A. a. JOSEPH
GOLDSBORO. N. c.
The Officer and His Handy Gum.
Wilmington Star

Ine OHcer ana HIS Hanuy Uun.
Wilmington Star.
The sad and lamentable occurrence
at Black Mountain, resulting in the
killing of prominent young man
from Wilmington and the serious
wounding of another from a different
part of the State, is serving to direct
attention to the recklessness of some
officers of the law and to emphasize
the Importance of selecting for re-
sponsible and serious duties only men
of intelligence, good judgment and
cool-headedness.
The light thrown latterly upon the
Black Mountain tragedy shows that
the homicide was an unjustifiable
crime. If not premeditated, it was
wanton, and the officer guilty of it
should merit the severest punishment
for whatever crime he has committed
himself against the laws which he was
sworn to uphold. A thorough investi-
cation by the courts, would no doubt
determine the degree of the officers
ished accordingly.
The law does not warrant any Off
Ger to use deadly weapon except in
cases where the officers life is actu-
ally in danger. In no case does the
law warrant sheriff, policeman or
constable to shoot when making an
arrest for misdemeanors and only are
they excusable in extreme cases of
felony. This sorrowful incident re-
minds us to say that the courts GER
tainly would do a good work by in
structing officers as to how far they
can go in the performance of their
duties.
Some of our North Carolina eX-
changes are commenting upon the sad
affair at Black Mountain. Concerning
it the Salisbury Daily Post says:
'The lot Of police officer at its
best is not enviable, but we are i'm
pressed again by the Black Mountain
tragedy in which one man was killed
and another seriously wounded by a
constable, that some officers are too
play. An officer of the law has every
advantage over the private citizen. He
is not only armed. with authority to
shoot to kill if necessary, but he may
call to his aid any number of persons.
In the case of the Black Mountain po-
liceman it does not appear that his
life was at any time in Jeopardy. He
became panic-stricken, it seems from
the testimony given before the coro
| ner's jury, and fired at random il
the dark, but with fatal effect. A mar
lacking self-control has no business
with police power. Lacking it, he is
constant menace to society and
more an enemy than a supporter OF
law"
The Greensboro Daily News makes
this observations:
"It is perhaps too early to express
an opinion on the tragedy at Black
Mountain, but it does seem that an
officer might be able to quiet dis
turbance in hotel without shooting
|, the guests full of holes"

A wORD TO TEACHERS.

At this season of the yeaf-=When
the schools of the country will soon
be opening, it is opportune to say a
word not of criticism but of counsel
in regard to the teaching cur own
language.
In the older American colleges, as
in the English, Scotch and Irish uni
versities, the English course has al
ways been adequate and attractive.
and graduates have usually shown
themselves to be masters of a good
writing style. But in some of our
more modern institution of learning
sufficient attention has not been given
to the native tongue. The English
course may have been admirable and
the instructors competent, but the
students have either not been required
or have not found time, to apply
themselves to this important branch
of their education.
This is singularly true in respect to
chronological schools or to the engi-
neering departments of universities. A
glance at the catalogue of any first
/
an exhaustive English course-his-
tory, literature and composition; but
the young man who is striving to gain
a diploma for proficiency in mechani-
cal, mining or electrical engineering
economic chemistry, economic geolos
gy or any branch of science or tech
nical knowledge, has to work hard in
his chosen line-has to work, as a
rule, over-time-and therefore has
scant opportunity to do much in the
way of studying English literature Oh
alquiring the technique of writing
And yet mastery of English, ane
especially the art of composition, Is
absolutely essential to the technically
educated man, provided he aspires tt
take leading position in his profes
Sicn or vocation, for the obvious rea
son that he will be called upon tt
submit reports and discuss larg'
| questions in writing. Upon his order
ly sentences and power of expression
will turn vast undertakings.
So long then as the student in
chronological institute finds little o
no time for the study of English it /
all the more desirable that he get
good start in it in the public schoo
or in a preparatory classical schoo
Many an ambitious young man of in

Newton Newkirk, who does
"Bingville Bugle" stuff, is handi-
capped in one wayne looks the

The reason Montreal secured
the next convention Is because Cy
Warman told new railroad
story. 1t listened sweeter than
any he ever wrote.
Joe Cone tore off some Yankee
dialect. He is now studying up
on United States.
James M. Lee was almost lone
some. He found none of the old
jokes in attendance.
Ted Robinson recited an un-
published poem composed largely
of giggles. You can't publish
giggles.
Duncan M. Smith may go on the
platform. The only difficulty
will be in getting him off.
w. r. Rose was accused of
faultless elocution by one of the
Buffalo papers. A correspondence
school of expression will be the
inevitable result.
Leonard Robbins had been west
year. He was on the way home
to nest again.

The sleeve is to be narrower at
the bottom. The coat will be long
wasted, with swing at the hips
1t will measure about 80 inches for
a man of average height-say five
feet eight.
The coat collar will be broad and
the lapels long. OF course, there
fore. they will be narrow. From
the bottom of the collar to the bot
tom Of the lapel must be exactly
four inches.
And remember: Your coat collar
this year ought to be like the collar
