HIS RECORD CLEARED.
OLD SWEETHEART SAVES SOLD
Ter BETRAYED BY BIS WIFE.
Shooting ARRAY Of Three Years Stand
ing Led to Sensational Incident in
New England.

The remarkable story Of William
Howard, who was betrayed into tht
arms OF the law by his wife, ane
then saved from imprisonment by the
testimony of a woman he had loved
but given up, is still the sensation Of
Southern New England. The ordi.
nary quiet city of New Bedford
Mass, was the center of the sensation
which occurred three yeals ago. The
fatal shot was fred at Hazelwood
park on the evening Of July IL,
1905. The persistent work of the
New Bedford police failed to clear
the mystery. whicn surrounded the
death Of Edward Dswhurst. CleW
after clew was taken up and aban-
doned. In July, 1908, few days
after the anniversary Of the shoot
ing, his bride Of ten months betrayed
Howard to the police, Charging him
with the killing OF Dewhurst- Her
story was a sensation.
The betrayal came as the result OF
series of complications IN Howard S
life. It appears that on the night
Of the shooting the soldier was
waking through Hazelwood park
with a Miss Grace Strutevant- They
were assaulted by Dewhurst, who
was not known to either. Howard
shot him in self-defense and he ano
Miss Sturtevant vowed never to tell
the secret. Suspicion was never
directed to them Then Toward
married another woman. He felt 1t
q duty to keep in touch with his
former sweetheart that she might
not change her mind, as his narri-
age was being kept secret. His Wlte
became jealous. Howard then con-
fessed the killing to her and gave
this as his reason for paying atten-
ton to the former sweetheart. Lat
er the wife came to the conclusion
that the devotion was too real. Then
came her confession to the police.
Since the trial the ccouple have been
living apart. /
Howard was arretsed, charged
with manslaughter and tried on the
statement Of his wife of an alleged
confession. At the hearing Miss
sturteyant testified she had been
with Howard on the night OF the
shooting. they were walking to-
gether when man stepped in front
of them and pointed a revolver into
Eowardasz face. He in turn pulled
his revolver and fred Just IN time

girl kept her pledge. Howard is now
serving a term Of re-enroliment at

Young Woman Commits Suicide in
New York Police Station.


Possibly acting on the suggestion
contained in magazine story which
she had just read, young woman
awaiting trial on charge of shop
lifting committed suicide in her cell
in the Jefferson Market prison New
York Friday night by hanging her
self to the transom of the door with
a rope taken from the prison cot
The name given by the woman at
the time of her arrest was Marion
Desmond, but it is believed this is
assumed. Another theory advanced
in explanation of the woman's act
is that it was brought about through
fear of her identity being discovered
at the trial.

last you would not hear the dreaded
call and curse of the boss.
Country life may not be and prob
ably is not what many would like to
color it; but, all things being equal,
it is far preferable to city life. That
is just where it comes in. City life
is never compared with country life
on an equal plane. Remember that
if you must work in the country for
a living you will have to work in the
city for one, too, and if you possess
the ability in yourself to rise above
the ordinary workman in the city
that same ability will carve out a
home for you in the country. Look
before you leap, consider all things,
and if you are sure you can better
yourself in the city go; if not, stay
on the old farm.-Grifin News.

Cotton receipts yesterday were 260
bales at cents. On the same date
last year 80 bales at 10 IL cents were
sold on the local market. Boys,
shove in your cotton and help the
poor downtrodden Spectator! The
men who are warehousing their cot
ton will sell it for more than 9 cents,
and don't you forget it.
Those early sellers simply turn the
guns over to the spectators. It is
the men who control the crop who
practically make the price.
It appears that some Of our farm
ers are afraid the poor speculator will
suffer, and they continue to drive
their cotton in and ask the boss what
he will give. We saw lot Of that
kind this week.
Union members, hold your cotton
and you will get the price set by the
union! Let the other fellow go on,
sell, get it in the neck, by the specu-
lator, as he has been doing-the poor
Spectator won't make more than
from $500 to $4,000 a bale for his
hard labor. But you hold on.
The producer who has sold his cot
ton early this year will soon discover
that the speculation will make more
on it than he has done.
Mark that, you farmers who are
driving in daily and begging the
speculator to take your cotton at 9
cents per pound. The Speculation is
laughing in his sleeve at how he is
getting his next years rations out of
your cotton.-People's Paper, Char
lotte, N. C..

GOVERNMENT MONEY DEMAND.
The United States Monetary League
Announces the Remedy, or
the Just Way.

We hereby voice the demand of
the people for plain simple equal
justice to all; that Congress create
money as authorized by the Consti-
tuition and validated by the Supreme
Court-gold, silver and greenbacks
or reasury notes, every dollar equal
and a full legal tender for debt, and
that money so created shall be paid
into circulation for government obi
cations and without the intervention
of banks, leaving banks to do bust
ness on their own money, in the same
manner as others do.

No one can deny that the highest
prerogative of government is to
create money. That power the peo-
pie through the constitution dele
gated to Congress. They gave no au-
thority for a transfer Of that power,
They gave no authority to loan that
money. They gave no authority to
create fraudulent or imitation money.
The power to create certainly carries
with it the power to disburse, pay
out for the debt of the government.
And the government which cannot
put that money into use and circula-
ton among its people, without ia
voritism or special privileges to any
one, is indeed weak and vascilating,
unworthy the respect or confidence of
its citizens. Such has long been the
condition of our unfortunate coun-
try. Let us all join to remedy this
greatest evil. Address with stamp
