Goopers Guilty Sharp Acquitted Second Degree Murder and 20 Years for Coopers. DEPENDENTS OUT ON BAIL. Motion for New Trial—Creat Crush to Sign Bond. Nashville, Tenn., March 20. — When court convened this morn ing, Judge Hart ordered the de fendants brought in and imedia tely sent for the jury. The twelve men filed into the court room and occupied the same seat they have held for nearly nine weeks. "Have you agreed upon a verdict gentleman?" asked Judge Hart. "We have," replied Foreman Burke "Advance, Mr. Foreman, and read the verdiet" The for eman advanced "and read the verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree and fixing their punishment of 20 years each in the penitentiary. _____ Yesterday the jury acquitted John D. Sharpe who was indicted with the Coopers, announcing that they were hopelessly tied as to the Coopers. The verdict brou ght in this morning finding the Coopers guilty of murder in the second degree was a great sur prise, on account of the announ cement the day before that the y were hopelessly tied. I As soon as Judge Hart had tanked the jury for their pa tience and dismissed them Judge &afld§erson for the defence made a on that the case be declar ed a faistrial, and that the defen dants be admitted to bond, Judge Hart atoitted the Coopers to bond of $25G00 each and stated that he would hear argument for mistrial next week. There was a great rush of i Coopers' friends to sign the bond After the clerk had announced a number of times that the bonds were good wealthy men kept de manding that their names be put on the bond. When there was no more room at the bottom they kept signing across the face un til it was difficult to discipher the signatures. When the tond was filed it a million and a half. We are counting the remain ing days of March and every movement congress makes in the direction of the tariff. A Bundle of News Items. Correspondent to the Democrat Well, Mr. Editor, from the general appearance of the weath er and the warm days it looks like spring is near at hand. By the way, the peach blossoms are adorning the trees with a beauti ful garb of red and And the spring flowers are slooting out from thoir lurking and hiding places during the cold winter, and are now full of blossoms. All of which shows that the ground hog weather has passed over. The farmers are taking the advantage of these warm davs working on their farms, plowing and sowing oats, etc. Many are very busy now in hauling their potatoes to market. The general news is rather on the scarce order just now under the new administration. But the probability is looking for ward for more flourishing and 'prosperous times. The public schools have nearly closed. Prof. Haas closed his at the Yoder school on the 15th with a big exhibition. There was a large crowd present, some from Lincoln County and from the town of Shelby. The scholars all acquitted themselves well. Miss Beam, the assistant teach er from Shelby, has returned home. Rev. L. T. Love made a fine address on the occasion of the closing of Prof. Haas' school. It was well listened to, and his subject was "Education and Its Advantages." Logan Reinhardt and sons have moved their sawmill near Daniel Teahills on the Reinhardt land to cut up the timber for market The wwrk on the Simpson Ford bridge is progressing very slow ly, as one of the pieces had to be torn down and re-built The young folks topped out the school exhibition with a big soci al party at the home of G. M. Yoder. They had a fine time of it. Lee Yoder has a big smile on his face—it is a girl. Rusticus. State News, W. E. Paul, Southern Railway agent at Elkin committed suicide last Thursday because of ill health. The mixed passenger and freight train between Taylors ville and Statesville was wreck ed Thursday of last week near Hiddenite. The body of DeWitt Baughin who was shot by an officer in Chattanooga some time ago was buried at Mayoden, Friday. Plans have been completed for the erection of a new jail for Statesville. Men Deserting Families. Thousands of men are desert ing their wives and children in New York because they cannot find work. Frank G. Warne, University extension worker, told the assembly w*ys and means committee that there were 200,- 000 idle men and women in New York City alone today. Seventy per cent, were farm laborers who had drifted in from the country. Mr. Warne urged the creation of a commission to investigate the unemployed. This is the most dangerous time of the year to catch cold, and it is the hardest time to cure it. If you should take a cold, a few doses of Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup will act very promptly. Its laxative principle cures the cold by a gentle but natural action of the bowels. Children especially like Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup, as it tastes so good, nearly like maple sugar. It is sold by C. M, Shuford and W. S. Martin. The African tsetse fly wouldn't live a minute if the linotype operators could get at it. GIIOPPED WlfE'S HEAD FROM BODY. Culpeper Man's Horrorable Crime. Culpeper, Va. March 19— After murdering his wife by braining her with an ax, Henery C. Wheatley a Culpeper farmer, placed her head on a block of wood and almost completely 3eyeredit from the body. The crime occurred at Wheatley's home near Elkwood Wednesday night, but was not discovered until yesterday when Wheatleys 12-vear old son made the grew some discovery of his step mother's body. Beside it lay the blood covered ax together with a note from Wheatley con fessing to the murder of his wife as a result of a dispute over their property. Subsequently Wheatley's ap parently lifeless body was found in a well n«ar his home. When taken out by a crowd of neighbors, he soon revived, and and later was arrested and taken to jail charged with the murder of his wife. Wheatley formerly was disputy treasuier. He is a well educated man and bears a good reputation. Neighbors re gard his act as that of an insane man. 'ik -* .. May Stewart By all odds the most import ant social and dramatic event of the season will be the engage ment of the distinguished young oxtiste, May Stewart and her excellent company at the Acad emy of Muiic tonight, March 25, in the laughable Comedy "The Sculptor's Dream." The play was first made famo'is in this coun try by Mary Anderson. It was afterwards used as a very suc cessful vehicle by such noted stars as Mirca Gale, Margaret Mother and Julia Mai low. It has been a favorite with Miss Stewart and in the dual roll she is said to shine to unusual ad vantage. A very clever company will be seen with Miss Stewart and an advance notice says: The scenery used in this production is very beautiful and the costumes are the most maguificent worn by any legitimate company touring the South. A RELIGIOUS AUTHORS STATE MENT Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, Salis bury, N. C., who is the author of sever al books writes: "For several years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and last winte. I was suddenly strickeai with a severe pain in my kidneys and was confined to bed eight days unable to get up without assistance. My urine containad a thick white sediment and I passed same freauently day axd night I chmmenced taking Foley's Kidney Remedy and thk pain gradually abated and finally ceased and my urine bp came normal. I cheerfully recommend Foley's Kidney Remedy." W. S. Martin & Ce. Democrat and Press, Consolidated r905 I ...ADVERSITY... I Comes to every one.

We noticed a historical sketch in the columns of the Democrat written by that noted historian, J. H. Shuford, about the Hoyle family. There is one clause in it that is incorrect, and that is where it read "Andrew Hoyle married a daughter of John Wil fong." It ought to have read "Maj. George Wilfong's." She was a sister to John Wilfong. John Wilfong had four daughters. One married John J. Shuford; another Henry W. Robinson; the third David Ransom; the last Dr. Simpson. Maj. George Wilfong had four daughters, one married Daniel Whitener; another Adam Gross; the third Jacob Cline and the last Andrew Hoyle. Maj. Wilfong had two sons, John and Peter. John married Hannah Sigmon, and Peter married a Miss Hovle. Maj. Wilfong was the progenitor of the Wilfong family in Catawba Caunty. —G. M. Yoder. "My three year old boy was badly constipated, had a high fever and was in an awful condition. I gave him two doses of Foley's Orino Laxative and the next morning the fever was goue and he was entirely well. Foley's Orino Laxative saved his life." A. Wolkush, Casimer, Wis. W. S. Martin & Co. Tragedy at Maiden. A shocking accident occured at Maiden Saturday evening. The 10 year old son of Mr Mark Sig mon was playing with a gun and in fun, so he says snapped it at the 4 year old daughter of Mr. R. A. Lay. The gun was loaded and the shot took effect in the little girl's body killing her in stantly. It was another case of "didn't think the gun was load ed"—Lincoln County News. Don't wait until your blood is im poverished and you are sick and ailing, but take Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea now. It will positively drive out all winter impurities, 35 cents, Tea or Tablets.
