THE CAROLINA GOVERNORS.

The following clever little Jingle was
printed some time ago In an obscure
weekly paper published among the noun
tains Of Tennessee. 1t must be awful
dry down South Just now.
The governor OF North Calling pulled a
weary smile.
Remarkins: Things Is gettin' kinder
tame:''
Then the governor of South Calling mus
little while.
And lowed as how he thought about the
same.
The governor of North Calling mopped
his fevered head.
Averred, Its awful sultry here In May"
Then the governor OF South Calling look
ed at him and said:
I'VE ought 70 have a little rain today"
The governor of North Calling heaved a
mighty sigh,
Then let his gaze roam DER the parching
plain
The governor of South Ca'lany killed a
luckless rs.
Then spat upon his hand and rubbed the
stain.
The governor Of North Calling slowly
rubbed his chin,
And, gaining courage said, IT'S awful
dry"
But the governor OF South Ca'Nny grin
ned a cheeress grin.
And gazed in hopeless silence at the
sky.
The governor OF North Ca'liny felt the
hidden sting.
And screwing up his courage. bravely
said.
DO you remember, governor, that joke
| used to spring."
But there ..e stopped and. blushing hung
his head
The governor of South Ca'liny scratched
the hairless spot
Upon his head, as one who deeply thinks.
And, thirty minutes later said: Twas
something, was it not.
About the length Of time between the
drinks
And then another silence fell upon the
burning sands.
And there they sat In anguish, sad and
sore.
Until at last they rose and clasped their
weary. trembling hands.
And sadly sighed together, "Nevermore. I"
With weary hearts they strolled away TO
where tho shades were cool,
And North and South Ca'lny. sad, but
brave.
Knelt down and quenched their burning
thirst with water from a pool
And old Zeb Vance turned over In his
grave.

YOUNG LADY BEHEADED.
Had Been Convicted of the Murder of
Her Fiance.

F'reiberg. Saxon. July 22-Grete Beier,
the IS year old daughter of the mayor
of Freiberg, was beheaded last night
sometime between dark and dawn in
punishment for the murder Of man to
whom she was engaged to be married.
The young girls carefully planned muir
der of his flance attracted international
attention The social position of the fam
lily was very good and she became en-
gagged to PreTler, rich young profess
sional man. At her trial II was brought
out and she admitted with the utmost
simplicity that she visited her Aance's
house one evening gave him cyanide OF
potassium In n drink she mixed for him,
then to make sure OF death shot him in
the mouth with his own revolver. She
then placed n forged will in her own
favor on his desk together with note
of good bye also forged saying he feared
10 lose Der love through the revelation
OF dishonorable leason. The girl fell
under suspicion an about a month after
the crime she wrote n love letter to an
unworthy man limiting what she had
done.
The executioner Of this young wo-
man reached the city last night. He
carried a thin. long box containing
the axe with which he did his work
and brought with him also handbag
with n suit OF evening clothes. The
wearing Of this garb Is an official
requirement of the sombre occasion.
The preparations for the execution at
the prison had been completed and
the man did his work quickly and
privately and departed from Freiberg
as quietly as he came. The exccu-
toner is an anonymous person, who
was sent down here from Dresden on
the announcement that the King Of
Saxony had refused to pardon Crete
Beier for her crime.
