on farm adjoining Mr.. Tom Overton
at whose home the young girl spent the
day while her father and mother were
visiting friends in Oxford Miss San
ders had been about the house help
ing with the killing of the hogs and in
the afternoon returned to her home be-
tween and 5 O'Clock, when it was
thought that her father and mother
would have returned from Oxford.
Nothing more was heard from her until
the neighbors were aroused by the flames
from the burning house and then found
that hideous crime had been commit
ted.
Nathan Montague, the accused negro,
had been helping with the hog killing
and left the house of Mr.. Overton about
the same time that Miss Sanders left. He
was at once suspected, as the butcher
knife which he had been using during the
day was foud at the scene of the crime.
Sheriff Wheeler went at once to his house
and arrested him. Bloody garments
were found in the house, and when the
prisoner was examined in the Durham
jail shis morning blood was found on his
underclOthes and long hairs were found
caught in his clothing.
The negro was later carried to Raleigh
and placed in the States prison for safe
keeping.

Poison Proved Fatal.

1t is with regret that we learn OF
the death of Rev. p. N. Stainback oil
Weldon, which occurred Monday
morning. The cause of death was a
deadly poisOn-corrosive sublimate-
taken by mistake. Intending to take
"A dose OF medicine Mr. Stainback
swallowed the poison instead. After
suffering intense agony for six days
death resulted from the fatal
draught.
The Weldon correspondent OF the
News and Observer writing undre
date Dec. 10Th, saws:
Rev. P. n. Stainback, member-elect
from Halifax in the House of Representa-
tives in the next General Assembly, died
at his home here this morning at s
O'Clock. He took a deadly poison by
mistake Tuesday last, and since that
time he has suffered intense agony. His
condition was somewhat favorable yes
terday, but the end came this morning.
Mr.. Stainback was a native of Bruins
Wick county, Va. and was born Novem-
Der Z, 1871. He served with cOnspicu-
Gus bravery throughout the war be-
tween the states and surrendered at APP
pomatox Court House on that memoir
able April 9, 1865.
Mr.. Stainback came to Weldon in 1881,
and since that time he has been closely
identified with the business interests of
the town. He was licensed in 1887 a
local preacher in the Methods Episco-
pal church, and in all church work he
was ever loyal and active.

HORRIBLE CRIME COMMITTED.

Three Persons Murdered aud Their
Bodies Burned In the t1ome That
Sheltered Them-CrimlnaI Assault
on Young Woman Added to Crimes
of Murder and Arson-Scene nf Aw-
full Occurrence in Granville County
Near ties,er-Negro Who Committed
Triple Felony Promptly Arrested
and Held For Trial.
From the Durham Sun of Tuesde J
afternoon the following account of
the terrible crimes committed near
Hester, in Granville county, Monday
night, is taken:
One of the most atrocious crimes in
the history of the State was committed
last night near Hester, when a negro,
Nathan Montague, criminally assaulted
Miss Matte Saunders, aged 20 years,
afterwards cutting her throat with
large knife, killed her father, Legion
Sanders, and a 4-year-old grandchild,
and then placed the bodies in the bouse
and burned their home. A posse quickly
gathered and a lynching was narrowly
averted, Sheriff s. NJ. Wheeler, escaping
with the negro and bringing him to this
city, arriving here this morning at Z
o'clock.
Mr. Sanders yesterday morning took
his wife to Oxford to visit friends, re-
turning to his home he assisted a neigh
Dor in killing hogs. His daughter and
granddaughter were also at the killing,
as was the negro who helped in the
work. Shortly after the members OF the
family returned to their home last night,
the young girl was attacked just ou tside
OF the house by the negro, and from the
appearance OF the ground, the girl put
up hard fight for her life. Blood was
found all around the house, and the
knife that the negro had used during the
day was found covered with blood. The
bodies OF the three were found huddled
together in the charred ruins OF the
home.
The first alarm given the neighbors OF
the awful tragedy was when they saw
the house ablaze. They hurried to the
scene to assist in ex tinguishing the flames,
when to their horror they saw that one
OF the darkest crimes in the annals of
the State had been committed A posse
was soon formed and Sheriff Wheeler
was notified. He hurried to the home
OF the negro, upon whom suspicion fell,
and found him there bathing. He was
hustled into buggy and brought at
break neck speed to this city for safe
keeping.
Mr.. Sanders was man about 60 years
old. He was a we'll TODD farmer, living

The paper is twenty-nine years old
having been started December 10,

There has been no change in the
management-and at some perlo dis
of its career there was none in the
cash drawer.
But the paper has lived and gather
ed strength with the increasing years
1t has made friends-and some
enemies-fOr which we are thankful.
The people OF Henderson and Vance
county have been very good to the
GOLD LEAF. They have paid for and
praised it, deadbeat and damned it,
ms is the common lot of all for these
twenty-nine years.
Looking back over the past we
have much to be very thankful for
and to our friends and patrons who
have made it possible to keep the
craft af1oat and steer it thus far on
the uncertain sea OF journalism which
doth so easily engulf the country

Without their support-moral as we'll

With their continued kindly con-
sideration and good offices we hope
to do better.
And now at this blessed season OF

APIARY ON ROOF.

In the fall the asters and golden
rod furnish great flow of honey"
And look at the big profits in
such a hobby. An ordinary hive
of about $4,000 bees is worth
$2.4S. But that s2.4S worth of
bees will produce 81 worth of
honey in an average season, be-
sides what they store up for
their own winter use.
The department of agriculture
has issued a bee bulletin, directed
not so much to the man on the
farm as it is to the city amateur
beeman. And one of the first
things the bulletin states is that
the amateur is liable to get stung,
literally and figuratively. A sue
cessful honey factory depends al
together upon a thorough knowl-
edge of bees. Neglected bees are
grouchy, only storing enough
honey for their own use and sting
ing everybody who comes around.
The intelligent handling of
bees, however, makes them work
hard. The harder a bee works
the less liable she is to sting.
But even a failure isn't costly.
A letter to your congressman or
the department, asking for the bee
bulletin, will bring you one.

Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 8.
F. O'Rourke, the engineer
whose wonderful underground
dream, the Pennsylvania tunnels
under the North river in New
York, has come true, has had
another subterranean vision that
astounds navy engineers on ac-
count of its simplicity and mag
nitude. Mr.. O'Rourke wants to
raise the Maine in Havana harbor
he plans to bring the historic
wreck to the surface in such a
condition that the navy officials
can see 1t just as it appeared a
moment after the explosion, ex-
cept, of course. for the ravage of
time and the water.
O'Rourke would drive a wharf
of piles on either side of the
wreck. He would then sink cas-
sions, such as are used in the con-
struction of foundations, along
the sides of the wreck, and from
the bottom of these caissons he
would dig small tunnels under
the hull to the opposite caissons.

Correspondence

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 8.
There was much newspaper
hilarity occasioned by the recent
discovery of full-fledged, work
ing apiary, or group of bee colo
MES, improving each shining hour
and storing up honey on top of
one of the downtown New York
skyscrapers.
Investigation showed that this
apiary is owned by the A. 1. Root
Co. of Medina, o., the most extern
sive bee dealers in America. At
tention was attracted to this met
ropolitan branch of the Medina
concern by loud and vigorous
kick from candymakers, who
complained that the naughty bees
were robbing their candy trays.
Then it was discovered that New
York is taking up the bee fad in
great shape, and many a clerk
adds to his weekly income by
keeping hive or two on the roof
or IN the back yard.
But New York's hilarity was
ill-timed. DR.. E. r. Phillips, api-
culture chief in the department
OF agriculture and generally &C
knowledged to be the "heftiest
guy" on bee lore in these domin-
ions, and he says that of the total

1t is expected that the body of
Mr.. Scott will arrive in Portland

will then be given over to the
charge of the Masons, who will es-
cort the body to the Scottish Rite
