A TESTIMONIAL OF REGARD.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels Receives Hand
some Present From A. & M. Students.

At the conclusion of the regular exer-
cises of the Sunday school of Edenton
Street Methodist church, very pleasant
and wholly unexpected incident occurred.
A very large number of students in the
A. and M. College, about four score ir
number, attend the Sunday school of that
church. They are all in one class. of
which Mr.. Josephus Daniels, editor of the
News and Observer, is teacher. 1t Is a
very fine body of young men, enough to
inspire any teacher. AS token of appre-
citation of their teacher, this class, upon
the eve of going to their homes for the
Christmas holidays, presented to Mr.. Dan
iels a large and handsome cut glass ink
stard, with silver top, in tray of silver
The presentation speech was made by Mr..
H. NJ Lilly, popular student His
speech was brief and bright and full of
generous appreciation of Mr.. Daniels.
Among the benefits of their stay in Raj
eigh, he said that the students who be-
longed to the class of Mr.. Daniels regard
cd the Sunday teaching as among the best
influences.
MI Daniels, who had received no init
nation Of the gift, thanked the young
men in a few words expressive of his
grateful appreciation and said that the in
terest of the class would stimulate any
teacher that in busy life he always
kept before him the pleasure of meeting
with the class-it was help and slim
illus to him, and the chief blessing in his
life. Teaching the class he held as the
most important work in which he was en-
gagged

SAW DEATH AHEAD
Mr.. E. G. Cheatham Leaps
From the Train.
Saw Rail Across Track While on Plat
form and Fearing a Wreck Leaps
and His Skull Bone is Shat
tered.

Mr.. B. w. Ballard, of Franklinton,
who was in the city yesterday, tells of the
narrow escape from death of Mr.. E. G.
Cheatham, and of the injury he received.
Mr.. Cheatham is the railroad agent at
Franklinton He is a splendid fellow, son
of Mr.. 1. j. Cheatham, who was for thirty
years the agent at Franklinton
He was on the train going from Frank
linton to Louisburg. The train backs
when making this trip. After having
gone with the engine ahead on the run to
Franklinton, the engine pushing the cars
back from Franklinton.
AS the train was moving rapidly along,
Mr.. Cheatham, on the rear platform
which was in front, saw rail lying across
the track. With the train striking this he
feared a wreck and saw death ahead Of
him.
without waiting he leaped from the
train, and struck the ground on his feet,
being thrown down by the momentum
given his body by the train. He could
not rise, anu when he was reached it was
found that his leg was injured.
Physicians were secured, Drs. Harris
an dMalone, and on examination they
found that the bone in the anskle had
been splintered
When the engineer saw that passenger
from The train had jumped he quickly ap-
piled the air brakes and stopped the
train, thus averting a wreck. No clue has
been found to the party or parties who
placed the rail across the track.

HIS NECK SAVED
Henry Holloway Goes to
Prison for Life.
Convicted Because of His Voice, There
is Room for Doubt of His Guilt
and the Governor Commutes
His Sentence.

Henry Holloway, the negro who was
convicted of burglary in Greene county
is not to be hanged, nor at any time.
Yesterday his sentence was committed
to Imprisonment for life by Governor Ay-
cock. To urge that he not be hanged Mr..
Charles L. Alternately, of Beaufort, and
ex-Judge w. S. OBJ. Robinson, of Colds
boro, were here yesterday to present
the case to the Governor. who granted
executive clemency, this because among
other reasons he finds that there is too
much uncertainty in the case to take hu-
man life.
Holloway was tried at the September
term of the Greene county Superior court
for the crime of burglary IN the first de-
gree, was convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. His sentence was resDlted on
October 9th to December 18th, and again
on December 18th to December 23d To-
day the sentence was committed to I'M
prisonment in the States prison at hard
labor for life.
The following are the Governors rea-
SONS for the Communication:
1.-The sentence of death in this case is
committed to Imprisonment in the States
prison at hard labor for life. Since the
sentence of the prisoner, Hon. Fred Moore
the Judge who tried the case, has held
another term of court in Greene county,
and while there carefully investigated the
grounds for the application for commuta-
ton. He writes me under date of De-
cembcr 18th as follows:
1 respectfully recommend that the SEN
terce of death pronounced upon Henry
Holloway at the September term of the
Superior Court of Green county be COM
muted to Imprisonment in the States
prison at hard labor for the term of his
natural life. After full consideration of
this matter and after discussing it with
eight members of the fury who tried the
case and with many of the best citizens
of the county, it is my deliberate judg-
ment that the sentence should be con,
muted.''
Judge Moore further writes that white
he fully believes that the prisoner IS
guilty there is some room for doubt and
under all circumstances he does not be.
lieve the ends of justice demand the exc
cution OF the death sentence. The iden~
tity of the prisoner as the guilty person
was dependent entirely upon the recogn;-
ton of his voice great number of
Inc leading cltlZenS OIL TIE County JolH III
an urgent request for the Communication.
Six of the jury who tried the case have
Joined in a written request to me to COM
mute the SENTENCE ~.
There is in my opinion. after a care
full examination of the case, too much I'M
certainty to justify the taking of human
life.
CHARLES B. AYCOCK.
Governor.
