ROBERT SIMS.
The Last Scene,
Simms was led onto the scaffold at
II 200 o'clock, and the drop fell at II 700,
and his swaying body dangled in the air
l-2 feet below where he last stood in
life. Life was pronounced extinct in 10
minutes. Thus was the law avenged on
the slayer of Walter Galloway, and in
directly, of Miss Boring.
His Last Words.
On the stand he said to the crowd /.
'lse going to Heaven, gentlemen; il
you come there you'll see me-"
At lO:4O he sang with the half dozen
ministers present, without tremor, the
hymn: "IIe's the brightest of 10000 to
my soul.
In answer to a query he said he made
no threats to anyone against Galloway.
He sang, "By faith l see my Savior
dying on the tree" after which he said
"God bless you ALL" and shook hands
with those present.
He stepped on the trap door with q
smile on his face, and in response to the
Sherriff's inquiry if he was ready, said
"Ies, all is ready"
The rope was cut and Simm's neck wa:
broken by the fall.
His body was removed from the en-
closure and prepared for shipment to hi
friends in Bluff City.

To Cure Catarrh

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants
or other local applications. Catarrh is
constitutional disease, and can be
successfully treated only by means of
a constitutional remedy like Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which throughly purifies
the blood and removes the scrofulous
taints which cause catarrh. The great
number of testimonials from those
who have been cured of catarrh by
Hoods Sarsaparilla prove unequaled
power Of this medicine to conquer this
disease. II troubled with Cstarrh give
Hoods Sarsaparilla a fair trial at once.

The Day.

The weather, clear, bright and with
invigorating air, was not in sympathy
with the sadness and solemnity Of the
occasion. 1t was an ideal day for joy
Gus public fete or the celebration Of
some happy historical event. Nature
wore a smiling face as if nothing out Of
the ordinary was to occur.
Smms in Jail.
After Simms was brought back and
placed in Jail yesterday evening he was
visited by number of parties. When
the writer called to him in the corridor
he appeared at once at the door Of the
iron cage in WHICH he was confined,
with no sign of fear upon his face. He
talked calmly and deliberately. In ref
ence to the terrible act for which he was
executed today, he said he was sorry
that he did it, but he thought he acted
in self defense, that he believed Gallo.
way intended to kill him, and he did
what he did in order to save himself
He assured those who had called to see
him that he had prepared himself for
the scene of the morrow; that he had
prayed long and earnestly for the par.
don Of his sins and that he felt assured
that his prayers had been answered and
he was ready to die. He assured the
writer that he had no fears when he con.
templated the event of the morrow and
that he knew "the Lord would bring
him through"
He spoke very highly of the treatmen
he had received while in the Knoxville
Jail, and said everybody had been goot
to him. He also said that he felt wei
satisfied with the defense Capt. Dead
erick made of him, and considered hin
a gentleman.
Sheriff Pritchett took Simms to tn,
Court House before daylight this morn
ing, where he was kept until the hou
of execution,and thus avoided the GROVE
and possible trouble.

The List of Men Killed

in Washington County would be long
one, II complete one could be furnished.
Some of the slayers were never brought
to justice, others were acquitted, and the
rest, except in the cases cited, served in
the penitentiary. There have been some
murders where the perpetrators escaped
detection entirely, as was notably that
Of strange boy from Wilkes County,
North Carolina, about twenty years ago.
He was travelling afoot and struck Jones'
boro about dark. He was horribly beaten
up with clubs and stones that night and
the next morning was found lying in a
pool of blood in box ear, and unable to
speak. He fingered in great agony for a
few days, unable to utter word con-
cerning his destination, home, friends
or the tiendish treatment that cost him
his life. From that day to this, as far as
the writer knows, the profoundest mys-
terry enshrouds this diabolicai deed.
Beside, old Jonesboro and johnson
City have been scenes Of several blood
curdling tragedies. The country, also
