day Afternoon TO Inquire into the death
OF little Arthur Williams. son Of Will
liam Williams, reached the verdict
that the child died from violence at
the hands of Its father.
The evidence brought out at the
Inquest revealed situation both pitt
full and revolving. Williams has been
married twice, his first wife being
the mother OF the three children,
two Of whom are now living, aged
six and eight. Tho other, the SUP
ject OF inquest, was between three and
four years OF age.
The second wife left the family
few weeks ago. stating, It is claimed,
that she could not stay owing to fear
that the father would do violence to
the children.
These three children since then have
been left alone In a destitute home
from daylight till dark to care for
themselves as best they could. The
Oldest boy states that they have only
had bread to eat. rarely ever any
meat or other food. The little boy
that died. Monday evening, Is report
ed to have been a very bright and
active child. but mischievous or bad.
The three children were visited last
Sunday by Mr.. Hunt, who has charge
Of the Mission Sunday School In that
end of town. He inquired into their
life. gaining the confidence OF the
Oldest boy and stayed with them till
night. The little boy. just before his
arrival. had set the window blind on
fire which came very near burning
the house. Mr.. Hunt reports that the
Oldest boy repeatedly said that his
father would beat the child TO death
when he returned.
A short time after dark Mr.. and
Mrs. Byrd. who live In a house only
a few feet from Williams, heard the
father return and q few moments
afterward, the screams OF the small
est child and its pleadings with its
father to stop whipping 1t. Then they
heard thud as II something had fall
len or had been thrust to the floor
and the crying ceased. A short time
afterward they heard the Oldest boy
crying. Nothing more was known OF
the happenings until Monday morn
ing about nine or ten o'clock when
the neighbors were called In by an
other little boy. who had CHANGED to
look in the house and found the
child unconscious on the floor by
the stove In which the fire had gone
out. A doctor was Immediately cal
led but nothing could be done for 4
death following about five In the
afternoon.
Williams was arrested after the
inquest and taken to Richmond Jail
by Deputy Sheriff johnson, Wednes-
day morning. where he will await the
action OF the Grand Jury. He mani
tested great indifference to the
charges and did not seem to be AZ
fected by the death of the child.
However. he declared his innocence.
The two little boys are to De taken
to the Orphan Home.
The State now steps In and offers
Its pound OF cure when a cure. of
is impossible. This terrible
deed ought to awaken this part Of
the country. at least. to the wisdom
Of prevention instead OF cure.

According to the June estimate of

per cent above the 1O-year average
for June. winter wheat sc below.
bats 2.7 above, barley 3 above and
rye 2 per cent below. If these indi-
cations were to be carried through
to harvest the bread grain should
continue to bring round prices. Feed
grain reported, is above the 10-year
average and if corn in its time should
come in above the 10-year average
then wheat n rye should tend to
range higher than the 1O-year, aver
age values. if the values were gov
erned entirely by the needs of this
country. and feed grains should be
relatively lower. During the last

country increased more rapidly than

call for a greater increase in the vol
Of breadstuffs than of feed stuffs.
With such conditions to continue
values of the former should be better

substitution of the cheaper for the
