The Spencer Water Works. There appears to be a reason able probability that before long Spencer will own the water works system in operation at that place. The matter has been discussed and agitated from time to time and now there eeems to be a strong sentiment in favor of the town owning ine piant. some over tures for purchase have hereto- for been made to ths owners of the plant, but it was thought that their figure, $42,000 was too high in sneaking of the matter the Spencer Cr;sc nt sayB : 'The statement now is, sub stantially, that should the town purchasa at even $42,000, the first year's net revenue would be more than $700. That, if the town op erates the plaut and owns it, ev ery citizen able to make sewerage connection and pay water rates, would subscribe for water works. In that case, the next revenue would be proportionately increas ed. That it would further and continuously increase with addi tions to population and the occu pancy of business houses now va cant. At the meeting Thursday night, a petition was given into the hands of a committee, ad dressed to the town council and mayor, asking them to negotiate the purchase of the property at a price not exceeding $42,000.

Young Man Crazed Over Leve Affair Brut ally Murders His Sweetheart. At Startown, three miles from this place, the Sabbath peaceful ness was broken this morning by one of the most demoniacal crimes ever known in this county. The tragedy took place in the Metho dist church about 10:30 whil Sunday school was being held, Miss Willie Bullinger, aged about 18 years, being stabbed to death by Lon Rader, aged about 21, a discharged lunatic. The reports that reach here are little conflicting as to just how the awiui deed was done. One is to the effect that Miss Bullinger was seated at the organ playing for the Sunday school when Rader, leaping across several seats, at tacked her with his pocket knife, stabbing her once in the back and twice in the breast. Another re port is that the man waited juBt outside of the church door and ju9t as she came out committed the deed. But wherever the act was done, the result is the same and the girl lies dead at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs Wallace bullinger. The attack was very violently made and it is said that those reaching the eou pie fist could not prevent Rader from giving his victim several cuts. m 1 -m ihe murderer was arrested at once and is now in jail, He is not sorry for the crime and is le ported as saying that he killed her "because she was a witch." Rader was last spring commit ted to the asylum at Morgauton, having become violently insane. At this time m his ravings he talked incessantly of Miss Bull inger for several months. He haB been at home apparently well and nothing strange was noticed about him until his terrible deed this morning.- -terday afternoon he delivered a load of wood in New ton and while here purchased a new knife with which he com mitted the murder. r News of the deed was brought at once to Newton and the county physician, Dr. George H. West, and Sheriff D. M. Boyd hastened to the scene. Rader had been se cured instantly on killing the girl and is now in jail. The youDg lady will be buried tomorrow afternoon. Newton, N.
