.of tile school.
i While the Board was 10 session
la meeting Of citizens was helf
simultaneously and adopted
The following resolution:
Whereas, 1t Is tie sense of The
injecting that All Agricultural and
Industrial School should be es.
1tahlished in Lincoln County:
Therefore be it
/ Resolved, That we request our
County School Board and Board
Eof Supervisors to take such action
as may BIO necessary for the loca-
tion and establishment Of such
sch00l.
it is we'll to state here, that the
County School Board, and not the
Board of Supervisors, has full
jurisdiction over the question of
locating and establishing the
school; the Board of Supervisors,
however, has sole control over
IleVying all taxes for its support,
not to exceed two mills annually.
If the Board OF Supervisors
levies a tax and within 90 days
after it is levied, 90 per cent of
the qualified electors petition the
Board against such levy, the ques-
tion of the tax is then to be sub
mitted to vote OF the qualified
electors at the polls.
There is every reason To believe
that if tho County Board Of Edu-
cation decides to establish the
school, that the community which
successfully completes for the loca
ton, will furnish the necessary
land and buildings to start the
school, free of cost to the county.
After the school is established,
the State furnishes every year
ST 900 for the expense fund.
Whatever tax is levied by the
Supervisors, therefore, would
only be needed to supplement the.
above for equipment and neces
sary maintenance of the school.
The County Board of Education
will meet June 13 to receive bids
for the location and il meanwhile
assured Of the necessary oo-opera-
tion from the Board of Supervis-
ors will proceed to decide Gu the
site and settle other preliminaries.
Already there are five candl-
dates announced. Heuck's Re-
treat has made a preliminary offer
of 81 900 and thirty five acres Of
iand, and Bogue Chitto offers

A SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.
Or. Gordon Penn Seriously Wounded
by His Brother Ben.


During an alteration ID the
business Office Of the Penn Furni-
ture Go. last Saturday afternoon,
DR.. Gordon Penn, formerly a
practicing dentist of this city,
was shot and dangerously wound
ed By his younger brother, Ben
Penn, the head OF the Penn Furni-
Iture 20. DR.. Penn received two
wounds in the left hand, one in
the right arm and two in the right
breast, and for time it was
thought one of the latter would
Eprove fatal, but he rallied after
the first shock and his condition
is now reported favorable and bis
chances Of recovery good. Oscar.
Hartman Vas tiza only Ey ILness
to the shooting, though several
other persons were in other parts
Iof the building at the time.
As soon as the shooting occur
red, not knowing but that be bad
killed his brother, Ben started at
once to the court house and sur
rendered to Sheriff Greer, by
whom he was taken into custody
and next day released on d bond
of SO, 900. The pistol used was a
80 special.
Ii is learned that the deplorabIe
affair had its origin altogether
from private differences in the
Penn family. DR.. Penn had no
business connection with the Penn
Furniture Co., and on Saturday
it seems, went to his younger
brothers store under the influence
of drink, and by his language and
conduct provoked the trouble
which so soon followed.
Ben Penn is the youngest Of
three sons of Mr.. John Penn of
this city. He has always been a
sober, energetic, hard working
young man, who has struggled to
succeed and make something of
himself along right lines and has
hitherto borne q good reputation.
and IN the present unfortunate
circumstances, The Leader feels
warranted ID saying he is entitled
to the most Gonsidcrate Judgment
|by the public until it il conclu-
|sively shown that ne IS justly
culhable.

having occurred in those places a

The General Election

The vote Tuesday for Judge Taft
was as great a surprise for the Re-
publicans as it was to the Democrats
in the middle and eastern states, for
neither side was expecting that New
York city would give majority for
the Republican candidate.
While Mr.. Bryan has gone down
in defeat for the third time, he still
lives as high in the estimation of the
masses of the people as though he
had won the contest.
He conducted a wonderful cam
paign and in a manner which could
not have been equaled by any one in
his party. This being so and as it is
conceded that the Republican and
Democratic parties are the two lead
ing political forces in this country, it
must be accepted that Mr.. Bryan's
defeat is due to the fact that the
country is satisfied to let we'll enough
alone, or was doubtful of the issues
placed in the Democratic platform
being for the general welfare of the
people.
The cutting down of Republican
majorities in most all of the western
states far below what they've four
years ago will have direct bearing
and be significant of future political
trend and bodies well for the Demo
cratic party in the next presidential
contest.
The west is fast outstripping the
east in commercial relations and this
fact will initiate against the latter
in apolitical way and four years from
now We predict the south and west
will link together and elect Demo
cratic president without New York
state.
The popular wave for Mr.. Bryan
waned as election day approached in
the east, caused no doubt by the i'm
mense demonstrations brought about
by the party in power to divert at
tcntion from Mr.. Bryan and incite
commercial lines to declare his cleo
ton would prove disastrous to bust
ness and manufacturing interests, all
of which has had its effect upon
many people who earlier in the cam
paign were in favor of the Democratic
candidate.
While the Republican party has
been returned to power it should re-
alize that it is losing strength with
the independent voter, and that I'M
less it meets the wishes of that ele-
ment, and even of certain members
of its own party, it will be seriously
hampered in 1912. provided the Dem
ocrats are careful and conservative
in management'of their affairs and
viii nominate as standard bearers
men who are strong and influential.
