BARNETT, Ga, November 25,-The
first hanging that ever took place in
Taliaferro County was the public
execution to-day, III Charlottesville.
of Samuel Armore, colored, for the
murder Of an old white man in April
last. The prisoner was first SEN
fenced to be hanged on October 21st,
but owing to his confession impli-
eating several other persons he was
respited until to day. The case
against the others was not made out,
however, though half the county be
lieves that Armore had accompices.
Just before the drop fell to-day
efforts were made by tho crowd
to induce him to tell
all he knew of the murder, but he
was sullenly silent on the subject
and talked only ON religious matters.
At L o'clock the trap sprung, and
in Is minutes he was dead. A large
number of white and colored persons
were present at the execution, which
took pace in Ellington meadow, on
the land of the murdered man, and
in sight of the spot where the deed
was committed.
The feeling against Armore was
very strong and principally among
the colored men, several of whom he
tried to implicate in the crime.
New York, November 25.-A spe:
cial from Lexington, S. c., says :
esquire Clark, colored, sentenced to
be hanged here to day, for the mur-

Hook, On October 19, has been re
spited till December % He was
twice convicted of the crime, and was
previously respited from the 2sth OF
October until to-day, when he re-
ceived another lease of life.
A special from Sumpter, S. g.,
says: Henry Johnson, negro, was
hanged here to-day for numbering
John Davis, also colored, on the 5th
of February last, at Hope Swamp,
about 20 miles from this place. On
account of its many peculiarities,
among which superstition and witch
craft largely figured, the crime for
which Johnson to day paid the
life penalty, was one Of
the most remarkable that
has occurred in the South for many
years. Up to the hour of his death
he maintained his belief in witch
craft, but admitted that the conjurer
whom he charged with leading him
into the commission of the murder OF
Davis, in order to gain possession OF
his wife, had deceived him, and
escaped by means of his art. He
met his fate firmly. The execution
was private, taking place in the jai
yard, shortly after l o'clock.

CHARLESTON, S. c., November 27.-
A brother of Richard James, who
participated in the crime, was hanged
in June last. The prisoner went to
the gallows to-day with a firm step.
He claimed to be innocent, but could
not say whether his brother was
guilty. When conducted to the
place of execution he obtained per
mission to address the crowd in front
of the Jail, which he did in wild
harangUe about his feeling sure of
forgiveness and eternal happiness.

graph Thursday evening, Oath inst, of the
death at Birmingham, Ala, that day, OF
Tim Homer, formerly of this city, who was
running ON the North and South Railroad
But little information could be obtained as
to the cause of his death, but it is supposed
to have been brought on indirectly by the
seige of yellow fever through which he went
during the late epidemic. His brother, Mr..
James Homer, an engineer on the K. & 0.
Railroad, forwarded money to friends to
procure metallic case and have the remains
properly buried there, at least until word
can be had from their mother, who is in

Chattanooga Times: Mr.. G. P Billingley,

he claims, are $500, and his liabilities
$4,000. He attempted to make a sale of
his assets to G.. M. Knox; President of the

ley. His liabilities were held principally in
Knoxville, and partially at Chattanooga, and
as soon as his creditors learned of the at
tempted sale, Fl. I. Cooper, a prominent
attorney of Knoxville, was sent down to

seemed to persuade him that the sale was
not legal. He came to the city yesterday
morning and made application for an in
junction to restrain the vendors from paving
Billingley any money. The injunction was
granted, and Mr.. Cooper left yesterday
afternoon to stop the sale.
