Middle aged and old people and
those whose blood is contaminated and

the chief sufferers from chronic sores

an unhealthy, polluted condition heal

continue to grow and spread in spite of
washes and salves or any superficial or

the outward sign of some constitu-

Vance Spivey, Sentenced to Death
Cuts His Throat In Hall

Weldon, n. c., April S.-Vance
Splvey, the one-armed white man in
Halifax Jail under sentence of death.
committed suicide Tuesday evening
in his cell by cutting his throat with
a piece of steel taken from the shank
Of his shoe.
He was tried at the August term
term of Halifax Superior court for
killing Moore a fellow convict, who
had a bunk in the cell with Spivey
at the Caledonia State farm. Spivey
was convicted of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
court, which affirmed the judgment
of the lower court.
Governor Aycock has just issued a
warrant for Spivey's execution on
May 10th. When Spivey learned of
this yesterday he nerved himself for
a horrible death by suicide. He was
a very desperate character and many
people believed that he was insane;
others thought that he was naturally
and that he deserved the death
penalty.

SAD NEWS.
Huckleberry Pie Will Be Brief This
Summer.

Summer.
DEAR JOE ARGUs:-It has always
been very painful to me to be the
bearer of sad and distressing news,
and to witness the mental or physi-
cal suffering caused by such news;
and as you have always shown an
apparent willingness to do me a ia
vorwhen in your power and province
to do 50, l feel emboldened to ask
you to do me one more: Will you
please be kind enough to break the
news, as gently as possible, to our
mutual friend Col. A. G. Davis, that
the late frost and freeze has greatly
injured the huckleberry crop-the
BIG BLUES especially.
I get this Information from the
Turkey, n. G. Gazette; and it was
also confirmed in a conversation on
Wednesday with our clever friend
Col. w. L. Hill, of Warsaw. I don't
think that Col. Davis is subscriber
to the "Gazette," and he probably
has not heard the sad news.
Feeling distressed, a. I do, over
the misfortune, I fear I would not be
able to control my feelings sufficient
ly to break the news to Col. Davis as
calmly and gently as it should be
done, hence I delegate the delicate
task to you. Sadly yours,
j. M. H.

A GREAT WHEAT CROP.

Reports from Kansas and Oklaho-
ma Indicate that the crops of 1903 in
those states are to be ever larger than
the great yields of 1902. It is rather
early to write down figures, but crop
experts who have studied the situa-
ton in the states of Kansas and Ne
braska, and in the territory of Okla
homa, do not hesitate to say that the
yield of Oklahoma will be 40, 900, 900
bushels, of Nebraska 60, 600, 900 bush
els, and of Kansas 100, 900, 900 bush
els. These estimates are based on
the condition of the soil and of the
standing wheat. The soil is full Of
moisture, and the growing plants are
in fine condition.
On May 10 the department of agri-
culture at Washington will issue an
estimate of the winter wheat crop.
and this is awaited with considerable
interest, for after that time the win
ter wheat crop is beyond danger of
serious harm. The spring wheat
crop may be injured by dry weather
and hot Winds in the summer
months, az may the corn crop, but if
the winter wheat crop is full of
promise on May 10 there will be a
big crop Of it.
The Chicago Tribune declares that
crop conditions ''could not we'll be
improved" and it does not hesitate
to say that the average condition of
winter wheat is 95, and that there
will be a crop of 400, 900, 600 bushels.
This would be a record-breaking
crop. The crops in France, Germany
and other European countries are
not looking very good, and whatever
crop the United States may have will
be needed in some part of the world.

Columbia, S. c., April Same
III. Tillman was not arraigned to
day. Before this point in the pro
ceedings was reached an application
was made for a continuance and was
granted out of hand by Judge
Klugh. The defense seemed to have
evidence last night that this would
be the result of their application.
The continuance was asked on the
ground Of sickness of one of the wit
nesses, J. NJ. White, who is par-
TALLY p~aralyzed, and the absence
from the State Of Julia Roper, a
trained nurse and near relative of
TilIman.
Whites affidavit was that a man
said to be n. G.. Gonzales, but un-
known to him, remarked to him two
days before the shooting that he had
made TilIman show the white
feather and would do SO again.
Miss Roper's affidavit is that,
while in her official capacity of
trained nurse and administering at
the death bed of Mr.. Gonzales uncle
last June, she heard Mr.. Gonzales
tell his uncle that he would make
Tillman show the white feather.
Miss Roper has been absent from the !
State, out of the way of process of
summons as a witness. No effort |
was made to secure her attendance.
The judge did not inquire if the
witnesses could be expected at the
next term. White is a paralytic.
The prosecution offered to admit all
that the absent witnesses had sworn
to. The defense said both wished
to give new evidence; that Miss
Roper had told her relatives she had
some new evidence. The contin-
uance was then granted.
The proceedings and arguments
lasted a considerable time this morn
ing and the court room was crowded
with Interested spectators. The
prisoner was brought up from the
Jail in a closed carriage by Sheriff
Coleman, and came into court &C
companied by his uncle, Senator
Tillman. The two seated themsel-
yes just back of the Solicitor. The
prisoner looked cool and unconcern-
ed, but the effect of three months
confinement could be seen. l.
