educational needs, a longing for i'm
proved conditions and Willingness to
pay by contribution, taxation, or both,
for the advantages which are the right
of American childhood. In this ap-
peal no voice other than that of
Southern men has been heard. *
ut is an ungracious, almost thank
less, task to diagnose unpleasant facts
for public instruction. Teaching upon
such subjects by comparison is forbid
ding because odious. This is especially
so when the case is simply one of
misfortune and not mainly of political
delinquency. Then, too, there is provo
cation and confusion to the lay mind
in masses of statistical figures. But
this study has been the work of South
ern men and the United States Bu-
rcau of Education under the guidance
of its honored and venerable head, the
faithful, devoted and sympathetic
friend of education IN the South. No
present excuse exists for want of
knowledge concerning the conditions
of education in any Southern State.
Local taxation for education has
made great progress, notably in Ala
bama, South Carolina, North Caro-
lima and Tennessee. The Constitution
of the State of Georgia has been so
amended as to facilitate local taxation
for schools. The increase of public
both through States
and the local tax. for education, has
aggregated many millions of dollars.
New school houses by hundreds,
perhaps thousands, have replaced
others that were lacking in comfort,
space and equipment. Hundreds of
inadequate schools have been consoli-
dated and transportation has been sup
piled to scholars that have been in
commoded by the changed conditions.
School terms have been greatly length
ened the qualifications of teachers inn
proved, and compensation increased
to meet the longer term and better
service.
Laws against nepotism in educa
tiOnal patronage have been passed and
thus a beginning has been made in

BADLY TORN BY DOG.
n Little Child FearfulIy Bitten-The
Dog is Killed.

Especial to News and Observer
High Point, n. c., April 26.-YeS-
terday while the little child of Mr..
Jerome Barker, who lives on the edge
of town, was playing in the yard it
was attacked by dog supposed to
have been mad, and almost literally
torn to pieces in places The screams
of the child in its awful agony brought
help in the person of its father who
wrestled with the dog and extricated
the child from its fearful position
The dog was killed and the head sent
to the Richmond specialist for exami-
nation. The mad dog question is quite
a serious one here at the present time
and it is quite probable that rigid
measures will be adopted for the rid
dance of the town of all worthless
dogs and for the confinement. for a
time of all dogs running loose.
Chief of Police Gray, of this CITY, is
making a record for himself in killing
so Nmany worthless dogs. He killed
eight the past week.
The Enterprise Printing House, of
this city, is installing another large,
high grade Optimus press to keep
abreast of its ever increasing patron
ace. AS soon as the press is erected
the Daily Enterprise will be enlarged,
which will occur next week.

lasted through the entire meet

action. The names of Mr.. Fred n.
Tate and Mr.. M. j. Wrenn were put
before the convention for the office of
mayor. It was suggested that secret
ballot be taken and after much dis
cussion this was agreed upon. 1t was
abandoned owing to the impossibility
of such a procedure. 1t was finally
decided to make division between the
Tate and Wrenn men which also final
ly had to be abandoned as no intelli-
gent count could be made in this way.
Never in the history of this staid lit
tie city has such intense interest been
manifest. People crowded over one
another in their frenzy to have their
say.
The convention adjourned with no
candidates nominated, each side agfse-
ing to hold it's own caucus and nomi-
nate it's mayor and board of aldermen;
so there will be two tickets in the
field, one headed by Mr. Fred n. Tate
as mayor, the other with NJ. M. j.

(By the Associated Press.)


Shreveport. La, April 26.-After
working three hours with sledge ham
mer and pick axes, a mob of twenty
five men broke into the parish Jail
at Homer, La, seventy-five miles
northeast of Shreveport, today and
shot Dick Craighead, inflicting wounds
which will probably prove fatal. Craig
head was charged with the murder
of Mrs. Ike Mckee, the wife of his
half brother, and her little son.
The authorities were unaware of
the design to mob the prisoner un-
til it was too late to protect him.
Every telephone and telegraph wire
out of Homer was cut and the rifles
of the Claiborne Guards, the local
military company, were seized before
the move was made on the Jail. SO
quietly did the mob work that scarce
ly any one in the little town was
aware of what was taking place. Hav-
ing dug a hole through the brick wall
the lynchers crawled through the
cell in which the prisoner was con-
fined, from it impossible to break the
lock. They then began shooting the
prisoner through the bars of his cell,
more than twenty shots being fired
and nearly every one taking effect.
The mans legs, arms and portions
of his body were literally riddled.
Believing that Craighead was dead,
the members of the mob left the pris-
on and quietly dispersed.
When Sheriff Kirkpatrick and citi-
zens of the town reached the Jail they
found Craighead still alive. 1t is
stated that he told the sheriff the
names of three of the lynchers and
another prisoner in the Jail told the
name of another man whom he recog-
nized.
The names have not been divulg-
ed.

HOW DID He D|E2
Waters Body Exhumed

The Result of This Examination Will
Be Revealed / the Evidence
Before The Court

Especial to News and Observer.)

(SDeC1dI >
Kinston, N. c.. April 26.-The pre-
liminary trial of the Worleys for the
killing of Ed Waters Saturday is hung
up until the medical experts can
throw more light on the manner of
killing. In the evidence Coroner
Wooten stated today that he did not
make a minute examination of the
fractures of the neck which was the
cause of death.
AS this is the pivot around which
all the evidence will turn, it was de-
cided today that the body of Waters
should be exhumed and an examina-
ton made.
The motion for the autopsy was
made by the prosecution and DR..
Pridgen, superintendent of Health for
the county, went to the grave this
afternoon, accompanied by counsel
for both sides, and made the eXami-
nation.
The result is not obtainable, but
will be brought out in the evidence
tomorrow.
In speaking of the tragic death of
Young Waters the Free Press says:
THE trouble grew out of the revi-
val Saturday evening when all the
parties we're IeluIllllS 10 lHclf HOIIlSS
from KinstOn of an affair that Oc-
Cured between the WOrleys and Wa
ters at a party in January, when Wa
tcrs got the better of one of the Wor-
leys and knocked him down with a
pitchfork.
Saturday Ed Waters and Cullen
Williams in one cart, Tom and CIem
Morley and their father, Mr.. 2. B.
Worley, in other vehicles, were return
ing home from Kinston and the af-
fair referred to was brought up. At
the stock law fence gate the discussion
reached a climax, and Waters having
out a pistol, fired four shots, not at
the Worleys, who were advancing on
him, but at the ground, presumably
to frighten them and stop them.
''They continued to advance, how
ever, and attacked Waters, who had
emptied his pistol, ran some distance
and the Worley's followed him and at
tackled him again. stabbing him in the
right breast, on the arm and back of
the head. In the last scuff1le Waters
neck was broken low down. nearly
between the shoulder blades. ana
death resulted in a few minutes.
"While Mr.. p. 3. Worley did not take
an active part in the affray it is
claimed by the State that he was de-
tanned from doing so by Cullen Will
liams, who held the elder Worley off.
The latter claim that he was going to
the combatants to part them and not
to fight himself. Mr.. p B. Worley
was given d preliminary hearing Sun
day night and released under a $500
bond, for his appearance at court TO
answer to the charge of accessory to
the homicide"
