Historically. sheep scab Is one of
the Oldest diseases OF sheep. but its
cause was not discovered until about
the middle of the nineteenth century
(1S35), when the agent producing the
disease was found to be a very small
mite. This mite is light gray in color
and the female is one-fortieth and the
male one-sixtieth OF an inch In length
In general appearance the mite re-
sembles tiny spider. 1t has four
pairs of legs. the last being very
small. and the third pair having long
thread-like appendages which are
longer in the female than in the male.
The mite crawls very slowly. showing
that its power of locomotion is weak.
A female will lay from ten to twenty
eggs during her lifetime. These eggs
are SO small that they cannot be dis
tinguished with the naked eye. The
period of incubation is from four to
ten days. depending mainly upon tenn
perature. Gerlach. noted authority,
estimates the descendants OF single
female to be 100000 females and
100000 males at the end of 80 days.
He estimates the average number Of
eggs from single female to be 15.
ten of which hatch females and FIVE
males. and allows 15 days for each
generation.

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Asheville, Oct. 20.-Ernest Webb, a 10
year-old boy who is charged with felon-
iousIy killing his 1o-year-old sister, Mary
Webb, about two weeks ago at their home
III Leicester township, near Newfound, was
gwen a preliminary hearing before Magis-
trate W. R. Gudger. The hearing was

From the evidence introduced the court
held that the boy was guilty at least Of
an assault with a deadly weapon and so
would have to be bound to a higher court.
The only question then to consider was
what the amount of the bond should be.
The solicitor, Robert r. Reynolds, said
that in the Superior court he might ask
for Il verdict Of first degree murder, but
that it would more likely be manslaughter
and he thought that a $1,000 bond would

amount of the bond was finally fixed at
81 600.
Claim Shooting Was Accidental.
The only witnesses heard were those put
on by the state, as the defense offered no
evidence in rebuttal. The first of these
testified IS TO the deed, all being near the
scene Of the killing when it occurred. and
said ut that t me, as they have since con-
tended, that the shooting was accidental.
mother Of the boy had said that Ernest
bad been fooling with the gun in the
house for some time and she had asked
him to stop it. Finally he had remarked,
Lookout / am going to shoot" and this
was immediately followed by the report
Of the gun and the girl fell dead. The
boy stated to them at the time that he
did not know the gun was loaded and
was only fooling with it. The witnesses
said that he did not appear as much
grieved over it as the others.
The State introdueed other witnesses in
an attempt to prove a motive for the deed.
Among these were a small boy who had
heard the brother and sister quarrelling
one day a short while before the killing
on their way from school and said that
Ernest had said he would get even with
her, and a young lady who lived near by
who saw the boy whip his sister only a
few days before the fatal incident while
they were at work in the field together.
The most revolving thing Of all, however,
was the evidence given by NJ. D. Shook,
another %neighbor, who said that the boy
had made a confession to him, in the
presence of two others, on the day be-
fore concerning his relations with his
sister. He said he had told him then that
such a state Of affairs would have to
cease and told him that if the law should
be brought to bear upon him he might
be sent up. The defense objected siren
uously to this and it may be That the
higher court will rule it out.

THE EDDY CONCERT.
Famous Organist Is Heard to Good
Advantage.

The organ concert given at the First
Baptist church Monday night by Mr..
Clarence Eddy on the pipe organ pre-
sented by Jno. r. Mulvane ranks
nigh among the musical treats of the
season. The program opened with
Bach's Fantasia and F'ugue in G Mi
nor, a masterpiece written especially
for the organ in the profound style of
the old German composers It was
followed by two French compositions
of the same period, showing the light
ness and melodfc beauty of the ma
tiona1 school.
One of the new compositions,
"Evensong," by Johnston, was beau
tfful number, especially suited to the
organ. The heaviest numbers of the
evening were a modern sonata in E
Minor by Rogers and the overture to
William Tell, arranged by Dudley
Buck. Schubert's tone poem. by the
Sea- frequently played in piano con-
| played on the organ by a master.
The closing number on the program
was Festival March, dedicated to Mr.
Eddy. Mr.. Eddy's arrangement of the
the lighter numbers alternating in
such a way as to bring out their
strength and delicacy by contrast.
1.-THE organ is really a virtuoso in
| strument," Mr.. Eddy says, land re-
quires a technique all its own The
tagging touch that often belongs to or
gan players is fatal to a good per-
| Torrance and nimbleness and velocity
| of movement is as necessary for the
organ it is for the piano Organ
| lists themselves have fostered the idea
| that the organ was not suitable for
concert work by stupidity playing moth
| ing but sornber music.
Mr.. Eddy's playing is vigorous and
mastery, and the sentiment voiced in
the tones he produces is always domi-
mated by strong musical intelligence.
Mr. Eddy will go from here to Kan
sas City, where he will dedicate a
