a Very Good Scheme.

a rather unique feature in the way
Of punishment has been inaugurated
in the graded school at Blacksburg.
Some of the boys who were kept in"
after school requested Superintend-
ent Montgomery 10 allow them to go
out into the school yard and spend
their time in work instead of being
confined in the building. Mr.. Mont
gomery, being very reasonable and
sensible man, readily acquieSced, and
heartily entered into the plan, direct
ing the boys in their work, requiring
them to lay {" and make flower beds,
etc, and furnishing seed for them,
thereby beautifying the school yard
and inculcating into the boys minds
ideas Of order and beauty. The boys
are delighted, the number Of cul-
prits increased, and, under proper
control, no doubt much good work
will be done.

PRIEST HEAVILY IN DEBT.
Rev. Caesar Elbert, of Baltimore,
Owes About $13O,OOO.

Baltimore, March 1.-THE reve-
lations published to-day concerning
the financial adventures Of the Rev.
Caesar Elbert, recently removed
from the rectorship of St. Kathe-
rine's Roman Catholic church, this
city, have caused a profound sensa-
tion in Catholic circles. The deep
est sympathy is expressed for Cardi-
nal Gibbons, who has assumed the
burden Of paying Father Elbert's
debts. These obligations so far as
disclosed by the investigation into
the priests affairs amount to about
$3.50, exclusive of a church debt
of $4,000. They were issued in
large numbers to banks and indi-
$1,000 to $4,000, and were all
signed by him as pastor Of st. Kat
crimes church. He had life insur-
anre to the extent of $4,000, but
had borrowed heavily on his policies.
and uucr every side he plunged heaV-
lily into debt.
According to an official statement
from Cardinal Gibbons very little Of
the money raised by Father Ebert
was used for church purposes.
"Some of it went" he said, "to pay
premiums on life and accident insur-
ance. The balance went into vision
ary financial schemes by itch he
expected to realize large profits.
There is no indication that the money
was spent for any improper pur-
poses"
Fa her Elbert is now In santa
rum, believed by physicians who
have been investigating his affairs, to
be mentally unbalanced.

COMMUNICATIONS WAS NOT TRUE
Elisha Smith Says There WaS@No
Foundation for Locals.

In our issue of March Sd, 1909,
there appearsd communication
dated at Danville, February 25th, In
which several items of supposed local
news were taentained Elisha Smith
informsfis that each one of the items
coatained therein was absolutely
fa1se and the one concerning himself
. Intentionally SO. The only item con-
staining even a semblance of truth
was one which said that Isaac
Barnes and Ed. Holden were on their
way to Asheyille, n. C. In this case
even the names were transposed.
The real names of these parties are
Ed. Barnes and Isaac Holden. The
latter left home without the knowl-
edge or consent of his parents, and 1T
was through the means Of this item
that Mr.. Holden found his boy, who
was located at Canton, n. G.
This much good was accomplished
by the items, but aside from the bit
of truth contained in this one para
graph the whole letter. was untrue.
Unfortunately our attention was
not called to the matter until three
weeks after the letter was set up in
type and the manuscript had been
destroyed and we lost trace of the
name Of the party who wrote 1t.
We have known Elisha Smith for
years and have known him to be a
gentleman in every sense of the
word, and from the statement made
by him as to certain facts that un-
derlie the tens we are sure that the
supposed local items were untrue.
We regret the occurrence Of such
things, and are sorry we are not able
to furnish Mr.. Smith with the name
of the author Of the letter, which we
would gladly do If we could. He
bears splendid reputation, not only
in his own community, but over the
county wherever he is known.

The prohibition leaders made a
bold and desperate fight CD to pass
the Statewide bill at this session of
the Legislature, and their failure to
do so is attributable to obstinate and
wicked local optionsts. The leaders

AS | am somewhat familiar with
that road, having been over it a
short time ago, | agree with him
that there should be some improve
mentS made on said road. | am
glad that the good people of Pendle-
ton are waking up to a sense of
their duty, for | failed TO arouse any
interest there three years ago when
went there in the interest of Max
wells bridge. | tried to show them
that it would be n great benefit to
their town and also the county. |
called to their attention the fact that
an act had been passed years ago
permitting the Commissioners of An
derson county to pay one-half for
building said bridge, and for them
to urge their Commissioners to act
in this very important matter. l
thought then, and have not changed
my mind yet, that it was their duty,
as the bridge is so near the line;
but ! have never heard anything
from them until now.
I fully agree with those who COM
plain about the bad condition of the
road, and that the worst hill on it is
in Anderson county. For fear some
one might not know what hill re-
fer to, I will call it the Eighteer-
Mile hill, so there will be no mistake.
| would suggest to my friends that
the grading Of this road to Maxwell's
bridge commence at the Mckay
bridge, in Anderson county, and If
the right-of-way costs in proportion
to small change we made five
years ago, it will be right expensive.
The change alluded to is about 200
yeards and cost Oconce $25. am
glad to say it was not an Oconec
man, but one owning large estate
in Anderson county.
Now, gentlemen of Pcndlcton,
start to grading on your end OF the
road and come to the line and | will
say in behalf Of Oconec's Supervise"
and Commissioners that they will
take care Of Oconee.
Now, in conclusion, / want to call
the attention Of Anderson's Supervi-
sOr to a road leading from Max
wells bridge directly to Anderson
Court House by way of the Pinkney
place. The above road is in such
bad condition that the mail carrier
has to walk good portion Of the
way. Now, If the Taxpayers on that
side Of the county vote themselves
into Anderson county they have q
tirst-class bridge to cross, built by
Oconee, when they want to sell their
cotton at Seneca and get better prices
for 1t than they can in Anderson.
If you should get off to Anderson
before we see you, we bid you all
affectionate farewell.

The application OF Priestly for a
pardon recalls an incident which hap
pened several years ago, another pc
tition from the same county Gov
ernor ID. G.. Hayward, affable and
courteous and somewhat proud of
his natural endowment for remem-
bering and associating names and
faces, was seated in his office one
day when Senator J. r. Earle, Of
Oconee, walked in, accompanied by
gentleman who wore a long over
coat, buttoned closely up to and
around the throat. The Governor
arose with his warm greeting, but
could not at once place the name of
Senator Earle's friend.
Il thought you wouldn't know me,
sir, but l am the man who was doing
some repair work at the Mansion
last summer" said this visitor some
what timidly.
Governor Hayward let his glance
run down to the mans feet-and
imagine his CONSERVATION to observe
that his trousers were convict's
stripes. The Senator's object was to
show to the Governor that this white
man could make a good appearance,
and to follow this up with a plea that
he be sent back to his family.
However, Governor Hayward was

COURT BOASTS VAN eooDELL
Sears Wanton Murderer I'm
Sentencing Him 60 Peniten-
tiary for Life.

Van Goodell will spend the 9Th Of Sep
tember OF every year for the rest OF his
life thinking over the murder OF Edna
Eennett.
Judge Sears sentenced GoodeIl Saturday
morning to confinement at hard labor for
life. but on the anniversary Of the day Of
the murder each year. II is the sentence
OF the court that you be kept in solitary
confinement"
Goodell received a stern condemnation
when he rose for sentence. First asked
II he had anything to say. he twisted
around and then mumbled, Nothing to
say He started to add something to
this. but checked himself.
This has been one of the most brutal
murders ever before this court" said the
Judge. "at least during my connection
with It. The jury has found you guilty on
the evidence and I think the evidence
amply s~ustains the verdict.
This was a girl, who at one time, had
put her life and reputation in your trust
and keeping: and in order to excuse your
self you come before the court and did, 1
think, worse than murder, when you ut
tered those words tending to blacken her
character. Some things you said and some
even more vicious you left unsaid, but with
a suggestion that was worse. There Ia no
doubt that you were sane when you made
those statements, and / feel that all your
life you will regret that you came into
court before your fellowmen and did this.
"It is never a pleasant task to sentence
a young man to the penitentiary. but I
cannot help but think that one like you
might well be removed from the presence
OF iawabiding men and women"
Pronouncernent Of the sentence followed.
Before the prisoner had been called upon
to stand to receive sentence, his counsel,
W.. w. .slabaugh. had declined to argue
the motion for a new trial, saying there
were no capital errors either in the in
structions to the jury or in the rulings on
evidence and the he had filed the motion
as a formally.
An appeal 20 the supreme court is ac-
cordingly unlikely and Goodell will start
Monday for the state penitentiary. He re-
ceived the sentence without a sign of
emotion other than twisting his hands
nervously.
