Fayette County Murderer Electrocuted
on Monday Morning.
Jeremiah Weeks, negro World war
veteran, of Fayette county, was elec-
trocuted at Rockview penitentiary, on
Monday morning, for the murder of
the young son of his sister-in-law,
Mary Williams, who he is also alleged
to have clubbed to death. The mur-
der took place on January 10th, last,
at Lambert, a small mining town.
Mrs. Williams and her young son
were brutally slain by being beaten
on the head with a club; the Williams
home was set afire and burned to the
ground, and two other children per-
ished in the fire. Weeks was also
blamed for starting the fire.
He was tried in March for the mur-
der of Mrs. Williams, was convicted
of first degree murder and sentenced
to prison for life. In June he was
tried for killing the child, was con-
victed and given the death penalty.
An application for a new trial was
refused and the Board of Pardons, in
October, refused to intervene.
When Weeks was brought to the
death house, on Saturday, he had
about ten dollars in his possession
which he gave to the penitentiary
authorities and asked that it be sent
to his wife for their two-year-old
daughter. Weeks was accompanied to
the chair, on Monday morning, by
Chaplain P. N. Osborne and Captain
Goddard, of the Uniontown Salvation
Army. To the latter he maintained
that he was innocent.
Because of the fact that Weeks was
a World war veteran the American
Legion, of Uniontown, raised a fund
of $100 and gave the body private
burial on a plot near Milesburg.
New Churches Benefit Penn State
Students.
With two new chnrches just com-
pleted and two more contemplated in
the borough of State College the re-
ligious life for students at the Penn-
sylvania State College is being made
more attractive and influential as the
young people are drawn into church
activities.
Within the past few weeks ‘a
Friends Meeting House and a Baptist
church have been opened, each with
4 large number of students partici-
pating in their activities. In all parts
of the State members of the leading
denominations represented in the
Penn State student body have shown
interest and have given support in
the erection of church buildings in
State College.
. Work has been started on a new
structure for the Protestant Episco-
pal church, and for some time plans
have been ready for a new Reformed
church structure. State-wide aid has
come in both instances. At the pres-
ent time there are about 90 Baptist
students at Penn State; 60 of the So-
ciety of Friends; over 200 Protestant
Episcopal and about 260 Reformed.

However, as this edition went to press

know whether the afternoon prooved
propitious for the games or not.

Service Continued?
The annual enrollment of members of the Red Cross will begin to-
morrow and continue for one week.
This is a far more important matter than many of us understand.
The Red Cross is only a banner to
which we all rally for our mutual
good. Its application, locally, is so one-sided that we might be charged
with using the insignia of that world-wide agency of mercy as a eamou-
flage of our own selfishness.
Last year Bellefonte and vicinity raised $1,050 in the enrollment. Of
that amount only $49 found its way into the treasury of the National
Red Cross. ;

The balance was spent right here in a service of inestima-
We say inestimable, for who is there who could put a price on what
Miss Anna F. McCauley, our Community Nurse, has done during the
vear? Her service in the homes of
those who need it most and can af-
ford it least has been God-sent. In the schools this tactful, observ-
ing, patient and cheerful young woman has picked out and ‘taken for
treatment many a child who might have developed into a physical dere-
lict had there been no one trained as she is to detect the first symp-
toms of insidious disease. To many of the expectant mothers among
the poor she has been a blessing. Yes, also in many homes of the more
fortunate her service has been as a ray of hope at times when it has
been utterly impossible to find another nurse in an emergency.
Really the community nurse is in a manner a Free Lance, for she
is always available to go anywhere,
everywhere for an hour or so when
no other can be procured and when an hour or so might mean saving
the life of someone’s dear one.
And what does all this cost? Last year we got it for $1,050. That
was not quite enough, however.
The local treasury is dry and ne funds
are at hand to pay the bills for November and December. Every penny
that is given Miss McCauley, either
as humble expressions of gratitude
or as payments for service by those who can afford to pay something,
goes right into the treasury in the
to pay bills of the local chapter.

Dear Friend: —
Emma Pifer Bucher has renewed
her subscription to the Watchman
and told you that she was raised in
Pine Grove Mills. I want to renew
my subscription and tell you that only
an old-fashioned picket fence separat-
ed my home from Mrs. Bucher’s. Our
childhood days were spent together.
We found Mrs. Bucher in Akron
soon after they located here.
With best wishes for your holiday
season, I am,
Yours truly,
C. S. DANNLEY.
Isn't it the truth that the smallness
of the world is frequently shown by
just such an incident as is referred to
in Mr. Dannley’s letter above? Who
would have thought when he and Mrs.
Bucher were children in the peaceful
village of Pine Grove Mills that fate
had charted their course through the
years so that they were to meet again
in a busy city in Ohio.—Ed.
A Letter and an Explanation.
Altoona, Pa., Nov. 21, 1927.
The Democratic Watchman,
Dear Editor:—
In a recent issue of your paper you
aver that the subscription price would
not pay for the paper it is printed on.
Well, while that might be so, I insist
that I do not owe any man, woman,
boy or girl in the broad expanse of
this earth a penny, and the only com-
modity I have for sale would be the
modest home and some shares of good
stock I own.
I am not aiming anything at you,
but at the people, in general. As I
travel up and down the avenues of
this life I can say: I am ready to mi-
grate and tell them to examine their
own souls instead of aping at others
as though they were escaped convicts.
The money order you will find to
be at your option to send the Watch-
man to
Yours respectfully,
EDGAR D. REARICK.
Mr. Rearick’s allusion is to the gist
of a “Sling” we slung several weeks
ago. But as his reply indicates he
realizes that it wasn’t slung at him
or at any of the others of our sub-
scribers who are as prompt as he is
in keeping paid in advance. We wrote
the “Sling” 'in answer to a charge
that we were inconsistent in .accept-.
ing advertising- from Republican can-
didates for office and explained that
no paper could be published at its
quoted subscription price were it not
for the income from advertising.
While we know we couldn’t be pub-
lishing a paper at all if it wasn’t for
the advertising we get we are just
as conscious of the fact that we
wouldn’t be getting any advertising
if we didn’t have subscribers to read
it. Both are indispensable.—Ed.
