ROSE PAYS TIE PENALTY.
Hanged at Wilson For the Murder of Thomas
Farmer

Wilson, n. c.. Feb. 26.-The law has
been satisfied. John Henry Rose paid
his debt with his life upon the scaffOld
here his morning.
Rose spent the time up to the cxecu-
ton in prayer with his spiritual ad-
wiser, Rev. A. p. Tyer, of the Methodist
church. He expressed through him his
message to the world, which was to the
effect that he had made his peace with
God and bore no i'll will for those with
whom he had been associated in crime
There was no confession on the scaffold,
as this had been given out in his appeal
to the Governor.
At 1915 Deputy Jesse Mayo came from
the jail. followed by Rose and Rev. Mr..
Tyer. On the scaffold they We're joined
by Sheriff Sharpe. Deputy Warren. of
Nash county, and Deputy William Mills,
Of Wilson.
After all were on the scaffold Rev.
Mr.. Tyer offered prayer. The prayer be
ing over those with the prisoner badc him
a last farewell. The death cap and
ropes were then adjusted by Deputy
Wells. The drop fell at 1921 and in ten
minutes he was pronounced dead by Drs.
w. S. Anderson and Croker. At 1912
the body was cut down and after being
placed in q coffin was turned over 10 MS
relatives and taken to Kenly for burial.
The entire proceedings were carried
out without A hitch. There had been
| some talk that there would be trouble
| and in order to preserve order the VII
son military company was ordered out
under m OF Lieut.. t. s. Pace.
JOHN ROSES CRIME.
The crime for which Rose died was
committed last August near Lucama. He
shot from ambush Tom Farmer, a re
spectacle citizen of that section, while
he was returning homo. Everything was
done for Rose as far as legal practice
| goes. And as a last resort an appeal was
made TO the Governor for executive
clemcncy but without effect.
This is the second hanging in tn" his
tory of Wilson county. Over thirty years
| ago a negro was hanged here for the muir
der Of his master.
There has been no undue excitement
in Wilson today. the crowd, which was
small, was very orderly.

MISS STONES STORY
She Arrives at Constantlnople and an account
Of Her Captivity is Given.
NV the Associated Press.

Constantinople. March 1.-Miss Ellen
NJ Stone. the American missionary, until
held captive by brigands, ar
rived here today. from Salonica, and pro-
ceedcd to the United States Legation.
The following account Of the captivity
of Miss Stone has been obtained by the
Associated Press from reliable sources.
After the capture of the missionaries
near Banksko, September Bird last, the
brigands FASTENED across the boundary
and established themselves on the noun
tain of GuclteDe in the Ellerede district
where the whole population were IN
sympathy with the enterprise, this tact
enabling the band to live comfortably and
safely and to keep in touch with the out
side world.
When c. NJ. Dickinson, L. :. Consul
General at Constantinop1e. arrived in
Sofia early in October last and disclosed
to the authorities the bouts of
Miss Stones captors the result was near
" disastrous to the prisoners. The Bull
garian government ill-advisedly pushed
troops to the vicinity Of Guellepc,
forcing the brigands to break off nego-
tistions and the band changed its quar-
tcrs TO Kilo. Every change Of camp &C
CURED at night. The mountain roads
were frequently almost impossible, being
often deep in snow.
The brigands treated their captives as
kindly as circumstances permitted but the
food supply was necessarily precarlous.
Not till November End did the Ameri-
can emissaries come into touch with the
band.

in South Ardmore, and found every
thing running in full blast, and every
body enjoying themselves.
We were taken in charge by Rev.
Martin, pastor in charge, and shown
the different booths, the delicate han
diwork of some OF the colored broth
ers' wives and daughters, and. for
neatness, uniqueness and beauty il
was hard to beat. Beautiful quilts,
pillow shams, handkerchiefs and
many things of such nature were
shown us.
The refreshments were quite a
feature of the entertainment, for any
one who could not relish a piece of
Rev. Martins barbecued chicken don Z
know what is good.
The crowd was orderly. and the
pastor said that he was meeting with
good success, and that the proceeds
would go a long way toward lifting a
heavy debt hanging over them.
