NEGRO FOUNTAIN PAYS
PENALTY FOR CRIME

Isaiah Fountain, convicted negro
rapist of Bertha Simpson, was drop
ped through the trap on the scat
fold constructed in the Easton Jail
in Talbot county at 3:13 o'clock this
morning. Shortly afterward he was
pronounced dead as the result of a
broken neck by Drs. William n. Pal
mer, P. F. Davidson and Philip L..
Travers. He marched upon the scat
fold without a murmur and without
a statement of any character. In
answer to- queries for a confession
several minutes earlier he reiterated
his previous assertion that he was
innocent
AT $3.50 a. M, Chief Investigator r.
H. Williams, attracted to his cell by
queer gurgling sound, was alarmed
to find Fountain huddled in the dark
ened rear of his cell with his hands
clasped about his throat. Williams
rushed into the cell and found the
negro in the act of slashing his throat
with a half portion of a safety razor
blade Fountains throat was cut but
not badly. Also about his neck was
tied the end of his bedclothing, which
had been knotted together and fast
ened about the bars at the top. 1t is
thought that he first tried to sever
the jugular vein and then attempted
to take his life by hanging himself
The members of the death watch stat
ed that they were of the opinion thai
his courage faltered at each attempt

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

At The recent session of the
County Court Of Monroe, on pcti.
tion Of 257 voters of Wolf Greek
district. which includes part of
The town Of Alderson, the court
submitted 10 the voters OF that dis
trict the proposition to authorize
the bonding Of the district in the
sum of $4,000 for road improve
ment. AS more than majority
of the voters of the district had
signed the petition il seems almost
certain that the issuance of the
bonds will be authorized at the
special election to be held on the
Goth inst.
So far four districts of Green
fredericksburg, Fort Spring,
White Sulphur and Meadow Bluff
have voted bonds. and the qucs-
ton is now pending in Frankfn",'
and Anthonys Greek districts. We
believe that every district in Fay
cite county, certainly every district
through which the J. II. & X. turn
pike runs, have voted bonds for
road Improvement and great work
is going on there.
