Davis, a citizen of Davidson Town ship, has been placed under a $100 bond by Justice Turner for his ap pearance at the next term of Iredell Superior Court to answer the charge of "biting off the nose of Will Al ley."

Washington, D. C, Feb. 14. Pres ident Taft's reciprocity agreement with Canada was ratified in the House of Representatives to-night through the support of an almost solid Demo cratic vote.

The passage of the bill in the House came at the end of a long de bate which, at times, was as bitter as has been heard on the floor of that chamber in years. TO SCATTER THE BOLL WEEVIL.

Oxford, Me.. Feb. 12. In fulfill ment of a compact made with her husband during his lingering illness. which death ended yesterday, Mrs. Lynwood S. Keene took her own life to-day after having fatally shot her fourteen-year-old son, Gerald. The compact, dated about a month hack. was found by the coroner In a sealed I envelope in the woman's room. Keene once was a prosperous far mer, but, according to the compact. the family had become impoverished and discouraged during his long sick ness. He was thirty-eight years old and his wife a year or two younger. The document recited briefly the family troubles, the result of Mr. Keene's illness. In it his death was predicted, and it was stated as both the parents thought it would be wrong to have their son remain in the world to suffer the troubles tbey had-experienced, Mrs. Keene bound herself to "do away" in the words of the compact, with herself and their son, Gerald, as soon as possible after the death of the husband and father. Friends of the family who were in the house to-day assisting in prepar ing the body of Mr. Keene for burial, heard, shots fired upstairs. They found the boy, Gerald, in bed in his chamber with a bullet wound in his right temple. He lived less than an hour. The door of Mrs. Keenes room was broken in and her body was found stretched on the bed. She had placed the revolver muzzle to the roof of her mouth and fired, death probably being instantaneous. In letters to relatives, the husband and wife asked to be buried ia a double casket and that their son's and theirs be placed in the same box for final interment.
