B. F. Vann, Slayer of Oliver

Twenty-Five Years.
MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE
Counsel Takes Appeal, and Uail

Elisabeth City. N. C. .September
21.?Found guilty of murder 111 the
second degr?e. B. F. VdJMi was sen?
tenced this morning to a term of twen?
ty-five years In the State lVnUeii
tiary. Venn's testimony that he killed
Oliver Layd.n on Jaftjr 11 in # lf
defense during a quarrel over a small
debt, is believed by many to BSVS
saved him irom the electri'- chair. Tne
prisoner was brought into court at
9.30 o'clock this morning, after the
jury had announced that it had reach?
ed a verdict during the night. For the
first time during the entw.- trial aisj
mother and bisters were absent. Of
his counsel. Judge G. Wari arid W.
M. Bond were with him. Vann stood
up to hear the verdict without a per?
ceptible tremor, and wilt much of
the apparent indifference which has
characterized his manner ttroughout
the trial. Later, he heard sentence
passed on him withoit the ??shlest
change of expression on his counte?
nance.
Judge Lane declared that he had
not allowed hlmsilf to be swayed by
public sentiment, nor earrled away
by his sympathies. The sentence he
was about to impose, he said, would
find the prisoner a mature man at its
expiration, but would sti 1 leave him
an opportunity to come out snd do
something to redeem his past life.
Mr. Bond, for the prisoner, made
the formal motion that the verdict
he set aside snd a new trial granted
on errors to be assigned This mo?
tion was denied by the court. Counsel
then gave notice of appeal to the Su?
preme Court. Ball was fixed at $16.900.
Thus came to a cloee one of the
longest and probably the- mest bitterly 1
contested homicide trials In the rec- 1
ords of this county.

Dr. Hartman Sayn:
Writ* to Peruna Testimonial* If You
Want to Know the Truth.
The following letter was received by
Dr. Hartman through his regular corre?
spondence:
"I notice the testimonial of Mrs. .Mice
Bogle, whirh you give in your last article.
If I should write her do you suppose she
would give me further particulars? I
have heard it said many times that such
testimonial-, are fakes; that they are either
absolutely fictitious or else the people
I have tana hired to write them. 1 have
j been inclined to write you a great mans
I times, l)ut these atisjss about patent med?
icine advertisements have di-<ouraged me
from doing so I am afflicted with ca?
tarrh, and should like very much to find
a remedy -u<h at your article describes."
To the above letter Dr. Hartman made
the following reply:
My dear Madam: I do not wonder
,that you are confused and have lost all
'faith in advertised remedies. There has,
? been V) mu< h said against them, so much :
I controversy concerning them. I am not!
i surprised that some people have lost con- .
I iidence in them
j I wish you would write Mrs. Bogle, as
one woman to another I wish vou
would ask her whether she has been hired
to write such a testimonial, whether her
testimonial represents the truth.
1 hope sou will remember that she is a '
housewife, like yourself, that she has
i something to do besides write letters; that
i she is a woman of moderate means and I
; cannot afford to write these letters and
? pay her own postage. I hope you will
j en<lose stamp so ?he tan answer you
j without los> to her.-elf. Mrs. Bogle is a ,
i very estimable lads , and no doubt you
j will both profit by being acquainted with '
! each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna for
your catarrh I would be very glad to hear ?
of the result. 1 can assure you that no'
use wiil be made of sour letter, except by ;
your written consent. Mrs. Bogle very I
; kindly consented to have me use her letter, j
j which is my reason for doing so, and you |
! will be treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic catarrh
who take Peruna. There is no doubt
; about that. Some surprising recos'eries
j are reported almost daily. I have thou
I sands of them in my files.
Peruna is for sale at all drug stores.

IM STATISTICS
IN FAMILY BIBLES
Public Urged to Co-Operate in
Securing Record of Vital
Statistics.
"In Old Virginia.'' nays the bulle?
tin of the State Health Department, in
further explaining- snd commenting on
the new vital statistics law, "the fam?
ily Bible was the repository for domes?
tic annals. Kept in the darkened par?
lor,, on a centre table, the Bibla was
opened with due solemnity whenever a
new entry had to be made in chron?
icling the life history of the family.
With a heart full of joy. the father
would open the great book at the space
I between tbe Apocrypha and the New
j Testament and would write proudly
[ the name of bis new-born son. while
J the mother stood by with the babe in
! her arms and watched the slowly
? moving quill. In the same room, heavy
hearted and sad. the trembling hand
of tha beraved parent would trace the
linen that told the passing of his pride
and Joy In future years, grandcfcU
I dren conld read the faded lines and
I learn from whence they came and
i what a heritage was theirs.
"This beautiful custom has passed.
I War and Are and poverty and neglect
; have destroyed many of these ancient
; tomes; our families to-day do not
: cherish these volumes and uae them as
j did their fathers for the record of their
; race. This is to be regretted, but in Its
place, the State offers the individual its
protecting care. The records which he
I might misplace, the State will pre
I serve; the dates which he might forget,
j the State will record. Every Vir?
ginian is assured a safe, undying re
! cord of bis life.
"The new vital statistics law is as
' simple as it can be made to secure
, statistics that are valuable. It im
1 poses no hardship on any citizen, hut
fully protects the records of the peo
| pie's life. Tet as the law is altogeth?
er new in many localities, its opera?
tion cannot be made immediately suc?
cessful without the co-operation of tha
people. The law is not a health meas
I ure exclusively, or even to any conald
. erable extent. It is intended for the
I people and is aimed to serve thorn. If
it is to be effective, its provisions must
be upheld by thoae who are the prln
slpal beneficiaries under it. Every citi?
zen should co-operate to enforce tha
law that protects him and KTs neigh?
bors. All the people should unite t<*
secure for Virginia records that shall
be complete, accurate and reliable?
records that will give to posterity a
true roll of our people."
