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.

John Flowers Guilty.
Special to News and Observer.
Wilson, N. C, Sept. 9. 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.

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.

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.

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

tried many remedies, but nothing gave any positive relief.
"I commenced taking Lydia E. Plnkbam's Vegetable Comnoimd
in June, 1901. When I had taken the first half bottle, I felt a vast im
provement, and have now taken ten bottles with the result that I feel
like a new woman. When I commenced taking the Vegetable Com
pound I felt all worn out and was fast approaching complete nervous
oouapse. I weighed only w pounds. JSow l weigh 109J pounds and
am improving every day. I gladly testify to the benefits received."
Mas. li. u. Tupman, 423 West 30th St, Richmond, Va.
"When a medicine has been successful In more than a million
cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without try Ine it. "I do not
believe it would help me " ? '
Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discour
aged, exhausted with each day's work. You have some derange
ment of the feminine organism, and Lydia E. Plnkbam's Vege
table Compound will help you just as surely as it has others.
Mrs. W.'H. Pelham, Jr., 108 E. Baker St., Richmond, Va., says t
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I must sav that I do not believe there is anr
female medicine to compare with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

wnat your medicine nas done for me. .before
taking the Vegetable Compound I was so badly

burden to me. 1 suffered with irregular

an irritation of the parts. I looked like

should consider it unwise to use any other medicine.
