Held for Murder.

Hampton, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Ella
Wheeler Wells and Owen Robinson
are in the Hampton county jail,
charged with the murder of G. Wal
ker Winn at Fechtig, in this county,
on September II, 1910. The warrant
of arrest was issued by Magistrate
]. G. Murdaugh yesterday, on an affi-
davit by Mrs. Lizzie Terry, mother Of
the deceased young man. Mrs.
Wells was arrested on yesterday and
Mr.. Robinson came to Hampton this
morning and surrendered to the sher-
iff.
The tragic death of Walker Vim
created quite a sensation in this sec
ton of the country. The coroner's
jury considered the case for period
covering six months and finally rem
dered the verdict that the deceased
came to his death from mercurial
poisoning administered by a person
or persons unknown to the jurors.
At the little village of Fechtig,
Walker Winn clerked in the store OF
Mrs. Wells, at that time Miss Wheel
er. It seems that the young man did
not get along well in his home with
his young wife, Lillian Winn, and
they had separated. On the after
noon Of September II, 1910, he was
suddenly taken ILL. When medical
aid arrived, it was found that he had
symptoms of acute Indigestion and
apoplexy, the pupils Of his eyes were
widely dilated and. soon afterwards
he died. A jury Of inquest was en-
paneled, and proceeded to inquire
into the cause of his death. They
recommended that the contents OF
the stomach be analyzed.
The physician acted on the recon-
mendation and the stomach was sent
to a Columbia chemist, w. Boyden
Minis. A negative report was made
on the analysis after three weeks
and the jury made other requests.
The body Of young Winn was disin-
tered and was found to have turned
black the intestines and contents
were then sent to the same chemist
and his report stated that an analysis
Of these organs revealed the pres
ence of IL miligrams Of mercuric
chloride, which, If administered in
the form of corrosive sublimate, was
suficient to cause death. The physi-
clans testified that no mercury was
administered by them.

Concert Monday Night.

The Tyrolean-Alpine Singers will
give concert at the Carlisle Fitting
School auditorium next Monday
night, February 18th. This COM
pany is making a tour of the cities
and larger towns of the State, and
was secured to give concert here on
an off-night. There are five men and
two ladies in the company, and it is
one of the highest priced attractions
ever brought here.
These singers will appear in their
beautiful native costumes, play on
native musical instruments, sing ma
tive songs. In addition to these they
sing many of the great English and
American songs.
The New York Sun says: 1T is
surprising how much genuine music
and real art these lads and lassies
from the Tyrol put into beautifully
diversified program. The ensemble
was so perfect that the best trained
festival choruses might have had
cause to envy it,
The st. Louis Post-Dispatch says:
s'St. Louisians have probably never
heard such blending of naturally
beautiful voices as from this COM
pany."
It is not often that we have such
an opportunity in Bamberg. Tell
yor friends about it, get your tickets
early, and go to this concert.

'FARMING AS A LIFE-WORK."
Lecture at Carlisle Fitting School by
Senator Summers.

The series of life-work lectures,
which have been planned to be given
at the Carlisle Fitting School, began
last Friday night with a lecture by
Senator S. j. Summers, of Calhoun
county, on Farming as a Life
Work" While the lectures are in
tended primarily for the students OF
the school, the general public Is in
vited and a good audience was pres
ent to hear Senator Summers, among
them being some Of the largest farm
ers of Bamberg county.
For over an hour Senator Summers
charmed his hearers by telling them
the simple and yet wonderful story
Of life upon a real farm. He Is a
practical and successful farmer him
self and is complete master of the
subject, not only from the everyday,
practical standpoint but from a sci
entific standpoint as well.
Senator Summers began by con-
trasting life on the farm before the
war, when the farmers we're little
more than overseers Of their groups
OF slaves. Immediately after the
war, when the homes and farms were
devastated, and the present day,
when men are making study of the
farm from scientific standpoint and
going into farming as life work:
He pictured, in the most interesting
manner just what a young man with
training and determination could do
upon farm. -
!, The burden of Seantor Summers's
address was plea for educated
young men upon the farm. He de-
clared that the day is forever past
when men will not need tsbook learn
ing to make successful. aggressive
farmers. This he illustrated by show
ing the necessity of a farmer under
standing the mixture Of his fertil-
izers, with view both to the nour-
;ishment of the plant and the im-
provement Of the soil. He also Illus
'trated it by discussion Of seed se-
lection, scientific drainage and the
general necessity Of keeping posted
on all farming methods and improve
ments. 5$. 80. -;
Eve need men on the farm, de-
clared the speaker, "who can do their
own thinking; men who are indus
trious and will make their entire
farm garden; men who will not
plant hundred acres of cotton and
call themselves farmers, but will
make corn, and to sell; meat and to
sell; butter, chickens, eggs and all
that goes to make a. real farm. Why
should we send thousands of dollars
to the West for corn and meat when
we can produce them at home p
Senator Summers's address was
helpful and greatly enjoyed.
The next lecture in the series will
be given next Friday evening. Feb

Why Savings Banks Are Essential

Because people having money to invest
are often tempted by designing persons
to go into schemes which, while promis-
ing large returns, usually bring disaster.
Probably there are no more shrewd,
far-sighted, conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study of investments their life
work; who pass upon all applications
for loans and Investments; and it is a
fact which anyone can verify by getting
the insurance companies reports, tFat
four to five per cent interest is all these
companies are able to make their loans
average.
Those schemers who would go to un-
sophisticated women or inexperienced
men and tell them that they could just
as well get six per cent as four, well
know that if their schemes were solid
substantial and safe, they could borrow
money by the million from these life in
surance companies.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company OF Hyde Park never
takes a note paying ever six per cent
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six per
cent, it turns it down, because it wants
no better evidence that it is dangerous
than the fact that it offers to pay more
than six per cent.
What is the result?
In its more than twenty-three years of
existence, this bank has never lost a
dollar by poor note.
Safety rather than high rates of in
terest." is its motto; and, knowing this,
depositors, not only from Vermont, but
from every State in the Union Except
three select the Hyde Park Bank as
place of deposit for their savings.
You can send your funds there by mail
with absolute safety, and it is perfectly
safe to send them either in registered
letter, postal money order, bank draft,
personal check or express money order
During the entire existence of the
Hyde Park Bank not dollar sent to it
by mail has ever been lost
This bank pays four per cent, com
pounded semi-annually, and pays all
taxes.
If you want to know all about its as
sets, liabilities, management, etc, adj
dress letter to Carroll s. Page, Presi
dent, or F. NJ. Culver, Treasurer, Hyde
Park, Vermont, asking therefor, and
you will receive prompt reply.
