ESSIE JOHNSON WILL SWING
Counsel for Doomed Negro Decides
Nothing Can Be Done to Stay
Sentence of Death.

The sentence of death imposed by
Judge Reagan on Essie Johnson for
the murder of the old negress,
Eliza Banks, will in all probability be
executed at the appointed time.
A motion for new trial for John
son was to have been heard before
Judge Reagan on Friday at McDon-
ough, but Judge Raines, who was the
appointed attorney of the negro, de-
clded after full investigation of the
case it would be useless to argue the
motion, as there appeared to be no
legal grounds on which he could
work.
johnson was sentenced to hang on
J January II, and 1T seems certain that
he will pay the penalty on that day
for crime which a strong case of
evidence fixed upon
him. AS is we'll remembered, Johnson
killed the old woman while he was
her hen house, and the deed
was an exceedingly brutal one.

and in years to come we may put an
end to them most effectively.
1t costs very little to put out few
shade trees and tend them until they
are able to look out for themselves.
The cost is more than met ten times
over every year by the good they will
do.
In addition to the shade trees the
people of town should transplant,
the people of the country should beau
tify their homes by planting shade
trees. The commissioners ought also
to have planted on each side of every
public road in the country a row of
trees. If they would do this in four
or five years our country would have
some of the most beautiful drives in
the south, and in years to come our
roads would rival the beautiful roads
of England, which challenge the ad-
miration of the world.
