ODuS DAVIDSON PAID THE
 DEATH PENALTY MONDAY

To them l say that l would not die with perjury on my lips. If l were guilty of killing Ella Barham, could even then be saved through Christ.
 I have never been a criminal. never was convicted of anything only one small misdeameanor. was born and raised in this coun- ty. l appeal to all men who be lieve in Gods religion, if l should not have had few days stay of execution. But that is past. If a governor could go back on his word, l forgive him as do those who prosecuted me. do not blame the jury. They were surrounded by a mob who had already condemne me. dc not blame the mob. They were honest. Some one had com mitted an awful crime. The public demanded a victim was arrest ed. A great many rumors were cir GU lated and had the effect of mak- ing every one believe in my guilt. Two of these ruomrs were that my bloody clothes were found, and that witnesses would be found that l was in love with Miss Barham, and that she would no. go with me, and that l had threatened to kill her. Of course they were wholly untrue. and 10 effort was made tC establish them. There was not a single fact or circumstance that was relied on by the state that was not met by honest reasoning, and as a fact tended to show my guilt
 The prosecuting attorney, in op- ening the case, stated to the jury that my socks wou d be shown, and that they had human blood on them They were shown, but lad nc blood on them, and this was eonced- ed, even by the state. But was hurt by the ramor.
 With no i'll will toward any hu- man being, ask that charity that all may some time need, not sc m uoh for my own memory, but as an honest lesson l sincerely hope that the real guilty parties may som time be known God being my wit- ne I say to you. ny father and mother. thar l die innocent May God bless yod. Let me say that l have no blame fer my lawyers. They were true. and spent more than their fees in my defense. They could not h lp the r sulfs. believe no one could have aaoid d my fate ha3 thty be Il surrounded by the same conditions
 Good bye all l go to my God not in brayado. but fear'essly He knows my innocence If tie world does not

THIRTY DAYS RESPITE
Governor Grants Omer Davis That
Much More Time.

Omer Davis, who was to have be- T hanged at Fayetteville yesterday for the murder of Miss Nellie Mon eyhun, has been given respite of thirty days by Governor Hays. This means that the execution will take place on Sept em Der l 4 unless the Su- preme Court grants new trial or the sentence is commuted to life imprisonment
 Ii is underst ood that attorneys for Davis will ask for life sen- tence for Davis, and failing in this will attempt to get the Supreme Court to grant new trial

LOW AS S1.0O PER CRATE.
Peach Shipments.

Tota1, 149 cars
 In addition to the above II was expected that one car would be shipped out yesterday bringing the totaI car lot shipments to exactly H150. which was the number timated by The News last week. In addi- tion 10 the car lot shipments a large number of peaches have been shipp- ed out by express and the canning factory has used several cars, 90 the to al number of cars of peaches shipped and consumed here will easily run to 200. The canning fac tory is expected to run on peaches for probably ten days longer.
 Of the car lot shipments all were sold on the track here except 42 eals, those consisting principally of ship ments Thursday, Friday and Satur- day of last week, and they weIe con signed to the Ozark Fruit Growers Association at different points. TT e price this week has been the lowest during the season. The lowest price received for six basket crates was 100, and four baskets cents. Taking the season through It h thought the average price per crate will amount to about s1s25.
 The season just close q has lee Il he most profitable eyer exper enc ed by the growers in this vicinity, and all are well pleased with the re- sults
 The experience of growers here th.s : ason eonvinces them that there is much yet 10 he done be ore the ee-orer ati8e plan oi sell.fg is what il should be. Tn low prices realized this week was due to the fat taa. .shipmen.s wsfe 100 heavy to ee tan mark Is, a. result of which tBo.e maffets Weze oyerztoek k ed 4 lowering oi tbe pri nat urally followed If the shipments had been properly distributs the price throughout would have been maintained
 Mot of the peaches shipped from he.e went to eastern markets, New York. Philadelphia, etc, and it IS matter for eongratulation that a car shipped from Sp1ingdale topped the market in New York last Satur- day, and again on Tues day This SHOWS that D aches from the spflng- dale Fruit District are the equal of the best. and has est abished reputation for our growers that will be of much value in the future.
