and became tangled about his feet.
He tried to pull it up, but it was SO
far down and so closely wrapped about
his feet that all his effort was futile,
Unable to use his legs he was about

TENNEY MAY NOT
SELL HIS STOCK
Judge Wells Grants Order ii
Divorce Proceedings Pending
Final Decision.

2 In the Chancery Court yesterday af-
ternoon. Judge Ernest H. Wells, sitting
for Judge Grinnan, entered an order
enjoiniuG the Atlantic Bitulithic Com
pany from transferring or disposing OF
stock that L, o. Tenney. president and
treasurer, may have in the company,
other than $4,000 In preferred stock
which he claims to own. until the suit
for divorce filed by his wife has been
decided.
The preferred stock now pays a divi-
dend OF per cent. per annum. Should
an additional dividend be declared, the
Atlantic Bitulithic Company is enjoin-
than the per cent. He is allowed
his salary OF $500 per annum, how
ever.
About six weeks ago Mrs. Tenney,
through her counsel. William l.. Roy
all, filed an amended BILL in which
she set out that she had reason to
believe that her husband had a much
larger interest in the Atlantic Btu.
lithic Company than he admits. Sht
alleged that she had reason to believe
that he has holdings amounting tc
ABOUT SoOU,u0u. Mrs. Ienney prayeC
the court to restrain the company from
disposing of any of this stock that
her husband is supposed to own. and
that the company be made a party
to the suit for divorce
The amended bin further asked that
the court cause the Atlantic Bituiithit
Company to show it's books in order
TO determine just What interest L. o
Tenney has in the company, so thai
should divorce be granted she ma,
claim alimony in accordance with tn,
amount of stock and other property
that her husband possesses.
The Atlantic Bitulithic Company
through its attorney, L. O. wenden
berg, commended that Mrs Tenney hat
no right TO compel the officers of the
company TO exhibit it's affairs TO its
business rivals.
Judge Wells held that while cour;
issued the order enjoining the dispos.
al of stock owned by Mr. Tenney, the
officers of the company would not be
required to exhibit the books in
court at this time. The court ruled
that in the event that divorce was
granted it was time enough then to
pass upon the question as to whether
or not the books should be examined
The court refused to anticipate VIVA,

II was contended by Mr.. Blake that
with smaller Council business could

One reason advanced that Councllmen

IN THE MEMORIAL
David w. Johnson, Of Meherrln
Has Every Symptom OF Recent
lv Discovered Disease.

| David W. Johnson, section foreman
on the Virginan Railway at Meherr1'l'

symptom of real case OF pellasra'
Mr.. johnson arrived In this CITY YES
terday and after an examination MS
case was pronounced to be pellagra,
and he is being treated for that dis
ease.
For several years Mr.. Johnson mas
been suffering with disease when
evidenced itself by the scaling of the
skin from his hands and wrists. The
scaling appeared in the spring OF the
year and continued for some time but
in the fall and winter 1t disappeared,
and Mr. Johnson thought he was only
suffering with some simple a1lment
that could be cured with an ointment.
Last spring, however, the scaling
OF the skin became worse than ever be-
fore, and within the last month the
disease went further than the hands
and wrists, and attacked his legs. Roth
legs swelled up to considerable OK
tent, and the circulation of blood left
his feet almost entirely.
The local physician of Meherrin
treated Mr.. Johnson to the best Of his
ability, and last week decided that the
disease looked like a Well developed
case Of pellagra. He advised Mr.. john
son toe.come 10 nosPltal, ana MT.

bic. He is an unusually strongly consll-
tuted man, and there Is, according to

NEGRO MURDERER
MUST SERVE Term.
Supreme Court Declines to Inter
fere With Sentence in
Louisa Case.

Charles Fountain, colored. under sem
tence of ten years in the penitentiary
for the murder OF Barney Bunch, was
yesterday refused writ of error by
the Supreme Court and must serve his
term. The alleged crime occurred on
December IL last.
With the petition for writ OF error
was filed section of Fountains over
alls. There were also sundry photo
graphs of the scenes at and around
Zion, in the upper end of Louisa
county.
The evidence shows that Fountain,
Bunch and one Linwood James, also OF
dusky persuasion. had foregathered at
the house OF William Jefferson. who
was engaged in the dispensing of a
certain liquid known as cider. The
three men drank a quart of the liquid
each. They then proceeded down the
big road"
Gruesome Find.
James left the other two and went
to house, where he remained about
an hour Fountain called there for
him, and the two went to the rail
road station. On the platform James
struck his foot against a head. which
turned out to be attached to the dead
body of Barney Bunch.
Fountain has several reasons for
asking for new trial. One OF these
was supposed errors in summoning the
venire, the lower court overrulinS a
motion to quash same. Then there Is
a claim that the court erred in admit
ting evidence to show that Fountain
had alleged that he had blood on his
trousers as the result of helping James
to carry the body of Bunch from the
station platform.
1t is further stated that the corpus
deficit was not proven. 1t being init
mated that Bunch might have been
killed by train. a physician testified
that the death wound was probably
made by a stick. rock or bludgeon.

HOW TO MAKE TEA.

Tea is responsible for many tlls,
specially among women. Whlle IL
j the simplest matter in the world
, make tea properly, 1t is unhealth-
ully prepared more often than oth'
srwise. Tea is absolutely unit 10
rink when the brewing process mas
,roceeded beyond a certain poIn'
and tannin is liberated, but IL care
is taken the evils of moderate YEA
drinking may be reduced to muhi-
mum. The old rule which calls lot
a teaspoonful for each person ana
one for the pot is mthinkable from
the standpoint OF the modern dleu-
,t,an. Such a brew is ruinous 10
skin stomach and nervous system.
To make tea properly and as near
ly as can be hygienically, buy good
tea, preferably black. Heat the
receptacle in which the tea Is to be
made with hot water, use one Tea
spoonful or less Of tea to pint OF
boiling water, allow the water 10
remain in contact with the leaves
five minutes, then pour off ana use
at once. Never put the teapot direct
w in contact with intense heat. A
very safe and satisfactory way OF
making tea is by the use OF the tea
ball, as very little tannin contami-
mates the beverage thus made. The
abuse of tea is common and a fer
lille source of serious nervous dis
ease. The habit of giving tea and
coffee to young children is little
short of criminal.
While on the subject OF beverage
let me remind you OF buttermilk.
The beauties OF three generations
back looked on buttermilk as an i'm
valuable aid to their charms. They
used it as a wash and they drank IL
freely. While 1T does not appeal to
our modern ideas of cleanliness TO
bathe in it, we still consider butter
milk one of the most healthful foods
Let me suggest few luncheon
menus for our girls who want tc
look wholesome and feel we'll. Fol
instance, try glass Of sweet malk
or buttermilk with Boston brown
bread, between thinly cut slices o1
which cream cheese has been spread
If these sandwiches are made al
home, variety may be obtained by
adding to the cheese few chopped
nuts, little chopped sweet pepper
few pistachio nuts, etc.-Dr. Jear

would go through the same maneu
