ELECTRoCUTED.
CzoIqosz, the Murderer of the Presi.
dent, Pays the Penalty.

dent, Pays the PenalN.
The murderer of President Nc
Kinley has paid the extreme penalty
demanded By the law for his awful
crime. At 7:l2 o'clock on the morn
ing of October 10Th, in Albany, N
Y, the soul of the murderer pass
ed from time 70 eternity. He was
shocked to death by LOO volts Of
electricity. He went to the chair in
exactly the same manner in which
have a majority cf the murderers in
the State. showing no particular
sign of fear, but in fact doing what
few of them have done-talking to
the witnesses while he was being
strapped to the chair.
Just before the straps were ad-
iusted, he said: "I killed the Presi-
dent because he was an enemy to
the good people-of the working peo-
ple." His voice trembled slightly at
first, but gained strength with each
word, and as he spoke it was perfect
English.
II am not sorry for my crime" he
said loudly, just as the guard pushed
his head back on the rubber head
rest, and drew the straps across his
forehead and chin. As the pressure
on the straps frightened and bound
the jaw slightly, he mumbled:
Il am awfully sorry I could not
see my father"
The rush of the current threw the
body SO hard against the straps that
they creaked perceptibly. The
hands clinched suddenly and the
whole attitude was one OF extreme
tenseness. For As seconds the full
current was kept on and then slowly
the electrician threw the switch back,
reducing the current volt by volt
until it was cut off entirely. Then
just as it had reached that point he
threw the lever back again for two
or three seconds. The body, which
had collapsed as the current was
reduced, stiffened up again against
the straps. When it was turned OH
again. DR.. Mcdonald stepped up to
the chair and put his hand over the
heart. He said he felt no pulsatlon
but suggested that the current be
turned on for few seconds again.
Once more the body became rigid.

Delightful weather for gathering.
Big preparations are being made
for large acreage in small grain.
Cotton is coming in and our mer-
chants begin TO grin.
Crops are fast being housed and
while the yield of corn is not so
good, the deficiency is made up by
the pea crop. Rice is very good.
Sorghum very good and potatoes
splendid.
We are glad to chronicle the lat
est from Mrs. J. Perry Goodwin
who has been critically i'll for some
time, that she is convalescent.
Cupid hes not been idle during
the lovely Autumal days and nights
too, far that, but has put in some
telling work. Billy predicted some
time ago, Judging from the budding
of the oranges which have since
bloomed in full, so Mr.. Simon Hook
lead to the nuptial altar Miss Lille
Duncan, whose hearts now beat as
one. A few nights ago the stiffness
of night was broken by an out burst
and conglomeration and confusions
of sounds indescribable as they
broke forth from the serenaders band.
This was in token of the honor
and esteem held by the boys for the
venerable and patriotic fellow citizen
MIR. J. Albert Hook, who forsook all
others--matrimonially speaking
and took unto himself that better
half, Mrs. Carrie Hooker. And last,
but not least, one of Gaston's fairest
bellies and truest daughters has been
won by one of Orangeburg's hand

Billy feels safe in saying this lower

Soon the Treasurer will be around
collecting Uncle Sam's and other
dues and while some may feel little
cast down thinking their taxes too
high. we hope they will not forget
the Editor, but make his cheeks
glow, his eyes sparkle, his smiles
broaden and, oh my, just make his
purse swell and extend and puff out
almost to the breaking point"
"Klondike" has left the eternal
blissful shores of sacred singleness

waters in an unknown matrimonial
boat feeling that it was not good for
