Charlotte Observer: A gentleman of this
city has received from the President of the
Historical Society OF Worcester, Mass, a
letter conveying intelligence of the existence
of a paper among the Society 5 records which
will forever set at rest all Doubts relative to
the authenticity of the Mecklenburg Decla-
ration of Independence, and the Goth OF
May, 1115. Certified copies OF the paper
have been sent for, and we are informed that
the gentlemen referred to viii soon bring to
light all the facts connected viii this impor-
tan historical event. It'll sad Intelligence
Of the death of Mr.. Richard A. Springs
was announced by telegraph yesterday. lie
died In New York inthe morning at o clock.
The telegram confined no further partlcu-
lars, except that the body would be sent to
Charlotte as soon as possible. The tomato
crop about Charlotte suffers from the rot.
At the funeral of Gen. James Shields in
Carrollton, Mo-, last Wednesday the two
swords presented to him By the States of lii
nois AMI South Carolina for gallantry in the
Mexican war were crossed over the coffin.
The Gift of Illinois cost $1,000 and that Of
South Carolina IS. 900, and both are richly
studded with Jewels. 1t is a remarkable fact
in connection With the vicissitudes of the old
hero that these swords were for a long time
IN pawn at one of the Carrollton banks for
money to keep the General from actual sui
fering. The immediate cause OF Gen:
Shields death was the opening of the old
wound received by him at the battle of Cerro
Gordo.

Bob Jones Exit.

A correspondent of the Nere describes the
execution of Robert Jones, colored. for muir
der, at Tarhoro:
Tie has always had a most ravenous appe-
tlte, none of the phases Of the trying ordeals
through which he has passed since Christ
mas, 1877, have interiered with it until the
last act in the drama to-day shut off his
capacity for getting away with hog and
homlny.
As an evidence Of his fondness for grub |
cite the following told me by his counsel
During his first trial at the Spring term,
1873, jones through his counsel appealed To
Judge Henry TO suspend the proceedings of
the court a few moments SO that he might
partake OF his breakfast, having been brought
III from jail before the meal was served to the
prisoners. Tie has never grumbled at his
prison fare and Is a great fayOrite with all his
custod ans. de has been a prisoner under
two different sheriffs and jailors. Like all
other negroee vino en- their days with u rope
around their necks, Jones has
FOUND IL NEAREST y sUREST ROUTE TO
HEAVEN
to be via the gallows. He has of course
made a profession of religion and went
straight from the gallows to glory as soon as
the trap tel.
Jones ate a hearty breakfast this morning
and all the forenoon was calm and
COOL AS THE CENTRAL SEEDS OF A CUCUM-
Der.
The religious exercises, in which he Joined
with ZeSt, did not seem to excite him. and
generally he was taxing things as quietly as
though 1t was the hanging Of some one else
he was going to attend in such a short
while.
THE OF nSJTC SrE\Er
At 1890 the sheriff with the prisoner. in
an open wagon, left the jail, the Edgecombe
pany IN red shirts, acting as an escort part
talked for a long time, %strenuously denying
his guilt. At times he would laugh and
joke, and seemed to take particular delight
in poking fun at the sheriff as well as at
others. In his farewell speech he dwelt long
on his religious experience, and stated that
he believed that he was going straight to
heaven. He was by turns witty and elo-
quent, and was one of the coolest men ever
seen on the gallows. When he had finished
he drunk a glass Of wine ia remembrance of
his brethsen In Christ, and shook hands
with many who went up for that purpose.
The minister then prayed for him, spoke a
few words Of warning, srng a hymn, and
then the cap was drawn oyer his face, the
moose adjusted, and at 12:33 the trap was
sprung, and the body of Robert Jones was
| dangling in the air. At the first he seemed
to suffer severely. At the expiration of
twenty-six minutes he was pronounced dead,
| and then it was ascertalned that he died OF
~strangulatlon.
