will begin on Sunday. The tent

Messrs Burke and Hobbs are recog-

It has been currently reported that
the churches of Pocahontas have
guaranteed large sum of money to
these preachers to come here and hold
this revival, but we wish to state that
such is not the case. Not a single
cent has been guaranteed for any
purpose, nor haze they asked for any
amount. Nobody is bound to pay
anything. OF course there will be
some expenses but nobody will have
to pay anything unless they so de-

FLOYD ALLEN TO DIE
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
Two of Desperadoes Escaped to Hills
and Have Eluded All Pursuit

Two of Desperadoes Escaped to Hills
and Have Eluded All Pursuit
Wytheville, Va, May 17.-Floyd
Allen, first of the Hillsville mountain
GERS tried for the Carroll County
Courthouse murders, was adjudged
guilty here today and will pay the
penalty of his crime in the electric
chair at Richmond. The jury was
out all night.
Floyd Allen was charged specifically
at this time with the murder of Com
monwealth Attorney Foster, Prose-
cutor in the Carroll County Court at
Hillsville last March, when the trial of
Floyd Allen eliminated in the killing
of five persons-Presiding Judge
Thornton L. Massie, Prosecutor Will
liam M. Foster, Sheriff l.. F. Webb,
Miss Elizabeth Ayres, and Juror
Augustus Fowler.
Arrests of several of the Aliens fol-
lowed the shooting, but five of the
principals escaped to the mountains.
Rewards for their arrest resulted in
three of them being taken, but Sidna
Allen, leader of the clan, and Wesley
Edwards, his nephew, are at large.
The other prisoners, it is expected,
will be tried Immediately.

Lamps to Guide Bullets.

London, May l9.-An invention of
special interest to sportsmen, and, in
fact, to all versed in the use of fire
arms, has just been completed. II
consists of an electric flash lamp
fixed directly under the front sight OF
the gun or revolver, thus enabling
wild-game hunters to continue their
sport by night.
The two principal features of the
invention are that the sportsman can
with the aid Of the flash determine
the exact position of the object he in
tends firing at, in darkness; further,
should the object be an animal, the
flash would not only dazzle its vision
but would momentarily terrify it;
secondly, the two lines, one decend-
ing from the top of the lens just under
the muzzle and intersecting another
horizontal line at high section of the
reflector's sphere, enable the assail-
ant to hit the object without taking
aim, for whatever the flash throws
the tripod mark the bullet will hit
within half an inch.
The invention can be fitted to a re-
volver and would be especially useful
in the home for protection against
burglars.

cept in one or two small regions, and
these show only partial crop. At

Confederate Seal Found.

Richmond, Va, May 19.-An-
nouncement was made today that the
Great Seal of the Confederate States
of America, which disappeared half a
century ago, had been found, identi-
fled by the English makers and ac-
quired by Eppa Hunton, Jr., William
H. White and Thomas P. Bryan of
this city and brought back to Rich
mond, the old capitol of the Confeder-
ate States. The sacred relic was OBJ
tanned from Rear Admiral Thomas O..
Selfidge, U. S. N, retired, who got
it from Col. John T. Pickett. The
seal will be placed in the Confederate
Museum or the Battle Abbey, now
under construction.
The facts now show that the seal
was taken from Richmond on evacua-
ton by William j. Brownwell, clerk
or his wife, together with other Of
ficial papers Of the State Department.
The papers were sold by Bromwell
to the Government, through John T.
Pickett, in 1872 for $4,000. Capt.
Selfridge, now Rear Admiral Sell
fridge, was the Governments agent
in the transaction and was presented
with the seal to Col. Pickett in recog-
milton of his services. Selfridge
parted with the seal for a monetary
consideration.
