A Boy Murderer,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-THE body
of 5-year-old Percy Lockyar, who is
believed to haye been murdered on
Friday night by 15-year-old Samuel
Henderson, has been found in tue
bottom of "Reddie'S" creek, Sixtieth
and Catherine streets, and there
seems little doubts in the minds OF
the police that young Henderson Is
guilty of the crime. He is locked VI
in cell at police headquarters.
The body of the child, when found
was weighted by two heavy stones,
one at the neck and the other around
his ankles. His skull was crushed
in, and there was knife-thrust just
above the heart and some wounds on
his breast, side and forehead, while
on one side of his face WAS a long cut
extending from below the eye to the
chin.
From what the police have been
able 30 learn, the crime seems to have
been one of the most horrible char
acter, and if all its details are true 1t
stamps young Henderson as a degen'
crate of the worst type. He does not
seem to realize the enormity OF his
crime. After his arrest he admitted
a knowledge OF the knife-thrust, but
said it was due to the child accident
ally running against an open kpife.
Henderson became alarmed at this,
and said he threw the body into the
creek. Today, however, when shown
the mutilated body of the child, he
admitted that he was responsible for
those cuts as we'll, but he persists
that it was an accident.
The police, however, believe that he
planned the mul der, and that he also
proposed ending the life Of another
small boy, Willie Addison, aged I
years. Henderson, 1T is claimed, mas
been reading trashy novels, and has
shown a Idesire to emulate the he
roes" of these tales. The police as,
sert that Henderson accompanied
Lockyar and Addison to the woods, as
he has told, but, instead of any accl-
dent happening to either, Henderson
tied both children to tree, ADDISON
broke 'away and ran home. 1t was
then, it is said, that the Lockyar boys
death was accomplished.
DR.. Morton, the coronor'S physician
who examined the thrust above the
heart, said that it caused the death
of the boy. The police searched for
The body during all of last night, and
it was not until after daylight that it
was found. Henderson will be given
a hearing tomorrow.
A fact that has come out in con-
nection with Henderson's crime is
that his father, John d, Henderson
was on trial in October, 1892, charged
with killing a man named Mason.
The killing was the outcome OF a
quarrel. Henderson was arratgned
and pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
He was remanded for sentence,
but later it was shown that the
death was largely accidental, and there
was no murderOus intent. He was
admitted to bail, and is now "a free
man.

Nothing demoralizes the health
sooner or more completely than even
the occasional loss of sleep. To start
new day with the brain unrefreshed
is like trying to keep worn-out
horse up to his work with the whip
instead of by feeding. Tine inces.
SAINT brain activity is as if the skull
were laid bare and the surface of the
brain were struck lightly every few
seconds and without a sign of a "let
up"
Thus sleeplessness imperceptibly,
but no less surely, destroys the brain
cells that are the sources of mental
power and the health of every organ
Of the body.
Paines celery compound gets the
nervous system out of this dangerous
rut of sleeplessness. 1t supplies
nourishment to the nervous tissues
faster than they are worn out, and
does not let the nutrition of these
delicate parts get low enough to
bring on insomnia.
One of the earliest evidences of the
final success o. Paine's celery COM
pound in curing debility, nervousness,
sleeplessness and arrangements of
liver and kidneys is the increased ap-
petite, the clearer skin, and that in
describable precursor Of health, a
feeling of "well being" that takes
the place of the tired, languid, mel
ancholy condition.

The Late Mrs. J. II. Fuller,

A correspondent writing from Kit
trell to the NeWs and Observer SAYS
this of the late Mrs. j. H. Fuller,
whose death on the 3rd inst, was
noted in these columns last week:
Mrs. Virginia Fuller, wife OF Capt. ]
II. Fuller, died at her residence in Kit
trell last night. Mrs. Fuller was Miss
White, prominent family OF Eastern
Shore, Virginia, and u sister of Dr.
Isaiah White, distinguished physician
of Richmond. Mrs. Fuller was we'll and
favorably known in Raleigh, her hus-
band, the captain, having till recently
been for five years in charge of the SOL
diers home.
1t has never been our sad duty to
chronicle the death of more estimable
woman than this. 1t is such that has
shed upon Southern womanhood the
imperishable lustre it wears. Born to
affluence, reduced by the losses of the
war to move in an humber sphere than
was her birthright, she repined not, but
met the duties OF life sertnely, bravey,
uncomplainingly, and the world is bright.

ton, making her the ideal daughter,
wife, mother and neighbor. Excepting
the time spent in Raleigh, she has been
in our midst for five and twenty years,
and had long won and held warm place
in the hearts of our people.
Mrs. Fuller was an earnest Christian,
having for many years been a member
OF the Methodist church.
She met death with q calmness and
resignation, the bright shores of eternity
being to her as real as the earth on
which she stood.

They Keep Everlastingly at 1t.

1t costs the Royal Baking Powder
company something like 100000
annually for advertising. Some one
once suggested to the company that
it discontinue advertising one year,
the baking powder was SO we'll known
and advertised, and so place that
amount, $500, 900, in the profits. The
answer was that it would undoubted-
ly cost the company three times that
amount tc get the product in its
original channels again. This is a
pretty good pointer to those bust

1t is hardly necessary to direct the

their business either as warehouse
men or leaf dealers and are prepared
to give their patrons the very best
service and highest satisfaction.
They have abundance of capital and
the farmers know what this means to
warehouseman-and to them.
The new crop is coming in lively
with an active demand for all grades.
The market starts off well and deal
ers are in good spirits. They hold
large orders, having disposed of most
of their old stock; altogether the out
look is encouraging and if Henderson
does not surpass all former records
in the number of pounds of tobacco
sold and the amount of money paid
TO farmers this season it will be due
to no lack of effort on the part of
Harris, Gooch & Co.
Mr.. r. r. Satterwhite, the well

will start in the first of October and
his familiar voice will again be heard

he is very popular, will welcome him

and thoughtful consideration Of those
persons who have habit of going
Cor sending) from home to do their
shopping-or.any part of it:
The home merchant is the man
who gives you credit when you have
no cash to buy the necessaries of life.
The home merchant is the man who
helps you to pay the taxes that run
your schools and pave your streets.
The home merchant is the man to
whom you appeal in times of dis
tress for favors. Then why should
you ignore him when you desire to
make purchase? He sells as good
goods at as low figures as the man
who does business in the big city.

jenkins is the Man.

Il. L. Garrett, Vance's candidate
for the Populist Congressional nomi-
nation, got "snowed UNDER along
with Congress mar StrOwd and others
last week. The plum went to j. j.
jenkins, of Chatham, his nomina-
ton being dictated by Republican
influence. The affair was evidently
cut and dried although jenkins was
apparently brought in as a dark
horse. If it had not been fixed up
beforehand how did prominent Re-
publican office holder know before
Jenkins name had been heard in the
convention that he would be the
man?
From the Raleigh Posts account of
the convention proceedings we take
the following paragraphs as being of
local interest:
Rowland, PlummeD of Vance,
made eulogistic speech for Z. T.
Garrett, of Vance, before placing him
in nomination. He declared that he
made the first Populist speech in the
district and stated that he had al
ways been honored in the party coun-
ellis.
jenkins, W. H. of Vance, second
ed the nomination of Garrett. '.Back
in the woods and among the poor
people he is recognized as leader.
He is laboring man and a black
smith, but would do nothing that is
not right
Satterwhite, Is. g. of Vance,
seconded the nomination of lack L.
Garrett. He said: lack Garrett is
the daddy of Populism. He can't
live always on dry honors. He is the
father of fusion in North Carolina
We demand something more sub
stantial for him than empty honors.
We demand and the State demands
the nomination of lack L. Garrett so
that our days may be long in North
Carolina"
