REMARKABLE COURT ACTION
Governor Investigates Proc eedings in
 tho Valdez Murder Case.

A double murder which. so far as known, was one of the most cold blooded assassinations in the history of Arizona, led to such an extraordinary action on the part of justice of the peace in santa Cruz county, that the governor of tho territory felt called upon to look into the matter. It was the Hardshell mine, near Harshaw. with little or no provocation, by Fran cisco Valdez, who boasts of a real or imaginary criminal record, and revels in the knowledge that his companion in Mexico has a record of killing some thing like 9. score of men. The remark able feature of the tragedy was the af- termath, in which the murderer's bonds were fixed by a justice of the peace at at that time. his brother having died since. The manslayer was unable to furnish the bond and was placed in the custody of the sheriff. The bond of Sl, 900, doubtless was as formidable an obstacle to the liberty of Valdez as mill lion dollar bond would have been, and the justice of the peace no doubt took that into consideration when he named the sum. The news of the pro- ceed!ngs. when sent abroad, however, was regarded as most extraordinary, because the law does not intend to pro- vide liberty for deliberate murderers at any price.
 Governor Murphy wired to the
Arizona republican., 1901-04-29

sheriff of Santa Cruz county for particulars and received a dis patch stating that Valdez was safely held in the county jail and that partic- ulars would arrive hy mail. The gov ernor sinte has received the particu- lars and assurance from the sheriff that at no time was. there danger of the prisoner eludng tho law, notwithstand-
 nG the unprecedented proceeding of the Justice of the peace. One thousand dol- lars was ns formidable as mountain. Besides, the second victim has died, anl in case the prisoner should avail him self of a temporary freedom by furnish ing the amount os the bond, he would be rearrested by the authorities. on the new charge of having murdered the other brother.

CHANCE FOR SUGAR PLANT
Mass Meeting to Talk Over Plans

The gentlemen of the committee from the board of trade, who have In hand the arrangements for the mass meet ing. tomorrow night. for the discussion of the plans for beet sugar plant, state that great enthusiasm has been aroused among men who are in pos session of full particulars of the plans, It Is an impossibility. however. to sec every persoR who should support the project and 1t Is for that purpose the meeting at 0Neill hall will be held at 8 o'clock, Tuesday evening. The com- mittee ep1laests that every man who has ang Interest in the welfare of this valley. att,e@d the meeting.
 Ali afgFtM3 Arizona, beet sugar plants are being established, and in each instance proving rich bonanzas for their respective communities. In New Mexico, Colorado and California there are several plants In full and prosperous operation. A dispatch from Chicago. says:
 Negotiations have been completed here for the formation of the largest beet sugar concern in the world. The company has been incorporated under the laws of New Jersey, with a capi- tai stock of s6.0o0,OO0. to be known as the Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet X IT, rigation Land company. The plant of the new company is to be located In Powers county, Colorado, in the ia. nous Rocky Ford fruit district.
 Experiments in that district conduct ed by James A. Davis, industrial com missioner of the Santa F'e railroad, have demonstrated the fertility of tn" soil and adaptability for the raising of sugar beets. As the result of success full experiments and operations, d number of New York capitalists, in- cluding the Oxnards, Cuttings. Hamil- tons. Lawsons and Guy Richards of the Mercantile Trust company. became interested in the industry. and the formation of new company was un- dertaken."
 It is well known fact that the soil of the Rocky Ford fruit district is in many ways identical with the soil of this valley. There the famous Rocky Ford melon is raised. Here the seed from the same melon make better fruit. There the strawberry was believed to attain It's largest size and best flavor. Here the same berry outrivaled the fruit from it's native heath.

A SUGGESTION TO FARMERS.

Wintervllle, N. c., April 8, 1901
Owing to the extreme scarcity Of
labor we would advise all farmers to
arrange their tobacco rows so every
eighth row will be five feet wide, and
by so doing you can use tobacco
truck and thus house your tobacco
with much less labor and cost. There
we're some trucks used in certain Sec
tions last season for housing tobacco,
and we find In every section where the
truck was used there will be a great de-
mard for them this season, and orders
Tor several hundred trucks have already
teen placed and many more will
doubtless come in yet. 1t you will lay
out your rows as stated above it will
take no extra manure and but little
more land, and if you do not use the
truck you can tote your tobacco along
the wide row much better, and if you
are scarce Of help you can use true.
We are going to be headquarters fos
tobacco trucks OF best style.

MARTIN GETS TEN YEARS.

Major w. H. Martin, the defaulting
clerk in the Treasurer's Office under
Treasurer Worth, was sentenced In
Raleigh last week by Judge Starbuck.
Martin had confessed the embezzle-
ment OF a considerable amount OF
money, but Investigations prove that
he has taken perhaps ten thousand
dollars.
The Morning Post said:
In passing sentence upon the prison
or Judge Starbuck said there was some
doubt as to whether he was State
officer or not and the court would give
him the benefit of the doubt by pro
nouncing sentence for ten years, the
minimum for ordinary ENLIGHTENMENT
instead of twenty years, the least pun.
ishment which could be imposed upon
state officer guilty of such an Ofense
In speaking of the matter before
Maj. Martin was brought into court
the judge said:
IL shall not hold the case of Major
Martin open for longer consideration
and will pronounce sentence now
Since there seems to bo some doub
about this coming under the law re
| garding the embezzlement OF State
funds by an officer, shall give hin
the benefit of that doubt because ade
quate punishment can be inflicted unde
the other section. The circumstance

sentence of ten years."

HURRAH FOR NORTHAMPTON

HURRAH FOR NORTHAMPTON
So lar as we now remember we have
never heard any thing detrimental to
Northampton county. Good impress
sions are almost always left upon ones
mind from talking with the citizens OF
our neighboring county, and good re-
ports generally come from Northamp-
ton.
However exalted our opinion OF the
good county in question, the following
from the Roanoke Chowan Times
makes it little better:
Northampton Jail is empty. The
March term of Criminal court lasted
less than three days and the two weeks
term OF Superior court which conven-
ed at Jackson last Monday, is likely to
end before thlc week is out our schools
were meyer better patropized the pss-
tors of our churches are preaching the
Gospel of love and pointing the people
to higher life, instead of having to
devote SO much time to denOuncing
wrong-doing. These, it appears to us,
are evidences of better times, and that
Northampton is good old county"

industries tor it's home town, and other
wise getting in the procession of prog
ress. Scotland Neck Is making good
showing, and we congratulate our
ne,ghbor on being associated with such
a live and progressive town. By the
way, every town in Halifax county is

Improvements. Not only Halifax, but
all the counties III this section are
waking up and making every effort to
secure new industries and m ore settlers

Our nelghbor is putting in good
clicks" for Enfield along the line OF

ry town in Halifax county Is picking
up and making satisfactory improve
ments.'
We believe this is true, and it is but
the contamination towards which The
COMMONWEALTH has been laborirg dill
gently and persistently for thirteen
years.
Halifax is truly county OF great re-
sources. A gentleman now residing in
Scotland Neck, but who has been here
less than half year, speaking for this
immediate section, said few days age
that this is indeed a most delightful
place to live and fine and favored sec

BIG PEANUT DEAL.

Norfolk Virginian- Pilot.
For several days past there have
been heavy deals in Spanish peanuts
and many contracts with growers have
been signed by Mr.. Oliver a. Sledge'
VICE president and general manager OF
the Columbian Peanut Company, OF
Norfolk, that has factories at Norfolk,
Suffolk, Petersburg and one or two
other points In the peanut section.
Mr.. Sledge has been operating very
quietly as, if farmers had known Of the
'arge quantity of nuts he needed, prices
would have quickly scared Up out OF all
reason. 1t is stated that Mr.. Sledge
needed about $4,000 worth OF Spanish
peanuts to meet the wants of the CAPT
talists that he represented.
A Virg,nian-Pilo reporter called On
Mr.. S!edge yesterday and found him
very reticent as to the details OF the
deal. as he stated that some Of his re-
cent purchases at Petersburg had been
inaccurately reported and he had not
paid the prices stated. Mr.. S!edge
stated, however, that he had completed
| his purchases, which were very heavy,
! and his clients were in a position to
carry out their plans. Mr.. Sledge Sc
| cured these peanu is at about II cents
per bushel.
He stated that but for this big order
Virginia growers of Spanish peanuts
would have been heavy losers, as the
crop is large and the usual demand for
Spanish peanuts is limited.
When asked who his clients were
and where this enormous amount OF
Spanish peanuts will be shipped Mr..
Sledge declined to answer. He also
refused to say anything in regard to
the rumored unique method OF distrl-
button.
From an outside point it is rumored
that t,ese peanuts will be distributed
by 4 company of capitalists who haye
received a new device OF nickel-in-the-
slot machine for selling the peanuts
crop a nickel in the slot and get a
package of fine shelled Spanish peanuts.
Rumor states that these machines will
be placed in public places in the lead
Ing cities of the North, South, East
and West and that the projectors ex-
pect to reap big harvest on the
scheme.
J, If this plan is carried out it will be
great benefit for Virginia growers OF
Spanish peanuts, as it will tend to
, steadily increase the consumption and
], consequently the demand for the nuts
!, At present this variety is used mainly
by confectioaers, and the demand Is
limited. There is some foreign de.
, mand for peanuts, but this trade calls
for the larger varieties.
There is one unfailing source OF de.
, mand for peanuts, and that is the pea
nut oil mills, of which there are several
in the United States. These will take
! any quantity, but only at their OWL
, fixed prices. The factories press out
, thu oil and convert the residue into
, peanut flour and OIL cake. As stated
this method of distribution could no
be verified as Mr.. Sledge, the only per
son in Norfolk probably who knows the
details of the contract, declined to tall
on the subject.

der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Ro0t is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
