20 years ago, going to Texas, in
which state he resided the great
er part of the time. He was a
skilled and successful newspaper
man, having started in that busi-
ness here during his young man.
hood, in the office of the old Lam
caster Review. 1t will be re-
membered that he spent a few
weeks in Lancaster his old home,
last summer.
AS characteristic of all his
tamily-parents, brothers and
sisters-Mr. Moore was man Of
exceptionally bright mind. 1t
was apparently no trouble for
him to readily master any kind
of problem, however intricate
and perpIexing He was also
possessed of generous, open
hearted nature, pleasing person
aIi'y and companionable DISPOSE
ton, all of which tended to win
f r him friends of all with whom
he came in contact OF splendid
physique and commanding pres
ence, his was a striking figure in
any crowd.
Mr.. Moore is survived bv his
mother, Mrs. N. Q. Moore, and

roe of Negroes for Killing
Young Furr, Who at One
Time Lived in Lancaster
County, with .his Brohter-
in-Law, j. Harvey Flynn.
Monroe special in Thursday g
Charlotte Observer: The jury
in the case of Sue Watts and
Charles Stratford brought in a
verdict of guilty of murder in
the second degree at 1920 to-
night after being out six hours.
The sentence of each is thirty
years in the State prison at hard
labor.
The trial of Sue Watts and
Charles Stafford, both colored
charged with the murder of Tho
mas Furr, white boy Is years
old, was begun in Superior Court
yesterday morning.
The body of young Furr was
found in field near the house
of Sue Watts early in the morn
ing of January 22nd last. He
had been shot through the heart,
and County Physician Stewart
testified that death must have
been instantaneous. Mrs. Sallie
Furr, mother of the deceased,
said that her son left home rid
ing mule about quarter of an
hour before sunset the evening
before. During the night the
mule returned without saddle or
bride, and later another mule
hitched to buggy, both the pro-
perry of Harvey Flynn, Tom
Furr's brother-in-law, was found
standing near Mr.. Flynn's barn.
There were blood stains on the
sides of the buggy and a pool Of
blood inside. Harvey Flynn
was awakened, and he and his
wife and Mrs. Furr went to Sue
Watts house, about quarter Of
mile away, the reason for their
going there being that the rider
less mule had returned from that
direction. Sue stated TO them
that she had rot seen Tom since
early in the ev ening. Mr.. Flynn
told Sue to co back over to
his house; at first she refused to
do this, but finally consented
and went with them and remain
ed there for about an hour when
she returned to her cabin. In the
meantime Mr.. Flynn notified
Ben White and Lee Medlin, two
colored men who live in the
neighbornood, thai Tom was
missing and he suggested that
they come to Monroe for blood
hounds to track the missing man.
The two colored men came to
Monroe but could not get the
bloodhounds ("mad dogs old
Lee Medlin called them when
he testified) and Medlin decided
to call at the house of Charles
Stratford and see if Tom had
been there, because, as he said
he knew Tom and Charles to be
very friendly. When the negroes
reached Charles house, they had
some difficulty In arousing him,
and when they told him OF Toms
disappearance and the suspicion
Of foul play he said, "Surely no,;
Tom was over here this evening
and went away all right. Other
witnesses testified that young
Furr had been at Stratford's
house early that evening, but re-
mained only short time. STRAIT

But of the $50, 900 sheep inspected
only 717e were found to be affected
with scab. These sheep were
practically all confined to Lake and
Malheur counties where the growers
were not as active in complying
with the provisions of the dipping
law as were their brother stockmen
in the remainder of the state.
At this time year ago there
were 284, 900 scabby sheep in the
state of Oregon. Consequently it
will be seen that scabbies has been
practically eradicated from the en-

by the federal people and the state
sheep authorities.

That the Elmore County Fair fer
1908 will be better than ever before
is an assured fact. The fair is
better o 'ganized and backed with
more capital and is being directed
by more and better men than at
any previous year. A guarantee
fund to defray all expenses has
been subscribed end committees in
all departments have been ap-
pointed and set to work to make
the coming fair success.
Last evening the board of direc-
tors on exhibits consisting of w.
c. Howic, Geo. P. Hall and ]. F..
Littooy met and talked over the
prospects tor the fair. They selected
several superintendents for the var
ious departments and made several
changes in the general conduct of
the fair. This year they will ar
range for extensive competition
among the boys and girls of Ell
more county and very suitable re-
wards will be offered for all classes
Of exhibits. 1t is earnestly desired
by the directors that the bows and
girls of the county will take hold
of the scheme and start their ex-
hiDits now. Liberal awards and
premiums will be awarded for the
best grains, grasses and fruit
planted and cultivated by the chill

directors feel will meet with hearty
approval and will be one of the
most interesting in the fair. Not
only will 1t encourage Young
Amcri to take an interest in
those things but ii will help to
cultivate better fruits and grains in
the county.
Aside from this feature the di-
rectors are planning to place re-
wards on exhibits that are found
in the county and that are of inter-
est to our farmers. Open awards
will be made covering any exhibit
that will be brought to the fair and
everyone given consideration that

fenced and licensed judge to place

will be made in the exhibit hail

that greater interest will be hown
