A Splendid Railroad OfficiaL Re
signs His Position.

Mr.. LIP. Roddey, agent here of
the l.. & G. railroad company, has
rendered his resignation to take
effect March 1st. As the public
well knows, Mr.. Roddey is a
model railroad official, highly
efficient, courteous and polite and
ever at his post of duty, and the
announcement of his resignation
therefore will be received with
universal regret. He has been
connected with the l.. & @. about
eleven years altogether, six years
at Lancaster and five at Fort
Lawn. 1t will be good news to
the general public, however, TO
know that Mr.. Roddey will still
retain the agency of the Southern
Express company, the duties of
which he has been discharging
along with his railroad work. 1t
was largely on account of the in.
creased work in both Offices that
Mr.. ROddey has been forced TO
give up one of his positions.

Sheriff Hunters Views on
the Proposition to have
Executions in the Peniten-
tiary.

Sheriff Hunter says, according
to his humble Judgment
amongst some of the mistakes
already made by the present
Legislature is the killing of
Capt. John w. Hamel's bill re
quirIng all executions of prison
ers sentenced to death 10 take
place in the State Penitentiary
He says he knows of ona
prisoner who escaped from
Chesterfield jail after sentence Of
death had been passed upon him
and that he has never been
caught. Also one from Cam
den ] Ill, aud Two from York
count, jail.
The L criminals are now AT
large, and no doubt roaming the
country somewhere as outlaws
Whereas, he says, if such a
law as that Cap'. Hamel has re
Gently endeavorcd t. have pass.
ed had been in force, when these
men were sentenced, they would
have been conveyed to the peni-
'entlary, where they would
have been securely kept; and no
doubt long since have paid the
penalty of their crime.
Sheriff Hunter says if we had
such a law a more humane wav
han hanging could be adopted
to execute condemned criminal. {:
and that more OF them would be
executed than under the exist
ing law. They could be more
securely kept in the peniren
tiary; and Influential citizens
would not be so apt to sign peti.
tions to commute their sentences
from death to life Imprisonment.
after they are conveyed from
the jails to the penitentiary; as
their loud prayers and cries for
mercy could not be heard by
those whose hearts would soften.
and perhaps induce them to sign
petitions against their judg.
ment, and the best interest of
the country. He also says he
believes such a law would have
a good effect in that it would
have a tendency to deter many
who are inclined to commit
capital offences, as they would
consider that if found guilty,
their commutation would be
very doubtful, after they are
conveyed from ihe county iail,
and away from their relatives
and friends, and placed in the
penitentiary.
