WUfORD ROSEBORO HANGED. SENATOR SIMMONS TALKS. Statesville, Sept. 10. Wilford Roseboro was hanged here to day, for killing Mrs. Beaver. Be was pat on the scaffold at 12:06 o'clock and as he did not want to make any public statement Sher iff Summers threw the trap at 12:08 o'clock. He dropped six feet and four inches. Bis neck was broken and his pulse ceased to beat in six minutes and the physicians pronounced him dead in 15 minutes. After the trap was thrown there was one or two slight contortions of the body. His mother nor none of his rela tives wanted his body and it was expressed to the distributing board at Raleigh to night. The execution was conducted in the jail yard. There were two or three thousand people here to see the execution and when the prisoner was put on the scaffold the crowd tore down the im provised enclosure prepared by the sheriff to make it more pri vate. A portion of the fence was also broken down by the crowd. Some went so far as to yell. Housetops, windows and other elevated places were used by them in their eagerness to see it. Everybody seemed satis fied when it was over. Roseboro said he slept very well last night and ate a hearty breakfast this morning. He ex hibited no fear that was visible to the public when he was taken to the scaffold. He pined the Church during his imprisonment and expressed satisfaction that he would be saved. A large number of women witnessed the hanging. Roseboro murdered Mrs. Dovie Beaver, wife of Mr. Adolphus Beaver.a farmer of Cool Springs township, on Thursday morning, July 30. Mr. Beaver and young son were in Statesville that day, having left Mrs. Beaver at home alone. They returned home about dark that evening and found the dead woman's body in an unused weJ at the rear of the bouse. It was evident from ex amination of the body when it was taken from the well that she had been brutally murdered and circumstances connected Rose boro with the crime. The coro ner's inquest, held the day fol lowing, confirmed this. Two days after the murder Sheriff Summers arrested Rose boro in Polk county, where he was at work with a squad of rail road hands. He was kept in jail in Charlotte until Wednesday, August 12, when he was brought to Statesville, tried by Judge Al len and sentenced to be hanged. During Ro3eboro's four months' imprisonment in jail here, awaiting his execution, his conduct has puzzled those who frequently saw and talked to him in his cell. A few days after he was put in jail he con fessed that he had killed Mrs Beaver; said he choked her to death. But when questioned as to details connected with the crime his memory was blank He claims that he was drunk and did not know what he did. His mother says he was not drunk as she could detect when he went home, shortly after he com mitted the crime. Winston-Salem, N. CSept. 10. Senator F. M. Simmons spent the day here on bis return to Ral eigh from a trip to Washington. In an interview on politics, he stated that he found the Demo crats in Washington decidedly more hopeful in regard to the next Presidential election than they were a few weeks ago. He thinks that President Roosevelt's popularity is waning aod that the large business element of the country has not the utmost confidence in the President. With a strong conservative man like Senator Gorman, the North Carolina Senator thinks the Democrats would have as good a chance of electing a President next year as they had in 1892, when Mr. Cleveland defeated Mr. Harrison. Senator Sim mons is hrmly of the opinion that Mr. Gormon would get as many votes in New York State as either Judge Parker or Mr. Cleveland, and he admits the latter is very popular in North and East. that the A Boys Wild Ride For Life.

John Flowers, the white man who out raged his own child, near their home in Lucama during the later part of August, was put on trial for his life here this morning. A venire of one hundred men had been summoned and were on hand at the opening of court. Almost all of the morning was taken up in selecting a jury. A great portion of the venire was exhausted before twelve men could be found to sit on the case. At the evening session of court witnesses in the case were ex amined. Their evidence was the most revolting ever heard in the court house here. The testi mony of the little girl, Eliza Flowers, was pitiable and made all wonder how violent hands had been kept off the father af ter the crime had been committed. The defense introduced wit nesses to prove that Flowers was drunk when the crime was com mitted and advanced this as plea for mercy by the court. After an able charge lis honor, Judge Ferguson, the case went to the jury about five o'clock this afternoon. It was with the jury only one minute when they returned a verdict of guilty. His honor announced that he would not pronounce his sentence until tomorrow. Winston-Salem, N. C, Sept. 11.

The snake had six rattles and a button. A collision between a freight train and mixed passenger train occurred at Biscoe on the A. & A. road last Friday. No one was hurt but both engines were badly damaged. The stock holders of the Bank of Randolph have bought from the trustees of the Presbyterian church a lot of sixty feet deep and an additional twelve feet front and will at an early) date erect a handsome two story brick building. Henry Brown, colored, killed a young eagle about three miles west of Asheboro Monday morn ing. The eagle measuerd five feet and five inches from tip to tip. T. A. Brown, formerly of Asheboro, has been elected su perintendent of the Asheboro Lumber and ManufacturingCom pany's new lumber plant at Hemp, N. C. On account of the continued ill ness of his wife Rev. W. S. Long has resigned as pastor of the Christian church of Asheboro. Mr. Long is a man of marked ability and with his retirement the people of Asheboro lose a strong man and an able preacher. His successor will probably be chosen at the annual conference of the Christian church which meets in Asheboro November 1st. During the Greensboro fair in October there will be a reunion of former residents of North Car olina to almost every state in the Union are expected to be pres ent, and several of the counties will have tents for the headquar ters of their former citizens. There are said to be more than 300 former citizens of Randolph county living in Greensboro. This fact was developed at an in formal meeting Monday after noon of Randolph headquarters for the home-comers from dis tant States to the reunion. Railroad Ties of Leather. New Tor Coaucereial. Making railroad ties from leather began in West Warren, Mass., Monday, in the Crossman factory, which has been leased by the F. W. Dunnell Company, of Springfield. The inventor of the ties, F. W. Dunnell, has been experimenting with the possibili ties of old leather for several years, and leather ties which have been subjected to the sever est strain in the West Spring field yards, of the Boston & Al bany divisions of the New York Central Railroad, do not show any signs of wear after being in service 26 months. Wooden ties (deteriorate prin cipally because the fish plate cuts into the tie, with the result that the rail rests upon the tie itself. In the tests in the West Springfield yards the fish plates have not cut the leather. In the manufacture of the ties scrap leather, old shoes and leather in any other discarded form will be used. The leather is ground by special machinery into a tine mass, and is com pressed into the desired shape under hydraulic pressure. The company will also make paving blocks and fence posts. The promoters of the company claim that the ties, though more ex pensive than wood ties, are ulti mately economical, as they are guaranteed to outlast four chest nut ties. The company is capi talized at $300,000, the stock be ing held by Springfield investors. , - pman, a prominent lady li of What Is Life?

King s Mountain Herald. Philosophy of Matrimony. Uncle Jim in The Appleton Press warns his young friends against a certain brand of matri mony. Uncle says: He who gets married casts the irrevocable die, burns his bridges and eats his declaration of inde pendence. He bucks a very coarse shell game, but he can't see the crooked deal until it is to late to hedge. A man may lose money, reputation, eternal sal vation and health, but he hasn't really lost anything unless he oses in the great , connubial handicap derby. A man may win a fortune, facial prettiness and honor, but he hasn't got any more than a rabbit u be buys a social blank with a cross-eyed mother-in-law. There is a cure for swell head; there is relief for the lovelorn; there is succor for the dyspeptic; there is balm in Gilead. but fof matrimonial wreck there is no hope but despair. Death Claims Largest Man. Cincinnati, Ohio September 12. Big Joe Grimes, said to have been the largest man in the world, is dead at the home of his parents here, as the result of a peculiar accident. While riding in a cab his great weight broke through the bottom- and one of his legs was gashed, the wounds refusing to heal. Grimesweighed 754 pounds and was 34 years of age.

A benevolent looking Quaker, in drab clothes and broad brimmed hat, walked into the lobby of a Philadelphia hotel a short time ago, and was walking up to the desk when he stubbed his toe on an uneven place in the flooring and measured bis length on the floor. A bell boy rushed to assist him to his feet. Boy," said the old gentleman, solemnly, "does thee swear ?" "Oh, no, sir; no, indeed, " said the boy, taking bis cue from the Quaker's pious appearance. 'Urn! Too bad, too bad, " said be of the broad brimmed bat. "I would have paid thee handsomely to nave sworn lor me." Apple Snakes. Last fall and winter there was a (rreat deal said about the cab bage snake, but now the apple snake steps to the front, and it's the genuine article, says the the North Wilkesboro Hustler. Mrs. W.'E. Elliott, of that town, while peeling some apples, noticed something unusual in one. It was a , small snake or worm, which gradually worked itself out of the apple, and it was fol lowed Dy another, j&acn was about six inches long and was perfectly white. A Purgative Pleasure.
