PERCY LOVE
 SENTENCED Five Years in Prison for
 Selmian. WILL SERVE IN ATLANTA Young Man Pleaded Guilty to
 Charges. Was Indicted By Federal Grand Jury for FaIsifying His Accounts as Employe of Greens
 boro Bank.

Selma. Nov. 1s.--(Speciai. )--Just be- fore the November term of the United states District and Circuit Courts ad- journed this morning, Judge Harry Toulmin passed sentence upon Percy Love. the young Selmian. who in the court yesterday afternoon pleaded guilty to having falsified his accounts while acting as bookkeeper of the First National Bank of Greensboro.
 Love was sentenced to a term of five years in the Federal prison at Atlanta and will probably leave for that instt- tuition tomorrow to begin serving his sentence.
 While there were twenty y-nine coants against Love for falsifying his &C., counts, he was tried only on one of thesel The other twenty-eight counts, 1t is understood. win be nolle pressed.
 The friends of Love in Selma believe that he will soon be released from tn e Federal prison, as it is understood that steps have already been taken to seek a pardon for him.
 Love accepted his sentence from Judge Toumlin this morning in the indifferent way he Is described to have taken his arrest by the Federal ofii- cers in Chattanooga last summer. He appeared in court perfectly dressed. The tailored suit of clothes which he wore appeared to have been freshly pressed for the occasion, and his clean shaven face was wreathed with a smile as Judge Toumlin committed him to prison.
 When Love went to the court house this morning to await the announce ment of his sentence, he was accom- panied by his wife, but she did not appear in the court room. The part ing of the husband from the wife was a most affectionate one. and took place near the foot of the steps leading to the court room.
 Besides sentence being passed on Love, two cases were tried before the adjournment Of the court. Both of these cases were against the Demopo- lis negroes who a few weeks ago sent obscene letters to a resident of that city. attacking the character of a we'll known woman.
 These cases were against Norman Bestetter and Eugene Henderson. Nor man Bestetter was sentenced to serve two years sentence in the Federal prison at Atlanta. Eugene Henderson was sentenced to serve a twenty months' sentence in the prison in Washington.

BOND VOTESCOUNTED
FLORIDIANS DEFEATED MEASURE
 FOR GOOD ROADS.
City People Opposed More Taxes and County People Feared Au-
 m0hiles--The News of PenaaeOIa.

Pensacota, Fla, Nov. 1s.-(specisl.)- An officiaii canvass of the returns of the election of last week, when the County voted on a proposition to issue bonds for the sum of $2o0.o00 for road Improvements, was made today by the Board of County Commissioners.
 This showed that not one fourth of the registered vote had been boiled. and that the bond issue had been de- featedy by over four to one, not only in the city but. also in the County.
 There was some surprise occasioned when the. country precincts were heard from as they opposed the issue notwithstanding the fact that the coun- \ try would be the sole beneficiary in country people had become prejudiced on account of many automobiles pass ing over the improved roads, while the voters in the city did not approve of being taxed to build country roads.
 The Commissioners at the meeting today provided for future elections by splitting precinct No. 15 bone of contention on each election day. into four parts. The precinct is the larg- est in the County, and even after be- ing cut into four parts last year had more than 1900 voters within its dis tricts. Upon it's returns many an election has been hinged, but now 1t has been reduced to about 200 voters, as the Commissioners today cut it into four parts and increased the number of election districts in the County to s7

stand 1t. Ills train and body would detertorate. He would revel in the joy of the first few months, but after that --he shuddered as he recalled what he had been before he had left England. He remembered the razor at his throat, the revolver at his forehead In that former life of his there had lurked the terror that he could not understand. Here. at any rate. there was peace ana safety. He seemed to have passed be- yond the reach of George Crawshay. !. After a long mental struggle ne de- cided that he was not yet strong enough to return. He realized that he still longed for the pleasures of his old life. and the mere fact that he desired them indicated the danger of return ing while he was in this state of mind. It was true that to a certain extent he had eubdued his desires, and every month. they grew fainter and more iri- definite. But they had not been finally conquered. and he resolved to remain in the desert for another year.
 And then he came to the question of Lady Betty Drake. The change in his mental attitude towards all the world had naturally included a very marked change in his feelings towards the wo- man who loved him. She had once been merely a possible income for tAG s0HL AG tt04 hD S%h-t~ " regard her with almost superstitious
 reverence, and he could not make up his mind whether 1t would be better to let her think of him as dead. or VII eth-
 CT he ought to let her know the truth :.
 The solution of this problem would
 have been simple if he had loved her. But his feelings were only those of re-
 gard for a noble woman. It said much
 for the change in the mans character
 that his thoughts were now for her happiness, and that he had no inten- ton of marrying her for her money.
 Yet this view of the matter only in- troduced fresh complications. It would be easy enough to return and marry her. and try to lead new life. But if he did not intend to marry her would 1t be better to let her think of him as dead. or to let her know the truth7
 The question of sending this message 1 by the caravan involved several other considerations If he was to be count i cd as dead. his brother Henry would
 take his place at Gaunt Royal. His
