FINE CHARM IS
 GIVEN TO HIGDON
Sheriff Deeply Touched By Gift Made By Deputies Serving
 Under Him.

As an emblem or token of their esteem Jefferson county presented Col. E. l.. Higdon with handsome watch charm last night. The presentation was made on the occasion of one of the regular as semblies of the deputies of the county at the call of Colonel Higdon for purposes of advice and instruction. The charm is a very fine piece of jewelry
 The piece is made of pure gold in the shape of the emblem of the English crown, and has a very fine diamond in the center. Around the diamond are the words, Sheriff of Jefferson County in dark blue enameled letters. On the back is the simple inscription, "Presented to E. l.. Higdon by His Deputies-1s07-19l1." !"
 The presentation speech was made by Judge J. H. Miller, who. by the way of introduction, spoke of the Thanksgiving season and the reasons for Thanksgiving. He also spoke briefly of the historyfof the office of sheriff, it's importance, and its absolute necessity. This was followed by a lofty tribute to Sheriff Higdon and his men.
 ''Jefferson county never had better sheriff than it has today" said Judge Miller, and there has never been bet ter force of deputies, one more willing to respond to it's duties on all occasions. Sheriff Hgdon won his office on his mer- its, and he and his men are refecting credit on the entire state by their honesty and firmness in the execution of their duty"
 The token was presented to Colonel H:g- don, and he responded briefly:
 "I have received many presents in my life," said Colonel Higdon, "but in ac- cepting this emblem of your confidence and esteem, I must say that you have touched my heart more deeply than any thing else. After Judge Miller's tribute 1t is due from me to say that l have made no mistake in the men l have selected as my assistants I challenge any county in the world for the loyalty and faithful ness of the men in it's service. You are making good administra- tion, and that is the object for which l am working. My object in view is to serve as sheriff and to leave a record that will be a model, administration as pure as this diamond surrounded by gold. From the bottom of my heart l appre- ciate this gift

DEATH WATCH IS
 SET ON THAXTON
Condemned Negro Will Be Closely Guarded Until December 27, the
 Day of Execution.

The death watch of Henry Thaxton, the negro who is charged with the murder of Samuel w. Hunstucker, on the night of December p, 1906, was begun last night and will be continued for the customary thirty days until December 27 two days after Christmas, when he is sentenced to hang
 The story of the murder, briefly, is that on Saturday night, December 9 last, Hunstucker, the murdered man, and d friend named Boyd, were walking down Avenue B, near the rolling mills, when Thaxton and two other negroes held them up. It seems that the gun which Thax- ton is said to have had was thrown so close to Hunstuckers face that he turned partially around to avoid it and as he did so Thaxton fired, the bullet taking effect in the region of the heart, causing instan- taneous death.
 The trial of Thaxton, which was held on November g. was an unusual one. The defendant went to trial shortly before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. By 5:30 o'clock all evidence had been taken, and by 6SO o'clock the arguments were closed. The judge charged the jury and the case was put in their hands. After being out about 15 minutes they returned their verdict, shortly before o'clock. Thus was the negro tried, convicted, and the death sen- tence passed upon him in a few minutes less than four hours. Thaxton did not take the stand during the trial.

But he won't be downed in a day, for tis a safe prophecy that it will require sundry and various hashes and stews before his bones can be scattered to the four winds.
