Sweetest of Orchid Family.

Early last week l was handed a speci-
men of one of the most beautiful of the
spiked orchids. Orchis dilatata This
grows in a close spike of waxy white
flowers and the odor is the sweetest of
any of the orchid family and l am in
clined to think compares very favora bly,
with the very delicate and fragrant odor
of the twin flower, species of the
honeysuckle family, or the little star
flower of old messy woods-Moneses
grandif1ora-and of which last named
plant DIR. Gray termed the single de-
light
Il wish l could have taken the sun
rise section of the wanderlusters to visit
some of the places about Dover where
these beautiful flowers grow that ] have
mentioned. The rare plants are rapidly
disa appearing. however, and in almost
every woods or swamp are evidences of
recent chopping or draining, SO that it is
perhaps but a question of time before
many of these rare and beautiful plants
will entirely disappear from this neigh
borhood."

TOLBERT GETS DEATH SENTENCE
Greenwood Man Convicted Of
Murder.-Killed Young Vile.

Greenwood, March ga c Toll
bert was found guilty of murder
this afternoon, after short deliber-
alton by the jury which had heard
all the evidence adduced since yes
terday afternoon at 8 o'clock, when
the trial began. The testimony was
practically completed yesterday even
ing and the morning occupied with
arguments of counsel for the de-
fense, Solicitor Cooper in reply.
Judge Moore delivered his charge
shortly before l o'clock.
At ten minutes after z o'clock the
jury brought in its verdict, guilty
of murder
Tolbert was found guilty of par
ticularly atrocious crime. He chok-
ed his young wife to death while the
two were alone in a room in house
at Pamela mill, a few days before
Christmas. He waited an hour af-
ter committing the crime before he
notified any one, saying he wanted
to be sure she was dead.
At the trial he testified that her
infdelity was the cause of his rage
towards her.
The plea of the defense was in
sanity and testimony both of physi-
clans and others was offered that
Tolbert was peculiar" or crazy.
When Judge Moore finished the
death sentence Tolbert fell across the
dock as in a swoon. He was car
ried into jury room and given
medical attention. The date of ex-
ecution is April 2.
Court adjourned after sentence
had been pronounced on Tolbert.
