Pulling from bis pockets q document,
which Smith no doubt thought was the
order demanding that bis life be for-
feited to the ttlt', the superintendent
asked him regarding the crime, opening
up 8 way whereby be could make coz
fsssIon. The official was disappoiLtad,
as Smith added nothing to his former

The reptieve was handed SuPerinIer-
dent Wood Thursday night With lnstruc'
tlous from the governor tba. the con-
vIetsd man sh, uld MT be told oil 1t until

only one Of the eulrds knew OF 1t, and
there wss DO possibility Of the negro
knowing Of the governors action uatll
the paper was read 10 him.
When the officers came to the cell,

lad any thing to say. He replied t1st
he was innocent OF the crime, and did
not even know the man. He also ex'
pressed the hope that Richard Pines,

A Country Of Marksmen.

The younger generation OF Ameri-
cans cannot keep pace with the one
now passing away in respect to general
familiarity with firearms Pistols may
be as common as they were so years
ago Certainly there are more in use
than there ought to be- But shotguns
and rifles. especially shotguns, were
once found in nearly every farmhouse
and in such homes the great major
itv of Americans were then born and
raised" A generation of city bred
boys cannot be expected to know guns
in the old way. and now there is so
little use of shotguns on farms that
they are by no means as common as
they used to be even in the open
country.
Yet we are still a nation of marks
men, in an altogether unusual degree.
The number of Americans who can
shoot well is immense, taking the
country as a whole. It is an accom-
