North Carolina Textile School.

The Textile School of the North
Carolina College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts has a complete
equipment of machinery for in
struction in Cotton Manufacture
ing. Young men who enter this
school are taught to operate the
different machines and to make
all the calculations necessary to
produce yarns and fabrics.
A completely equipped dye.
house has been added to the
school, and a thoroughly practi-
cal course in dyeing is now given.
Another interesting fact is that
knitting machinery has been ad-
ded to the equipment. The knit
ting industry is becoming very
important In North Carolina and
the addition of this machinery to
the textile school is very timely
and makes this school one Ct the
best equipped in America.
Last year and again this year
the National Association of Cot
ton Manufacturers awarded the
Students Medal to his school,
which is the only Southern school
to receive it. This association is
composed of the leading mill men
in America.
The school is under the direc-
tion of Thomas Nelson, who has
bad considerable mill experience
i'll England and America.

Cervera's entire Spanish t1eet had been
destroyed off Santiago by the United
States fleet, that 600 Spaniards had
been killed and drowned and 1,4oO
taken prisoners on the day before.

Impeachment Stands.

Montgomery, Ala, June 49,
The Supreme Court this afternoon
denied the application of Frank
Cazalas, impeached sheriff of Mo-
bile county, for a new trial, thus
making his impeachment final.
Cazalas was removed from the
office by the Supreme Court on
the Charge Of gross neglect in al
lowing Richard Robertson, a
negro, to be taken from the Mo-
bile county Jail and lynched. In
the original proceedings before the
Supreme Court it was shown that
Notwithstanding rumors we're cur
rent that an attempt would be
made to lynch Robertson on the
night of the occurrence, the sheriff
took no steps to protect the
negro.
The costs of the impeachment
proceedings amounting to several
thousand dollars, were assessed
against the deposed sheriff. It is
reported that Cazalas will be a
candidate for reelection in 1910

they worked, but it was a long

Is THIS The PANACEA.
New Jersey Sberiff's Plan Might Prove
Worth an Extended Trial.

Burlington, N. j., June 49,
The "Bean Soup remedy recent
ly introduced by Sheriff William
w. Worrell, as one of his famous
reform plans, is not only saving
Burlington county several hun
dred dollars monthly, but is MAX
ing more real converts for tenn
perance than any number of
"gold cures"
Hoboes we're the scourage of
small cities aud towns about the
county when Worrell went into
office. Past conditions at the jail
had made it a handy Winter Re-
treat for the "idle sons of the
road" When Worrell made the
tramp prisoners battle, wash their
cells and do all the work about
the jail there was a bolt of free
tramps to other counties.
The sheriff a few weeks ago be-
gan to apply the same plan to the
"drunks" who are 50 frequently
sent up that the prison officials re-
garded them as ''steadies." When
the tramps deserted, the Jail work
was given to the habitnal drunk
ards, but in addition the sheriff
prescribed a daily menu of "bean
soup" for all prisoners. One ex-
perience under the ''nean soup"
menu, the police officials say, is
keeping more men sober than the
authority of the alag commits.
sion" to which the recent legis-
lature gave permission to publicly
blacklist drunkards.
Howls of some of the prisoners
over the unchanging diet of "bean
soup are reaching the outer
world. One of these bowls came
to Police Captain Shumard, of
Burlington. 1t was written from
jail by a local 'rounder" and in
part read:
Dear Capt. am writing to
see if you can get some of my time
taken off. | don't like the bean
soup they serve over here now.
They don't even use white beans
any more. They make it out of
yellow beans, but it's bean soup
just the same, and nothing but
bean soup every day. D. the
beans I'm a sober man now and
| can keep sober for months, for if
you get me out [ won't come back
to beans very soon. Cap, if you
ever done anything for me in your
life, do it now"
Twenty tramps who say they
see things in a different light since
sentenced to the bath tub by
Sheriff Worrell, are working as
Industrious farm hands in the
county. Aversion Of 'drunks"
to the bean soup gives promise of
reforming several times the num-
Der of "habituals."

COnfeSSeS to Murder Of Engineer Holt.

mon Shepherd, alias William
Thomas, a negro, yesterday con-
fessed b. accident to the Columbus
police that he is wanted at Dur
ham, N. c., for murder. He is
held awaiting word from Durham
Shepherd was pawning a watch
when the police arrested him. He
began to deny that he had ''killed
the man." After soma question:
ing as to what he meant, Shepherd
said he was implicated i'll the kill
ing of Engineer Holt, on the
Southern between Greensboro and
Durham last October. He said
the engineer canght him riding
the blind baggage and threw him
off, whereupon he fired at the en-
gineer.
The Durham Herald publishes
the following in connection with
the above dispatch:

RATTLESNAKE

1T was Judge Harper's suggestion
that Rattlesnake Creek celebrate
the Fourth of July. The judge ran
the biggest store in town and at
the same time acted as justice Of the
peace when anybody wanted law in
hunks and chunks, and one day in June
he called for a public mass meeting.
When the inhabitants had assembled
on the public square he said:

Valley Forge, we went in and give the
British blaZes at Yorktown and won
our liberty, and the American eagle is
foppin' his wings and askin' fur a
chance to scream. Shall we give it to
him and put our heels on the tyrant's
neck, or shall we loaf around and let
the proud bird of freedom fly off with
the crows and the tyrant yoke us up
like so many OXen?'
1t was promptly and unanimously
decided to turn the American eagle
loose and knock the tyrant out in tho
first round. Cheers were given and
money contributed to accomplish the
same, and the Fourth was celebrated
in Rattlesnake Creek as follows:
When the momentous day arrived a
salute was fired at sunrise, and there
was general righteousness during the
morning. with frequent cheers for
Washington, Benedict Arnold, James
J. JefTries and others.
At high noon there was another sa-
lutte, and, as one of the citizens re-
marked, most of the bullets were high
balls.
At 1 o'clock the procession formed
and marched to the grove. There were
general good feeling and Whoops for
liberty and the American eagle.
At > o'clock the judge delivered his
address on THE Cradle of Liberty"
He also Incidentally mentioned that
his store was the only place in Mon
tana where fresh eggs could be had.
The balance of the afternoon was
strictly devoted to the cause Of liber-
ty. Some of the patriots got Napoleon
and John l.. Sullivan mixed, but it was
no time to be particular.
The fireworks were advertised to be-
gin at dark, and just at shutdown, as
fuel vas being carried to the square
for a bonfire, the judge noticed a ten
derfoot on the street and beckoned to
him and asked:
