While There is Life There is Hope.

George Wallace the colorcd man who
was convicted Of murder, and sentenced
to be hung on the 24th INST, was grant
ed respite of thirty days by Gov H.
D. McDaniels. The petition in behalf
of Wallace, being a very strong and
clear one, and the Executive not having
the time to give the matter a thorough
investigation before acting has ordered
the SHERIFF of Chatham county to post
pone the execution until Sept 28th
1883 and then to satisfy the law, if not
otherwise ordered. We are of the opin-
ion that Wallace will yet escape the
punishment of which many believe him
undeserving.

a Large Check on a Single,

Joseph G. Palmer, a California
pioneer, and at one time a banker
and politician, died recently at
Oakland at the age Of sixty-three.
Mr.. Palmer, in the early days of
California, was a member Of the
firm Of Palmer, Cook Il Co., a
bank which did an immense bust
ness, and whose influence was felt
throughout the State. To show
his readiness to adopt original
methods in emergency, it is related
that once Il depositor called to
draw a large sum of money Gwen
ty-eight thousand dollars from the
bank. Mr.. Palmer's consent was
necessary, but he had been called
away to attend to some duty in q
lumber yard a mile or more from
the bank. Thither the depositor
hastened, and made known his
wants and the necessity of having
them attended to at once. Mr..
Palmer could find neither pen, ink,
pencil " paper. But without q
moments hesitation he picked up
a shingle, borrowed a piece Of red
chalk, and with it wrote q check
on the shinglcin large and distinct
letters for twcnty-eight thousand
dollars. This was good when pre-
sented for all the money the de
positor had in the bank, and it
proved an exceedingly good adyer-
tisement for Palmer. 1t gained
confidence for the original genius
of this great banker, whom every
body admired and trusted.
