Waterville, who was indicted by the
grand jury at the present term for
assault with intent to kill upon Joseph
LaPoint July q last at Wateryille.
f. w. Clair appeared for the respond
cnt.
The indictment was mol pressed as
far os the intent to kill was concerned.
The respondent then withdrew his pre-
vious plea of not guilty and pleaded
nolO contcndere.
Joseph LaPoint the victim of the
alleged assault, testified that the re-
spondent asked him for drink. Wit
ness told him that he did not have any
liquor and Walker started to wrestle
with him and then threw him after
which he stabbed him in the arm and
side, The cuts were 50 bad that the
doctor was obliged to take Is stitches
to close them. Witness on cross eX-
animation testified that he thought at
first that Walker was only foolng and

the two.

Good news from the South: Fewer
lynchings and more black children in
school than ever before. That's the
stuff which makes civilization. st.
Paul Daily News, Dec. 7th.
Such comment is appreciated by all
readers of the News. We acknowl-
edge this condition, nevertheless, we
would not have our readers believe
that "lynching" anywhere was prac-
ticed by intelligent white men, or
caused by intelligent Negroes. ......
The ignorant white men of the South
originated this custom, thus violating
all rules Of law and order. They are
becoming educated. and will soon
know how to let the law take its
course. The ignorant whites of the
South are morally inferior to the H.
literate blacks.

A PLEA FOR THE CONSERVATION
OF ANOTHER GREAT Ma
TIONAl RESOURCE.
BY Mr.. +. p. ChishoIr

~ WV - ~ SUIottStIVs
in November No. Of Education
Mr.. Chisholm calls attention to the
fact that there Is as great a waste of
Negro brains and industrial efficiency
as there Is Of our National resources.
Among other things Mr.. Chisholm
says, When to the fact of short
school session we add the further fact
that the instruction given Is of the
most elementary sort. the teacher
pitiably ignorant, the school building
woefully inadequate, and then con-
slider that less than one-half of the
Negroes of school age are in school
even the short school term, the evil
dence is clear that this alarming and
unsatisfactory condition of Negro com.
mon schools demands immediate and
vigorous action" Measured by the
facts and figures before us, education
on any large scale has not yet been
tried for the Negroes. Furthermore,
unless these young Negroes are edu.
Gated, ignorance will inevitably grow
denser. And this simply means that
crimes, lynching, lawlessness, poverty
and economic inefficiency win In
crease. The net result will be vast
national loss growing out Of the more
basic problem of Negro ignorance arts.
ing from national indifference. In the
light of history and in consideration
of our own experience as a nation rel
garding the relationship Of illiteracy,
to crime and race antagonisms, 1t isl
clear that the proper provision for the
education of every Negro child in the
land viii mean an immense saving to
the nation in Negro intelligence and
thrift. Any other policy will be waste
full and criminal"
