AMcrdkuekCaitured.?Jim Jolra- | ston, the murderer of" Eli Free, was j captured on Monday afternoon by j Messrs. Henry Yarborough, Hazel Zealy and James Martin. He hod been biding himself among the negroes since the commission of the deed. He j had also been hiding below Columbia, i and had come back for the purpose of J arranging for his final departure. Information having reached these gentlemen that Johnston was locked in a negro house near Strother, they quietly surrounded it and waited until the owner came from the field.

On demand, he came down, but made an attempt to reach the door; Mr. Zealv ? ^ ^ KnnKn/y A?f <j rvlnnr ; uUliillCU mill illlU. uaiuuig uia IV yiv,T , line proceeded to tie him.

On assurance that he would I not be hung by anybody, except prob-j ' lbly by the Sheriff, he ceased his j : lamentations and quietly prepared to i :ome to jail. He is now in jail awaitlug his trial at the approaching terrr ; of Court. The murder of Mr. Free is j familiar to all our readers, and it is j well that his slaver has been caught.

Blackstock: vs. "Wixnsboro.?A telegram was ; received on Wednesday evening by the Athletic Base Ball Club of this place, from the Cleveland Club of Blackstock, challenging them for a game 011 Thursday evening. The ! challenge was readily accepted and all things put in readiness for the game. Some time before the game commenced a large crowd of citizens had gathered 011 the college green to witness the contest. Promptly at the appointed hour the umpire, Mr. W. L. McDonald, called the #vme with the Athletics in the lield. The Clevelands only secured one run on the inning, and the Athletics took the hat and chalked up five to their credit. The second inning the Blackstock men made three runs and retired, while the Athletics went out in one, two, three order. | From this time out it was "nip and tack", and at the close of the ninth ! inning the score stood even, which necessitated the playing of a tenth inning. The Clevelands made one run and tke Athletics two, making the score stand '28 to 27 in favor of the Athletics. The game was very much enjoyed by all present, and the players of both clubs &eemed to realized that they had met their match. The following young men composed the two runes: CLEVELANDS. It. J.

The chairman stated that the first business would be the election of permanent officers. Mr. W. S. Durham nominated Ma. T. S. Brice for president. Major Woodward moved that Mr. Brice be elected by acclamation; and the motion was unanimously adopted. Mr. Brice, in a brief speech, returned his thanks for the compliment, and expressed the hope that the farmers' movement, so handsomely represented in this meeting, would result in good to the whole people of the State. Mr. Saml. McCormick was elected rice-president, Mr. J. M. Stewart secretary, and Mr. J. M. Galloway treasurer?each unanimously and by acclamation. A motion was made to elect dele?:ites to the State Convention ot Farm er?, but, after some litue lmercnange of views, the motion was withdrawn, in order that other matters might be taken up. The president calling for resolutions, Mr. J. M. Stewart offered the following: Resolved, 1. That we regard the further maintenance of the Citadel Academy as inexpedient; and we recommend that the State appropriation now applied to its support be transferred to the South Carolina College, giving us one first-class institution, instead of two second-rate ones. Resolved, 2. That we urge those in authority to consider earnestly the propriety of establishing an Agricultural College; and, for this purpose, we suggest that the Legislature appoint a suitable person to examine into the workings of such colleges in this country and in Europe, in order to ascertain what has been tne result 01 their operations upon the intellectual and material advancement of the agricultural classes. Resolved, 3. That, in our opinion, the establishment of agricultural experimental stations would result in much benefit to the State; their number and location being determined by geological and climalic considerations. Resolved, 4. That we regard the Agricultural Department of the State, from defects either in its constitution or in its management, as a failure; and we recommend its abolition. Resolved, 5. That inasmuch as the purchasing power of money has in- 1 creased at least twenty-five per cent, since the present rate of public salaries was established, and also as our ability to pay them has decreased much more, we therefore insist upon a reduction of ten per cent, in the pay of all salaried public officials. Mr. J. D. Harrison moved to table ail the resolutions, but the motion was Inst. The first resolution was then taken up, and quite a discussion ensued. Messrs. "W. S. Hall and S. R. Rutland favored the resolution, and Messrs. J. D. Harrison and T. "W. "Woodward opposed the passage. Mr. Jno. W. Lyles suggested that in the present stage of the farmers organization the resolution was premature, and he moved the postponment of its consideration for the present The motion was unanimously adopted. Mr. Stewart then withdrew the remaining resolutions. Major C. E. Thomas now renewed his motion to elect eight delegates to the State Convenciou of Farmers, to be held in November next. The motion prevailed, and the followingnamed gentlemen were elected by acclamation: T. 8. Brice, T. "W". "Woodward, John W. Lvles, S. R. Rutland, Saml. McCormick, "Win. R. Jtabb, J. M. Galloway, A. P. Irby. On motion, a committee of three was appointed to draft a constitution for the County Association, as fellows: T. "W. "Woodward, Amos E. Davis and JIayne McMeekiu. On motion of Mr. N. C.

Tillman to address the farmers of Fairfield on the first Monday in September next. On motion of Mr. John "W. Lyles, it was resolved to invite Dr. John M. McBrvde, president of the South Carolina College, to deliver an address before the Association?the day to be fixed hereafter. On motion, Messrs. John "W. Lyles and J. M. Stewart were appointed a committee to extend the above-stated invitations. The Association then adjourned, to meet on the first Monday in September. WITHDRAWAL. 3Messrs.

The Charlotte Observer gives the j - - ~ ? __ x .r n ~ ^ particulars 01 tne execution 01 veuigu | Moore, convicted in June last of a j criminal assault upon his own daugh- i ter. A short time before the execution f Moore was visited by the Hev. A. G. McManaway pastor of the Baptist church, who had previously administered to the spiritual wants of the condemned man, and on entering the jail lie proceeded to the cell in which the prisoner was confined. The preacher was greeted by Moore in a cordial ! manner, and the prisoner was cool I and collected. He was dressed in a J common suit of clothes, with a clean ! i shirt. He had cast his shoes aside,: and wore a clean white pair of stock- j ings on his feet. His cast off clothing was neatly bundled and stored away in his cell, and on his cot lay an open Iiible. To his ministerial visitor, Moore stated that lie had nothing lurtlier to say except unit ne was innocent, and then he gave Mr.McManaway a slip of brown paper upon which, in lead pencil, was written the follow-; iug statement, which he requested to j be published: "Charlotte, N. C., July 2, isso. UI, G. W. Moore, do hereby make a , true statement of my life. My first | wrong act, according to the laws of J God, was committed August 1G, 1872.1 I took that which no man can give, but it was taken in self-defence, j Secondly, in 1SS1, while in public business, I purchased stock ci" parties not belonging to them and was iin- j prisoned for the same, but was released . by Major T. Woodward, of Fairfield, : S. C. Through all ray ups and downs I have tried to serve the Lord. : This last charge I am .is ?lear of as ! he j Angels in Heaven. Young and old, j beware of false slanders. I have given up all to Christ. The 19th chapter of 1 Tnh. hftorirminor at the 20th Verse: "0, ; 3 """O" **?O . . ye false swearers and slanderers, I pause before it is too late." "Yours in Christ, "G. W. Moore." j After a few further words between ' the pastor and the prisoner, Sheriff; Griffith stepped forward and strapped the prisoner's arms securely, and then led him around to the south corridor to the gallows. Moore's first glance at the dangling noose caused a perceptible shudder to pass though his frame, but he showed 110 signs of emotion. He was assisted up the steps leading to the platform by the sheriff and officer Boyte, and when Moore felt the knot adjusted around his neck, he asked to be permitted to say a few words. His voice was low, but distinct, as he said: "I did not want to say anything until the rope was around* my neck. You see where I stand, and the* Loord knows I am i innocent of the charge tor wmcn i am to die. An innocent man is to be killed. I want yon all to remember that." Moore (hen turned to Sheriff Griffith and said: "Xow, Sheriff, do your work." The officer adjusted the black cap over the prisoner's head, and then hurriedly descending from the scaffold, he picked up an axe. The blade glittered in the air for a moment, then fell upon the rope which sup ported the trap. There was a sound of tumbling timbers, followed by a; dull thud, and George Moore's body j was danglingiu the air. The fall was j nearly six feet and the neck of the < condemned man was broken. The body hung motionless, with the excep-1 tion of the invariable twirling around, j and there were no contortions. The j drop fell at 11.05, and fifteen minutes ! later Drs. Brattou and Byers pro- j nounced the man dead, but the body j was permitted to hang lor thirty j minutes. At the expiration of that j time it was cut down, placed in a; coffin, and sent to the poor house j burial grounds lor interment. The "first wrong act" .referred to in Moore's statement, was the killing of ! his stepfather. Moore was sent to the penitentiary, but was pardoned. FOR COUJSTY COJiZMIsTroy^Elf.
