MONK GIBSON
TO BE HUNG

Cuero, Texas, June 26-The story
of one of the most sensational and
dastardly crimes that ever stirred
Texas will be brought to a close to-
morrow, when Monk Gibson mounts
the gallows to pay the death penalty
for the murder of the Conditt famil
in Jackson county nearly three years
ago.
The murder of Mrs. A. ]. Condit
and her four children occurred on the
Conditt farm near the town of Edna
early in October, 1905. The husband
end father was summoned from his
work in the field by Monk Gibson, a
negro youth, and told that something
had occurred at his house. When he
arrived home he found the terribly.
hacked bodies of his wife and four
young children lying about the house
and in the yard. Monk Gibson told a
story of having seen a negro leave the
place and he himself was not at first
suspected. He failed TO stick to his
story, however, and investigation by
the authorities led to the fastening of
suspicion upon him. After he was
taken into custody he made a sensa-
tional escape from his captors and
was not found for some time. Fear
of a lynching led to a speedy trial,
which resulted in his conviction and
sentence to death. A new trial was
obtained and this and appeals to the
higher courts have delayed the carry.
ing out of the sentence for more than
two years. Another negro was exc
cuted more than a year ago on the
charge of having been an accomplice

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION AND
TECHNICAL TRAINING.

Technical training puts the young
man right into the earning capacity
class. Technical training does not
have to wait to be put on trial nor
to serve and apprenticeship in the
wage scale. The technically trained
young man begins at the head of the
lay roll. Technical training capital.
ICES the best years of a young mans
life. Texas will graduate a number
of that sort next month. Many have
teen booked for employment out of
the state. Texas can aid in the work
of development.-Fort Worth Star.
The young man with technical
training has capital that cannot be
taken away from him, come what will
.-Denison Herald.
Nothing short of disease that inca.
pacitates the mind or the body can
stay the fortunes of the industrially
educated and technically trained man
or woman.
In state like Texas, where there
are so many opportunities for the ex.
emplification of the value of such ed.
ucation and training( 1t is passing
strange that We do not have a larger
number of industrial schools where
technical training is had.
The manual training department of
the Austin High School is its indis
pensable feature.
The work done in that department
is of inestimable benefit to those who
are so fortunate as to take the pre-.
scribed course.
A trained and skilled workman
workwoman is never necessarily out
of a good paying position long at a
time. Their services are always in

The last reports presented to tn

in having work for the membership
during the last ten months.

system of 25 cents per week dues
saves it from the fear of strikes and |
