Dickey was in charge of the meeting. Dr. Allen, following the assigned subject, "What my work or profession is doing for the advancement of Christie citizenship in the State of ' North Carolina" went on to explain ' the cost of public education and the multitude of difficulties we have to ' face in an effort to carry it ever on- i ward. The exact cost of a lesson can be tabulated, the speaker said, but to determine the value of a day's school- ] ing was impossible. But even if it be impossible to compute the true re- turn from a day in school in concrete terms, there is a growth that shows in all future life. A Mr. Allen outlined the progress ot the school system in our State, and pointed out the important places in its .trend upward.

Coroner S. B. Biggs with SfterTfl itoebuck visited the scene yesterday iiiorning and held an inquest over the body. The information gained amount- ed to little, and the jury stated in i.ts \erdict that tlje woman came to her death by / axe htMfcltched wounds in- by some unknown person or persons. j- - Sunday afternoon .the woman weal to the home of Obadiah Moore, near " place -where -the-body was -fmmd at 7- o'clock' yesterday morning. Ac- cording to evidence given at the Moore -lorne, the woman left there about three o'clock that afternoon. ' While >.he was there Walter Moore, for whom she was said to have worked and "Clyde' Wynne came for her, but | she refused to leave with them and !K< to Plymouth. Sometime after I Moore and Wynne left she went out of the bat;k door of the Moore home and was not seen any more by that Uimily. It is understood, however, that she went from the Moore home to that of a negro named Cordon who also lives near the spot where the body was found. She remained at his home until a short while beftire~iuh- si t when she Jeft atid went down a little jjiath leading across the railroad. Nothing more was seen of her untit the body was found lying partly on the cross ties and on.the ground about thirty feet from the point where the little path she had followed fromCor- . home crossed the railroad. It is the general opinion of those who visited the spot and saw the body , 'hat the woman was murdered some place nearby and her body was placed lon the railroad tu make it appear ' a ii it she was killed by the train. The - body was found before the train pass- ed yesterday morning, and the wounds in the head clearly showed she had hei n murdered. Three separate j wounds were" inflicted ,one across the j n«, M-, and two' on the head, one of which was about the length, of an axe and almut an inch deep. Coroner lliggs stated the condition I of the body indicated that the mur- d'ej was done around midnight or Mii.hnm- or "" Intel- ?l?_ | Officers searched the two houses 1 where she visited Sunday afternoon, 6ut no ,evidence could gained. There was very little blood at the body, and the only thing connected in anyway with the killing was her \u25a0 hat which was found abotit 111) feet from the body. This led officers to be- liive that the body was carried from th< little path down the railroad af- ter the murder was committed some- place else. Late yesterday afternoon, the body I awaited burial arrangements, the j county refusing to dispose of it and iciatives claiming they were to |WM»V I to bury the body. However, this morii- I ing a cheap coffin was purchased from a firm in Jamesville, and interment j was made this afternoon. Her body met with almpst the same fate as j that of John Henry Boston, a relative, who froze to death in the big snow | last March. His body was placed in a barn to await burial after it had been i refused admittance into the homes of | realtives -of the old man. The mur- dered woman's body lay in state on | the back porch of a vacant house last night near the scene of the murder, j The .murdered woman lived here a ' short while about six years ago, but ' since that time she has been staying I it her home in the Freen Union sec- j tion and in Plymouth.

The second of the series of com-munity meetings was held in theschool auditorium when Dr. A. T.Alien, Superintendent of Public In-struction, made a splendid talk to a

small but appreciative'audience. Thereeling was opened with prayer byRpv. T. W. Lee. Rev. C. H. Dickeywas in charge of the meeting.

Dr. Allen, following the assignedsubject, "What my work or profession

is doing for the advancement ofChristie citizenship in the State of

' North Carolina" went on to explain' the cost of public education and the

multitude of difficulties we have to' face in an effort to carry it ever on-

i ward. The exact cost of a lesson canbe tabulated, the speaker said, but todetermine the value of a day's school-

] ing was impossible. But even if it beimpossible to compute the true re-

turn from a day in school in concreteterms, there is a growth that showsin all future life. A

Mr. Allen outlined the progress ot

the school system in our State, and

pointed out the important places in its

.trend upward. The speaker veryskillfully showed the valye of hispiofession when he pictured the re-

sult should the doors of the schoolsbe closed and not a dollar be raisedfor education.

It was only September of last yearwl\en Mr. Gano moved here fromVirginia Beach and established hishome where he said he hoped to en-

, joy his old age in his favorite sport

1 of riaaing poultry and trucking.Everything went well with him untilearly spring when he found himselt

s in the grip of the dreadful disease.He gradually grew worse until theend came. .?» ,; ?

Stephen Gano was born in Cin-cinnati October 26, 1868. In 1888 hemarfted Miss Sophia Carroll Arons,ot that city. She with four children, iHoward A. Gano, of Ashland, Ky? l

no was a devoted member, j ilge for many years. He was

ember of Madisonville lodge,. I -i> in which lodge he hao. j the important offices. He wasr, ii of the Virginia Bea.-a

rom which he was going t>>to Skewarkee. Few p»->pic

ha\ t fi.!li wed the teachings of inas-

oniy with more earnest zeal th in he, did.

, Although there are only a fe.vjH"o|le of the name Gano in ilii&country, the forefathers of the tic-

. ceased came to America in 1661

J figured prominently in the sej.-, 1 tlinient, freedom and development of

the country. When Stephen Gano, aKteuch Hugenot, sought more free-dom and came to America, he pur-chased 80 acres of the uplands and 10ucres of the meadw land on StatenIsland on the Hudson river side and

# where New York now stands.~ A later grandfather, John Gano, or-

ganized the first Baptist church inI New York. He was a chaplain in the

Revolutionary War and gained the, distincition of "Fighting Chaplain of

Revolutionary Fame."Another grandfather, John S. Gano,

was a "major general under GeneralWilliam Henry Harrison.

Members of the* family answeredthe call of the Weßt" and settled at

Losantoville, later changed to Cincin-' natt, and where Stephen Gano, the

i father of the deceased, was bom.In October, 1863 Stephen was born

l and4»e attendedthe Cincinnati schools.- The greatest feature of his education

was when he served as page in the' L'lilted States Senate during fiye ses-

-1 "ions and where he took some schoolwork-in addition to his contact with

! many of the foremost American states* men. Among the intimate friendships

1 he built as a boy of eleven years, I1 were those of President Grant, Henry Is Wilson, George H. llos- 1

cue Conklin, and \u25a0jfihn Sherman.1 After maturing in age, he held im-'

f portant positions with the Union' Pacific railroad. Later he was traffic

manager for a large pipe and stell

8 company which job he gave up to be- j" come freight solicitor for the Penn- i

' sylvania railroad with headquarters' at. Cincinnati. This work proved too

strenuous and he bought a farm and J' settled near Virginia Beach. The de-I velopers of that resort wanted his'

land and he sold out and came to this? county where he made his home for i

' more than a year. During that timehe proved himself a worthy citizen

5 and a loyal friend to everybody heknew.

Several Hatchet or AxeWounds in Skull and

Face

NO CLUE TO KILLERMovements of Dead Woman Checked

Up To Sunset Sunday Evening-Murdered About Midnight

Mittie Boston, 30 year-old negre.%l,was found dead yesterday ' morningjust a short distance thin side ofDardens on the Atlantic Coast Line *

Bail road track with several hatchetJr axe wounds in her skull ;ind face.

, Mystery surrounds the murder, andafter searching for-clues the greaterl«irt of yesterday, officers were at aOPS to assign any motive 4f»r "tlie

brutal crime. ?

Coroner S. B. Biggs with SfterTflitoebuck visited the scene yesterdayiiiorning and held an inquest over thebody. The information gained amount-ed to little, and the jury stated in i.ts\erdict that tlje woman came to herdeath by/ axe htMfcltched wounds in-

by some unknown person orpersons.

j- - Sunday afternoon .the woman wealto the home of Obadiah Moore, near

" place -where -the-body was -fmmdat 7- o'clock' yesterday morning. Ac-cording to evidence given at the Moore-lorne, the woman left there aboutthree o'clock that afternoon. ' While>.he was there Walter Moore, forwhom she was said to have workedand "Clyde' Wynne came for her, but

| she refused to leave with them and!K< to Plymouth. Sometime afterI Moore and Wynne left she went outof the bat;k door of the Moore homeand was not seen any more by thatUimily. It is understood, however,that she went from the Moore hometo that of a negro named Cordon whoalso lives near the spot where thebody was found. She remained at hishome until a short while beftire~iuh-si t when she Jeft atid went down alittle jjiath leading across the railroad.Nothing more was seen of her untitthe body was found lying partly onthe cross ties and on.the ground aboutthirty feet from the point where thelittle path she had followed fromCor-. home crossed the railroad.

It is the general opinion of thosewho visited the spot and saw the body

, 'hat the woman was murdered someplace nearby and her body was placed

lon the railroad tu make it appear'

a ii it she was killed by the train. The -body was found before the train pass-ed yesterday morning, and the woundsin the head clearly showed she hadhei n murdered. Three separate

j wounds were" inflicted ,one across thej n«, M-, and two' on the head, one ofwhich was about the length, of anaxe and almut an inch deep.

Coroner lliggs stated the conditionI of the body indicated that the mur-

d'ej was done around midnight orMii.hnm- or "" Intel- ?l?_

| Officers searched the two houses1 where she visited Sunday afternoon,6ut no ,evidence could b« gained.There was very little blood at thebody, and the only thing connectedin anyway with the killing was her \u25a0hat which was found abotit 111) feetfrom the body. This led officers to be-

liive that the body was carried fromth< little path down the railroad af-ter the murder was committed some-place else.

Late yesterday afternoon, the body

I awaited burial arrangements, thejcounty refusing to dispose of it andiciatives claiming they were to |WM»V

I to bury the body. However, this morii-

I ing a cheap coffin was purchased froma firm in Jamesville, and interment

j was made this afternoon. Her body

met with almpst the same fate asj that of John Henry Boston, a relative,who froze to death in the big snow

| last March. His body was placed in a

barn to await burial after it had beeni refused admittance into the homes of

| realtives -of the old man. The mur-dered woman's body lay in state on

| the back porch of a vacant house lastnight near the scene of the murder,

j The .murdered woman lived here a

' short while about six years ago, but' since that time she has been staying

I it her home in the Freen Union sec-

j tion and in Plymouth. Her character! was questionable, and when she visit-j ed the Moore home Sunday afternoon

she was two drinks from being drunk,I Several theories were advanced liy! people in that section explaining how|-mid why she was killed, but they were

of no value in leading to arrests.
