JOHN HARDY
TO HANG FRIDAY, FoURTll OF
JANUARY.

Roanoke. Va. Nov 2O.-John
Hardy. the negro murderer of Police
man r. NJ. Beard, was sentenced by
Judge Woods in the Hastings Court
this morning to hang on the Attn of
January between the hours OF s. a.
m. and p. m.
Hardy was brought into court
shortly after II was called to order
and after being seated was asked TO
stand up. He was then asked IL he
had anything to say why the sen
tence of the court should not be pas
sed upon him. To this he made no
reply. Judge Woods then proceeded
To pass the sentence
In doing so Judge Woods said that
he had no moral address TO make but
that he would give him time to make
any arrangements he could to take
the case to the supreme court If he so
desired The sentence required only
a few moments.
Hardy is apparently resigned to his
fate and il is not thought that he
will make any effort to take the case
to higher court and IL is not thought
that il would result differently should
he take IL up. After he had been
taken back to his cell i'm the Jail he
sent word to Sergeant Griffin to get
him n pipe and package of tobacco
as he wanted to smoke. This was
sent him by the sergeant and John
will spend the few remaining days
ne has 10 live in the enjoyment of
such pleasures as he can get ont OF
life.
He claims that he has made peace
with his God and does not fear for
the future life to come There Is
little doubt but that he will be exc
.cuted on the date set

HOUSEHOLD Elk
PENSES INCREASE

Harper's Bazaar has been publishing
during the last summer and autumn
an exceedingly interesting and prac-
teal symposium i'm which Bazaar rea-
ders tell how they are meeting the
increased expense of living i'm cases
where there is no corresponding in
crease. The following instance. from
the December Bazaar. is n typical one:
The expense of living has increased /:
our income has not. This increase has
been met by us i'm the following ways
We give almost $25 less to the church
and the various benevolences than we
used TO. Formerly We spent about
$25 a year for magazines and books.
To-day We scarcely spend IS, depend
ing upon the library. for nearly all
our reading. We save certainly $25
by doing less entertaining than for
merly.
II have saved about $50 by keeping
a maid only half the year. where for
merly as we kept one all the time. /
have her during the summer and fall.
When ! do not wish TO be i'm the hot
Kitchen and do want TO be out OF
doors We save perhaps SIS a year
by not going to so many entertain
ments and concerts indeed, we
have cut these out almost entirely.
We simply cannot afford them.
I'VE spend some $40 less for vaca-
tion and travel. save perhaps $25
year by making ovei my own,
clothes and others which friends give
me for children where. formerly we
were accustomed to buy them ready
made. 1t means lots OF work, but
ii is much cheaper and the clothes
wear better.
This accounts for about 1915 of
the $245 that must be saved on ac-
count of the increased cost of living
The other $50 is money that we do
not save Where formerly we tried
to put away $50 to 500 for a rainy
day and for-old age. now the best that
VIC can do is to save $50"

THE DEEPEST
MINING SHAFTS

1T is probably a fact not gene
rally known" says the Bulletin Of
the American Iron and steel Asso-
citation, that the Michigan copper
country possesses the worlds three
deepest vertical mining shafts. The
deepest of these is the No. at the
North Tamarack property, its meas
urement being $500 feet-80 less
than a mile. TO the south. at a dis
lance OF 1000 feet, is the No 5 shaft
Of the same company This ranks as
the second deepest vertical shaft on
the globe. its measurement being
1850 from the collar to the bottom
of the level. Second only to these
great openings is the Red Jacket
shaft Of the Calumet and Hecla com
pany, which is down 1900 feet, and
in which the copper lode was not
encountered until depth Of 1900
feet had been attained The deepest
incline shaft i'm the world is the No
of the Calumet and Hecla. This
shaft itself, from the collar TO the
lowest level IS sunk on the plane of
the lode for q distance Of 500 feet.
while from a drift at the bottom a
winze extends downward 100 feet to
the boundary Of the property, giving
o measurement Of $500 feet from the
surface No. shaft passes by the
Red Jacket shaft at the seth level"

THE VOTERS
RESPONSIBLE

II tho voters had half the public
spirit they boast and believe they
have as American citizens, IL would
not be necessary TO spend ono-quarter
ass much money Co get out the vote.
Further. it is the voters. not the can
didates, who ought TO bear the cam
paign expenses, all of them Candi-
dates ought not to be required TO pay
more than their proportion. As II
Is. the voters are educated to stand
idly by and let the candidates foot
the bills, except that small proper
ton OF the people do help out Hut
the candidates pay most, aud there is
urgent need of reform IN this respect.
The burden should be ON the other
