Deatha Sentence of John
C..GeOrge.

80 . -
The trial Of John c. George
for the murder of Hosea Tow
cry concluded Wednesday NOR
ming OF last week, with a verdict
of guilty of murder in the first
degree. Application was made
for a new trial, and Thursday
evening Judge Hickerson an
nounced his decision.a He said
he desired TO grant all the OPP
portunity for defence that law
and justice would permit, but
upon examining competent au-
thorities, and reviewing the evil
dence, he could find no sufficient
reason for granting the request,
and it was, therefore, denied
He then asked the prisoner if
he had anything to say why
sentence of, death should not be
pronounced upon him, and the
reply was-''nothing." George
was then ordered to his feet,
when the sentence was pro-
nounceds concluding with the
announcement that it was
"the Judgment of this Court
that the sheriff Of this County
take you from the Jail of Lin
coin county on Friday, the 25h
dag Of September, 1871, between
the hours of 10 o'clock A. NJ.
and 2 o'clock P. NJ, to some con-
venient place within one mile Of
the courthouse at Fayetteville,
and hang you by the neck until
dead, dead, dead, and may God
have mercy on your soul y
George, during the pronoun-
cling Of his. sentence, mauifes-
ted. as little emotion as any one
in the court-room;. indeed, ex-
cept a little tremor at the begin
ming, he seemed to be rather in
diferentJas. though having but
little interest in the proceeding.
He has appealed to the Supreme
Court, which meets in Deem

Lyman's Historical Chart.

The scheme Of this chart is
to present the history of the
world by centuries, and also to
bring the eye to the aid Of the
mind in locating facts and e.
vents. Time is represented as
a stream, flowing a certain al
lotted space each century. The
events are written down in the
stream just when they took
place, those most prominent in
larger type. The date of the
century is given in large fig
ures in the border at the top of
each page, and the date in that
century of each event recorded
is placed just before the event.
Thus the reader has spread out
under his eye the history of a
century, and in such shape that
at a glance the mind takes in
the general aspect of the whole
period, the relative Importance
of each nation, the particular
history of each, and the contem-
poraneouS history of all, and
the mind is compelled to imbibe
and retain the facts which are
given, both to the eye and the
thought.
The Chart is really a success
full effort at Historical object
teaching" AS the mind re-
tains the details of a picture up
on which the eye has gazed, so
does it retain the exact appear
ance Of each page of the Chart,
and thus the history of a given
period is indelibly impressed
upon it through that medium
Mr.. L. j. Rives is agent for
this county.

Prof Hatcher stands in the front
rank as an educator. Every edu-
Gated person is not of necessity

r@ The last execution, I'M
der the sanction Of tao, in Fay
etteville, was of a negro slave
named Alfred Stephens, for the
murder of his owner Mr.. Will
liam Stephens. He washanged,
Friday, March 1st, 1861, and at
the gallows-situated on the
hill, above the African Metho-
dist Church--he made a ramb-
ling, disjointed speech, in which
he endeavored to transfer the
responsibility of the murder
from himself to his own mother
and a negro named Jake. In
July, 1864, there was triple
execution in Fayetteville
Three pe7sons--Pickett, Bur-
rough and John r. Massey
were shot near the Female A
cademy by order OF Gen. Paine,
under military rule, but every
body knows that they were mar
dercd. Neither law, justice nor
necessity required their death.
They were the victims Of a
bIood-thirsty tyrant.
