Cooper Hill, who brutally beat his .wife to death with, an oak club at their Deep Run home late Saturday, will be given a preliminary hear ing here tomorrow. The authori ties believe Hill is crazy. Today he looked out of his cell at an in terviewer without comprehending the questions that were asked him. It took him several moments to de cide if his name were really Hill when asked. If Hill had been left overnight in the section after the crime, he would certainly have been killed, the sheriff says. iWhen neighbors, summoned by one of his children, reached Hill's house, following the slaying, they found him holding the body of his wife in a sitting posture, with one arm supporting the back, and with his other hand tried to make the head sit straight and steady upon the shoulders. The neighbors watched a few moments. Hill went into the house and brought out a bed. He tried to bolster the body up against the bed, but could not manage iw ; Then he gave up at tempting to keep the body up right, and laid it upon its side, lib would not let it lie flat upon its back. L That was Hill's principal upon lying; on its back. For Hill was most likely crazy when he had knocked the spark of life Out with the bludgeon. The neighbors asked him if he wanted to kill his three children too. He protested, that he loved the little ones and his wife better than anything else in the world ; he was going to take his wife away, he said. Last night he talked coherently o his jailer of the tragedy. The shirt he wore was the one he had on when the tragedy was enacted. There was blood on the sleeve. Hill kissed the stains and cried. Once the murderer 'was well- to-do. It is said that during most of j the ten years of their married if e the had been jealous of Mrs. Hill, who was a woman, so the neighborhood reports have it, of excellent character, intelligent? and ; not bad looking. Hill is well known here. He has travelled some little in the South in recent years. ; MARRIED HERE TODAY. Mr. Edward. Harrell and Miss Delthana Pearce of this county, were quietly married in this city today at the parsonage of St, Paul M. E. church, Rev. N. II. D. "Wil son officiating.

LIBRARY NOTES A library ; is not a luxury but one of the necessaries of life. Beecher. i The public library is an adult school ; it is a perpetual and life long continuation class ; it is the ; greatest educational factor that we have. Besant. j Every man who rises above the common level has received two ed ucations:, the first from his teach ers; the second, more personal and important, from himself. Gibbon. North Carolina is rapidly com ing to the realization of the rela tion of the library to the life of her citizens.? She did a great deed when she established her Univers ity for the education of her citi zens who could attend, but prob ably a greater when she establish ed her library commission to dis tribute books to her people. The town libraries, the school libra ries, and the traveling libraries are playing a .most important part in the intellectual awakening of this State. They constitute a uni versity open to all our people. There are no entrance require ments save an ability to read and a love of knowledge. Our city has a reading room second to none in the State for at tractiveness and our library is well selected. However, we must not be content.' Our library must keep pace with the marked prog ress of our town and be an intel lectual light not only to Golds boro, but to Wayne county and an inspiration to our sister towns of the state, i LIBRARIAN.
