BOOZER CONVICTED; HIPP FREE
Death Sentence Pronounced on New
berry Negro.

Newberry, June 14.-"Guilty' as
to the negro, Sam Boozer, and mot
guilty" as to John G. Hipp, was the
verdict of the jury this afternoon in
the case against the two defendants,
charging them with murder in the
killing, by Boozer, of James S. Gil
liam, Hipp's overseer at old town,
on March 3, last. A motion for a
new trial was noted by Boozer's coun-
sci, and by agreement this motion
will be heard by Judge Gary during
the Laurens court mex; week. Boozer
was sentenced to pay the death pen
atty on the third Friday in August
the 18th. The jury retired at 5:2O
o'clock this afternoon and the verdict
was returned fifty minutes later.
Should there be no interference
with the sentence imposed to-day
the execution of Boozer will be the
first legal execution in this county IN
about fourteen years. During Sher-
iff Buford's first year in Office, in
1897, he hanged Tony Lyles for Grim
inal assault.
Self-Defence pleaded.
The testimony introduced on be-
half of Boozer to-day was largely
that of negro eye-witnesses to the
killing. The plea of self-defence
was interposed, and the fact that
Boozer's wife and daughter had been
slashed by the deceased were also
urged in mitigation. The negro wit
nesses testified that the deceased put
his hand in his hip pocket, as ne
walked towards Boozer, when coming
out of his house, and then turned
around to go back in the house, tell
ing Boozer to wait until he got his
gun, when Boozer fired.
Boozer's wife and daughter told
of their difficulty with Gillian and
on cross-examination the State d.
rected it's efforts towards showing
that it was only after Mrs. Gillian
went down to the home of these ne
gro women that Gillian became in
censed at the women.
Deny Being Tattlers.
The negro women, when pressed
by Solicitor Cooper, strenuously de-
MED that Gillian accused them of be.
ing carriers of news to his wife.

TARHEEL CASHIER A SUICIDE.
Tragedy Follows Discovery Of $780,
600 Shortage in Tarboro Bank.

Tarboro, N. c., June 14.-Cashier
Luther V. Hart, of the Bank Of Tar
boro, is dead, and Assistant Cashier
E. B. Hussel is in Jail here with a
charge of completely in the misap-
preparation of s50,o0O of the banks
funds. This morning, J. K. Dough
, ton, State bank examiner, arrived to
inspect the bank, Hart died from
self-inf1icted wound, and the expos
ure of Hussel followed shortly after
ward.
This morning Examiner DoGGhton
called at the bank for the purpose of
making his regular inspection of the
affairs of the bank. The examina-
ton was deferred until this after
noon, and Hart remained at his post
until the regular dinner hour. Co.
ing home for dinner, he went direct
ly to his room and a few minutes
later his wife was startled to hear
the report of a pistol. Rushing to
the room, she found Hart lying
across the bed with a bullet hole
through his head. He died two hours
later without having regained con-
sciousness.
The misappropriation, it is believ-
ed, will not exceed $4,000. Mr..
Hart had been interested in numer-
Gus business transactions.
Following the exposure, the affairs
of the bank were placed in charge
of State officials and they immedi-
ately closed it's doors, pending fur
ther investigation. The institution
has a capital of $4,000. Its de-
posits aggregate more than $780,
600.
Hart was about thirty-five years
of age and was a member of one OF
the most prominent families in East
ern North Carolina.

DIES AS HE FORETOLD.
Man Apparently in Good Health Pro-
phesies Death Month Ahead.

Just as he predicted more than a
month ago Frank Lugar of Lambert
Vile, Pa, died on Thursday at noon
at St. Francis hospital, in Trenton,
N. J. The case is one of the most
remarkable that has ever come to
the notice of local medical practi-
TONERS.
Lugar was in perfect health ap-
parently when he solemnly told his
relatives that at noon on May rs he
would breathe his last. They only
laughed at him. Then he was taken
i'll with some minor trouble and went
to the hospital. His ailment was
slight but his prediction had been
made known to the doctors and
nurses, and Lugar's case was watch
ed with much interest. He reiter-
ated time and again that at noon on
May 25 he would die.
May Is arrived and Lugar was
seemingly in good condition. At
1880 O'Clock he was talking with
the attendants, apparently in the best
of spirits. They were watching him
with the greatest care at this time.
At 11:45 he began to grow pale and
weak, and at IL o'clock the man
breathed his last. Death was due to
acute dilatation of the heart, an en-
tirely different ailment than the one
from which the patient was suffering
when admitted to the institution.

win crowns. Can we consistently
call ourselves a Christian nation,
when we consider the enormous
amount of liquors consumed by the
people of the United States? I tell
you it is a misnomer. We are Chris
tians in name only, because we are
bringing forth evil fruits. 1t is a
shame on us that we are tagging
in moral reform when China, a
heather nation, with her teeming
poulation, is making such rapid
strides in stamping out the opium
traffic. She is succeeding beyond her
most sanguine expectations, and is
teaching us lesson. Yet we have
had greater opportunities. Beware
how you abuse them!
Although China is trying to make
amends for her past, still she can
not escape the consequences of sin,
and she is now undergoing the hor-
rors of a famine, with thousands
dying daily. What fate awaits US?
We must reap what we SOW. Each
day we are adding to the bitter har-
vest of woe ahead. A man cannot
take poison into his system and es-
cape the consequences. Beware lest
the kingdom of God be taken away
from you and given to a nation
bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Hear this ye thirsty ones. Drink
of the living waters and you will
never thirst again. The devil prom
ises much, but gives little; give him
a peremptory dismissal, and invite
Christ, the rightful owner, in. ''If
the Son make you free, then are ye
free indeed" How can we escape If
we neglect so great salvation? "Be
wise to-day; it's madness to defer"

TALE OF GRAFT IN NEW YORK
New Man Demanded $500 and Might
Have Had $4,000.

This is a little story of New York
graft, according to the New York;
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times-Star. Unfortunately, the
names may not be used. But it has
been the custom of a corporation in
this city to pay sort of retaining
fee to the holder of certain political
Office, just to be let alone. The cor
poration heads did not ask anything
else from the oficeholder. They
merely did not want to be prodded
by crusades which presumably had
an origin in desire for reform. The
graft payment for years had been
$4,000. "We'll likely have to pay
more, now that So-and-so is in Of
fice," said they, when certain man
was elected. "He has the name of
being very grasping."
So they sent an intermediary to
the newly elected of1ceholder, with
power to negotiate. They were will
ing to pay $4,000, if necessary, but
not a penny more. The usual pre-
liminaries were gone through. "Your
company will have to come over, "
said the officeholder. "I'm no cheap
man. I know you've been paying
right along, and you'll have to pay
me more than you have been giving
up to this Office in the past. When
I go grating I go right" And he
swelled up and looked very import
ant. The intermediary was fright
ened. He asked very humbly how
much the officeholder would demand.
'Not a penny less than $500 a
year." said the officeholder, sternly.
The sum was paid, and it was not
until the oficeholder had been out
of office for months that he learned
the scale on which previous pay
ments had been made. The informa-
ton actually sent him into decline.
He grieved so over it that he actu-
ally lost his health. If one mentions
large sum of money in his presence
nowadays he's apt to burst into tears.

BOMBsHELL AT LEXINGTON.
Grand Jury Makes Sensational RI
port in Magisterial Middle.


Lexington, June 14.-The tide
turned to-day in the magisterial mud
die in the fourth district, when the
Lexington county grand jury COM
ple1ely exonerated E. H. Addy, the
primary nominee, of having commit
ted any wrong, and presented H. O.
Adams for Offering 5ribes 10 secure
afidavits,. and George E. Caughman
for perjury. The finding of the grand
jury is as follows:
"That one H. z. Adams did offer
bribes to certain parties as an in
ducement for them to sign certain
of the affidavits now before US, and
that D. H. Price and A. P. Jumper
are the witnesses to prove this fact.
1--WE also find that George E.
Caughman has committed perjury by
swearing to a certain affidavit now
before us, and that Bron D. Shealy,
A. B. Jumper, j. q. Taylor and j.
Ansel Caughman are the witnesses
to prove this fact.
1--WE, therefore recommend that
bills of Indictment be preferred
against these parties, charging them
with these violations of law.
eve also conclude from this in
yestigation that E.. H. Addy should
be exonerated from the charge OF
participating or engaging in any ir-
Irregularities in the conduct or nan
agement of said primary election for
said magistrate, or in any manner
violating law and rules governing
said election
H. z. Adams is one of the largest
planters and merchants in the coun-
ty, and has always been prominent
in the community where he resides.
George E. Caughman is also a farm
er and is well connected. These par
ties will, it is understood, fight the
case to the bitter end.
The finding of the grand jury
means that E. H. Addy will now as
sumo the duties of magistrate in the
fourth district, as Gov. Blease will
doubtless issue the commission as
soon as the papers in the case reach
the governors Office.
The sentiment Of the general pub
lie has been with Mr.. Addy all along,
because of the fact that he was elect
ed only after a third primary had
been ordered. Much feeling has been
engendered in the case, and the hot
test part of the fight it seems has
just begun. 1t is said on reliable in
formation that a warrant will be Is
sued at an early date, charging an
outside party, who is also prominent,
with treating" with whiskey on the
day of the third primary election,
which will be the first case of the
kind ever tried in the courts of this
State. Court adjourned for the term
this afternoon.

How to Get Into the Spiritual World

s'verily, verify, I say unto thee,
except a man be born again he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God"
''That which is born of the flesh
is flesh; but that which is born of
the spirit is spirit"
''God is a spirit; and they that
worship him, must worship him in
spirit and in truth
These are the words of our Saviour
to Nicodemus, a ruler Of the Jews,
who went to inquire of him concern
Ing his souls salvation. (See John
III.) He found 1t hard to under
stand, SO Christ said: 'The wind
bloweth where it listeth, and thou
nearest the sound thereof, but canst
not tell whence it cometh, or whittier
it goeth; 80 is every one that Is born
Of the spirit" Spiritual regenera-
ton is known by it's results. "A
good tree bringeth forth good
fruit You may give a person
minute instructions how to swim,
but he will never fully understand
It, until he puts his theories into
practice. So it is in spiritual affairs,
we must actually experience a
change of heart, before we can get
into this higher world. AS descend
ants of Adam we all inherit sinful
natures. This inclination to do evil
can be taken away by Christ, and a
new nature put in it's stead. Is not
that a miracle? It is fact that
many men are so thoroughly ruled
by the evil one, that they rarely ever
have pure. thought; this nature
can be entirely changed so that he
will loathe his old life, and will de-
sire things that are honest, true, and
Of good report. 1t is wonderful to
think that a man, after falling so
low, can be made clean again. Sure
Iy there is not one who could object
to such a change.
The great need of our country to-
day is not wealth but men-'men
who know the right, and, knowing,
dare maintain" First get the men
straight and everything else will soon
be properly adjusted. Is not this ga
consummation devoutly to be wish
ed?" To bring about this marvellous
change, read your hearts, be truly
sorry and earnestly repent of your
wicked deeds. "Cease to do evil;
learn to do WE'LL" Stop now, right
about, face! Turn your backs
squarely on the past; resolve, with
Gods, help, you are going to lead a
clean, pure life. Leave the broad
way that leads to destruction, and
get in the narrow way that leads to
life eternal. Believe me, you will
never regret it.
Of the immortal trio, Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, the latter seems to
have had less of the divine nature
and more of the human. His de-
sires were centered chiefly >on this
worlds goods. To gain his ends he
would resort to deceit and trickery.
Consequently, we find he had to
strive very earnestly, wrestling with
the angel one whole night before he
obtained a blessing. He made up
for his shortcomings by his earnest
ness. After that he was given a new
name, Israel, meaning prince. The
degree of earnestness with which you
strive will determine the measure of
vour blessing. Valuable things are
not so easily gotten. Every diff
Guilty you overcome makes you that
much stronger.
We must go at this business OF
saving souls, like any other, with all
our hearts, if we would succeed.

PINNED UNDER WAGON
IN SWAMP UP TO HEAD,
Man Is Finally Rescued by
Comrades With Rope.

JERSEY CITY, April 6.-Buried to
his neck in q swamp, pinned down
under an overturned wagon and held
above the mud and water only by a
rope he managed to fasten about his
waist, and which was held by half a
dozen men on shore, Barney Hayes, a
teamster, passed through an hour OF
agony at the head of Wayne street
this morning.
When ne vas finally rescued he was
unconscious, but is o rapidly recov-
ering in the City Hospital.
Hayes is employed with a two-horse
dump cart, hauling earth from the sub
way which the Hudson Tunnel Com
pany is constructing under Railroad
avenue, in Jersey City.
All the earth taken from the excava.
ton is being hauled to the head Of
Wayne. street, where 1t is being used tt
fill in a great swamp. About 4 O'CLOCK
this morning Hayes hauled a cartloa6
of earth to the dump and backed his
team to the edge of the hill. The horses
failed to stop promptly and the wager
vent owe the dump, dragging the team
N driver with them.
Hayes, fortunately, was thrown clear
of the struggling horses, but fell so
close to the wagon that one of the
wheels caught his foot and pinned him
down in the mud and water. A dozen
or more men working on the dump
secured a rope and threw it to him. He
managed to fasten it about his waist
in such a way thai by hauling on the
rope the other workmen managed to
