"A DESPERATE HANGED.
He Murdered Young Man In tho
Presence of His Aflianccd Bride,
Who Died from tho Shock


Presence of His AtIianccd Bride,
Who Died from tho Shock.
Robert Sims, colorod, was hanged on
the l7th inst. at J0nesbor0, Tenn, for
the murder of Walter Galloway. The
execution was private.
For II slight grudge, growing out Of
an imaginery injury, Robert a las
"Isham" Sims, shot down Walter
had been kind to him and had just
offered him q few cents to look alter
his horse. The decd was done on July
last, in tho presence of Miss Ellie
Boring, the young lady to whom
Galloway was engaged to be married,
and within a few yards Of the farm
house OF w. ID. Boring, in Washington
county. Galloway had ridden to the
house to call on Miss Eflie Boring.
Sims was employed us u laborcr on
the place, and Galloway told him that
IL he would take his horse to the barn
and feed him he would pay hlm five
cents.
The negro refused and angry words
passed. a few minutes later Galloway
took his horse to the barn and gave it
the needed attention. While ho was
doing this Sims br0oded over a grudgc
ho bad against Galloway and deter
mined to kill him. He seized gun
and loaded it, Miss Boring being an
eyewitness to his movements. Fear
ing he intended harm, she ran toward
the barn and on the way met her lover,
Galloway. No sooner than she warned
her lover OF his danger than Sims ap-
peared and in an instant fired. The
shot was fatal. Galloway fell into the
young lady's arms, pierced by almost
dozen lcaden missiles. Sims was
followed for many days and nights
through the hills Of washington
Hawkins, Greene and Sullivan coun-
ties. His cnptOrs, who found him near
Rodgcrsvilln, thought ii policy To take
him to the jail there, but an infuriated
mob was seeking him, and 10 order to
escape these he was taken by u circui-
tous route to Knoxville.
SO great WAS tho excitement pro-
duccd by the death of Galloway that
Miss Boring was nervously prostrnted
Continued worry led to, a fatal illness,
and after several days OF intense suf-
fering she died.
At tho August term Of tho court in
JoncsborO, Sims was found guilty of
murder and sentenced by Judge II. +.
Campbell to hang September II. An
appeal to the supreme court was taken,
but that body confirmed the sentence
and fixed IL second datc for Sims to
hang, November II, at Jonesboro,
Tenn.

federates were wont to do by bouncing
them high into the air and catching
them in the pan as they can down upon
the other" side.
But all OF this is aside from the main
question:, which is: Why Is it that
corn bread is not as much In vogue as
formerly In the South and Southwest ?
Doubtless tho modern cook and the
cooking stovo have much to do With its
enforced absence from our boards, but
there must be other reasons, II so,
what are they? Have our appotites
failed us, or is cornmeal not so good as.
aud flour better than, formerly, or is It
that We have been Yankeeized in this
respect rs in somo others?
Wo ask the attention of tho Wash
ington administration to these qucs-
tions, hoping that it will not only
be able to secure the general use
OF our cornmeal abroad, but that 1T
will be able to revive the uso Of it
upon moro extensive scale by our own
people.

SPECIAL CONSrABLES.
AN agreement Between tho Cover
nor and State Board or Control,


nor and State Board or Control.
The Columbia Register says that
Mr.. Il. }. Williams, who was appointed
by the State board of control to in.
tcrvicw the Governor with regard to
the re- establishment Of the dispcnsary
cOnStabulary, has performed that duty.
1t WAS determined between the Gov
eruor and the board that the disDeD-
sary law must be enforced SO long as
it exists on the statute books. The
two are also in accord in the opinion
that some more c0nstablcs will have to
be appointed, but there will be no
great flourish made about it, and the y
will not go around with badges, and
armed ready to shoot down any man.
In other words, their duties will be
purely on the detective order. They
will be expected to get up the evidence
against violat0rs of the law and report
to the proper civil authority, when q
warrant will be sworn out and arrests
made. According to this plan, there
will be a secret service, but the con!
stables, are not to have the power to
search and arrest at will as thcv had
when the law was originally put In
operation. They are to be detectives,
plre and simple.
~ is uuucISGOOtl GllhG GIlO governor
will appoint these extras in , those
towns and places where the local au-
thOritics arc proven not to be faith
fully carrying out the law. Their
salaries are to be paid out OF tho profits
which might be coming to the city or
town, and it seems to be tho dctermi
nation Of the authorities to spend all of
this profit, If necessary, to enforce the
law.
Investigation will likely be made as
to the enforcement Of tho laa in towns
and cities before these detective are
appointed, and it may be that the au-
thorities will be warned bpfore action
~ taken, so as to give them an oppor-
tunity of saving their profits, which is
always most acceptable to most NUM-
cipal treasures.
|; The appointment Of these cons ables
docs not mean q general revival Of the
cOnstabulary system as was at first
supposed. Only in special cases are
they to be employed, and their duties
will resemble those Of tho forraer con.
stables only remotely.
The authorities now fully realize
that tho old system cannot last an(
that 1t INJURIES the dispensary systom
more than anything else. The killinl
Of Turner In Spartanburg, in the opin
ion CT member OF the board of control
has hurt the dispensary more than al
the, original package establishment

has 90 broadened her polity that am
Young man who wished to become q
munster, whatever his denomination,
had free access to her halls and to ali
that she had to give.
In view OF these facts, certain
members OF the faculty, the alumni
who own the now famous 'inn,' and the
friends Of Princeton who are teetotalers
themselves, are somewhat surprised,
to say the least at the attitude of the
p"esbyteries that have openly and
harshly criticised the university for
maintaining what the clergy call a
grog- shop in classic Princeton.
President Patton and others have not
come out fatty or the subject, but it is
known that the feeling in this respect
ls running high, and there are rumors
that If the church continues to attack
the university as 1t has been doing for
the last two weeks, the free list will
be suspended, and clergymen's sons
and prospective clergymen will be
forced to seek out some other university
for their education, or pay up"
Ex-President Cleveland has been
severely criticised for the part he took
In signing the petition for license. and
he has sent tho following characteristic
telegram to the Chicago Times-Herald
in reference to the matter:
II don't care If all the synods and
presbyteries in the country were to
offer an adverse decision, it would be
no good reason why should alter my
opinion. l am very sorry that DR..
Shields has been bothered over this
matter, as he is an old and very dear
friend of mine. Otherwise, the action
Of the presbytery does not affect me in
the least. When l signed the petition
for the liquor license of the Princeton
inn, ] in no sense committed wrong,
and If the same proposition came up
for my consideration again l would do
the same thing"

THE BALING or COTTON,

An Experienced Manufacturer Takes
Ground Against the Use or the
Round Bale
The cylindrical or round bale OF cot
ton Is attracting much attention, and
We append herewith from the Manu-
facturcrs' Record letter from Col.
Jas. l.. Orr, Of the Piedmont mills,
who opposes tho use OF round bales for
reasons given by him. His position
has been criticised by cotton experts,
who contend that he Is in error. Col
Orr's letter will prove interesting to
farmers
In this issue wo publish letter from
Mr.. James l.. Orr, president Of the
Piedmont Cotton Manufacturing Co.,
one OF tho foremost cotton mill men OF
South Carolina, in which he takes very
decided ground against tho round
bale. The Manufacturers Record re.
CARDS his position as untenable and
thinks that he has presented an en-
tircly erroneous statement OF the case.
But when man Of Mr.. Orr's position
In the cotton manufacturing world ud-
vances an argument against anything
bearing on cotton it demands the most
careful Investigation, and with this in
view the Manufacturers Record, In
order that both sides Of the case might
bo stated, submitted d copy of Mr..
Orr's letter to Col. Alfred 3. ShepDer-
son, the well-knOWn cotton statistician
ot New York, who is recognized
throughout the cotton world as q care
lul, conservative authority, alwavs
friendly to tho Southern planter, .and
TO Edward Atkinson, the distinguished
publicist Of Boston, and asked thom to
present reply TO the points made by
Mr.. Orr. The letters are published in
connection, in order that both sides of
the case may be fully stated Mr.. Orr
writes as follows ...

Cancer
Can be Cured.

It is very often that the most insig-
nncant symptoms are forerunners of
Tie most violent disease. There is
lot a more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases it
is first Indicated by a very small pin-
pie or sore, to which no attention is
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura e. Minis has resided at
Smithville, Georgia, for years, andis
we'll known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of a wonderful case.
She says: "A small pi1nple OF Il
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; it soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts to check it, until it was
the size of partridge egg. My eye
became terribly inflamed, and was so
swollen, that for quite while 1 could
not see. The doctors said 1 had Cam

that was favorable, however, as the
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores of the skin.
Before long the Cancer began to
discharge and continued to do so for
three months; then it began to heal.
I continued the medicine a while
longer, until the Cancer disap-
peared entirely, and I enjoyed better
health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been sign of a return of the

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates a diseased con.
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it Is positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate
or pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.
