Idella Powell Banks, widow: of
a well-to-do cotton planter, is in
the Brooks county jail tonight,
charged with the murder of Al-
bert Powell Banks, her four vear
old sop. She has confessed the
crime, and said to a minister who
called upon ner this afternoon
that she wanted to be hanged as
soon as possible.
According to her statement, the
boy was sc ugly in appearance
and so lacking in intelligence
that she was ashamed to have
him grow to manhood. Last Fn-
day she visited relatives in Dow-
des county. On the traia return-
ing she made up her mind to
murder the little tellow, who sat
in the seat facing her and playing
with the conductorTs punch.
On her way to her residence she
passed a pond and threw the boy
into it.. She says he seemed io
know what her intentions were
and held on to her dress 80
strongly that she was afraid the
struggle would attract somebody.
T After he was inthe water she
went to her homé and went abont
her business as usual until last
night, when the body was found
and she was called befere the cor-
onerTs jury: She is possessed of}
considerable property and has no
other children. She originally
came from the North.
The murdered boy was not bod-
ily deformed in any way, but his
face was disfigured from birth.-"

Death of Rev. F. S. Stickney.
Wilson. N. C., Aug. 14""News
reached here today of the death
of Rev. F. 8. Stickney, rector of
the Monumental Episcopal church
in Richmond, Va. The body will
reach his tatherTs home here to-
day and the faneral be held from
St. Timothy's churcn Sunday. He
was much loved here and the
whole community is in mourning,
"wo weeks ago tomorrow he
preached in the DiscipleTs church
to a large congregation. It was
a great sermon. The next day
with his family, who had beeu
spending the summer at his fath-
erTs, Col. J. B. Stickney, he re-
turned to Richmond. He seemed
in perfect health. About a week
ago he became aick, and his dis-
ease developed into gastritia.
Mr..Stickney was born in Beau-
fort county thirty-six years afo-
he is the only son of Col. J, B.
Stickney, a wealthy retired plant-
er. Heisa grandson ot Fenner
B. Satterthwaite, the eloquent
lender of the Beaufcré county bar
for many years. He was educat~
at the University of North Caro-
lhna and at Sewanee. He begat
tostudy law, but having been
calleu to the ministry, he took or-
ders in the Episcopal church: He
was ® Wiassionary in Western
North Carolina for a time and
won tive hearts of the people
wherever he preached. He suc-
ceeded Bishop Cheshire at Char-
Lotte, and a few years ago accept-
a call to Richmond where he was
meeting with great success. He
Was an eloquent evangelical
preacher, and had a special
lcharm for the young. He was
what you call a low churchman,
and a leader in the mission work
of his church. He leaves a wife

While ascending the hill just this
side of Wilkesboro, the horse be-
came frightened, wheeled around
and started back down the
hill on aswitt run. : Mr. Stanford
was thrown out of the buggy,
but retained . his hold of the
lines, and was dragged a con-
siderable distance, the wheel
passing over him several tines,
when one ofthe lines broke.
This left Mrs. Dunbar alone in a
buggy behind a runaway horse
with her little son. She realized
her perilous condition. She neith-
er screamed nor attempted to
jump out of the buggy, as most
\uaies with less nerve would have
dene, but carefully crawled over
the dash, steadied herself by tak-

over and got the line that wasnTt
broken, talking -gently to the
horse all the while. She regained
her seat in safety and had nearly
succeeded in stop; ing the horse

Here they met a man who caught
