WitherspOon The state was represented

tion. After argument, the judge granted
bail i'm the sum of 81 600. So far bail has

no difficulty in getting the bond signed
by substantial men. Charles Williams was
murdered in the streets of Blacksburg on
the night Of Feb. 6, when he was supposed
TO be on his way to the home of Mrs. An

Reese's property to satisfy any judgment

The creates excitement prevails in Sum
ter county over the murder of a Mrs.
Weeks and her child, the coroner's jury
finding Jim Weeks, the husband and
father, the murderer. The Weeks lived
in a little field in the wilds of the county
and were in extremely poor circumstances.
The wife frequently met the train at the
nearest raj lroad station and sold peaches
and begged aims. Last fall the woman and
her little child suddenly disappeared and
nothing was heard of them. Weeks said
that they had gone to visit relatives.
Weeks finally moved from the place and
nothing more was thought of the matter
until last week when a negro plowed up
the body of a woman ian the same field.
1t had been buried in a hole but little be-
Mrs Weeks body. Weeks was imme-
diately arrested in Clarendon county and
was carried TO the scene to locate the body
of the child, whom he confessed he buried
also in the field. He declares they died
natural deaths, but that he was unable to
provide collins and kept the matter a
secret to keep his neighbors from knowing
his povertystricken condition. A true bill
for murder has been found and he will be
tried accordingly.

From the New York Times.

"Until recently l never appreciated fully
the value of a cent" a talkative individual
remarked, as he replaced a cent that had
fallen from his pocket to the floor of the
car. '"The difference of a cent in the bids
for the $lGG,O00000 of government bonds
was $4,000 l didn't buck against Morgan
for the whole lot, because j couldn't raise
the difference. At about that time 1 had
a controversy in regard to interest with
the secretary of a trust company that car
ries one of my small accounts. After my
pass book had been balanced l noticed that
interest to the amount of $3.50 had been
allowed. 1t seemed to me that 1t might
have been $l4. and worked at the figures
should have been $13 99l5, but the company
got the benefit of the half cent, and I
couldn't induce the secretary to transfer
it to my account. l thought afterward
that if a company that has capital of ST.
600, 600 and surplus of $500, 600 can figure on
half cents. ! ought to be careful with
cents" Nhf
