Gobs in a eho atore here a little more than a month ago, was placed on trial here thia morning , promptly at t:S0. It will probably occupy all of to-morrow. At the be ginning of the trial tho State swore only tnree witneaaes, and rested ita taae after the examination of two of " these. In the afternoon the defence began Ita teetlmony, awore 27 wlt neaaea and announced that more would be eumraoned. The only fact , brought out by the State waa that . Harrla ahot ooaa on the nignt or De cember 1. Two wltneasea teatMed a v to the ahootlng and the direction of , the ball. ASKS VERDICT OF MURDER IN , ; SECOND DEGREE. At :0, after a few prellmluarlea. the selection of the Jury waa begun. Thia process occupied an hour and II tninutea. Four Jurora were taken from the regular Jury. The ?olicltor , announced that he would not contend for a verdict of murder In the first degree, but only In the second. The prisoner ia a slim young man, with a 1 refined" face, and Is neatly drenaed. 'At 2;30 tho defence began to in troduce testimony tending to show that Harris shot In Hflf-defennc; that Doss had frequently threatened him, and that when the primmer shot he ; thought his life waa In danger. HARRIS TESTIFIES. Harris teatlfled that he went to the tore at 1 o'clock and remained till the time of the nhoottng. lie said ho naw Ooaa at the front door: he turn- ad and went behind the counter; he looked up and mw Ooaa coming faat. Ooaa aaid, "Come out here a minute, I want to see you." Harris told him to go away, he wished to have no trouble with him. These acntences were repeated In substance three times. On the third time, Gobs threw hie hand to his hip pocket "I flapped to one aide to get a man between me and Qoas," said the wit ness. "He shifted his poxltlon and looked as if he was trying to get ometning from his hip pocket. Thinking there was no escape, I ahot, bat didn't think 1 hit him. Gosh said I wasn't going to shoot.' I said. 'Tea, you were, too, take your hand away or I'll shoot ugaln.' (Joss took A step forward and then fell." Har rla had then turned over his gun to the officers and nurrendered. Harrla aaid that Gosh' threata to ward Harris' wife and the vile epi thets he applied to him had led him to order two pistols for purpones of aelf-defcnae. HARRIS' TESTIMONY CORROBO RATED. At the conclusion of the tcHtlmony Of Harris, the defendant, a number Of wltnesaex were called who saw the shooting. These were all em ployed In the store and corroborated everything that Harris told about the tragedy. During the afternoon the aollcilor In cross-examination of a witness gave the first inkling of the trouble between Goss and Harris When he asked about Harris writing a note to Mrs. Goss. Later It appeared that this was over two years ago and Harris said thnt he would not have cared If hi wife had read the note. The note has not been made public yet. It Is thouRht that the evidence will be completed by noon to-inorrow and the argument" of counsel will be concluded befor e night. The Jury will probably get the caife late In the af ternoon.

No tidings upon which the company placet credence havo been received of the missing vessel which sailed with a crew of M men and even paiergers. Innumerable rumors had been Investi gated and many theories set at naught.

They maintain tneir own system of taxation tor schools, hospital, streets, sewer, light and police protection and then pay the bulk o- me taxes lor building roads' and running the schoola of the county. The town and cities ought to help educate the chil dren or the county ana to help build the roads, but there should be a limit somewhere, it seems mat It would ba Juat and fair te stop on the prop erty tax and gtve.the towns and cities tne benefit ot all revenue arising trom licenses. Tne town must maintains a police force at a large expense and then it is required to turn over tne fines to the county. Virginia towns anu cities do not pay one cent of taxes for the benefit ot their ctunles. inat is a mistake, our Legislature doesn't seem to realize mat our towna are already carrying a burden.

Other loom patterns are of our home design and make. TARV REELS.1 The extent of the use of our reels In the Southern cotton mills attests their merit. Every reel guaranteed to give satisfaction and stand on Its own merit. SPOOLERS. Wo have Incorporated Into the de sign of our spoolers Improvements which make them superior to those of any other rrfake. Convenience for the spooler hand Is an important factor In our make-up of a spooler. STARCH KETTLES. Ours is the only starch kettle which has the equivalent of a reverse mo-, tlon. It makes an emulsion of starch like milk, not a lumpy mixture like hominy and water. BAND MACHIXE. Our band . machine Is all right. Inquire of the users. DYE-HOUSE MACHINERY.

Having a foundry and large iihop facilities, we can make better deliveries than can he had elsewhere. WASTE MACHINERY. Wa manufacture waste cleaning machinery under the McDonaldMll ler patents.
