IN MEMORIAM.

In memory of Ella Vail, wife OF
Silas S. Rose, who died at her
home at Society Hill, S. c., Dec.
IL, after an illness of only few
days, aged 90 years.
Mrs. Rose was the daughter OF
Mr.. Henry Vail, of Pikeville, N.
c., and was married on Feb. 27.
1901. and went to Society Hill to
make her home, among strangers,
where she, in such a short time,
left all friends. For she had
always bright and sunny dis.
position that has carried her safe
through this life to find fina,
rest above.
Why such noble young life
as hers. SO full of plans for COM
ing years, and one so dear to US,
should be cut off IN it's youth, is
a mystery to US now, but ''Up
There. sometime we'll undera
stand" But perhaps she was too
pure for this ungodly world, and
hence has ''crossed the river"
To know her was to love her,
and those who knew her best
loved her most, for she was one
Of natures noblest and best wo-
men:
She grew up in full faith of the
M. E. church, of which she was
consistent member, and died in
the life she had led.
The body was accompanied by
her grief--stricken young hus-
band and aged father and mother,
who we're with her in her last
hours, to her fathers house, on
Saturday Dec. Il, and conveyed
from there to Salem M. e..
church, where the funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Benson.
The bcdy was laid to rest in a
bed OF flowers in Salem Cemetery.
in the presence of a host Of rela-
tivas and friends.
Let US Try dear husband, rela.
tives and friends, to not mourn
our loss, which is Heavens gain.
Let US comfort our sad hearts
with her dying words, "It's all
for the best, we don't under-
stand, but God does"

EMPTY BOTTLE FOUND.
Was This Bottle Dropped on
River Bank by Wilcox?

1OltOI Uy Wv ACOAs
Elizabeth City, N. c., Dec. 3d.
prosecutor Ward said to-day:
"You can state that there will be
enough evidence before the grand
jury next March to secure an
Indictment This is hard case,
but no stone will be left un.
turned. There is some very
damaging testimony which l be-
lieve would insure his cunvic-
ton, but there is doubt as to It's
adnissibility."
The latest new evidence is an
empty whiskey bottle found near
the river bank in front Of the
CropseJ home. A local saloon
mau has identified the bottle as
haYing been sold by him, and
declares that or one like it was
gotten by Wilcox.
The strongest alleged evidence
against Wilcox is that he was
seen struggling with Miss Crop
sey in front of her home in an
effort to drag her to the river. It
is also claimed that Wilcox can
not account for all his time that
night nor why he chose an uns
usual route to reach home. A
part of the Citizens Committee
believes it has a strong States
case.
A soldier says that when Wi
cox's sister visited the Jail the
prisoner said it was no place for
her, and on her asking what she
might do for him, she was told
to bring quart Of whiskey.
The confinement is already
telling on Wilcox and it is bes
lieved his stoicism will vanish
before the trial next spring.
Lawyer Aydlett says Wilcox may
make another public statement
soon. He says many untrue re-
ports have been circulated
against his client.
There are some Elizabeth City
people who believe the Wilcox
family is now a more fitting OBJ
ject Of sympathy than the Crop
seys. Lawyer Cropsey on the
funeral train discussed the case
freely.
AS to Wilcox's alleged struggle
with Miss Cropsey, the CORES
pondent of the New York Jour
nal says:
"Another witness who may be
called upon to testify is &. F.
Parker. He told his wife the
night after Miss Cropsey disap.
peared that he had seen Wilcox
dragging girl across the road
in front Of the Cropsey bone. Il
is said he now denies this. The
committee will examine him IN
| this point soon"
