Declared guilty by a jury of mur-
der in the first degree and sentenced
to be electrocuted in Richmond on
January 7th, was the outcome of the
trial at Grundy. Va, Saturday, of
Howard Little, who was charged
with the seXtuple murder Of Mrs.
Betty Justin, George Meadows, his
wife and three children. The jury
rendered it's verdict after having
been out all night. The murder oc-
CURED at Burley, Buchanan county,
and the bodies Of the victims were
burned. The crime for which Little
was found guilty was a particularly
atrocious one. The only motive
which now can be conceived by the
authorities Is that of robbery. They
believe Little sought TO obtain the
money which he thought was in the
house, amounting to $1,000, and that
murder and arson followed, but since
the crime was committed none OF the
money has been found. Feeling
against Little ran to such an extent
that an extra guard was placed
around the jail to prevent any unto
ward act

DEATH OF DIR. L. JUNIus MANN.
Death Came Suddenly at Parents
Home L. West Union.

Or. l.. Junius ManG died last Mon
day morning at 1890 o'clock at the
home of his parents, Rev. 2nd Mrs.
Coke ID. Mann, in West Union. His
death was sudden and entirely unex-
pected. On Sunday evening he ar
rived at the Mann home to spend the
night with his father and mother,
expecting to return to his profess
sional duties In Anderson Monday.
He retired Sunday night between 10
and IL o'clock In usual health. A
servant calling at his door Monday
morning failed to bring any response
from DR.. Mann, and this fact was an
nounced to his mother, who went
Immediately to the room and found
him unconscious. He remained in
this condition until 1890 o'clock,
when death came.
DR.. Mann was almost 33 years of
age, having been born January IS,

graduated from Charleston Medical

home Of higher altitude. About a
year ago he moved to Anderson,
where he was enjoying a marked de-
gree Of success in a professional ca
reer of great promise. He was a
young man of decided personality,
and in each of the communities in
which he had resided he had drawn
about him wide circle of staunch
friends. He stood high in profess
sional and Masonic circles. He was
a young man Of ability, and in his
death a life Of great promise has
been brought to an end.
DR.. Mann leaves to mourn his
death his father and mother, Rev.
and Mrs. G. d. Mann, Of West I'm
ion; three brothers, Prof Jas. L..
Mann, of Florence; Homer Mann, of
Newberne, N. c.; Ed. c. Mann, of
st. Matthews; one sister, Mrs. Thos

sympathy of all.

After cutting to death Burt Woods,
Snowman attending carnival at
Jacksonville, Fla, last Friday, and
fatally cutting John S. Smith, COM
panion, Jesse Altman was shot and
instantly killed by Smith just before
the latter died. Altman and Smith
met Woods in the downtown dis
trict, and in an alteration the for

Altman drew razor across Smiths
throat. AS he fell, Smith snatched a
revolver from Altman's pocket and
fired, the shot proving fatal. The
two bodies were found in the yard Of

bodies were later placed in the NOR
que. Altman was known as a des-
perate character, and had twice been

Do You Want to Educate Your Chldrens so, Move to
Westminster and Get the Advantages of School
Second to None in the State.

The Westminster Graded School
was organized in the year 1908 with
an enrolment Of about 240 pupils

ers, including the principal. Since
that time the school has grown by
leaps and bounds until now Westmin-
ster has one of the best equipped
High Schools in the State, with a
strong corps Of nine teachers, two Of
whom are men, in the High School
Department.
More than $40 pupils are in at
tendance every day now, and before
next May the enrolment will reach

that new auditorium has been
erected at a cost Of $5,0O0.0O. This
auditorium Is a compactly construct
ed building and is seated with COM
Portable opera chairs. The hall will
accommodate over 700 people with

MEErINa OF SCHOOL TRusrEEs.
Over Half the Trustees of Oconee
We're Present at Gathering.

In response to the call of the
County Superintendent, the school
trustees of the county held their con
vention at the Court House on Tues
day.
The meeting was called to order at
IL o'clock by the Superintendent and
Its 'object stated, after which the
discussion of local and general ques-
tions were heartily entered into.
Among the most important things
discussed and passed were two treso-
lutions addressed to our members Of
the General Assembly. The first one
asks that the appropriation for
weak schools be raised from $2O,-
600 to 100000. The next asks that
the law in regard to appointing trus-
tees be changed so that they will
hold Office for three years instead of
two, and that the term of office Of
ore shall expire each year. This Is
considered of especial Importance in
the proper management of the
schools.
The question of consolidation was
then discussed, but no action was
taken.
DR.. Hines, trustee from Seneca,
called attention to the important step
oShSNo hoo SohCu, IhuS OCO-
nee in the lead in this State of hav-
Ing a thorough physical examination
made of every student and records
taken, and in this way protecting the
health Of the child as well as train
ing his mind. His talk was we'll re-
ceived and aroused considerable in
tersst.
Out Of the 23O trustees In the
county at least 120 were present,
which called forth remarks of graft
fication from members Of the County
Board, who were present, and other
members Of the audience. However,
1t was noticeable fact in calling the
roll that some Of the largest and
best schools in the county, and
among them two Of our towns, had
no representation present.
After voting unanimously to
make the meeting an annual event,
the convention adjourned at p. m,
subject to the call Of the County
Superintendent.
