THAT POOR OLD WOMAN.

THE pathetic and pitiable condition
OF MARY ABERNArHY continues TO at
tract attention. She is sentenced TO die
July 8, 1895, and unless something is
done she will be execut, d
at Farmville, Va.
1t was one year ago last Sunday
since MRS. LUCY JANE POLLARD was
murdered. Ever since that time these
innocent women have been sufferers.
That MARY ABERNATHY is innocent, no
one acquainted with the facts will at
tempt to deny. She was on the most
friendly terms with the murdered
lady. No one has been able to recall
the time when there was any dis
agreement. So true was this that Mr..
POLLARD left her with his wife on that
fsteful Friday afternoon. She left her
alone and when the alarm was given,
she fastened to the house. She
shrouded Mrs. POLLARD. Then why
this wanton persecution of poor Aunt
MARY7
Two days before she was to be exc
cuted last year, H. C. GREeoRY came
to her with promise of life, if she
would tell him the whereabouts of the
POLLARD money. Her reply was, tha'
il he would place in front of her regi-
ment of soldiers to take her life she
could not tell where the money was OF
who killed Miss Lucy.
Gould stronger evidence other limo
cence be produced7 What other an
swer could they expect7 Was it no.
then, is it not now apparent that thu
authorities and people of Lunenburl
county made fearful mistaken
But greater and stronger than this il
the declaration of SOLOMON MARABLl
that he was at the killing of Mrs. Pol
LARD and assisted in it, but MARY Alb
ERNArHY was in no wise connected witt
the horrible butchery.
Again we ask it, what more do tn
doubling Thomases" desireP is
possible that human life ia of no conse
ouence and human evidence not con
ST Tered. Upon what grounds do the
propose to strangle the life out of tn
sobbing, faltering, praying old woman
Are they TO leave her children moth
erless, broken hearted husband wife
less? Are they so thirsty for bloc
that they must need battle their hand
in the blood of this poor woman, cor
fessedly innocent. God forbid.
1t cannot always be thus. 1t canno
!, be that we must forever plead. tn
cause of those whose cases are as plai
upon its face as this. God cannot pei
> init these grievous examples of inius
tice MARY ABERNATHY has alread
= suffered the agonies of the appreher
g sion of All approaching death.
1t is cruel, it is barbarous, it is
violation of all the principles OF rigf
and justice that she should be require
I, to again undergo the same misery.
The strain upon US has been of ii
most excruciating character. 1t II
quired nerve to stand it. That upo
her must have required the fortitud
which comes with conscious innocenc
reinforced by the help vouchsafed I
God to those who put their trust
Him.

A BIG COTTON CROP.

Washington, Oct 5. Vice Consul Gen
eral Washington writes to the Depart
ment Of State from Cairo on the prospect
of the cotton crop of Egypt and says that
the present seasons crop promises to sur
pass all previous years in quality. Ac-
cording to statistics compiled by the
finance department., there are under Guilt
Walton this year about 1,O50,0 600 acres as
compared with little over 1000, 600 acres
last year. Last years crop amounted to
about $50, 10000 pounds, so that on the
basis of area alone a crop of 100000, 900
pounds is probable this year. So far the
weather has been favorable and the plants
have borne an abundant crop Up to the
present time there has been no appearance

ORDERED DISCONTINUED.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The Secretary of
the Treasury has ordered the discontinue
ance of the Chester Shoal, Bethel Creek
and Orange Grove houses of refuge on the
eastern coast of Florida. These houses
were built many years ago when there
were only three or four human habita-
tions accessible for over $50 miles of
beach. Within the same territory now,
however, there are about 10000 people
and hence these houses are regarded as no
longer necessary to commerce or for the
interests of huma. lily. These houses
never were intended as regular life saving
stations but only to afford relief to per-
sons cast ashore and liable to perish of
hunger and thirst.
