IS JAILED ON CHARGE
OF SIMPLE LARCENY

For the first time, perhaps, in the
history of Americas a white man was
Jailed here yesterday for the alleged
theft of a dog, the charge set forth in
the warrant against him being sim
pie larceny. The case is not yer-
ready for trial, as the man who
bought the dog will likewise be pros
ecuted, it being alleged that he was
aware at the time that the dog did
not belong to the seller. The case has
aroused considerable interest, espec-
tally among dog owners here who
have had their pets carried away in
recent years.

HEAVY RAINS MAKE
 SITUATION GLOOMY
MUCH REPLANTING OF COTTON AGAIN CESSARY-SEED CAN NOT BE oBTAINED-HoSP ITY OF NEWBERN.

Greensboro, May 7.-(Speeial)-The heavy rain which fell in this vicinity yesterday and last night has added to situation already gloomy In the extreme, because of the backward crops and the inability of those who had not planted to prepare the land. Hard rain fell from 12 o'clock until dark Monday, and at night veritable deluge came down. In many places the rain was accompanied by hail stones as large as hen egg.
 The cotton that has been replanted is rotting in the ground, and seed cannot be obtained to replant Even under the most favorable circumstances from now on cotton chopping will not be finished before the middle of June.
 The passengers on the wrecked train Saturday say that too much praise can not be accorded the citizens of Newborn for the generous hospitality extended by them to the passengers who spent the time intervening between the wreck and the arrival of the train in Newborn, and not one cent of money was charged for their entertainment and great paints taking to make them comfortable.
 In an interesting service Sunday morn- ing T. R. Ward and Anderson Hanna were ordained deacons in the Presbyter- ian church.
 The Sunday schools of Greensboro will unite and have a picnic on May r at Livington. Special rates will probably be obtained from the railroads for this occasion.
 An interesting game of ball will take lege campus between the fat men and the lean kind of the town. The game is for the benefit of the academy library and 1t Is safe to assert that a goodly sum will be realized.

vided for now as they were ten years ago.
 If your honorable body can see your way clear to meet the expense it is here with recommended that you authorize the Board of Education to purchase good size lot in whatever section of our city towards which the negro population is drifting and then make provision to build a large structure that will relieve the present congestion.
 ''Too much encouragement or thanks cannot be given to the thoughtful women who have promoted and joined the various school improvement associations. Their work and suggestions are covering a branch of service just as necessary and productive of results as is the broader part borne by the men. It is hoped they will all feel that this interest is noticed and appreciated by your honorable body, and when possible their recommendations will at all times be followed
 The ideas expressed were most gratify- ing to the ladies and they were glad to see how familiar the chief executive is with the needs of the schools.
 Mrs NJ v.s Joseph served notice of a change in the constitution in regard to the annual meeting and election of off cers. which at present is held on the first Tuesday in October of each year. The proposal is to change the date to the first Tuesday in May, and if it is car ried the officers will be elected Thurs day, May 2s. this year.

IMPROVEMENT OF
 PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Central Association Discusses Recent Utterances of the Mayor Regard
 ing City Schools.

The regular meeting of the Central School Improvement association was held yesterday afternoon at S:3o o'clock, in the High school building. It was called Matlock, and representatives from nearly every association in the city were present.
 Reports from the different schools as to what had been done were of great interest. One of the features of the ses- sion was the discussion of that part of Mayor Wards message relating to the work of the society, as follows:
 Your public school system is rapidly making a proud reputation throughout the state of Alabama and far beyond.
 Its thoroughness training and scope have brought commendation from many states and colleges which have known our graduates.
 The value put upon it by residents and non-residents is shown in the crowd ed condition of every school They arc all taxed to the limit and further enlarge ment of some of the elementary schools is imperative before the October ses- sion.
 Tn this connection it appears to me that we are not doing our duty to the negro population in the matter of school facilities. Since the burning of the Thom- as school years ago the basement of a small church at the corner of Third ave nue and Twenty-ffth street has been used in its place. These quarters are in adequate and insanitary. As matter of fact, the negroes are not as well pro-

 "Thou-thou art the .Robber Chief" he stammered. His adversary bowed.
 "lt is thou who didst murder Baron Divonne, and who didst starve the Squire's daughter of Yverton with her seven children, and" So great was his horror of the tales that focked to his tongue that he failed to speak them. but a light as from the wings of the Angel of Judgment shone from his eyes and brow.
 The question is not. Shall l take thy purse? ' the Chief said gently. "I have it. The question is How shall I dispose or 1t to the best advantage?
 Tt isn't that, do not want the purse," said the young man scornfully; but how canst thou traffic in crme?"
