ATTEMPTS SUICIDE Negro Stanton, Locked Up Mon¬ day Evening, Cuts Ugly Gash in Throat With Razor. Wound Sewed Up and He Hay Live Em Stanton, the Hullpaslure River negro, who was brought here aud locked up on Mondav, made a desperate attempt to take his life on Wednesday night, a razor being used for the purpose. Henry Baker, who is one of the seven prisoners, but a''trusty,1' had been using the razor on the previ¬ ous day, and left it in th" cell. Stanton says that he cut his throat about 10 o'clock, but, being locked in the cage by himself, the crime was not discovered until early Thursday morning, and then only bv the appearance of blood stain?, as he had covered his neck and face with bed clothing. The wound, which bled profusely, is a de*»p one immediately in front, partly sever¬ ing the wind-pipe, but, while the knife marks reach from car to ear, the vital region of the jugular was not deeply cut. He was attended by all three of the resident physicians, and, while we did not hear their opinion after the wound was dressed, the general impression seems to be that the chances for and against him are about equal. Stanton's fellow-prisoners now recall certain remarks made by him yesterday which pointed to self-de¬ struction, but at the time not un¬ derstood by them. It is said that he sent bis purse home by some! one yesterday evening, and express¬ ed a desire to see his boy. He is a large man, perhaps forty years of age, and is said to haye Indian blood in his veins, a claim which is strengthened somewhat by his prominent cheek-bones and color. The crime with which tbe negro is charged and for which he was locked up, is the seduction of his step-daughter, the circumstances being aggravated, according to the evidence, by cruel treatment, threats etc. Died Harry, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Simmons, died at their home near Headwaters,pf tu¬ bercular-meningitis, o» April l-8th. at the age of 13 years, 5 months and 16 dave, and was buried from the Headwaters church on Sunday afternoon iu the presence of a large gathering of friends, who, with their tears and flowers, desired to P^y" their last tribute of respect, tfflsTf supered for several weeks, aud to Afc: «o young was particular¬ ly dist*eaM|»& viewed from a hu¬ man standpoint >t for one of such a lovely 'diajWjiMon a?d of such tender years, irs Jftfl belie'.'* that our Heavenly Father has a beater place than this world rcan afford.

P*per emly fl-iubscrito School Book Adoption The State Board of Education met in Richmond last week and adopted text hooks for the public ?chools of Virginia for the next four yfars. The Board adopted the ''single ist" preferred and clamored for by uost of the people, yet the country will rot he happv, because the new ist will necessitate almost an en- ire change in this and many coun¬ ts, perhaps only two of the old Kiok9 being retained. One feature ;onne»:ted with the move is favora¬ ble, and that is that the price of he hooka will be decidedly lower, ind the old b>oks should be saved is they can be used in the ex¬ change. The new list includes the follow- ng books: Playmate's Primer, Sheppe's Word Studies, Webster's )ictionaries, Hyde's ""Grammar.0, Chandler and Cfaitwood's Makers of American History, Lee's New Jchool History, Frye's Geotjraphie?, 'olaw's Arithmetic for the coun- ies aud Southworth-Stone Arith- netic for certain cities, Duggar's Agriculture.
