Given Sentence of Death.

The jury in the case of Viii Harris charged with, ouaraging and m ,rdering a little negro girl about 13 years of age, near the Estelle otton Mills about six months ago, late this afternoon returned a verdict of guilty and fixed the penalty at death. The crime was committed with in hundred yards of the western Him. its of the city. about o'clock in the morning. and great deal of indigna- tion was created at the time and the ne- groes talked of taking the law in their own hands for q time.
 The little girl was grabbed up in the arms of the ruffian, who carried her a couple of hundred yards down Valley Creek. where she was found about an hour afterwards. The little girl evident ly made a gallant defence of her life for the ground about where she was found showed evidences of desperate struggle.
 A cedar bush about the size of a mans wrist was used in braining the child, and as if ashamed of his brutal deed. he spread her apron over her face before he took his departure.
 Circumstantial evidence strongly point cd to Will Harris as the murderer. He was seen by an old negro to grab the little girl and take her out into the bushes He went down the river as he says, to get a skin. but he came back late In the afternoon and by land. snd asked some little girl" On being answered in the negative he came to the city and was captured by several negroes. Tn few minutes several hundred cofored men and women had arrived and they were clam orous to hang Harris.
 Just at the critical moment Sheriff Blackwell arrived and he told them that he would have to put the man in jail. The father of the little girl trotted along beside Sheriff Blackwefls horse, the tcars streaming down his face. and begged the officers to turn Harris over to them, that they might kill him. But MT, Blackwell was firm and told the negroes chat he was an officer of the law and would have to put the man In jail as was his sworn duty.
 The crowd of sev.ra! hundred negroes, much to their credit De 1t said. submit ted quietly to what Mir. Blackwell did and accompanied him to jail and saw will Harris put behind the bars.

Although determined to do so only as last resort, the secretary of the treasury has finally been compelled to resort to the purchase of bonds as a means to relieve the money stringency which is now claimed to be general. The bonds which are now being pur- chased are not due until 1925 and the treasury is paying at the rate of $l.37i to induce the holders to part with them. It is anticipated that sufficient bonds will be cashed ct this figure to draw out of the treasury s25, 900, 900.

The members of the Mormon church are to be congratulated upon their evil dent intention to cast their ballots at the coming election only after diligent and intelligent investigation. Note worthy illustrations of this tendency are Bishop Asa w. Judd and Mir. J. s. Emmet, who during their recent visits have each spent several days in making the personal acquaintance of the several local candidates and in- vestigating their respective fitness for the offices to which they aspire. As the cigars and drinks, which are so commonly dispensed during political campaigns have been ignored by these gentlemen, candidates are in doubt as to the impression they have made and are likely to remain so until after the returns from Fredonia are received.
