by Colonel j. X. Edmondson and James

cOrted TO the hotel
The weather was all that could have
been asked for, and VIII N Colonel OFer-
rail- took the stand I'm the courtroom at
midday he was greeted by large body
OF the representative people OF all parts
OF the county.
The Colonel was at his best, and spoke
for one hour and twenty minutes IN MS
most able and eloquent strain, and AT the
conclusion OF his speech II was the con-
sensus OF opinion that a man that can
make as able an address and such de-
fence Of Democratic principles as he did.
is worthy OF the honors of Governor.
Contrary to expectations, the Hon. jerry
Simpson did not arrive, and thus were all
disappointed In the hoped-for joint dis
cussion between him and Colonel OYER

When Sockless Jerry failed to arrive,
Dr. Boyd, of Eagle Rock. Botetourt
county. rampant ProhIbiuonist, made
a speech OF over an hour, which was
nothing less than a TRADE of abuse and
denunciation OF everybody and every
thing that did not come up to his status
of belief. Mr.. William a. Run. one
OF the Third party managers, followed I'm
few remarks. and after he left the stand
the climax was capped by "Simese"
we'll known negro boy. who took the
stand and delivered a regular negro
serio-comic stump speech 1t was the
event OF the day from the Peoples party
stand, and the negro created more in
terest and had larger crowd than his
distinguished predecessors on that stand.
Ex-Governor Lee. and other distinguish

he confessed his guilt. Pleading guilty
he was condemned, sentenced ana allow

mob crying out for vengeance The crowd
was composed OF the best men OF the

asked II he had any dying request 10
make. and he said: NO" II Was then
mt to a vote how he should be killed,
and It was agreed TO hang him. During
ali this time he never moved muscle

going on. When the rope was placed
around his neck, and ne was told 70

so. and said he was prepared 20 die ana
met his God.
He said he was ready 10 go and had no
fears nor any requests 10 make. His legs
and arms were piniOned and a large red
handkerchief tied over his eyes FOR
death cap, and then he pleaded earnestly
20 have II removed.
He asked as a dying request that he
be allowed 10 see the end, and II was
granted and the handkerchief was renov-
ed. The road cart was removed and with
one heavy thud all that was mortal

No idle demonstration Of violence was
visible or offered. The crowd was per-

what they had done. and this being ac-
complished they quietly dispersed ana
