KINsAUL,s RESPITE AGAIN.
His Execution Now Set For September the
28th, 1900.

The execution OF Archie Kinsauls has
been for the fourth time postponed
Almost every day since it was postpon-
cd last Friday letters have came to the
executive office asking that the sentence
be committed. The attending physician said
the condemned mans throat is very
sore and that it would be best to allow
it to heal before the execution. Minister'S
Of the gospel have came and plead, in the
name of humanity, that the execution be
postponed, representing that his condi-
ton is weak. and that he will be unable
to go to the gallows unassisted Many
others have asked that the sentence be
committed to life imprisonment The petit
ton said nj part:
1--WE are law -abiding citizens and always
prefer for the law to take it's course, but
events of the last few days make us feel
that it is our duty as citizens in a civil
lied land to ask you to commute this SEN
tence to life Imprisonment
1t is signed by two of the jurymen who
convicted the prisoner, and by many of
the most prominent citizens of the coun
ty, ministers, lawyers, physicians and
banker.
1t was in response to such kilograms,
petitions and messages as these that the
execution was delayed. 1t is now placed
for September IS. 1900.
Kinsauls IS no less a remarkable man
than is his case which has attracted wide
spread attention. Last Friday after
slashing both sides of his throat, one hour
before the time appointed for him to die,
with the hope of cheating the hangsman,
he refused to allow the physicians to dress
his wounds until he had been assured
that the governor had reprieved him.
He does not interest himself even now,
a great deal in religious affairs though he
was once a follower of Crumpler, the pro-
phet of the Sanctifcationists. He is an
ardent Democrat and says he will not be
hung by Populist or Republican. 1t is
said no Democrats are allowed to visit
him in his cell. A close watch is kept on
him to prevent another attempt at sui
eide. The whole State is watching the
man in his wrestle with death

DRAYT0N MEDLIN REsPITED.
1t is Probable That His Sentence Will be
COMMITTED.

Ex-senator Frank /. Osborne. of Char
lotte spent several days here this week,
for the purpose of inducing Governor Rus
sell to commute the sentence of Drayton
Medlin, who was convicted of murder
more than a year ago. The crime was
committed in Castor county. He killed
a man by the name of Brown, who was
superintendent of a cotton mill.
The Governor yesterday reprieved the
condemned man until October 10. The re-
prieve was granted for the purpose of
making a fuller investigation into the af-
fair, with view to committing the SEN
tence. But it is not thought likely that
the Governor will finally interfere, as the
evidence showed that there was a quarrel
between the men about wages, and that
Medlin followed the man he killed and
brought on the fuss again.
There is to be an execution today at
Tarboro. and the victim of the gallows
will be Chauncey Davis, a negro. 1t is
not a common crime. or rather the death
penalty is but infrequent for it. 1t is diff
ficult to convict of arson. Davis crime
was the cause Of a death. and heroic
death too-that of a young man who went
back into the burning house and rescued
a lady, but was so badly burned that he
soon died

ALMOST ELEVEN CENTS NOW.
Cotton Keeps Going Upward by Leaps an
Bounds.

Cotton kept on climbing up yesterday
and sold readily here for 1875, 1917 and
1913, according to grade.
The spot markets in all the other cities
in the cotton belt were advanced. and
this, after al is believed to be the key
note of the situation, namely the strength
of spot markets founded as it is upon the
undoubted scarcity of cotton.
Another element of strength in tho
market is the increased price of yarns
and cloths.
Further reports show that the North
Carolina cotton crop is shorter than has
generally been believed. An experienced
cotton man SAYS that never in his memo
ry has he known such a large shortage in
any previous cotton crop not even except
ing the short crop of 1881. The dry wealth
er and heat are having the effect not only
OF causing the cotton bolls to premature
ly open but the stems in many instances
present a shrivelled and twisted appear
ance.
The cotton seed yield is also badly out
of proportion to the usual figures, the
seed this year making up a far greater
part of the total weight than is generally
the case. bale weighing about 587
pounds of cotton, also yielded, the owner
says, about 1900 pounds of cotton seed,
the proportion of the white staple being
less than one third of the weight of the
seed Welded.

STORY OLE A SLAVE

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams,
Of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been SO helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work" This su-
preme remedy for female diseases quick
ly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, mel
ancholy, headache, backache, fainting and
dizzy spells. This miracle working medi-
cine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaranteed.
Only SOC. Sold by all druggists.
