Upon Tuesday afternoon, May 7th, 1912, the Semi-Annual Flower Show was given by the women of the Civic league in League hall. The hall was such a mass of gorgeous bloom that it was quite a few moments before it were possible for the observer to take in all of the beautiful details. Hanging in the doorway was an exquisite design <of a ball of flowers. Immediately in front of the entrance was a large, round table with smaller tables surrounding it. These occupied the central position and were a mass of sweep peas. To the right were the potted plants of all kinds and slips for rooting, which were for sale. Then came the vegetables such as asparagus, lettuce, peas and so forth emd alsV) a fine basket of prize strawbeiries. All around the rest of the room were masses of fernB, geraniums, cacti and roses displayed in the shelves one above the other. There were also magnolias?the first of the rear from the garden of Capt. Malloy. Taking the display as a whole it Is impossible to conceive of a more beautiful sight. The premiums awarded were as follows: Best white rose. "American Beauty," Mrs. Kinsey.

Wythevllle, Va., May 17.?Floyd Allen's jury today found him guilty ol murder in the first degree. Death in the electric chair is the penalty. After a night of deliberation, which at one time threatened a disagreement, the Jury filed into court this morning and delivered its verdict. Sentence was deferred, as Allen may bo called as a witness in the trials of his kinsmen, who are also charged with the five murders in Garrvil county court court. The other prisoners probably will be tried immediately. Claude, Friel and Victor Allen, Byrd Marion and oiana upwards, are under indictment for the murders, while Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards, two other members of the gang, are still at large. On the first ballot taken by the jurors the vote stood ten for murder in the first degree, and two for murder in the second degree. The verdict came as a distinct surprise, as it was thought the jury was hbpelessly divided. One of the twelve men is known to have said previous to being summoned for Jury that "you can't always get justice/in courts and maybe the Aliens Jlgjjte not far wrong," airt the atfMKNk for the Commonwealth hntfl E|M|^n-ange sypp 11 mi ^ sh Carroll county^! pay, repeat hie at38 |?u Icicle, and bile or pore' M^^Hffiocfced In the cell -with fyinajl ?*FK* " * ' ;- Ttanrsd*! ^#^ Cheraw will .celeb&wuftg year on Thursday.

The robbers did not molest the pasngers, but one trainman received se3U8 injuries as he lay bound near e safe when the dynamite blew it pieces. The two men boarded the flyer as, owded with passengers, it was about halt at Okolona to - take on water. The safe was shattered and the bants had an easy time collecting their 5t, most of which was government nds consigned from New Orleans r the East.
