for one or the other. When there arrived the hour prescribed by law for closing the polls there were about a dozen who were shut out from voting. Time was up, the polls had Co close, and they had failed to get in their ballots.
 All told there were 176 votes cast, of which MT. Van Mourick re. ceived 100. MT. Bowman "A; and two were cast for MT. Wylie. So MT. Van Mourick was elected; and he goes into the board pledged to do all in his power to retain the four teachers named as having been marked for dismissal at the end of the school year.
 Now whether the report that there was or is contemplated actually the dismissal of the four teachers named is no part of this story. If there was in contemplation any such move those proposing and nursing it found that there was a strong sentiment against them. The parents of the school children have sized up and approved the work of the two Misses Smithson, Mrs. Saxon and Professor Page, and they are ready to rebuke any and all who stand for their dismissal. The feeling is that it would be better to let go all the rest and get others like the four named than to dispense with them and take new and untried teachers.
 That Mir. Bowman was the un- witting victim of a sentiment that had been aroused against the alleged changes contemplated there is no doubt. Had he learned sooner what was believed by the people and set himself to meeting the charges at an earlier hour he might have stemmed the tide and saved the defeat he met. Had he known what was the feeling and announced in advance that he would not stand for the changes which were said to be contemplated, he would have prevented, probably, the candidacy of Mir Van Mourick.
 But however these things may be, the election has settled one thing, and that Is that hereafter proved merit will be given consid- eration in the schools of Nogales. They should not be used for prem tice hands to practice on. Too many teachers have been chosen from favoritism in the past, and the school has been sadly deficient in many important particulars on that very account. The belief gen erally expressed is that the teach CTS named in this article have done more to raise the standard of the school than have all the rest who have taught. And the general sentiment is that they should be re- tained in the good work and more like them engaged as their coad- tutors.

( LIVELY TIME.
The School Election Last Saturday One of the Most HotIy Contested Ever Known in NogsIes.


 district, last Saturday, than falls to the lot usuallyof an election of any kind. And what it was all about was puzzling to very many people. The candidates for the honor pledged themselves most heartily to pursue the same course or policy; and why they should have scra apped so earnestly for an empty honor that carries more kicks and cuffs than concentrations, is mystery vet to many citizens. And another curious feature was the switching of candidates but shortly before the opening of the polls in the morn ing, Mir. T. J. Wylie, who had been announced as a candidate, retiring from the field, and Mir. Ferd Van Mourick being announced. Upon the preceding day it was supposed that Messrs w. G. Bowman and T. J. Wylie would be the opposing candidates and many were sur prised at the polls to find that Mir. Wylie had withdrawn and that Mir. Van Mourick was candidate.
 The issue seemed to be whether certain teachers in the school shall he retained another year. Although both candidates denied that there was any such issue, and declared that they would oppose litter ly any change, ifelected, there were those who doubted both. And many voter told them hatly what was thought of the whispered changes said to be contemplated and declared they would stand for nothing of the kind To all who declared themselves each candidate declared upon honor that he would not stand for any such changes as were rumored in contemplation.
 The rumor that had gained credence was that the hold over members of the board contemplated displacing for the next year Professor Page, Mrs. Saxon and the two Misses Smithson, who are the four acknowledged, conceded and admitted best teachers in the school. And in some way the impression was abroad that Bowman represent- ed the holdover trustees, and was their candidate. with the removal of the four in view should be be elected. When MT. Wylie with drew, leaving the field clear to MT. Bowman, immediately there went forth very strong protest from the many friends of the four teachers said to have been marked for slgaughter. They demanded a candidate, and Mir. Van Mourick was induced to stand for election. But there were those who had their suspicious that MT. Van Mourick was the real candidate who was to be railroaded into the board to accomplish tho change in teachers that was supposed contemplated And many irate parents of school children went at him, as we'll as at MT. Bowman, with tears in their eyes and their fists doubled up," and told them both very plainly tthey thought of the proposi- ton. As stated hereinbefore, each candidate declared upon honor that he would not stand for anything of the kind.
 But both candidates and their friends hustled all the time the polls were opened, and toward the last they had people pouring up to the schOOlhOuse to cast their ballots

regular discharge of his duty arrest
ed a negro for an alleged violation
Of law and was taking him, with the
aid of second officer to the jail,
when a negro from North Carolina
named Reed, secured pistol, APP
preached from the rear to within
few feet of the officer and shot him
dead. Reeds whole course disclosed
a murderous intent which he carried
out with all the debauching cow
ardice of brutal hend. There is no
question in anyone's mind but what
he deserved to pay the ullpenalty OF
his crime, or doubt but what it
would have been promptly exacted
by Somerset jury. Reed was cap
tured on Tangier sound the next
morning and brought back to Girls
field. As soon as the party reached
the wharf bowling mob snatched
him from the officers, pounded him
to Jelly, dragged his,,dead body by a
rope to the scene of Daugherty's
homicide and hung it to pole. The
next day in order to fully mete out
the terrors of the Judges court the
| o-,l,,,,,a1 ,-,IIlaI
bullets and burned at the stake. The
mob seemed to be then satisfied and
further trouble is not expected.
There are times when it is difficult
in the quiet of our own homes to
picture to ourselves the scenes and
conditions which precede a lynchng
and we hardly feel prepared to con-
denim the homicide; but no such con-
ditions existed in this case. There
had been no violation of the hearth
stone, which gives the "unwritten
law" its claimed right of existence.
A written law of "an eyefor an eye
and a tooth for tooth" prevailed in
this Casa law written in blood and
administered by a mob whose only
thought was vengeance-butits excuse
for existing was destroyed when men
formed a compact for self-govern-
ment called civilized society. We
recognize that the industries which
are piled on the water not only gave
Crisfeld her existence but they gave
her very turbulent element incident
to these callings; but, when the reports
in our two great dailies several days
after the homicide that the lynching
and the subsequent burning of the
body thirty hours later is looked
upon as Gust retribution," we are
compelled to conclude that if correct
ly reported her best citizens are
giving the act their moral support.
This would seem to be all the more
probable since ample cooling time"
had interviewed between the two acts,
yet the mob uncontrolled satiated its
brutal vengeance.
If we mistake not these same
citizens were greatly outdone because
Governor Warheld took extraordi-
nary precautions to prevent interior
ence with a legal execution in their
section about two years ago, yet few
will doubt now that his fears were
we'll founded and his actions wise.
Maryland cannot afford such
! scenes as those recently witnessed in
Cris6eld; we sympathize with her
people in the problem she has to cope
with, but we believe that all the rules
of Justice, civilization and humanity
condemn the recent means taken to
solve it.

GLOOMY OUTLOOK
But Christian County Farm
ers Can Stand One Bad
Year.
Short Crops Will Bring High
err Prices for Every
thing.

The year 1907 under present cir
cumstances cannot be one of great
prosperity for farmers. The weather
clerk has had unfriendly designs on
things in general thus far, and it
seems that it will be impossible for
the shrewdest farmer to hedge"
and come out ahead at the end of
the year. To begin with, rain began
falling in August and the earth was
in bad condition up to following
time. This was followed by dry
season that was unfavorable for the
little wheat that had been sown.
The bad weather following the open
ing of the new year prevented the
burning of plant beds until an unusu-
ally late day, and when the patient
farmer did get a chance to make a
bed Of tobacco plants the night
riders began scraping, sowing grass
seed and sailing beds, and their bad
work is being kept up with zeal
that is discouraging to everybody.
