After that date, the honorable authorities of that good town have .'e-.Teed, no papers shall be sold, no ice, no ice cream, n) cigars or cig arettes or tobacco in any form, no shoeshines no. nothing that a hu man being can possibly kick through to Monday without. It was in a town where similar blue laws were, enforced that Adam spent his first Sunday and, according to Mark Twain, wearily entered ip his diary at night just two words "Pulled through." Why not make it a high crime and misdemeanor to cook a meal in that town on Sunday? There are many different ideas about how t0 keep the Sabbath day "h0ly".

It is a whale, but it had to be that because Texas is a whale of a State and they do things in the "Lone Star" ina big way. It is claimed that this edition of The Express is the biggest week-day paper ever issued in the country. It took eight months to prepare it, required the service of 700 persons, has 200 pages, 1,400 columns of matter. ings and it does look now like!

Submitted by his attorneys on a plea of guilty of murder in the sec ond degree, which plea was accepted by tie State and associate counsel, Jesse C. Walker was yesterday af ternoon sentenced by Judge Rountree, presiding ever Superior i Court at Burgaw, Pender county,,' Jto which court the case wa3 moved on a change of venue from Southport, to a term of 30 years in the State pen itentiary, or the killing of Sheriff Jackson Stanland, of Brunswick county at Piggottsville, November 20, 1908. Walker will be removed to Raleigh today by Sheriff J. E. Robinson, of Brunswick county, and a deputy sher iff from Pender county, to begin at once the long sentence imposed up on him. He has been in jail at Bur gaw since last Friday, when he was carried there from Southport, where he had been confined since his ar rest in this city early in March. Was a Remarkable Case Yesterday's sentence comes as the final chapter in one of the most sen sational criminal cases in the history, :f North Carolina. On the night of November 20, 1908, Sheriff Jackson Stanland an-' Deputy Sheriff J. E. Rcbinson, now sheriff of Brunswick county, attenmpted to arrest Walk er at the home of his father-in-law, Mr. Frank Leonard, On a charge rrf desertion from the army and store breaking.

Sher iff J. Knox, the present chair man j)l the board ot commissioners of Brunswick county, who had suc ceeded Sheriff Stanland, organized a posse and set out in pursuit. The fugitives were first seen on Lock wood's Folly river, near the coast, and from here the chase led into the wilds of the Green swamp. Wdth thi posse always oily z sh:rt distance behind, the two rum managed to delude officers for four or five days, when they were Corn ered at Heading Swamp, where Dud ley was arrested. Several shot, were fired at Walker at this time, but he again managed to escape into the swamps and several days later was reported to have been seen at Da pree Landing on Lake Waccamaw. From this point the posse was never able to trace him, and for six years his whereabouts remained a mys tery to the officers here. Arrested in Wilmingt fr On Sunday, March 6, of this year, Walker was seen and recognized bv t0r has no regard for his word, and fined $2.50 and the cost in the Capt. J. W.
