A New York despatch of the
18th says: A year and a half ago
a friendless girl was murdered in
a forsaken patch of woodland
near Islip, Long Island; week
ago her bleached and charred
skeleton was found, with nothing
to indicate its identity but her
jewelry and a bill of sale from a
German shop; three days later
through the police of Hamburg,
Germany, her identity was estab-
lished as Anna Luther, though
the cables first carried the name
as Latter; last night her husband,
Frederick Gebhardt, who hac
married her under the name oil
Otto Mueller, was caught in AS
toria, L. l., by a photographer
f1ashlight, and tonight he confess
ed over his signature that he il

Wheat and Corn in Randolph
County-Mil.s Busy.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
I find in reaching this county
(Randolph) that the farmers are
in the midst of their busy fall
season, gathering corn and plant
ing wheat. Most of them have
gathered all their corn, while 9TH
ers have sown most of their
wheat and left the corn until af-
ter the first real biting frost, ac-
cording to the different ideas ex-
listing among our leading farmers
in this section but all are intend
ing to plant more wheat, as this
is principally their money crop.
| We have had freezing cold
weather this week. Frost look
ed like little SHOWS and ice re-
manned in the sunshine until 9 a,
m. two mornings, with moderat-
ing temperature for the 9th.
Corn that usually sells at 60
and IS cents per bushel in this
county during October is selling
| from the heap at rs to IS cents
now and will be 81 per bushel
by Christmas.
: Both the wheat and corn crops
! in this county were cut short this
: year. and both cereals are selling
! higher than ever known in our
. home markets before. Seed
I wheat is 81. so per bushel, while
last July and August the same
g could have been bought for much
n less. Some fields of wheat that
were planted two and three
i weeks ago are beginning to look
4 green under the sun and will soon
be noticeable for their verdancy.
County fairs, circus shows and
/ tent revivals seem to be the pre-
dominating attractions through
out the piedmont region at this
time of the year.
The IA cotton mills located
along Ii miles of Deep river,
which passes through our little
town, Central Falls, are running
, on full time, presenting a general
D hustle that speaks we'll for a sec.
ton where cotton is selling al
131 cents and will go still higher
before they stop on account OF
price, unless they have to comply
with the manufacturers who are
crying out for curtailment il
q goods.

S. c., last week. DR.. G. C.
Bigham and A. B. Avant were
charged with the killing of the
young wife Of 2igham at Muir
rell S inlet September 4. 1t was
claimed by the defendants
that Mrs. Bigham was shot while
she was walkingtoward the beach
about dark; that when she failed
to answer their call they thought
she was some one who had done
some unlawful act and was trying
to escape and that Avant then
shot. They were found guilty and
sentenced to 81 years at hard
labor in the penitentiary. They
were admitted to bail in the sum
of 81, 500 pending appeal to the

which if in vogue in the more civil
lied countries would undoubtedly
eliminate much happiness. all
though part of the q remony is not
in harmony with the ideas of the
western world concerning morality.
The CourtShip.
When a young woman in Igorrote
land takes a fancy to any young man
of her race, she simply watches him
for a time. She will continue to keep
her eye on him until he lays down
something of his personal property
such as pocket hat or brass pipe.
She will Immediately secure it and
go to the dormitories in which all
young unmarried females of the viii
age reside.
All IgorFotes regard their brothers
as thoroughly honest, and when the
young man misses lis belongings, he
Immediately seeks d in the dormi-
tories of the young women This
gives her an opportunity to show
her regard for him and she immed-
lately takes advantage of the open
ing to shyly propose marriage. If
the young man is favorably disposed.
they Immediately enter the trial
marriage. But if not. he simply
takes whatever she has secured
which belongs to him and returns to
his domicile, this action constituting
refusal.
The Trial Marriage.
If, however, he is seeking a wife.
and she is the choice, they go to the
parents for their consent. In the lg-
orrote village, which is at present on
exhibition at the great Rock Island
exposition, two of the natives are
undergoing the. trial marriage. They
are Aloa and Taft ndin by name
These young people after securing
the consent of the parents, go to live
together in the house provided by
the home of the young woman's
mother next to her own. They live
together there for year. paying the
mother all the wages. they earn. in
return for the food and lodging
which is provided.
The Proof.
The proof of their adaptibility to
each other and the probability of a
happy marriage is the birth of a
child within the year This is re-
garded as the necessary bond be-
tween them which will guarantee
their happiness. When the child is
born, big feast is prepared in the
village ON day set by the head men
