FOU EBENEZER HIGH SCHOOL. Another School District iii Ocopeo VotcH for Advanced Method?.

The people of Oconce have a right to as good schools at> any other sec tion of the State. May they soon realise this right and join hands to consolidate small country schools Into the latest Improved graded systems, and thus put our county where she belongs-In the front rank of advanced educational facili ties.

Chesterfield, Va., Sept. 9.-Severe repudiation of Beulah Blnford, as a girl from whom he vainly tried to detach himself, and tho direct Impu tation that tho jury judged him moro for his Indiscretions than the tragedy itself, carno to-day from the lips of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., convicted last night of wife murder. "Any other jury, composed of city folk with mundane views, would have been mo:o merciful," was bis belief. "Fearfully unfair," ho muttered In lils cell when asked his opinion of the verdict. "Beulah Blnford," he added, "fig ured largely in the verdict, more largely than the testimony ol' the kill ing. These country folk cannot un derstand how a woman of the under world can be 'crazy' about a man. ; They don't know when that happens how very hard it is to get rid of ber. "I 'have drilled along hoping against hope thal something would occur to rid mo of thal Blnford girl. I And once a wom-n of that kind fools I thal you no lou, er take any interest j In her, she usually seeks solace in suicide?. So I drilled along, waiting for a chance to break off relations! without having her hurt herself. I tried hard lo persuade her in ibo meantime lo live a proper life. "Had this casi? been tried in any court whore those things are not un common, this morning I would have boon a freeman. Interpreting Judge Watson's instructions to the jury, f cannot seo how the verdict could have been other than not guilty. I believe the jury was Influenced by tho one-sided newspaper reports be fore I had a chance to present my side Of the case.

There were many rumors abroad to-day that Beattie would never dio in the (decirle chair: that be would lind some means of commit ling sui cide when all hopo of gaining his freedom was gone. , Billy Sampson, his ('bum. and one of tho important witnesses at the trial, was (poded as saying: "Henry Beattie will not die in tho chair. Il will be some other way." "If he is convicted he has nerve enough to kill himself," said Beulah Blnford just before her departure from Richmond. A Silent Breakfast. A jailer brought tho prisoner his breakfast. Ile ate it In silence. On his thin, pallid lace dickered a smile as bo gazed through tho grated win dow at two newspaper men lolling on tho grass. Some time to-day lt was expected Beattie would be taken to tho State penitentiary In Richmond to await lils electrocution on Novemhor 24th, or the granting of a new trial by tho Court of Appeals, which meets early in that month. Many lawyers to-day, discussing the possibility of a writ of error, wero of the opinion that lt. would not be granted. The Court, of Appeals, they assorted, sot a proc?dent.
