ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
NEGRO STANTON, LOCKED Up Mon.
DAY EVENING. Ours UaLY CASH
IN THROAT WITH RAZOR.
Wound Sewed Up and He rlayLive

En- Stanton, the Bullpasturt
River negro, who was brought here
and locked up on Monday, made &
desperate attempt to take his lite
on Wednesday night, razor being
used for the purpose.
Henry Baker, who is one of the
seven prisoners, but ''trusty." had
been using the razor on the previ.
GUS day, and left it in the cell
Stanton says that he cut his throat
about 10 o'clock, but, being locked
in the cage by himself. the crime
was not discovered until early
Thursday morning, and then only
bv the appearance Of blood stains,
as he had covered his neck and face
with bed clothing. The wound,
which bled profusely, is deep one
Immediately in front, partly sever.
ing the wind-pipe, but, while the
knife marks reach from car to ear,
the vital region of the jugular was
not deeply cut.
He was attended by all three OF
the resident physicians, and, while
we did not hear their opinion after
the wound was dressed, the general
impression seems to be that the
chances for and against him are
about equal.
Stanton's fellow-prisoners now
recall certain remarks made BY him
yesterday which pointed to self-de-
struction, but at the time not un-
,derstood by them. 1t is said that
he sent his purse home by some
one Yesterday evening, anu express
ed desire to see his boy.
He is large man, perhaps forty
years of age, and is said to have
Indian blood in his veins, a claim
which is strengthened somewhat
by his prominent cheek. bones and
color.
The crime with which the negro
is charged and for which he was
locked up, is the seduction OF his
STEP daughter, the circumstances
being aggravated, according to the
evidence, by cruel treatment
threats etc.

School Book Adoption

The State Board OF Education
met in Richmond last week and
adopted text books for the public
schools of Virginia for the next
four years.
The Board adopted the 'single
list" preferred and clamored for by
most Of the people, vet the country
will rot be happy, because the new
list will necessitate almost an en-.
tire change in this and many coun.
ties, perhaps only two of the old
books being retained. One feature
connected with the move is favora,
bic, and that is that the price OF
the books will he decidedly lower,
and the old books should be saved
as they can be used in the ex-
change.
The new list includes the follow
ing books: Pharmacies Primer,
Sheppe's Word Studies, Webster's
Dictionaries, Hyde's >Grammars,
Chandler and Chitwood's Makers Of
American History, Lees New
School History, Frye's Biographies,
Colaw's Arithmetic for the coun-
ties and Soutbworth- Stone Arith-
metic for certain cities, Duggaf's
Agriculture.
Our people will be glad to note
the success Of the Colaw Arithme-
tic, which will now be used in all
the counties Of the State, whereas,
formerly, only about 35 OF the
counties had adopted it. 1t will
also be used in all The smaller cit
les of the State.
Tie Sheppe Word Studies adopt
ed is by Mr.. E. S Sheppe, who will
be remembered as former owner
and publisher Of the Recorder, mer-
chant and teacher Of Monterey.
He is a brother Of DR.. j. L. Sheppe,
of Crabbottom, and now lives in
North Carolina, if we mistake not.
