wu over 60. She was killed In the yard
of her home, 83 miles from bore, near
the Granville county line, and wu
found lvlne on the eround with her
skull split open and a bloody axe a few
feet away. Your correspondent had a
talk today with a man who married an
aunt of Morris', and this man said Mor
rls ww not bright u to Intellect; that he
and Mrs. Bailey once wslked all the way
to Raleigh to marry, but that
after she gsve him $3 with which to buy
the license he decided not to marry and
they walked back. She broke down 14
miles from here, and there Morris left
her and walked home. Later he said If

take her to Oxford and they would mar
ry. She gsve him the money, but they
never went. She wanted to marry him,
She had some property. He wu teased
a great deal about her and" was heard to
say that he would go over to ber house
and kill her some day. After his arrest
he claimed that Lawrence Davis,
young man of Granville county, had
hired him to kill the woman and had
Dromlsed htm $50 for that work. Davis
arrest followed but he was quickly re
leased on ball, u the atory wu not be-
belleved. but people were sure Morris
wu the murderer.
Counsel for the defence suggested and
solicitor accepted murder In the second
degree, u Morris was clearly partially
unsound mentally. The judge thereupon
sentenced Morris to 80 years In the pen'
Itentiary.

State Auditor Dixon finds that there
were 8128 new applications for pensions
Of these about 2300 passed. Of the new
applications 647 were by widows and
2581 by soldiers. During the year
widows and 166 soldiers are reported to
have died and thla number will reach
800. There were lut year 9000 pensions
The net gain this year will be about
2000. Auditor Dixon says this Is, In his
opinion, the high water mark, and that
henceforward the number will grow less
and less. The law provides that when
the pensions are probated the reduction
shall apply more particularly to the 4th
dus soldiers and to widows. Lut year
the 4th class and widows got $20 an
nually; this year it appears they will re
ceive $15.
