WEBS TIERS SENTENCE.-Dr. Webster
was convicted Of the murder of DR.. Parkman, ON
Saturday night last. On Monday morning he
was brought into court to receive tine solemn
sentence. He looked gloomy in the extreme,

dcnsey crowded. At 10 o'clock the Court came
in, and Mr.. Clifford narrated the fact Of the in
dictnent, trial and verdict, and moved that the
Court now pronounce the final sentence. The
prisoner rose and was asked by the Clerk what
he had to show why the sentence Of death should
not be pronounced against him. The prisoner
bowed and took his seat in silence.
Chief Justice Shaw then addressed him. In
conclusion the Judge said-"And now nothing
remains, but the solemn duty Of pronouncing
the sentence, which the law fixes for the crime
Of murder. Of which you now stand convic ted !:
which sentence is, that you, John w. Webster,
be removed from this place, and be detained in
close custody in the prison of tn is county, and
thence taken at such time as the Executive
Government Of this Commonwealth may by
their warrant appoint, to the place Of execution,
and there be hung by the neck till you dead
and may God Of his infinite goodness have
mercy on your soul"

THE EAST TENNESSEE AND GEOR.
GIA RAILROAD.

AS there are many rumors afloal in regard
to an organized company Of individuals in
and o: the Sa'e Of Georgia. for The pur-
pose, as is understood. of interfering with
the completion of that part CT the East
Tennessee aud Georgia Railroad within the
limits Of that Stale. and to deiraud the
Company of its right. guaranteed by the
constitutional authorities of Georgia, to
construct that work. it is perhaps just and
proper that we should mike brief state
men' of the facts as far as, we have bee"
able to gather them.
In tie year 1910. an association of indl.
vidnals, (nine of whose names appear upon
the Eecord) procured the passage of ali act
by the Georgia Legislature granting them
charter to construct n railroad from Cross
Plains (now Dalton) to the State line at the
Red Clay Council Ground, by the name and
>tvle Of .sThe Cross Plains and Red Cay
Branch Rail Roaa Company Of Georgia. -
Tins act extends all the rights and privi'
eyes usually granted to railroad companies
and section provides 'that no other ra'l'
road shall hereafter be permitted to be con-
struc'ed within twenty miles OF the route

section 10 reserves to the General Assem-.
bly, the right 10 repeol the act of incorporo.

section IS IN the following words:
"SEc. 10. find be ii further enacted by

General Ass mby deem 1t advisable, they
may repeal this act; and it it be repealed,

The passage of TINS act; and 1t they do not,
their charter shall be orfeited 10 all n'ents
and purposes"
Section 0 allows the Company ten years
to complete said rond, from and after the
passage of the act.
The stock Of this Company was nominal,
