The Bateman Matter Again.

The Bateman matter it seems
has been revived. 1t was stated
last night that Governor Tillman
had issued instructions to the at.
torney general to enter suit against
w. G.. Bateman, the ex-treasurer
of the penitentiary, for the recov-
cry of the alleged shortage in his
accounts.-Columbia State.
If we are not out Of older, may
we not ask Governor Tillman to
order an investigation into the
facts as to whether any Of the
County Treasures except Able
vile, ever accounted for the bills
of the bank Of the State, which
were rendered by tho @. q g. rail
roadand other taxpayers for taxes
several years ago. Did the Treas
urers of Oconee, Anderson, Green.
vile, Laurens and Newberry ever
make formal settlement for such
bills-if such bills were ever ten
dered to them, or either of them ?
We Of course know nothing of this
matter, but we asked the proceed
ing administration several times
about this very matter.
If Mr.. Bateman is to be pushed
to the wall, why not let us know
how it is with the County Treasu-
rers? Treat all alike, Governor

1t is to be run on the same gene

1t is thought that this association
will benefit the old local company.
The field for this association is
very wide IS many new citizens

shocked by the announcement OF
the death of Mr.. Bob Chapman ON
Sunday, the 18th inst. He was a;
his home on a visit to his parents
and seemed to be in usual health
and after dinner on Sunday lay
down forest and while some of the
family were cheerfully conversing
with him, he raised himself up and
complained Of choking and fell
back on the bed and I'm a few min
utes was a corpse, Bob was a uni
versal favoritp, sober, moral, genial
and kind and q consistent Christ

and had been n member of the
Baptist Church for many years.

THE HANGING Last FRIDAY.
Tho Slayer OF Noah Ramage Suffers
Death.

Tho Slayer OF Noah Ramage Suffers
Death.
Judd ~Barksdale's sentence has beer
COMMITTED, Perry Gray has been res
pited, and Walkor Brown has paid the
penalty.
Brown was hanged Friday morning
Id the stable at the Jail.
Thursday evening he was received
into the A. M. Il. Church and on the
morning OF the execution, Rev. III. Il,
Lewis administered the sacrament 10
him. He expressed himself as perfectly
resigned to his fate and confident oil
salvation. A few minutes before going
TO the gallows he declared Lis innocence
OF murder to a reporter and said that II
he shot Ramage at all, It was an acct
dent.
It will be remembered that the killing
occurred as a party Of colored people
were returning, at 2 o'clock in the
morning, from a festival held in the
Holly Grove neighborhood one nightlast
November. The crowd had been play
ing cards n Ramage had played in
big luck. 1t was suggested that q halt
be called and the game finished. Ram
aReideclined and Brown forthwith drew
his pistol and shot him down. Ramage
died In about two weeks. The evidence
was overwhelming and tho jury
without hesitation found a verdict OF
guilty Of murder.
The hanging was "a quiet business
like affair. The n hundred and fifty
negroes on the street outside the Jail
observed good order, and everything
was in keeping with the calm of the
April day itself. The presence of the
Laurens Guards, who were depluyed
in squads inside the Jail yard n on
streets surrounding, no doubt contrib
uted to this admirable state of things.
The prisoner showed absolutely no
fear or emotion. Replying to a question
by h sheriff at the gallows he remark
ed that he had nothing to say. He as
cended to the platform without assist
ance and in less than ten minutes from
the time of leaving the Jail, his hands
were pinioned and the cap adjusted.
AT HOS a. m. the trap was sprung.
Death was to all appearances painless
and in 10 minutes the physicians pro-
nounced life extinct. After being sus-
pended ID minutes longer, the body was
cut down, placed in its coffin, and
turned over to relatives.
The execution was witnessed by about
twenty persons. The hanging of a man
Is not a pleasant event under n cir
cumstances. In this instance the duty
was done In a manner by which the no.
voting features were removed to the
furtheSt pOssible extent. Tho ofHcors
upon whom the law imposes the execu-
ton ofthe sentence performed their ask

case should take away all sensational
