Ono Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars
Earned.

The average man does lot save to OK

must spend nine dollars in living ex-
penses for every dollar saved. That be-

about unnecessary expenses. Very often
a few cents properly invested, like buy
ing seeds for his garden, will save seve.

same in buying Chamborlain's Collie,

The Death Of Secretary Hay.

Newoury, N. H., July John Hay,
Secretary of State, died at his home near
Lake Sunapee this morning. The end
came suddenly and unexpectedly. The
secretary passed a comfortable day and
when DR.. Scudder called he found the
patient much improved ali symptoms
being favorable. His condition was SO
satisfactory that at 10 o'clock the doctor
and the entire household retired for the
night with tho exception of the nurse,
who remained in the sick chamber.
At | O'Clock the nurse looked at the
patient and he was resting quietly. At
midnight she noticed serious change
for the worse, and in few minutes he
was dead.
Secretary Hay, born in 1888. has spent
nearly all the years since his majority in
the service of his country. He was as
sistant secretary to President Lincoln in
1861, and served several months in the
Civil War. From 1865 to 1867 he was
secretary of legation at Paris. Later he
became charge d'affaires at Vienna, leav-

Gently returned from trip abroad.
Mr.. Hay was one of the leading worlds
diplomats, and some of the most impor-

name. He was an authority on interna.
t'onal law and an author of dignity and
originality. In collaboration with Nico-
lay he wrote strong life of Lincoln,
and in his earlier days turned out dialect
sketches and poems which we're very
popular. He was deeply educated,

Tho petitions asking the County Super
visor to order special election on the
dispensary question were started on their
rounds over the county yesterday. We
learn this morning that about nine out
of ten of the voters so far approached
are favorable to having the question set
tied by direct vote of the people, and
petitions are said to be receiving the sig
natures of about 80 per cent of the regis
tered voters. The work is being donc
systematically, the promoters having
copied the registration books for their
guidance. 1t is we'll to have the matter
definitely settled by the voice of the peo-
pie by ballot, and it is generally believed
that oconee will vote out the dispensary
by heavy majority. The exact date on
which the Supervisor will be asked to
order the election has not. 80 far as we
have learned, been decided upon.

WALHALLA, \. c.:
wEDNU OAY. JULY 5. 1905.
STILES MOO eETs Fourteen YEARS.

Tho trial of Stiles Moore, charged with
rape, was begun last Thursday, went to
the jury Friday afternoon. and verdict
was rendered at 7 30 Saturday morning.
The indictment charged () rape, (2)
criminal assault, (9 simple assault, (4)
violating female child under age of
fourteen. The jury found Moore guilty
on the fourth count of the indictment,
returning verdict of guilty with recon- :
mendation to mercy. This recommenda.
ton saved Moores neck, straight
verdict of guilty calling for capital pun
ishment. Judge Prince passed sentence
about 10 O'Clock Saturday morning,
giving Moore fourteen years in the State
Penitentiary at hard labor, this being
the maximum punishment under recon-
mendatiOn to mercy.
This trial in detail was one of the most
narrowing that has been before the
Courts of Oconee. Sallie Tilley, the
victim, is an orphan child, now less than
sixteen yeal@ Of age and the mother of
an infant born last April. She was
adopted by the Moores some years ago,
and was in their care up to a few months
ago, when she was sent to relatives in
Abbeville county, where the child was
born. The Moores claimed when she
was sent away that she was sick and suf-
fering from dropsy. After the birth of
the child, however. Sallie Tilley told of
her treatment at Moores hand, and this
led to thorough investigation by lead
ing citizens of West Union, where the
Moores lived. Then followed the arrest
of Stiles Moore about month ago when
sufficient evidence had been secured to
convict. He was arraigned in prelimi
nary trial before Magistrate A. p. Crisp,
who sent the case up for trial in the
Court of General Sessions. In the face of
direct testimony by George Moore, an
uncle of Stiles MoOre, that he had caught
the latter in criminal intercourse with the
child, Moore maintained his innocence to
over to the jury and as the jurors retired
from the court room, Moore requested
that some one pray for him.
No case has elected more interest than
this. To the untiriug effor is of Rev. G. d.
Mann and Jas. G.. Shockley, of West
Union, is due the thanks of the commu.
nifty for their work in the interest of hu.
manity and decency Since the birth of
the child by mere child-mot they,
with others, have spared no IL to as.
certain the facts fasten the X. where
it belonged and punish the criminal.
Moore was taken to the penitentiary
Saturday afternoon to begin his term of
fourteen years Imprisonment. Alto
gether it was a case too horrible to n ore
than casually mention in public print,
and it is to be hoped that Oconee will be
spared repitition of such crime in the
future.
