Death senlence Passed. on Two.

Buckingham c. H.. Va, March
23.-When the jury in the case
against Richard Perkins brought in
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree here to-day. Judge Hall moved
to set aside the verdict, but his mo-
ton was overruled by Judge Humid
ley.
w. Dallas Wright. convicted last
week, was then brought into court.
and he and Richard Perkins were
both sentenced to be executed on the
3D. day of June. The court granted a
posaponement of execution for nine
ty days from the adjournment OF
this court to allow the defendants
to apply for a writ of error, and
sixty days in which to file a bill OF
exceptions.
Before sentence was passed upon
Wright he was asked if he had any
thing to say, and he told the jury he
was as innocent of the charge
against him as the judge himself.
After sentence was pronounced
Wright asked to be permitted to ad-
dress the bystanders, but his request
was refused.
The verdict came as a great sur
prise TO Wright, and he seemed 70
be greatly depressed.
In the case of Jones. which was
tried at the July term. 1909, Judge
D. T. Gordon presiding, Jones was
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree. A motion for a new trial made
at that time has been continued us-
til the present without beiiS passed

Those Wagons OF Hay Again.

In last weeks Herald we mention
ed with genuine pride. the fact that
six wagons, loaded with homegrown
hay moved down our Main street,
and named Mr.. II. +. Barrow as
grower and owner In this, we were
in error. and take first opportunity
in correcting our mistake, and to ex-
press our regrets at the same.
Mr.. w. II. Hubbard the largest
hay maker of the county, as well as
one of the largest growers Of tobac-
co. grew that hay, his team brought
it to town, and sale was made to
Mr.. r. w. Vaughan. And Mr.. Hub
bard was mounted on one Of
the loads, and yet we failed to re-
cognize the master and the con-
oueror. Still he got the money. and
not Nh. Barrow, and so no harm
was done. Next time tell us the
facts and keep us from making mis-
takes.

The Normal Did Better Than We
Thought.

The State Normal, located here,
was literally dealt with by the re-
cent legislature. The annual appro-
priation of fifty thousand was added
to by five thousand. Fifteen thous-

and seven hundred for the Thack-
ston and Anglea lots. This speaks
in high praise of our worthy repre-
sentatives. Messrs. Owen and Ewing,
and tells that while they wasted no
time in Grating" they did get in
some effective work. If we mis-
take not, the Normal is the only Ii
terary child of the State that Jared
so well. Let the heroes in the
fight visit the Normal, receive the
thanks. the smiles and the College

Hunt, another of the older residents
of our town has gone to her reward.
The announcement of her death
came as a surprise TO many OF our
people She was stricken with

Church for about fifty years, and
was always loyal TO the church and
to her pastor. She has for years
been one of the most active workers
in the Church, and her place here
will be hard to fill. But in the
home the loss is sorest.
She was early left a widow, and
had to be to her own children both
father and mother. The children
who survive her are Mrs. James Ash
by Armistead, Capt. II. II. Hunt and
Otey l.. Hunt.
Mrs. Hunt was a daughter of the
late +. T. Rice. She leaves one
sister, Mrs Dr. Winston, two broth
ers, p. II. c. Rice and James V.
Rice and her aged mother, Mrs. L.
T. Rice. who is now 80 years old.
The Herald joins her host of
friends in extending sympathy to the
sorrowing family.
The funeral took place at the
home on Wednesday. p. m. and
was conducted by her pastor, Rev.
II. NJ. Fugate. assisted by Rev w.
T. Green, pastor Of the Methodist
Church The burial was I'm our
town cemetery, and the new made
grave was covered with a profusion
of flowers of fairest bloom, rich in
fragrance. the offering of those who
knew and loved her. The following
were the pail bearers:

no place like home. it is next TO IT,

Depot for Tuggles.

Hon. J. J. owen was in town on
Tuesday. called at the Herald Office
and gave us interesting review OF
the work of the last legislature. he
was patron of one of the most I'M

through. He went from here TO
Tuggles tC look into the situation
there as to a depot for the people
of that section. Two hundred per-
sons have petitioned for depot con-
veniences at that point, and Mr..
Owen thinks the demand just one
and that unless the Norfolk & Wes-
tern will of their own accord, erect
the depot. the Corporation Commis-
sion will compel them to do it. 1t
strikes us that the demands OF two
hundred patrons of the road should
be met

the coming State fair is being
literally advertised. and isn't it alb
out time we were commencing on
Farmgille's next fair? The Herald
suggested the first fair ever held in
Farmville into being. and has con
tinued to suggest into life and ac-
ton it's each and every successor.
How many dollars did the holding
of these exhibitions bring into Farm
ville's pocket books? We have our
estimate. and it means many thous-
ands. Isn't such a paper worth two
cent a week? Does any like invest
ment bring like returns?

TALK OF "FODDER"
DOWN THE STATE

Paul Pry," the Glendale cores
pondent Of the Milford Chronicle, in
his letter in Fridays issue says:
"The campaign which has been con-
Quoted with so much quietness on both
sides, is now in it's closing hours, and
the visit of Willard Salisbury to this
part of Sussex has put great heart in
the Democratic workers. The Repub-
lican workers have not been very ag-
gressive, but since last Monday both
parties have been showing activity
and from the writer's point of obser-
yation, it looks as II a large guam
tity of money would be spent by both
sides. I am not one OF the vote buy
ers, but a Democrat. and regret to see
my own party stoop to what we have
condemned the Republicans for
The Harrington correspondent OF
the Chronicle says:
"The politicians of both parties are
hustling day and night trying TO in
fuence voters to think and vote their
way-and from the view point OF one
who is not interested-the result is
very uncertain. Unless the Democrats
use lots of money to buy votes, the
chances are that the candidate on the
Republican ticket for the House OF
Representatives, John p. Masten, ana
Mr.. Booth. on the same ticket for the
Levy Court. Will have small MAORI
ties; the balance of the ticket is very
close. Il is almost sure that some
Democratic money will be used-as It
was two years ago.
