trap. Mr.. Boon remained alone on the
move off the trap. At 1:24 exactly
sheriff Cook taking an axe in his hands
said ''are you ready, look OUT" and the
huge trigger holding the trap in place was
thrown and Reynolds and Headen were
swung into eternity.
Their Souls In Eternity.
There was few shrugs of the
shoulders from each, quivering
OF the feet and in nine minutes
Headen was pronounced dead. Reynolds
pulse ceased to beat in II minutes. The
bodies were allowed to hang minutes
longer-18 minutes in all-and were
then lowered. Drs. Michaux, Glenn,
robertson, Wilson, Hughs and several
other physicians were in attendance and
testified that the necks of both were
broken. Their bodies were then lowered
into the coffins and the crowd dispersed.
1t Is estimated that not less than 10, 900
people witnessed the execution, but it is
the opinion of this writer that there
were not over 5000 present. True the
entire hillsides were lined with
people, but it requires lot

hitch anywhere and everything was per-
fected with ease. Sheriff Cook ''pre-
sided" without any visible nervousness or
embarrassment, although, of course, he
was exerting all his powers to keep him
self firm.
The Crime.
1t will be remembered that the CHRoN
ICLE, at the time of the crime for which
these men were executed, gave com
plete story of the same and of their sub
sequent arrest. Reynolds is young
white man who stood we'll in Guilford
county; Headen was young black ne
gro, an accomplice. The crime was the
murder of Uncle" Sol. Swain, wealthy
and highly popular old man Of Guilford
county, near Greensboro. For some
days the perpetrators evaded arrest-the
murder was skilfully made and for day
or two no clue could be found. "Murdel
will out" however, and when the arrest:
were made, so strong was the evidence
that the, murderers confessed the crime
Public feeling ran high at first and there
were strong talks of lynching.

THIRTY.NINE YEARS AGO.
The Thirty-ninth Marriage Anntver'
sary of President Harrison.

sary of President Harrison.
By Telegraph to State Chronicle.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20-Thirty nine
years ago to day the President and Mrs.
Harrison were made man and wife, and
until less than year ago their married
life had not been marred by any great
sorrow. But with the spring of this year
were developed the first symptoms of the
disease which has brought so much dis
tress aud anxiety. This was the saddest
anniversary of their marriage that the
President and Mrs. Harrison ever spent,
for with the wife and mother lying in the
valley of the shadow of death, the con
trast between former occurrences Of the
day was so marked that it brought addi-
tional anguish to the minds of those
| about the invalid.
There was no perceptible change in
| the condition Of Mrs. Harrison this morn
ing. The long hours of the night passed
as usual with her; intervals of sleep fol-
lowing periods of wakefulness. But with
the change from day to day is not per
ceptible to any degree, the physicians
and nurses have noticed steady pro
gress in the disease. There is never i'm
provement, except of an ephemeral, in
termittant character, and as each da.
passes the bare possibility of change fo
the better grows less until there is nov
little or no hope,

By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 20.-The Sec
ond professional event of the Colum
bian week took place this afternoon.
The parochial school boys and girls,
about $4,000 strong, marched over the
same route as'that taken yesterday by
the public schools. A distinguished
feature of to-day's demonstration was
the magnificent display made by the
floats. Buildings, residences and side
streets, which were free of bunting and
decorations, the day before, now tests,
fed by their glories of red, white and
blue, that patriotic sensibility of the
day and the occasion. The Springer
Institute children gave seventeen pre-
sentations, each one being perfect
picture. The front of the procession
was led by St. Xaviers college and
Parish school with a large number OF
dancing horn-pipes on bicycles. Sur.
prises were sprung all along the line.
Everything imaginable in the way Of
fantastic costuming was seen, while
the originality of the designs, the har.
mony of colors and adequacy of con.
ception brought out forth unstinted
praise.

In that great tower the congueror built,

And headsman grim, leaning on his
dumb axes.
And while he gazed, his thoughts found

and dreams
That with another sun, he shall be rid
Forever more of fallen Raleigh's scorn,
But James shall make his pigmy boast
in vain
My breath is his to take away, but not my

Nor with his small vindictive envy kill

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 20.-The reception
and ball rendered to the visiting civic
and military visitors at 10th street armory

blast at two o'clock a. m. Both the
participating local and visiting military
officers appeared in full dress uniform
with side arms. Ten thousand double
invitations had been accepted, and at

had been coming and going for couple
of hours, fully ten thousand were pro-

dance room. Vice President Merton
dropped in for few moments after leav-

folk, Va, as follows: Average wages
per hand increased from 1922 in 1880, to
