I Hale's Infer! Ckorfos AW J. I. Yia ceoi Costa a HoodredPhaaka, Twtoty Thoasaod was Asked JURY OUT FIVE HOURS A round one hundred simoleons 1 was the price placed on the dam ages done to J. Burkett Vincent of near Rosemary, through the publication in the ROANOKE RAPIDS HERALD of bribery charges against him. by a jury of his peers on last Thursday afternoon. Readers will recall that the HERALD was served with notice of action for libel by J. B. Vin cent early in May 1916, follow ing the publication of an entirely inocuous news article relative to the conduct of the school election in New Hope-Hockaday district The HERALD decided to stand pat believing it had told nothing but the truth and holding that its readers were entitled to news that was news, and published in the next issue a facsimile of the affidavit of W. B. Hale, stating that Vincent had offered him a suit of clothes to vote against the special tax. Counsel for Vincent tried to secure a retraction of the charges from the HERALD and failing in this brought suit against the Herald Publishing Company for twenty thousand dollars damages for libel, ten thousand dollars being claimed on each issue. Judge Oliver H. Allen, who presided, ruled that the first issue did not contain libel, and ruled that the plaintiff was en titled to only actual damages provided libel were proven in the second issue. Counsel for the Herald placed W. B. Hale on the stand and he swore that Vincent had offered him a suit of clothes to vote against the tax, giving the time and place and accom panying details. Vincent swore that he had not offered Hale the clothes. Character witnesses testified to the good reputations of both men but the jury's verdict implies that they believed Vincent and not Hale. The jury was out five hours and the verdict came as a surprise to the majority of the people who heard the testimony, Askwortk-Cox The many friends of Mr. Nash Cox and Miss Pauline Ashworth were greatly surprised by their marriage which took place at the home ot tne oriae s parents in Rosemary Sunday night at 8:30 Rev.

IN MEM0RIAM In fond remembrance of my dear child, OmarT. Medun, who died June the 16, 1916. Just one year ago to day dear Omar, God called you from earth to Him, And ever since that fatal day, The world has not seemed half so guy. You suffered hut murmured hot, You bore it day by day, Until at last with smiling face, You left me and passed away. More and more each day I miss you, Though some may think the Wound is healed, But little do they know the sorrows within my heart concealed. It is where the flowers bloominp, And the stars look down so bright, That ia where we laid our dear one, Ever more from mortal sight. O'er his grave the birds are singing in tne sunlight sweet and free. But they cannot bring my Dear Child back again to me. But in my dreamt he will ever be. Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.
