Tflere was enacted in the Ricblacd - ^ ? -n ?v> rt 11/? m court yesteruay a oceue uibiuouv m the extreme andoDly too infrequently seen in the State of South Carolina. Marion Parr, a convicted murderer, was placed before tbe bar and sentenced to be banged on tbe 14th day of April next. Before the bar stood tbe criminal, tbe first of bis race to be in imh a position since Robert Hodge stnr d up to receive bis sentenced in 18G9 There was a deathly silence over rbn assembled crowd, and during tb s time scarcely a word was spoken save by tbe principal actors in tbistra^ e ly iu the life of a white maD who bad been convicted of a foul murder. When asked the customary question by tbe judge, as to whe.her be had anything to say why the sentence of death should not be passed upon him, the prisoner in a calm and cool manner expressed tbe opinion that he bad proved an alibi and cons< quently was innocent of tbe crime. He claimed that because he was poor and friendless he was being persecot1 ' nkaf nonHQ ho I 6Q Oy SUIXIO UUCj J Ul n uav vnuoy ww did not know. His remarks were short aod he displayed little, in fact not 8Dj, nervousness while makiDg bis speech. Parr closed with a plea for the mercy of the court, seemingly not knowing that the only punishment which could be inflicted under the verdict was that of death. At the conclusion of the prisoner's remarks and amid complete silence, the judge started upon the speech I which was to conclude with the words j which would in all probability, settle | the fate of the prisoner at the bar. j Judge McDonald said that be would | not review the evidence adduced during the trial and also stated that he regretted that be could not grant a new trial. This he said he could not j do and perform his duty, '^unpleasant though it might be. The contention^ j cf the defendant's counsel he bsd carefully weighed and nothing wonld j have pleased him better than to have I granted the new trial, but he had not | been conscientiously able to do' so. j He said that before him was one of the UDpleasantest duties which man is called upon to perform for bis country. Counsel bad been appointed for the defendant and well ' -? ...j L;__ naa tney represeuieu mm. xxe uupcu i they would be able to carry the case | to the Supreme court, so as to decide | upon all point3 of the law. Upon the evidence that court had no power to act. The correctness or falsity of that had been passed upon by a fair aod impartial jury. Judge McDonald went on to say that the prisoner had claimed that be was innocent, but in the human tribunals such matters could only be judged on the evidence presented, Doth for and against the prisoner. Tbere might be an error, but so far ^as human justice could decide the prisoner was guilty of a most foul and unjustifiable murder. Under the verdict delivered by the jury there could be only one sentence passed. Tbere was only one power that could save the guilty map, unless possibly the supreme court granted a new trial, and that was the Governor. The judge said that he was sorry for the maD and hoped that every effort would be made to save bim from death. During the time which will bp given to the prisoner the judge said that be would commend him to God and hoped that the condemned man would spend the time in praying to Almighty God for for : ? U ? find in fVto giveuesa. no wuuiu uuu m ?uo Christian religion that comfort and consolation of which he was in sore Doed. The guilty man had been tried before God and his country and had been convicted by his cbuntry, so his only hope waB to pray God to grant him his forgiveness. Judge McDonald then pronounced the sentence: "It being solemnly demanded of the prisoner at the .bar if he hath anything to say why the sentence of | death should not be passed upon him, be saith nothing further unless he | hath before said. ! "Wherefore, it is considered by the ; court, and pronounced as the judgi ment of the law, that the said Marion | Parr be takea hence whence last be j came, there to be kept in close and | safe custody until Friday, the 14ih Uday of April next; and that on that | said Friday between the hours of 10 I o'clock in the forenoon and 2 o'clock | in the afternoon be taken to the jiil j enclosure in the county and then be ; hanged by the neck until his body be i dead And may God have znticy on ! his SOui." There was a sigh of relief as bood | as the fatal words had been pro| nounced and the crowd quickly left the court house. Farr did not exhibit any emotion and seemed as little concerned in the proceedings as heretofore. Ke was returned to the jail until the day of I his ex?outiou, which is this morning j only "><; days distant, and on that morning, ucless there is intervention, I Marion Farr will stand thai before j his God as here he has stood his trial before his country. i ? ? j i Subscribe for the Dispatch.

WOMEN'S NEGLECT SUFFERIN6THESUREPENALTY Health Thus Lost Is Restored by Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the same story over and over ag-ain. tk I do not feel well; I am so tired all the time!" More than likely yon speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel Jar from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the female organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nervousness, sleeplessness, leucorrhcea. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. - M iss Kate McDonald, of Woodbridge, N J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " I think that a woman naturally dislikes to make her troubles known to the public, but restored health has meant so "much to me that I cannot help from telling mine for the sake of other suffering women. " For a long time I suffered untold a^ony with a uterir.e trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, and made me well and strong, and I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women what a splendid medicine it is." If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta Die Compound at once, ana write to Mrs Pinkham, Lynn.
