NC. 26 LIFE SENTENCE. v One Accomplice of Walker Found Guilty in The Attempted Murder of Col Holt. Graham, X. C, Dec. 21, In the case of Fannie McCain and Annie Turner, on trial tinder indictment as accessories before the fact in the capital burglary of Henry Walker, when he shot Mr. L. Banks Holt, the jury found Annie Turner guilty, but could not agree as to Fannie McCain. Judge Moore, "who presided at the trial sentenced Annie Turner to life imprisonment in the penitentiary alter denying the motion of her attorneys for a new trial. An appeal to the Supreme Court was taken. Annie McCain was held in default of bail for trial at the next term of court. Henry Walker, the principal in the crime, upon whose statement the two women were arrested, will be executed oii the Sth of January. As his testimony is material to the guilt of the two wo men, it was certified to as given on the trial, and tiled for use in a subsequent trial, it' there should be another trial. Puuli; opinion approves the convic tion and sentence of Walker, and is as well satisfied with the result of the trial of Annie Turner, as there is hardly room to doubt thai she left the door of Mr. Holt's house unlocked for Walker to enter, well knowing that his purpose was to make a murderous assault on Mr. Holt. As to Fannie McCain, opinion is divided. It appears that the only evidence connecting her with Walker's crime is the testimony ot Walker, himself, after his trial and conviction. In the face of that is her positive statement that she advised Walker to do nothing rash anfl pleaded with him "not to take the life of Mr. Holt. There seems to be reason to be lieve that Walker's statement incrimin ating her was prompted by spite since she had testifed for the State on his . trial, although she declared that she had concealed her knowledge of his crime until forced by the process of court to tell what she knew. It is not regarded as at all probable that there will be any further postpon raent of the execution of Walker. THE GOLDSBORO HOSPITAL. A Christmas Inciden That Empha sizes How Its Trustees Ap preciate the Institution and Its Head. Rev. F. W. Farries, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Goldsboro Hospital, and the one of all who, from its incipiency and in the days of its ex perimental struggles, on up to its pres ent fine quarters and competent equip ment, has been its stay and vitalizing force, was, at Christmas, substantially remembered by the board, and we can add nothing to the letter accompany ing the gift, which reads as follows : "Mr. F. W. Farries, Chairman Golds boro Hospital, Goldsboro, X. C: My Dear Sir: The Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of the Goldsboro Hospital beg that you will accept the enclosed with their senti ments of highest esteem, of affection and deep appreciation. "Your co-workers feel that they owe you much, in that larger relationship for behind all personal relationship you have established a bond of sympathy, of loving fellowship. "In your leadership you have given your best, in spite of the many obsta cles, and in your gentleness and ten derness were expressed a consideration for others diffusing that "contagion of faith" among your fellow-workers that has inspired and stimulated and en deared you to us all. May the Xule tide and the New Year bring you cheer and gladness and the 'best things of life.' "Christmas Eve, 1906, Goldsboro, N. C." ROBERT E. LEE'S CENTENARY. The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Lee will be cel ebrated at the college in the Shenan doah valley in which he gave the clos ing years of his heroic life. Disre garding all offers of higher remunera tion, he went at the end of the war straight to the Washington university in Lexington, Va.,and there he worked unceasingly and devotedly until the in stitution had a student body number ing more than 900 young men and had gained a prestige that sprang directly from his own noble character. The centennial anniversary will be conducted by this institution, now known as the Washington and Lee university, and the intention is to use the commemorative event to explain in the fullest manner the value of Gen eral Lee's services as an educator. This feature in his career has not been adequately placed before the general public. Every living alumnus of the university will be invited to go back to Lexington on January 19, when the centenary will be held. Charles F. Adams, of Massachusetts, will deliver the principal address, and the fact that General Lee gave his life after the war to education will be properly brought out. Not only will the ceremonies be attended by the graduates of the uni versity, but all the Confederate so cieties have been invited to send rep resentatives, and it is believed every one of them will have a delegation in Lexington on the nineteenth day of next month. Lexington itself wiil en tertain all: visitors, and the hope is that the occasion will become historic in the university that he presided over five years, and in the chapel in which rest his ashes. The entire south should assist in doing honor to the memory of its greatest son. Cassatt's Sudden Summons. Philadelphia, Dec. 28. President Alexander J.

Age to the Use of Pe-ru- na.' ' m IS THE RATE LAW A FAILU5E? A Washington correspond entquotes a government official as having said that the new rate law has not accom plished anything of value for the ship pers He says, that the law has pnt a stop to rebates, but has not secured any reduction in rates to the general pub lic. "Thus it is," he adds, "that the roads have been enabled under the new law to cut out rebating practically entirely, without having to reduce rates to the general public. That class which form erly got a cheap rate now have to pay a higher rate, while those who never got a rebate in their lives are paying the same old rate." If the law has put a stop to rebates, and has secured a uniform rate for all classes of shippers, it seems to us that it has done a vast deal for the public. Indeed, that is the main object of the law, and if every shipper gets a square deal, it cannot be said that the law is a failure, simply because it has not brought about a sweeping reduction in rates. Does this government official know of any reduction of prices in other branches of industry ? On the contrary, has not the price of every thing enormously advanced within the last few years ? Does not this mean that the cost. of operating railroads has correspondingly increased? Why, then should the public expect railroad rates to come down, when the price of every thing is going up? Let us make the railroads do their duty by the public, but we must be just in all our exac tions, or we shall defeat our own ends LIST OF LETTKKS NOBLE PEACE PRIZE.

Mr. Isaac Brock, 117 Years Old Last Birthday. ISAAC BROCK, a citizen of McLen- 1 nan county, Texas, has lived for 117 i ears. For many years he resided at Bosque Falls, eighteen miles west of Waco, but now lives with his son-in-law at Valley Mills, Texas. Some time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac came to Waco and sat for his picture, holding in his hand a stick cut from the grave of General Andrew Jackson. Mr. Brock is a dignified old gentleman, showing few signs of de crepitude. His family Bible is still preserved, and it shows that the date of his birth was written 117 years ago. Born before the United States were formed. Saw 22 Presidents elected. Pe-ru-na has protected hint from alt sudden changes. , Veteran ot four wars. Shod a horse when 99 years otd. Always conquered the grip with Pe-ru-na. Witness In a land suit at the age of 110 years. Believes Pe-ru-na the greatest remedy of the age for catarrhal troubles. IN speaking of his good health and extreme old age, Mr. Brock savs : "After a man has lived in the world . as long as I have, he ought to have j found out a great many things by ex perience. I think I have done so. "One of the things J have found proper thing for ailments that are due directly to the effects of the climate. For 117 years I have withstood the changeable climate of the United States. "I have always been a very healthy man, but, of course, subject to the af fections which are due to sudden changes in the climate and tempera ture. During my long life I have l2aown a great many remedies for coughs, colda and diarrhoea. "As for Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable rem edy for these affections. It has been my standby for many years, and I attribute my good health and extreme old age to this remedy. "It exactly meets all my require ments. It protects me from the evil ef fects of sudden changes ; it keeps me in good appetite; it gives me strength; it keeps my blood in good circulation. I have come to rely upon it almost en tirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. "When epidemics of 1ft grippe first began to make their appearance in this country I was a sufferer from this disease. "I had several long sieges with the grip. At first I did not know that Peruna was a remedy for this disease. When I heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh, I tried Peruna for fa grippe and found it to be fust the thing. " In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes : "I am well and feeling as well as I have for years. The only thing that bothers me is my sight. If I could see better I could walk all oyer the farm, and it would do me good. I would not be without Peruna." Yours truly, When old age comes, it brings with it catarrhal diseases. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to many old people.
