A Former York Man to Hang. A dispatch from Richmond, Va., to the Roanoke Times has the following to say about Geo. A. Peters, a native of York county, who has been sentenced to death in Carroll county, Virginia: "George A. Peters, of Carroll county, is to hang for the murder of Rev. Jasper Easter, a Dunkard preacher, who was killed in the County several months ago. This conclusion was reached by Governor Swanson this morning after going over the application for commutation. "The governor says he has not found a solitary thing upon which he could base any interference with the sentence of the jury which tried the prisoner. The papers have been in the hands of the governor for some time and he has examined into the : merits of the case with unusual care. "Peters, according to the records in the case, went to the home of the minister one night in May, after the minister had retired, called him to the door and shot him down in cold blood in the presence of the man's wife and children. There was absolutely no provocation for the crime, and the attempt of the defence to show that Peters was drunk at the time fell flat, the contrary being proven. Peters will be hanged on September 20." Ad Old Time Community. Down in York county, S.

It is now perhaps fifteen years ago that the hundredth anniversary of the building of the church was celebrated. At Eber.ezer there is also a big school at which many have been educated. The church has always had very fine fine preachers and the school has been well conducted. The first Sunday in September and the first Sunday in May there is always a communion service. More than six hundred people attend service on these two communion days. Only one communion service has been missed in a hundred years and that was not fully missed but was postponed on account of the sickness of the pastor. The Rev. J. H. Thornwell is now pastor of old Ebenezer. He and his congregation are in such delightful accord that if he needs money for any church, charity or other benificent work all he has to do is to say the word to his people assembled or put the word out quietly amongst them and tho Qiinn ie IVWV UUill IO i CilOV t (, Yesterday was communion day at the church.

Governor Ansel has issued circular letters to the various sheriffs of the State requesting the seizure of all the Crescent ale j that may be offered for sale. The sale of this ale is. prohibited by i the Carey-Cothran act as it has ] been found to contain three per i cent alcohol, the full strength of beer, which if taken in sufficient ' quantity will cause the drinker to ! feel real merry. j Several days ago Governor Ansel caused an analysis to be | made of several soft drinks, i Crescent Ale being one.

Some farmers have sold their crops already on future delivery, the price paid being in the neighborhood of 12 cents. In fact, most of the future delivery price was 12 cents, so we have been informed. ?The first two bales of cotton of this year's crop were sold here Wednesday afternoon by Messrs. J. A. Barber and J. C. Fudge. Mr. Barber's was the first one to be ginned, while Mr. Fudge, who farms on Mr. F. H. Barber's place, was close behind him. Both bales were bought by Mr. Ed.
