Tnuitday evening in the school auditorium tho Juaior Uaraea Class of the .Methodist church tendered a leceptlon lu honor of the graduating class. The Junior Daracas seem al ways to be looking for something to do, and they acquitted themselves on this occasion lu a most pleasant manner.

Miss Belle Pointer then took us on a trip thro' the "Land of the Sky," which is wet8ern North Carolina. First a most vivid description of the magnificence of the mountains and their scenery was given, men roi lowed the birds, animals, flowers, and climate. The beauties of na ture so vividly pictured were, the jaged rocks, laughing waters, clouds hanging on the western horlzen, the the summit of Granfather ML, Mt. Mitchell. Blowing rock, and the Pil ot. Next were the mountain lakes and canals. And last were the peo ple. When we listened to that pa per we felt that we were really traveling thro' the "Land of the Sky." ' Mr. Archie Falrley. the only boy to graduate, delivered his essay on the New Old North State." "The Old North State" was first describ ed, and nert the "New Old North State" taking up first the import ance of agrk-uliure.

At 12:17 this morning, Dev. Clar ence V. T. Rlcheson, the Vir ginia preacher, wbo, near Boston poisoned one sweetheart. Miss Avis Llnnell, in order to be free to mar ry another, died In the electric chair In Boston. The condemned man slept sound ly for four hours. He was calm and even cheerful at times, occas ionally singing a hymn or repeat Ing his favorite Scriptural passages After eating a little fruit, he light ed a cigar, and he was fitting on the edge of his cot, apparently en joying his smoke whed Deputy ar- den Allen entered his cell, with the balck suit of clothes to be worn dur ing the execution. Rlcheson nodded calmly to the deputy, but said noth ing. Rlcheson spent much of his time yesterday in prayer and reading his Bible. On Saturday, after being inform ed that nothing could be done to save him, since the physicians had pronounced him sine, he went into fits of grief, but finally became calm and stud: "I have made tnv peace with God I nm resigned to my fate. I wish now to go my death as soon ns pos sible, the quicker tho better. I: in said that his one wish was that his body should lie beside his mother in the Virginia cemetery and his father promised to see that this wish should be carried out. The Du roc-Jersey Hog. The Dur jc-Jorsoy hog Is n popu lar brood in I'nlon county. Mr. T, J. Yarborotigh, who lives two miles went of Monroe Is the largest breed er in tho county, nnd has furnished huge numbers to many sections of Ate county. He bus a herd of some forty head. Writing on this breed ti Tennessee ninn says in tho Pro gressive Farmer: The exact origin of tho Duroc- Jersey Is sliphtly mooted, the most authentic history of the Duroc part of the breed Is that the Duroc was so-called by Assaiis Fink, a promi nent farmer of Saratoga county New York, in the spring of 1832 The Improvement of the breed has rapidly developed from that day to this until we now have In the pres ent-day Duroe tho greatest meat- producing animal known. His abili ty to make rapid gains on the least feed Is evidenced bv his great popu larity in the corn-producing States where 75 per cent of all the hogs are Duroc or of Duroc breeding Seventy-five per cent of all the hogs that go to the mnrkets of this coun try are Duroc-JerBeys. One great characteristic of the Duroc is his ability to ndnpt himself to new surroundings and to sudden change cf ration. They thrive equal Iv as well in a hot or cold climate, they are great rustlers and able to take care of themselves. They don t require hothouse quarters and train ed nurses to successfully breed them Of course a Duroc sow can't sleep on a manure henp to keep from freezing, and rustle a straw stack for breakfast and produce prize-win ning litter, but with ordinary care under ordinary farm conditions she will successfully raise a litter of good pigs. It Is up to the farmers of the South to grow their own meat and stop filling the pockets of the hog raisers of the west. Now Is the greatest time known to the swine- breeding Industry, and In starting your herd, don t let a few dollars stand In the way. County Superintendent Nesblt asks The Journal to say that there will be a meeting of the boys belonging to the corn club at his office Wed nesday, the 22nd at 9:30. Mr. T. F. Parker, assistant in the corn club work of the State, will be present, and it is desired that every boy in the club be present. TIIK I;IKIJS HAY .Mi-WIIOKTKK. T!m J'h1.ii Suitf-iMitu Suluiiilx Hi IVrtumM tin- Augur and Tiny Predict Fair Wlxutlur Alter a Util Tumudl Squiiv H.ij lie it .Now iu ttK lw.ee for the leg islature. Ancient warriors and statesmen when about to undertako some great enterprise, often submitted the ques tion to the prophets and uugurs, with the request that the wise ones thciild look into the future and re port whether tho undertaking should bo a sticcets or not. Being a gen eral aiimlivr of the old ways, Esq. llenry JlcWhorter, who was In town Friday and announced that he would agaJu be a candidate for the legis lature, presented his. cause to the fortune teller and received tho most favorable prediction regarding the outcome. An old gentleman with a clerical i oat and a gr.iveynrd face was the soothesayer in this particular case, lie had a stand out o.i the square, and ou the stand sat a rage with two small parrot like birds in it birds of wisdom, evidently, both by their looks and hy their many wise deliverances. When the Squire told a number of his friends that ho had made up his mind to enter the race again, they suggested that lie con sult the birds and see what they hnd to say about the outcome. Squire said that he be datiged if he'd throw away any money on them speckled sparrows, whereupon the fee was contributed by his friends, and tho consulation began. And it was an Interesting performance and an important moment. The old gentleman with the long coat and the grave yard face took out one of his birds perched upon a stick, nnd held it close to Squire McWhorter's nose, apparently for the purpose of getting so well ac quainted with the Squire that there would be no mistake In recognizing the man whose fortune It was about to pick from' behind the dark veil of future events. This done, the bird was passed over a narrow box filled with paper slips for the pur pose of letting it pick out the one upon which the Squire's future was written. After careful scrutiny it brough out a slip upon which these words were printed: I "Your future is very bright where not dark. You will be suc cessful In all your undertakings, where you do not fall. You are about to undertake a great effort, but beware of tho promises of oth ers. (Dunned If that aln t so, re marked tho Squire.) You will have good luck If you follow it hard enough. You will live to bo 87 years of age if you don't die to soon. You are bound to bo elect ed If you get enough votes.'" There wns much along this gener al line, and it was hailed by the crowd as bo satisfactory that It ssem ed that perhaps tho bird had made a mistake, and It was decided to try again. But behold! The wise bird ajjaiti brought out tho same pre diction, the only difference being Hint one was printed on yellow pa per and one Hue. But Imagine the surprise and satisfaction when the old manager of the birds made the matter certain hy saying that he onco told the fortune of a man who hnd four times run for mayor in vain, but after tho bird drew out this very same paper the candidate again ran and was overwhelmingly elected and remnined happy ever afterwartls. Squire McWhortcr said that It was singular that he had hlra self run Just four times unsuccess fully and had now decided to try for the fifth time. Ail I'ndcrwootl SiM-iiker Here, Congressman Collier of Mississip pi spoke In the court houso Friday afternoon In behalf of the candi dacy of Hon. Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama for president. Ho made a very glowing eulogy of Mr. I'nder- wood and spoke appreciatively of tho other gentlemen who are candi dates. The principal plea for Under wood was that lie was a Southern man. and that he has been and is the leader of the House Democrats in tariff legislation. Outside ofthese two points the speech was an old time glorification, whooping up ar ticle with many very beautiful sen tences. Mr. Collier himself Is a young gentlemen of pleasing address and speaks quite fluently. Perhaps hundred person heard tho speech Delegates to County Convention, North Monroe: C. N. Simpson, I). A.

W Even Quit Importing Thciu. Wadesboro M. and I. Killings at Blewett Falls have grown so common that they have quit reporting them to the coroner. Ed Tony, a negro workman at the Falls, was shot Wednesday af ternoon of last week by his para mour, a woman known as "Mamie," and died from the effects of the wound the next afternoon. As stat ed above the homicide was not re ported to Coroner Green and the news of the killing did not reach Wadesboro until Tuesday. .u.u: i oi.i a u.TY.

Sen.euee was deferred, as Al len may he called us a witness ill the trials of bis kinms n, whu are also chkrged with the five murd. n in Carrcll county court. A sparsely filk-d court room heard the end of the trial. Some thought that fear of an outbreak, kucli as marked the adverse verdict at Hills- vine, nil-tnt be seen today. It was Impossible, however. Officers searcii ed ull who entered In tne room. WILL TRY OTlilCiW. Tho others prisoners probably will bo tried Immediately. Claude, Friel and Victor Allen. Byrd Marion aud Sidna LJwanls ;.ro under indictuieat for the murders, whilo Sidua Allen and Wesley Edwards, two other members ot the gang ure at larc. When court opened today, the jtt ry was called in and the foreman questioned by Judge Staples. '1 lie jurors dec lured there were a num ber of points of difference exlstii.g In tho panel and it was doubtful whether a verdict could bo reached. Judge Staples declared the case wus one of such magnitude he felt he must send the jury buck with ufew words of caution and advice. He said, when n number ci men were thrown together in intlniato Isola latlon for a long period of time, with all their thoughts aud attentions, It was but natural there should be a tendency to different views and positions. Along with this tendeil cy, he said, there was another ten deucy of the human mind to fix deep-rooted In one s own mind un warranted opinion In an earnest et fort to convince others. Judge Staples said the jury had not sworn to do other than to reach one conclusion the guilt or inno cence of tho accused. He sa.d If the juror lost sight of that Issue in any private individual opinion, they would do wrong to themselves, an unintended violence to their solemn obligation and gravo Injustice ellh- ther to the Commonwealth or the ac cused. The Jury again retired and It was vit a short time before an nounceiuent was made that an agree ment had been reached. When court reassembled, the foreman read the verdict of "guilty ns charged In the Indictment." Judge Staples held that that was not the proper form. The foreman then explained that the verdict wus one of guilty In the first degree, tho penalty be ing electrocution. KLILINO OF FOSTER. Floyd Allen was charged speci'l ct.lly. at this time, with the mur der of Commonwealth's Attorney William M. Foster, prosecutor In the Carroll court at Hlllsville last March when the trial of Floyd Allen culmi nated In the killing of five persons presiding Judgo Thorton L. Mas- sle; Prosecutor William M. Foster; Sheriff L. F. Webb; Mls-. Elizabeth Ayers and Juror Augustus Fowler. On tho first ballot taken hy tho Jurors tho vote stood ten for mur der lu the first degree, and two for n; tinier In tho second degree. The verdict came ns a distinct sur prise, as It was thought that the jury was hopeltssly divided. One of the twelve men is known to hnve said previous to being summoned for jury duty that "you can t always get Justice In the courts and maybe the Aliens were not far from wrong," and the attorneys for the Commonwealth hud mado arrange ments to arrest him on a charge of perjury should he bring about a disagreement. This morning he agreed to a verdict. CHANGE OF PLAN. Tho Commonwealth announced a change of the plan of trying Claude and Victor Allen Jointly nnd that they would next take up the cas" of Claude on the Indictment charg ing him with the murder of Judge Masslc. The trial will beidn Mon th' y and a venire of ten men has been summoned from which it is hoped to get a jury without, all the the delay In tho trial just complet ed. Attorneys for tho defendant an nounce after court adjourned that they would ask for a writ of error. Tho charge delivered by Judge Sta ples this morning, It was said, touch ed on points which tho Virginia court of appeals had never passed. The prisoner's wife sat beside him She was dressed In black and wore a large poke bonnet so that her face could not be seen. Allen seemed brfghter today than on yesterday, evidently expecting a mistrial, but he was the picture of despair when the verdict was road. DEFIANCE OF LAW. In his cell tonight, surrounded by guards, Allen broke out Into a ti rade of defiance of tho law. "1 nm not going to the electric chair," he shouted. "I've still got some friends In Carroll county." The guards are fearful that Allen may repeat his attempt at suicide, and one or more are always lock ed In the cell with him. : The boys of Beulah school dis trict In Lanes Creek township ask The Journal to say that they will hold a meeting on the 25th for the purpose of reorganizing thetr ball team for the season.

"I intend to Introduce In the next session of the general assembly a bill which will give the people of South Carolina the right to express their preference for president of the United States much more definite ly than they have been able to do so ror the last several years, de clared Senator Weston.
