VO._XI PICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY,) APRIL 6, 183MO 9 AT THE LAST MOMENT. WADE HAINES RESPITED IN THE FACE OF DEATH. He and Everyb7dy Else Expected That l5e Would Die-Hlalf Hour 3efore the Time the Governor Acts f.r SuflIcient Reasons. COLUMBIA, March 24.-What an aw ful strain Wade Ilayne3 went through to-day no one can ever conceive. As the minutes went by he and those near and dear to him had every reason to believe that an awful death was fast approaching. There in a little prison cell sat the condemned murderer, with out a ray of hope, yet brave and reso lute, tc meet death like an innocent man. Around him were friend. and, what is fat more, a mother writhing In the agonies ot distress. That alone moved him, and it was only when he looked at his suffering mother that. he wept. Little did he dream that an electric message would save his life for a month, if not longer. Sheriff Cath cart had given up hope. Ilaynes had long abandoned it, and the ministers were in the midst of the death prayer when a telegram arrives, no one can say from where. A message is con veyed by telephone to the jail to stay the execution. A respite is received at 11 o'clock and a life is spa-ed. The ex ecution was to have taken place at that hour, and, so far as can be seen, noth ing short of this mysterious telegram saved the boy's life. It was indeed a to.uching scene. Neither mother nor son could say anything for joy, and there in the prison cell, under the very shadow of death, the two stood in each other's arms, crying for pure joy. True there seemed to be something like a sensational effect in the way in which the respite came, but I honestly be lieve that Governor Tillman had no such intentions, and. further, that he is trying, as he believes, to do his duty in doing the boy justice. It is in(leed a curious case and one that has excited very general interest, but whatever the opinion is no one will or can censure Governor Tillman for his action, and the only hope is that the boy will be ultimately pardoned. Haynes had been sent to the Peniten tiary a long time ago for safe-keeping, and this morning Sheriff Cathcart, Constable Hartin and Jailer Coleman went to get the prisoner for execution. No one then had a right to hope that there would be no execution. The boy, for he is only 16, had nothing to say before leaving the Penitentiary. le told Ais friends that he was inno cent. Those who have been watching him say that he was perfectly calm during the night. At times he would offer up a prayer. Ie ate nothing. To those who questioned him he said that he was prepared to die. At the jail the party from the 'enl tentiary, who came in a landau, was met by several hundred curious peo ple, mostly AeArw1&-4*io w-rc anxious to see wh j e--io be seen. Ile was met insido of tJa jail by a number of colored frs1, ,A and ministers, among them being e Revs. Johnson, Wilson, Baylor, Carter, Daniels and Deacons Carrol and Black. There was no time lost, Pnd the ministers under the direc tion of the Rev. Mr. Johnson devoted themselves to prayer and song. Sad indeed were the hymns of that small party -f colored divines. Perhaps never Uefore have they been more af fected. There were old and przcticcd ministers singing praise unto God with tears trickling down their cheeks. But the saddest sight of all was that of Haynes's mother. She insisted upon being with "her boy" until the lait. Most of the time she sat on a narrow bench in silent prayer and agony, wringing her hands, Then all of a sud den she would try and reach WVade, and on one occasion she fell prostrate upon the bare floor, and cried and sobbed for "My innocent boy that they are going to kill." She had a little son with her and he, too, shed bitter tears. But what of llaynes ? If to show indiffer ence is to mamifest bravery, then he did so. It was not until the breaking down of his mother that he showed much emotion, but when she fell to the grFound t he tears began to trickle do wn hscheeks, and from that time on to the annour,rcemnent of respite he shed tears. IIis nervousness he showed by twirling and twisting a handkerchief which one of the ministers had given bim. It was only a few minutes before 11 o'clock when Sheriff Cathcart received news of the respite. Constable IIar 4 tin was sent af ter it, and in the mean while the Rev. Mr. Johnson was ad vised that he might go on withi t,he ser vices as long as he chose, It seemewd that these little whisperings told those around that something had occurred, and from that time on there was a kind of damper over the whole ,'re ceedings. Soon after the sacramnont had been administe ed, Sherif Cath tart went into the ce-ll anrd asked Hlaynes tostand up. What a momient of suspense! 'The Governor has sent a respite for you until the 21st of A pril," said Sheriff CJatiicart. "Yes, sir," was IIaynes's only an swer. "Thank God!" saidi his mother. Mother and son were allowed to em brace. They cried for joy. In a few rnomergts handcuffs were put, on the boy, he was reconveyed to the landau and hurried back to lisa prison cell in the Penitentiary. Every preparation had been madte for S the execution. Tlhie gallo':.s was ini readiness for use. T'he collin wvas ont the grounds to take away a corpse, and wel-nigh 90 per cent ol those present expectedi the execution would take place. An outburst of applause went up as the carriage went to the l'eniten tiary. This ends another ana excit ing chapter in a most remarkable crime one in which an ininocent boy is thought to be suffering. S Petitions have been presenit"d to - Governor Tillmnan to commute t.he sen tence, and nine of the jury men who -convicted th'e boy have joine'. in the petition. Other and fruitless efforts have been inade to save the boy. Governor Till man's only statement regarding the respite was t,hat he g'ranted it "for good and suflictent rea sons."-News and Courier.

Wh%at Dwight, L. Moody Says on the Sub ject. I have no sympathy whatever for these men outside of the Churoh that are too good to unite with some Church. I believe the beat people in this world and the best people during the last six thousand years have always identified themselves with God and God's people, and taken their stand. The men that stand outside and throw stones at the Church are not much help to the cause of Christ. What we want is to build up, and if the Church is not what it ought to be let us try and purify it [o what we can to make it better. 1 think it just as much a command, if we believe, to take our stand among D'hrist's disciples and bear the heat and )urden of tht day, as it is for us to be ieve. The first step is to believe. The iext step is to confess and come out roin the world. I think it is just as iatural for a true disciple to go among Iod's people as it is for water to ru't lown hill. I do not understand how t is that a man truly born of God hould not have a desire to identify Aimself with the Church of God. It is lot only a duty, but a glorious privil ige to be in the bosom of some Church. gow, I have found a great many peo )le that find fault with the Church ,hat the Church don't look after the ck and those in trouble and all that. never found it to fail that those who :omplain are those who have left the 'hurch. They were members, they .vould go Sunday mornings, but they vere not known as active members of he Church. I never knew a real active nember of the Church go to the poor louse. I never knew of real active hurch Christians, doing what they ,ould to build up the cause that the Ahurci did not turn out in a mass and' vait upon them. These people that Lre finding fault with the Church may e members, but that is all they are. L'hey never have lifted a hand to help he Church; and then the Church don't c.ow them in time of trouble and ickness. It is a glorious thing to be ong to the church of God. I expect o be a member of the church so long Is I an on the earth, unless they turn me out. I have no desire to be outside f the church. I believe it is the best nstitutiou inder Heaven. It is the )nly institution I want to belong to. '[ie purchased it with Ills own blood." It is the dearest thing lie has got on Barth. Every one that loves the Lord Jesus Cliist ought to be in some church doing what be can to build it up, and not be outside throwing stones at it. Of course mistakes are made in the church. I have to speak of them to wake people up-show them their mis takes. If I have said anything that the enemies of Christ have taken up abd that has given the impression that I am not a member of a church I want them to understand that I am an olicer in the church, and I shall remain an oflicer in that church until my time ?xpires, and I shall remain a member, iuless they turn me out, as long as I ive, of some cburch. Another thinir, I find it is a very 3ommon thing for people to move with )ut taking a letter from their church. I met a case of that kind but yester lay. A man said to me, "I expect to eave here in about a year." "Well," I iaid, "why didn't you bring a letter ?" 'I am oily going to remain here a lear." "You can bring a letter easier than (ou can your trunk." Bring your let ,er along if you can't remain over a rear and go into some church, and dentify yourself with some church, md give all the influence you have to wvards building up that church. If roui stay here a year you may do a good leal toward winning souls to Christ. lf you go to another place, and don't mxpect to stay but three months, ask lor your letter and identify yourselves wvherever you are with the church of Aod.

A Great Deal of Property Destroyed ai Many Persons Killed and Injurec Some of the Freaks and Full PartIc Jars of the Storm. MEMPius, March 24.-A severe stor swevt across the Mississippi Delta ye terday morning, doing considera> damage to early crops, and creat4 much excitement. News from varioi points indicated that, while the stor was cyclonic, early rumors of damal done were exaggerated.' One man said to have been killed at Kelly's, at another injured by falling building The damage elsewhere was to troper only. Reports that Water Valley hi been wiped out and the inhabitar killed cannot be authenticated, and considered a canard. No sDecial tral have gone out from Memphis. The path of the cyclone, which e tered Tennessee yesterday afternoon a southwesterly direction from Missi sippi, appears to have been about twe ty miles in width, although serio, damage was confined to a much sm t er area. The wires are down in all ( rections. There is no telegraphic cor munication with Nashville and intE vening points, and little news is o tainable from the places visited by ti cyclone. This city barely escaped. heavy rain fell and a high wind blew the time the cyclone raged and it > came as dark as night for thirthy mi utes. Heavy damage was done to trei and small outbuildings. The train fro Birmingham, Ala., which arrived la last night, reports much damage b tween here and Byhalia, twenty mil east. At 2.30 o'clock this morning the wi at Kelly, Miss., was tapped and detat telegraphed show that the early repor were not axaggerated. Not a hou escaped the storm's fury, and only few are left standing, and they a badly damaged. The house of Rolai Cox was lifted bodily and blown aw not a piece of timber being left. TI house of Robert Stevens was levelli to a heap of ruins. The residence D. N. Harris, a wealthy planter, w wrecked, and the houses of four of I tenants were blown away. Tlt houses belonging to S. Hudnell w( blown down. The wind indulged ir queer freak with the dwelling hom, of W. C. Boggs, which formerly tac the north. It still stands in a damag condition, but it now faces the south TIIE STORM AT NASHVILLE.

At Derdem, a suburban town, the e tire place was obliterated by storm ai fire. The damage to Nashville prop ty alone is over $100,000. The cyclo: ploughed its way down the Cumnb land yalley and destroyed property at life, but the wires are down and not Ing definite can be earned. WV. F.

There was a decided disposition on the art of the trustees of the College tc et as much as they could for the in. titution. Governor Tillman announced that h oard had decided to got as large a bk ,s possible and that the bids would it ,ccordance be kept open until to-mor ow, so as to prize the bids up. Chester and Rock 11111, havng t1hel nds ready, entered a protest, an,l thi )oard then deci-ted to close the bids to light. Then the difterent dclegations retire .o repair and bolster up their bids. Th Dhester and Rock Hill people allege Lbat they would have easily :beate Spartanburg, but that when the new tur was taken, and bids were not handed j promptly at 8 o'clock, that evervboO had to go down into his pockets. S,artal burg's moneyed men made up their tin bid. Chester held a conference and decid It would make no supplemental offe It claimed it had no right, to raise its b after the hour for closing bids as oflicia ly announced. Rock Iill's delegati( met and the members volunteered an a, ditional subscription of twenty-five hui ]red dollars. Spartanburg kept its ow ,ounsel. After the delegations ha 'heir meetings and the time limit ha Ixpired Governor Tillman called for a )ios and with them retirLd with the truQ les. The Chester delegation was calle irst.

'1TIiiE LNINTLSS COTTON PLANT. es- Sonme years aco The News and Couri er called attention to the discovery of a lul lintless cotton lant which was raised in es, Spartanb,ur. County and of whIch a ite spiecuinen was sent to Charleston. The un( ilt which produces the seed is simi its l ar to the ordinary cotton plant, but can edI. stalnd a greater degree of drought. Tbe her seed1, which grow in pods or boIls, are lici smaller than the seed of the ordInary the citt'n plant, and have not quite so ari- large a kernel, but the large in.crease In ras the yield compensates for the small si. ise The plant, it is claimed, producua from Luk 200 to 400 bushels ot seed alone to each im aLcre. At any rate t.le culture of the Les intless cotton would pay far better than .the ordinary cotton crop. Since then iwd this plant has been cultivated in Texas is, and elsewhere, and, in view of the re er, cent growth of the cotton seed industry, in it may be0 well worth looking into. TiI IS YEAR'i P'ROSPEOTS. During the coming season the pros . ects are favorable for a somewhat In creased cotton1 acreage over last year, rIh bat the total yield will hardly be as roll large as it was in 1891. The pr ce of >st- 0(1d has advanced with the Increased )stn demand for it, and the' probability !s re-n that almost the entire seed crop wIll,be es marketed during the coming season. :ctNews and Courier. ore Dlin's Wans It, of COLUM1BIA, .8.

FoRT SK[Tir, Ark., March 28.-A n- fight took plae today at Antiers, Choc 8- taw Nation, between the Choct-Lw mili i- tia and the Jackson faction in which 1 twenty men are reported killed and 1 twenty-two wounded. The 1ight is re a ported still in progress at 6 o'clock. r- Antiers is 125 miles south of here. The b- trouble is the outgrowth of the election e last August for Chief. In September A before the council met four Jones men At were assassinated by Jackson men. e- When the council met the militia were n- there to preserve order. Jones was de 3s clared ciiet. In Twenty-two men wete arrested te charged with the murders in September e- and are now in custody. Dick Lotke, a prominent merchant of Aritiers. was re charged with inciting these murders, ls but was nil, arrested. The militia was ts sent out to arrest him and others when se their friends rallied to their support and a the result was the battle of today. A re late dispatch says the malitia have been id arrested by United States authorities y, and Governer Jones has been tele le a-raphed to go to Paris at once. ,d Later telegrams just received say the of militia attacked Locke's party at his as private residence, which was riddled e wiJi bullets. Every window was shot re oat. Three of Locke's !uen were badly a wounded, fifteen of the militia wounded es and five reported dead. Nineteen of the ed militia were arrested by United States ed officers and taken to Paris, Texas. Locke had no objections to being tried but feared to allow himseli to be ar 30- rested by the Jones militi 1, and hence rer resisted. IIe stands high and has many In- friends. Three hundred men took part In in the battle, each side, having about eo- one hundred and fifty supporters. re The latest advices say ten men were ier killed and fifteen wounded. One side ry represents the Choctaw government 3r- termed the national militia, and the ed others are followers of V. M.
