burg, June IS, 1909. was put to
death in the electric chair in the
State prison here early to-day. Mrs.
Hamilton came here with her child

sentence. The crime for which Ham
ilton was electrocuted was committed
in Lynchburg, Va, June IS, 1910.
Hamilton had been infatuated with
the woman and she had sought to
free herself from him. On that night
Mrs. Xix went to a dance Hamilton
followed her to the hall. On the way
home Hamilton shot her several
times. He was 25 years of age.

The Way to Success.
Mount Airy Leader.


The Democratic primaries all over
the State indicate that there is little
interest shown by the majority par
ty in the coming election for, only
trying to displace another crowd, was
there any enthusiasm. This was the
first primary held under the new law
and independent voters did not care
to commit themselves to a policy
which has not aided the State along
industrial lines.
The prospects for Republican sue
cess were never so bright, as now,
for the Democratic party is divided,
not on issues, but on the distribu-
ton of Offices and this to a Demo-
crat, is far more serious than if di-
vided on questions of principle.
In order to place North Carolina
where it justly belongs in the Repub-
lican column, the remedy is plain
and it can be easily done. Let every
Republican attend his primaries,
send the most loyal and intelligent
men, as delegates to the various con-
ventions, name a man like More
head for State Chairman, and the
trick is practically turned for BUSH
ness men and farmers, who have
confidence in the principles Of the
National party, will flock to a lead
ership which means something, not
only to the party, but the State as
we'll.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 5.-Judge

to life Imprisonment at hard labor.
DR.. Hyde was convicted of poisoning
Colonel Thomas H. Swope.
Mrs. Hyde arrived a few minutes
before sentence was passed and sat
near her husband. DR.. Hyde seemed
happy and smiled even after sentence
was passed.
''It now becomes my duty to pass
sentence on you," said Judge Lat
shaw. A convulsive gasp from Mrs.
Hyde caused a brief halt.
Have you anything to say?" con-
tinued the judge.
Nothing" Hyde replied
Then it is the sentence of the
court that you be confined in the
State penitentiary at Jefferson City

DR.. Hyde bowed his head, but still
smiled. His wife paled, but made no
demonstration.

BETTER THAN SPANKING.

Spanking does not cure children of bed

for this trouble. Mrs. M. Summers, Box

mother her successful home treatment, with
full instructions. Send no money, but
IN his way. Don't blame the child. the
chances are it can't help it. This treatment
also cures adults and aged people troubled

Likes The Caucasian Better Than Any
Other State Paper-It is Bold in
Telling the Truth.

Mr.. Editor:-I subscribed for The
Caucasian while a member of the
Legislature of 1898. | have read it
continuously ever since, and I wish
to say that | then liked it better than
any State paper that l took. I think
more of it to-day than all of the rest
combined. I like it because it is bold
in telling the truth. When it dis
agrees with it's own party leaders, it
says so. 1t pursues the policy of ap-
proving the right and condemning the
wrong in men of both parties.
am glad that you feel justified in
enlarging the paper, and hope you
will be able to give a special price
for the campaign.
I agree with you about sending
our best men to the State Conven-
ton, but I do not think that because
man happens to be postmaster, or
holds some other office. he should be
debarred from going as a delegate.
The question is, Which does he think
the most of, his Office or the people ?
If he will betray the interest of the
party to hold his job, then let him
stay at home. If to the contrary he
is willing to give up his job to serve
the people, then send him, for we
need him there.
With best wishes I am,
Yours truly,

FULL OF GOOD THOUGHTS
Prof. J. D. Conder Delivered Baccalau- reate Address Before Large Audi
 ence at M. E. Church, Souuth.

AS previously announced in The Star, Prof. J. D. Conder of Texarkana, delivered the bacca- laureate address to the graduat- ing class for 1910 of the Mena High school Sunday morning. Though seats were supplied for all available space in the large auditorium, every one was occu- pied and many stood in the aisles through the services. The grad uates, the members of the school board and the faculty occupied seats directly in front of the pull pit.
 A splendid service of song was provided by the choir of the Pres byterian church, and ths music was excellent. A feature was a solo by Miss Ola Lewis.
 The Rev. M. K. Irwin. pastor of the M. E. church, South, intro duced Prof. Conder with a few appropriate remarks, when the professor at once launched into his address by his earnest manner and his words attracting and holding the closest attention.
 He pointed in the beginning ft Moses as a man whose great knowledge, acquired by faithfu instruction durlng his early years cave him the power to lead hi' neople in later years. and i'm pressed upon hearers the eyer ereater necessity of early prepara t,ou for Iife's work in moderr times. He made remarkable plea, too. for clean life, laying stress on this as applied to mer as we'll as women. Al the cios' of the address it was the expres sion of all that it should hav'
 been heard by every man' woma' and child in Mena.
