BEING TRIED FOR AGED CRIME.
Dr. Puryear on Trial In Granville for
Crime Done rs Years Aqo.

The trial of DR.. James d. Pur-
year in Granville county is on
this week, and is attracting con-
siderable attention from all news
paper readers. It is something
unusual that a man is tried for a
crime that he committed in his
earlier days, but this is the case
here, and now DR.. Puryear is be-
fore the jury on charge of kill
ing a negro twenty-five years
ago.
The story of the crime is pos
sibly known to a great many of
us, but for the benefit of those
unacquainted with the facts, the
following is a condensed story of
it. When young man twenty
five years ago, DR.. Puryear went
to the home of a negro neighbor,
and calling him TO the door, kill
ed him. Soon after his arrest he
was declared insane, and was
sent to the state hospital. He
remained there only a short
time, and managed to escape or
was given his liberty. After his
departure from the hospital he
wandered from place to place,
finally going to Virginia and later
returning to his old home in
Granville, this being four years
ago. Here he has remained un-
molested until recently when a
man. who had a dispute with him
caused a warrant to be issued ac-
cusing him of numbering the
negro, and for this he is now be-
ing tried.
Solicitor Jones Fuller, of this
city, is the prosecutor in the case,
and the defendant is being de-
Tended by Judge A. w. Graham
and Generally :Royster. Mr.. w. S.
Holloway, formerly of Granville,
but now of Durham has gone to
Oxford, where he will appear as
a witness in the case.

night and held their first precinct
primary. At this meeting they
chose delegates and committee
men to 60 to the county conven-

presided over by commissioner

worked in perfect harmony.
From the delegates selected those

At the meeting the Republicans
endorsed Mr.. o. M. Perry for the
board of county commissioners.
This was perhaps the most i'm
portant transaction. The pre-
cinct committee is composed of
Messrs. ID. z. 0'Briant. 7. w.

Work on Several Roads to be Dis.

JURORS FOR THE COURT SELECTED
Finances Of County In Very Low Con-
dillon Work on ROxbOr0 Road
Goes on Names Of
the Jurors Chosen.

The County Commissioners
met on Monday and Tuesday, at
which meetings they transacted
much business of importance.
AS the county is in severe need
of money, the commissioners or
dered nearly all of the road work
to be discontinued.
This, however. does not inter-
fere with the Roxboro road, up.
on which work, is progressing
rapidly. The building of this
road is being financed by the
the banks, that is, it is being
paid for with the money bor-
rowed after the same issue
failed on election day. Reports
show that Mr.. Peters is making
rapid headway toward the COM
pletion of the Roxboro road. AL.
ready over half or the $4,000,
set apart for that purpose, has
been expended, and it is believed
that with fair weather the road
will be completed by the first of
January, 1908. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Peters has
recently doubled his force. and
also purchased a new steam rol-
Ter, which greatly aids them in
the speedy construction of the
road. &
The board ordered that the
work then being done by the
rock-crushers on the Rigsbee
road be discontinued, and also
that work on Mineral Springs
road be stopped. and the road
superintendent be notified. The
discontinuance Of this road work
is to last thirty days. and then
the county hopes to have the
work continued. The board
further directed that the super
intendent notify all of his
superiors, in all townships that
have no surplus, to stop all road
work, except in case of emergen-
cy for sixty days.
A motion was passed by the
board ordering that a list Of all
those who have not listed their
poll or property tax for the year
1903. as shown by the reports of
the various tax listers of the
county, be shown.
