Rector was convicted of criminal
assault in August, 1881, and con-
demned to be executed on October 2
of the same year.
The clerk Of Burke County Su-
perior Court was supposed to have GER
titled the boys conviction to the
State Supreme Court last fall.
Assistant Attorney General A. A
F. Sewell has just received a transcript
of the judgment.
Seawell went before the Supreme
Court and moved that Rector's appeal
be docketed and dismissed. So far, the
appeal has never been filed.
This combination of events failure
of the clerk to certify the conviction

that an appeal would be taken, made

INCREASE OF 333
OVER THE NUMBER
EMPLOYED IN 81
Allotment of Funds To
Schools Increased Over
80 Thousand Dollars In
North Carolina.

An increase of 333 in number of
teachers for the public schools in
North Carolina for next year, to a
total of 1855 teachers, has been
made by the State Board Of Equaliza-
ton, which increased the allotment
of funds $50, 1868, or from the
original allotment of $l5,4S2,279.1s
for the past year to $15,512,3S5.S6
for next year, a tabulation issued by
Leroy Martin, secretary of the board,
shows.
The table shows the allotments for
the four main items, general control,
Institutional service, operation of plant
and auxiliary agencies, in the 100
county school systems and "a charter
schools, the allotments for three small
'er items, attendance, audit and rural
supervision, to be made later.
While the increased attendance of
1869 pupils in the schools the past
year would require about 500 addi-
tional teachers under present provi-
sions, the board found it necessary to
strike a compromise, since the schools
have to operate next year N the same
funds provided for the past year, ex-
cept that small savings were made the
past year which may be used for next
year. Reductions have been made in
the various. items of cost in order to
provide funds for the additional teach
ers allotted, but the reductions in those
items would have been to great to pro-
vide funds for all the additional teach
ers needed.
Three of these main items were re-
duced for next year: general control
by $34,979, or from $526,055 to
$491,o76; operation of plant by $59,-
292, or from $4,000 to $S10,713,
and auxiliary agencies by $7S,714.54,
or from $1,615,912.1S to $1,537,137.-
81, which reductions count for
$1z2, 1854 Of the total increase of
$203,092.22 in Institutional service.
This last item was increased from
s12,47o,3o2 the past year to sIz,e73,-
394.22 for next year.

Hamas is sharp, clean puncher

A brilliant defense which held the
Scarlet snipers to long range eff

that sent Ray Miller and others

Both teams started slowly, and
it was six minutes before either

6 TO 2 edge, and the count mounted
steadily TO Is to at rest time.
