The present good crops in Pitt
county mean something to the
agricultural classes. For several
years short crops and low prices
Have cramped the farmers, to
such an extent that they have had
to deny themselves and their
families many things which they
would haye enjoyed. This ~crop
will not make them easy, but it]
will aid very materially toward
this result: The cramped condi-
tion of the agricultural interesis
geiterally effects every other, and
nune probably more than the ed-
ucational interests. Many a boy
and girl haye mkesed an educa-
tion bevause father and mother
taought they could cut off
here first This is a mistaken
iiea. The last place a man should
begin to vtint is in the eaucation
o? his children. They are grow-
jag and their opportunities are
fast slipping away, and what you
do for them must be done quick-
ly. itis mistaken idea to trv
to accumulate property for them
td the neglect of their mental
~training. .1t will be mach better
for them to start in life without a
* penny, fally equipped to make a
diving, than to start; with property
and not even an ordinary educa-
tion. The present conditions in
the South imperatively demand
that a man shall educate as far as
possible his children. If this is
not dove he will soor find that
his own off-spring has fewer op-
portunities in life than,an inferi-
or race by'whom he is surround:
ed, The object of writing this is
to suggest to you fathers and
mothers in Pitt county that you
avail youyself of the opportunity
offered by the present good crops
and send yor uchildren to school.
Tt will soon be time for the
~schools to begin. There should
be a large increase of patronage
for the schools of the county
You need not think thetime will
aver come when all things will be
ready for you to spare your boys
aud girls. You must make some
sicrifices if you would give them
the opportunities which you owe
them. Now is a good time to
begin. The best time you have
had ~for five years presents itself.
DonTt neglect it.

Patrick Hawley Finds the Wife
He Left.
Three years agothe care and
trouble of supporting a wife and
four children became too arduous
for Patrick Hawley, so informed
his wife that he or sha would
have to get out. Mrs. Hawley.
who has dore the bulk of the sup-
porting, anyway, promptly tock
the tw girls.and went away.
Hawley had the two boys com-
mitted to an institution, and for
two years he roved around the
country enjoying himself and
neyer giving a thought to his
family. Inone way and another
Hawley managed to save up 4
little money while roving about
and when he cam» back here sev-
eral months ago and gota good
job, it occurred to him that he
would like to have his wife back
again. He searched high and
low tor her, but never atrace of
her or the girls could he find. He
advertised in vain, and he made
inquiries among her eld friends,
but all to no purpose. Mrs. Haw-
ley had disappeared as complete-
ly as if the earth had opened and
swallowed her up. Then Hawley
began to be unhappy. Now that
be couldnTt find his wife, he was
very sure that he was madly in
love with her and could neyer be
happy without her. He fivally
made up his mind tuat she was
dead, and went about his work
day by day, looking sad and woe~
begone?
It happened about a monihago
thata fellow workman, taking
pity on HawleyTs lonely condition
asked him 1f he wouldnTt like to
go to a liltle evening company at
the house of a friend of his. The
triend was James Patterson, of
440 West Thirty-sixth street and
HawleyTs triend was sure that
Patterson would be glad to see
any friend of his. So Hawley
went. He was drinking a bunper
tothe health of the Patterson
family when Mrs. Patterson came
in.
oMargaret!� gasped Hawley.
oPat!� gasped Mrs. Patterson,
as she sank on a lounge in a
swoon. When she_ recevered,
Mrs. Patterson, rising up, point-
ed to the door.and bade Hawley
begone. Hawley went, complete-
ly crushed, while his wife ex-
plained things to Patterson,
Now that he knew here his
wife was, Hawley couldnTt keep
He haunted the
Patterson home. and became such
a nuisance that Patterson s3ked
the policeman on the beat to keep
him away. The policeman warn-
ed Hawley, and the tatter took
care not to be around when the
pohceman was. On Naturday
night Hawley made up his mind
to zet his wife wack at all haz-
son home, entered unbidden,
_| punched Patterson around, and
with him to the Patter-
snapped his revolver at hig suc-
cessorTs head severgl times. It
didnTt go off, because in his haste
Hawley had forgotten to load it-
Having, however, thu3 subdued
Patterson, Hawley comimanded
his wife to come with him at
once. Mrsv Patterson, or Hawley
declined. She told Hawley that
Patterson was a decent man and
treated her well, and that she
would never desert him. Then
Hawley attacked her, and her
screams brought a policeman to
the house. He arrested Hawley
and his wife and Patterson. They |
promised to appear against him
in the vefferson Market Police
court yesterday, but didnTt and
Magistrate Cornell discharged
Hawley after warnicg him to
adopt more lawful measures to
regain possession of his wife."N.

Harper, charging his brother
Lewis with, the crime. No one
saw the murder. Both men were
today remanded to jail without
bail for the, action of the Novem--
ber grand jury.
The murder, it seems was most
cruel and wunprovoked, has
thoroughly arcused the commun-
ity which has nos yet recovered
from the Eastham-Thompson
homicide, which occurred only
three miles further south a few
months ago, and lynching is
freely taiked cf. The trouble
arose from a bill which Coleman
Pitzer beld against Rev Burgoy-
ne. Last nieht he asked, the
preacher to pay it, When the
latter said he had not the money,
~y/at the same time asking Pitzer to
wait a little while longer, he was
assailed by the Pitzer with stones.
He was badly cut in the neck and
bead, a furious bombardment be-
ing kept up on the old man as he
attempted to make his escape.
He was at last felled with a large
sharp stone, which struck him on
the back of the neck, breaking it.
Death was instantaneous. The
i Pitzers are regarded as worthless
fallows. Rey, Burgoyne was iden-
tified with the community for
many vears.
