ence Was FoiIed When Governor
Mann Returned to Virginia.
Richmond, Va, March 28.-Mum-
bling a prayer and crying half audi |
bly, that he was ready TO go. Floyd
Allen, a lawless product OF the Vir-
ginia mountains, whose refusal to-
accept a short prison term for al
minor offense led to the Wholesale
court murder in Hillsyille one year
ago, limped to the death chair In the
State penitentiary today, eleven min
utes ahead of Claude Swanson Allen,
his son.
The sentence of the court, held up
for six hours while desperate and
dramatic efforts were being made to
save the condemned men by eleventh
hour appeals to the Lieutenant Gov
ernor, was speedily ordered TO pro-
coed when Governor Mann fastened
! back to Virginia soil to take charge
of a situation which was sensational
and exciting to degree. The pris-
on superintendent, acting entirely
within the law, agreed at 2 o'clock
this morning to defer the execution,
giving Attorney General Williams an
opportunity, meanwhile, to pass upon
the constitutional right of Lieuten-
ant Governor Ellyson to interfere.
But the young son of Governor
Mann reached his father in Phila-
delphia by telephone less than an
hour after the delay had been or
dered and by o'clock today the
Governor was again on Virginia soil
Incensed. as it afterward developed
by the unexpected effort to take ad
vantage of his temporary absence
when he had repeatedly refused
clemency, the Governor boarded ar
early train, arriving in Richmond al
1880 o'clock.
Men prominent in official circle!
of the State who waited in the Cap
ital for a final plea to the Governor
were turned away, as his secretar!
handed out this statement from thu
Executives:
Hearing at five minutes to
O'Clock this morning of the actor
taken in the Allen case after l lef
the city, considered it my duty t.
hurry back. / simply desire to re
peat that after the most careful ex
animation of the evidence in thi
case, 1 have not the slightest doub
of the guilt of Floyd and Claud
Allen, and l will not interfere. TIL

More Officers and Bigger Salaries.
Union Republican.

Union h0puDIlCdH.
The recent Legislature did it's share
towards increasing offices and sala-
ries in Forsyth County. 1t created
five new Offices and increased salaries
to an amount of some $4,000 per an
mum for the tax payers to settle. In
the last campaign in this county, the
issue was made By the Democrats on
Register of Deeds Lentz, who propos-
ed to fill the Office, if elected, with
out any extra compensation and for
his $4,000 salary per annum. But
his political friends and the Demo
cratic Legislature gave Register OF
Deeds Lentz a lemon by having bill
passed increasing the salaries OF
Sheriff George A. Flynt and Clerk OF
the Superior Court r. e. Transou
and left Mr.. Lentz out in the cold
If Republicans had created five new
offices and added 81 900 to the coun-
ty pay roll, Democrats would doubt
less have called for special legisla-
tion for impeachment proceedings OF
the appointment of extra officials IN
the vain fear that the county was go
ing to the bow-wows.

MOST ExTRAvAGANT LEGIsLa-
TURE.
Used Public Money to Pay Political
Debts-Proyided for Party Pets
But Could Not Properly Provide
for Schools.

after giving the Legislature credit
for what little credit is due 1t, the
Progressive Farmer makes the fol-
lowing criticism on the shortcomings
of that body:
Despite promises of reform at the
outset-and despite the fact that SO
good an authority as Mr. j. A. Brown
declared to the writer that $4,000
a session could be saved by ordinary
business economy-we predict that
the records will show that this Legis-
lature has been one of the most ex-
trayagant on record. The members,
as usual, started out by paying polit-
ical debts with public funds by en-
ploying an unnecessary number of
clerks, laborers, etc, and the men
deficit" when public schools were
mentioned, freely voted extra pay
and extra mileage to almost every
hcog in sight around them before ad-
iournment.
ct is also to the discredit of the
honorable body that almost before il
was allowed to do any other public
business and while the deficit
screamers' were red in the face
about almost every other appropria
ton, the lawyer members rushed
through a plan providing four new
| judges and four new solicitors ant
put the "clincher" on 1t SO that i
could not even be reconsidered to al
low one of the four to serve as spe
cial judge of the Torrens Land Cour
"a plan which would have been o
incalculable benefit"

Constantinople, April 1.-The Tur-
kish Government to-day announces
that it has unreseryedly accepted the
peace terms proposed by the Euro

Balkan war. The Turkish foreign Of
flee hand 1 the Ottoman acceptances

an expression of thanks to the pow

The Balkan allies and powers are
still not agreed on peace terms, so
the action does not necessarily mean
the end of the war.

Superior Court Judges Reversed.
StatesviIle Landmark.

In handing down decisions in four
teen cases this week the State Su-
preme Court upset the judgment or
the lower courts in eleven of the
fourteen cases. From which 1t would
appear that there is some difference
of opinion between Superior and Su-
preme Court Judges; and 1t may
mean that some Of the judges on the
Superior Court bench are not as good
lawyers as the position demands.

This is the Case With Many Norwich

Too many Norwich citizens are handicapped with bad backs. The un- ceasing pain causes constant misery making work a burden and stopping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest, and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and liniments may give relief but cannot reach the cause If the kidneys are weak. To eliminate the pains and aches of kidney back ache you must cure the kidneys.
 Dosns Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys thousands testify to their merit. Can you doubt Norwich evil rdence?

The big draw would have to be abolished and a lift of the cantilever type substf- tuted. To accomplish this an addition al pier would have to be built to hold one end of the lift. Part of the old draw could be utilized as a snan from the western end of the present draw to the center pier. By this arrange ment of lift a channel 150 feet is left directly in line with the same width of chafinel in the new bridge and with the lifts on both bridges open vessels could go through stle two openings un- hindered.
