pass over to them:
"Owlng to many complaints re-

a well-organized gang of crooks,
operating all over the country, is
engaged IN the passing of notes
of defunct State banks upon the
careless and ignorant. Evident
ly a vast quantity of these notes
have been secured by the sharpers
They are just as good in workman
ship as real government money
and some of the notes bear a close
resemblance of Uncle Sans cur

passed by the sharpers are those
of the State Bank of New Bruins

existance for forty years, and the
defunct State Bank of Savannah,

been made in an effort to stop this

The Spencer Water Works.

There appears to be a reason
able probability that before long
Spencer will own the water works
system in operation at that place.
The matter has been discussed and
agitated from time to time and
now there seems to be a STRONG
sentiment in favor of the town
owning the plant. Some over
lures for purchase have hereto
for been made to the owners of
the plant, but it was thought that
their figure, $40. 600 was too high.
In speaking of the matter the
Spencer Crasc mt says:
1.-The statement now is, sub
stantially, that should the town
purchase at even $40, 900, the first
years net revenue would be more
than 800. That, if the town OPP
crates the plant and owns 1t, ev-
cry citizen able to make sewerage
connection and pay water rates,
would subscribe for water works.
In that case, the next revenue
would be proportiopately increas-
ed. That it would further and
continuously increase with sddi-
tions to population and the occu-
pancy of business houses now va
cant. At the meeting Thursday
night, a petition was given into
the hands Of q committee. adj
dressed to the town council and
mayor, asking them to negotiate
the purchase of the property at a
price not exceeding $42, 600.

Wednesday and addressed an au-
dience at the court house. He
spoke of the evil effects of the
liquor traffic and cited statistics
to show the gre1t damage it Was
doing. He thought the best So

triumph of the principles set forth
on the subject in the platform of

sion by congress Of an amendment
to the constitution prohibiting the

A HORRIBLE DEED.
Young Man Crazed Over Love Affair Brut-
ally Murders His Sweetheart.

At Startown, three miles from
this place, the Sabbath peaceful
ness was broken this morning by
one of the most demoniacal crimes
ever known in this county. The
tragedy took place in the Metho'
dist church about 1920 while
Sunday school was being held,
Miss Willie Bullinger, aged about
Is years. being stabbed to death
by Lon RAIDER, aged about 21, a
discharged lunatic.
The reports that reach here are
a little conflicting as to just how
the awful deed was done. One is
to the effect that Miss Bullinger
was seated at the organ playing
for the Sunday school when RAIDER,
leaplng across several seats, at
tackled her with his pocket knife,
stabbing her once in the back and
twice in the breast. Another re.
port is that the man waited Just
outside of the church door and
just as she came out committed
the deed. But wherever the act
was done, the result is the same
and the girl lies dead at the home
of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wallace Bullinger. The attack
was very violently made and it is
said that those reaching the cou-
pie fist could not prevent RAIDER
from giving his victim several cuts.
The murderer was arrested at
once and is now in Jail: He is
not sorry for the crime and is le-
ported as saying that he killed her
"because she was a witch"
RAIDER was last spring commit
ted to the asylum at Morganton,
having become violently insane.
At this time in his rawlings he
talked incessantly of Miss Bull
niger for several months. He has
been at home apparently we'll and
nothing strange was noticed about
him until his terrible deed this
yesterday afternoon he
delivered a load of wood in New
ton and while here purchased a
new knife with which he COM
mitted the murder.
News of the deed was brought at
once to Newton and the county
physician, Dr.. George H. West,
and Sheriff D. M. Boyd fastened
to the scene. RAIDER had been Sc
cured instantly on killing the girl
and is now in jail.
The young lady will be buried
tomorrow Observation-Disclosures, N.

A Grave Charge.

Another young negro has man
aged to get himself into serious

charges that the man under arrest,
John Click, entered her sleeping
room Saturday night by breaking
open a window. She was aroused
by the noise and after calling to
see who was there she arose and
seized Click. She is a woman of
some muscular strength, more at
least than Click possessed, for she
