TIE ARCHER MURDER CASE.
In Appeal by the Condemned Desperate
Which the Supreme Court May Sustain.

The case against Samuel Archer who was
Eecently convicted at Shoals of completely in the
nurder of John Bunch. and sentenced to hang
On July 8. has been appealed to the Supreme
Court on the ground that the murder
with which the prisoner was charged was
committed in Orange county, while he was
tried and sentenced in Martin county. 1t is
quite probable that the Supreme Court will re-
verse the case as the evidence shows clearly that
although Bunch was taken from his home in
Martin county by his murderers, he was actually
killed In acave in Orange county two miles from
the Martin county line. The law requires that,
nnless q change Of venue is taken, q prisoner
must be tried in the county where the crime with
which he is charged was committed. II the case
Is reversed it viii probably be of no other benefit
to Archer than to delay his execution, as he can
bs tried for the crime in the Orange county
court.

Union, to Go Into Effect To-Day.

The boss plasterers held meeting at the Office

ports of the committees on fixing scale Of

The following prices were adopted For what is
known as "lad-on" work, 20 cents per yard, and
ifthe first coat is required to be dry before the
second coat is put on, % cents per yard; for
sand float finish,' 2 cents per yard extra; for
brick walls, Is cents per yard: for jobs of $50
yards and under, from 5 to 10 cents per yard ad-
ditional shall be charged.
1t was unanimously agreed that none should
depart from these rates, and it was decided TO
put them into effect to-day. A constitution and
by laws were reported and adopted. The addi-
tional officers elected were NJ G. Anderson,
vice-president, and G. Cornelirs, treasurer. At
the meeting next Monday night it will probably
be decided that nine hours shall constitute a
days work for employees, at the same wages per
hour.

County Printing.

The law has fixed certain rates us
reasonable compensation to publish
ers for all legal advertising. AS u
consequence, when some poor unfcr-
tunate is sold out Of house and home.
at the same time probably not having
enough of this worlds gains about
him with which to pay for his supper'
he must pay legal rates for advertis-
ing that house and home. all that Is
left to him, for sale. In fixing rates
to be charged for legal advertising,
the legislature, in its wisdom. con.
templates that the publisher shall
receive what his services are REASON
ABLY WORTH, no moro, and no less.
Now, in the matter Of our own
county printing it seems to us. and
we believe that every liberal minded
person of the county will agree with
us, that the county can as well afford
to pay for what it receives as its poor
citizen who is '.sold out" Are not
the papers Of the county Of more ben
eft to it than to any individual with
in its boundaries! The publishers of
county papers, ourselves. for instance
if you please. never lose an opportu-
nifty to advance the interests OF the
county, always striving with might
and main to promote the good of the
county it is their fortune to repre-
sent. Then why not. when the op.
portunity is afforded, make this ben
eft mutual. and allow the poor prin.
ter his full meal! We have come to
this cOnclusion-that the county can
better afford to pay for its work than
publishers can to do it for nothing, or
at less than the actual cost.

A Close Call.

Last Monday afternoon about 2
O'Clock the town was aroused py that
terrible cry "Fire!" bearing the pain
full news that our new school build
ing was burning down. Very little
time was occupied in getting to work
to save the building and with two
good streams of water and the united
efforts of host of determined work.
ers. the building was saved from to-
tai ruin after couple hours hard la
Dor. The fire caught somewhere be.
meath the building, from the furnace
and followed the space between walls
up to the top of the building, so that
it was probably burning some time
before discovered. As the building
was soon completely filled with smoke
so that it was impossible to enter, it
was very difficult to work to much
advan tage, it being impossible, for a
while, to ascertain the exact location
of the fire. The fire was confined to
tbs south end of the building and the
damage done is mostly to the two
rooms on that side. The other two
rooms are not much damaged further
than being badly smoked, and will at
once be repaired and occupied by the
school.
Probable loss is about So, 900, which
is amply covered by insurance. The
building and furniture is insured for
$3.50. Hartford, Conn.,, $3.50;
German, of Freeport, $4,000; North
western National. $4,000.
Special credit is due the employees
of the railroad company for their
help. Engines were run to a conve-
nient place on the track and from
them tanks were loaded and hauled
to the fire. There was, however, suf-
ficient water in the cisterD.
