other industrial plants ought now to
be satisfied. The ''factory inspec-

under the direction Of Commissioner
Watson. There is very much work
mapped out for these two inspectors,
and exactly how they are to do the
half of what is planned and do 1t

DEATH SENTENCE
DAY AFTER CRIME
Negro Who Assaulted Girl Thursday
Condemned to Die-Execution
Set for March %.

Roanoke, Va, Feb. 19.-Aurelius
Christian, the negro who yesterday
criminaMy assaulted and then MUIR
dered Miss Mary Dobbs, the pretty
14year-old daughter of prominent
Botetourt county farmer, was today
sentenced to die in the electric chair
in the State penitentiary on March
|22. Christian was taken from Clifton
Forge today TO Fineastle and tried at
special sitting Of the court by Cir
cult Judge Anderson, who acconpan-
led the negro and officers to Flncastle.
Christian was indicted by the grand
jury and Judge Anderson appointed
three lawyers to defend him. At a
conference between the lawyers and
the prisoner, Christian made a con-
fesSion Of the crime, which he later
repeated in court to the judge. The
court heard three witnesses, who es-
tablished the time and place OF the
crime. No jury was summoned. The
judge accepted Christians confession
a~a imposed the death sentence. The
negro said he was hiding In the
woods when Miss Dobbs passed by on
her way to a store. He seized her
and, after assaulting her, cut her
throat and stabbed her three times in
order to keep her from telling.
Christian showed no signs Of fright
in court.
Then sentence came within "A hours
after the crime was committed, and
Christian was sent to the Flncastle
jail. Tie Jail is being guarded to-
night t. prevent any attack THAT
might be made by a mob. A mob
gathered last night near Clifton
Forge, but agreed not 10 attempt to
lvnch Christian while he was ait that
place.

LEGISLATURE BREAKS PRE-
CEDENT.
House Was Ready and Anxious tt
Adjourn Saturday-What Has
Been Done at the Present
Session.

Columbia, February 21.-All prece-
dents have been broken by the length
ening Of the legislative session be-
vond the 10 day limit contemplated
bv the constitution. Prior to the
adoption Of the new constitution, and
covering the period from 1876 to
1895. when the new constitution was
adopted. there never was but one eS-
ception, it is said, when the session
lasted more than thirty days, and at
that time the code was adopted by
going through it the same as If 1t
we're 4 new Act. Then after the new
constitution was adopted there were
several long sessions to incorporate
into statute law the provisions Of the
constitution. The general assembly
last wear returned to elect the sue
cessor Of Senator Latimer, but trans
acted no legislative work.
This extension Of the session in the
year 1909 is, therefore, all the more
extraordinary and unprecedented, as
there was nothing of vital Importance
to hold the session beyond the forty
day Limit, unless it be the hope OF
forcing the adoption Of Statewide
prohibition, and then, perhaps, going
home and regretting it.
