the
people will want toknow in the next
campaign why this discrimination;
tney will want to know under whose
leadership the Democratic party has
'ecome the champion of special privi-
eyes to these big uI9tilleries. Theoe
dig and rich distiiierIes have not
saved the Democratic party in past
md they cannot destroy it in the fu-

in protecting the morality of their
children than in protecting the in

Granted a Divorce.

An Ohio woman was instantly
granted a divorce on the ground of
cruelty when she informed the court
that her husband had forced her to
move forty-three times in nine years.
A little figuring will show that the
plaintiff moved at the rate of very
nearly five times year. She prob
ably never had really happy home,
It takes the average woman at least
three months to get 'settled" in one
place, so that the tumultuous exis'
tence endured by this unfortunate
woman can readily be imagined.

BLOOD DYES SPINNING ROOM

Named Norton Enter the
Spinning Room Drunk
and are Ordered to
Leave. The Murder
Follows.
Gloom Cast Over Wilson


crack, squirt of flame, puff OF
smoke, and as X. o. Pickard, Sup
erintenuent of the Wilson Cotton
Mills, fell to the floor OF the spinning
room bathed in his life blood, q
thrill of horror flashed through our
community at the realization that
another tragedy had cast its red
stain over US.
The deed, as indicated, was COM
nitted III the spinning room of the
factory. The man who fired the fatal
shot was Wiley House, a young man
of about tWenty-seven. The bali
entered the body of the superinten-
dent about two and half inches
from the right nipple and on line
with the left. 1t penetrated the
vitals and death followed within a
few minutes. Mr.. Pickard managed
to stagger from the spinning room
into his office. Here he fell and ex
pired.
The events leading up to thl~
crimson climax are briefly these.
Wiley House and Charley Norton
had b, IN discharged from Hackney
Brothers Carriage Works, and were
out on a ssbender." Loaded up with
whlskey they first went to The car
riaoe works and then from there TO
the mill.
Here, the superintendent, seeing
their condition, ordered them out.
Instead of obeying they became
abusive. ''ShOOt the--!' eX-
claimed Norton TO his companion,
applying a foul epithet to the super
intendent. Instantly Houses pis-
tol cleaned in his hand and its
sharp report sounded in the room.
Another story declares that House
was the one who first cried shoot,
and that Norton answered: "Shoot
the yourself"
However that may be, as Pickard
reeled back, shot to his death, Nor
ton and House, taking advantage OF
the wild confusion into which the
mill operatives were thrown by the
tragedy, slipped from the room and
made their escape.
They had gone but a short dis
tance, however, when the hue and
cry was raised and swift runners
were at their heels. Final escape
was hopeless. The whole place
seemed aroused. Hunters were on
all sides of them. Capture could moi
long be avoided.
1t came soon. Eager hands seizeC
them as they fled along the road t.
the Door house and hurried then
back toward the Jail. Here thu
doors closed upon them; and behino
those doors they now await thei
preliminary trial.
The crime has aroused among ou
people the deepest indignation. Su

years of age.

Interestingly compared by the Green's

Greensboro: while there We're two

January, 1905, than for the same
month last year, there were only
seventeen arrests for drunkenness
this January, against 81 in 1904.
This shows that the arrests fol
drunkenness has been decreased by
two-thirds. There we're nineteen ar.
rests for running blind tigers. The
reason given for this large number
being that raid was made upof

| THERE is some agitation, especially
among the rural districts, regarding
teachers wages and the thought that
they are being overpaid seems to prevail
while in fact they are receiving much
less compensation according to the
qualifications required than almost any
other profession.
The teachers association is said by
one man to be a combine, with strong
monopolistic tendencies, and that they
were now receiving far more compensa-
ton for the number of hours labor than
the hard working farmer who is beaten
on every side.
A teacher of today must have the
ability to pick out essentials and disre-
gard the other things-a solution of the
so-called overcrowded course of study.
Teaching is high and holy calling and
no one should enter it unless willing to
devote all of ones energy, soul and time
to IT.
There is probably no work more nerve
racking than teaching, and it needs good
health as we'll as strong will and mental
powers. A teacher must be the mpdel
of his class. If he is irritable he is not
the proper person to teach children; if
crippled he cannot lead in the exercises,
and by just so much he fails in his
ability as teacher.
Sound, extensive, accurate scholarship
is the second quality that they must
possess. The public schools are estab-
lished for the purpose not merely of Civ
ing the elements of literary education,
but to develop the fullest efficiency,
individual and social in every citizen.
However it is not enough that teacher
knows something of our intellectual
inheritances, he must possess industry,
courage, and above all, simple minded
devotion to duty.
Professional training is required as we'll
as being an expert physical trainer, that
they may lead the exercises with which
the intellectual tasks of the children
must be relieved. The time has passed
when all education was considered TO
come from the printed page Now it is
the theory. and the forthcoming practice.
that the hand and the eye, as we'll as the
mind. must be trained. Therefore the
teacher of today must be an expert in
manual training. 1t is essential for a
man teacher especially to be at once an
athlete and mechanic. Teachers are
expected by the parents to be able to tell
if any special exercises are harmful or
beneficial, to test a pupils sight and
hearing, have the capacity to gauge
pupils power of perception, retentive-
ness, judgment and reasoning. But not
all. They are to possess the insight to
discover special aptitudes in children
that they may advise them and their
parents of the pursuits they are best quail
fed to follow.
What other profession requiring the
qualifications and fitness of the school
teachers of today receives such meager
