If you have neglected your duty, if I have neglectedi my duty, it is neglected for ever. Each year has its work. If the 8 work is performed within the 12 mot months, it is done forever. If neglect- met ed, it is neglected forever. Pet( When a young woman was dying, she mar said, "Call thom back." 'hey did not pre know what she meant. She had been Pet a disciple of the world. She said, "Oh, Pet (all them back;" They said, "Who do ed ] you want us to call back ?" "Oh," she I said, "call then back, the days, the the months, the years, I have wasted. Call A them back!" But you cannot call a - year back, or a month back, or a week ty. back. or an hour back, or a second back. i.

C., April 26.-Wade po r Hlaines has consessed his crime. Such fee is the allegation inad i by one of the dI , convicts in the Penitentiary. This dic statement is corroborated by the test i- lI mony of a man whose evidence is ad- i IV missible in court. A legister reporter. to heard yesterday that Rains had made ea conf:s.sion to two convicts in J1uly. a 18i9l, and that the reason tdis ha'l never been made public was that it wasfr deemed un wise to do so, as the convicts' un1 Stestimiony was inadmissible in th-e ter courts, arid would simply prejudice the era jnry- .hes The reportfer went to the F:enitentiar, do,~ where he saw the convict who clames. int< to have beenl Ilaines's confidant. IIis b name is D)oc Jones. ,Jones is a dark to ero)wn negro from Anderson and is serving his third term in the Pen iten - h tiary'. When asked about the matter,to .Jones told a story, part of which isto unfit for print. For most filthy reasons, cep Ilaines took .Jones into his confidleuce. wa In .July, i891I, they wvere working in the is r1 garden together and stooped down wit among some high vines. cha Ilainies asked .Jones if l:e could write. the Th'le latter replied that lie could, and1 (do) IIaines asked him to write a letter to an( his mother, telling her to get a girl, mo Julia Alexander, to testify to some sta things, which lie specified, which would th aid his cause. ,Jones ref used to write we the letter unless IIaines would tell h imwa the truth 'ibout the whole matter fo Ilaines finally agreed to do this and to I started out by stating he hail had crimi- lik( nal intercourse with Miss IIornsby. It' Jlones asked him why he killed her if an< that was the case. Ilaines replied that. wit on the day the murder was committed 'l she refused to have anything to do wit with him and commenced screaming the when he touched her. .1Ie then flumg Ba her down and( stuck his knife into hier. thu What (lid you do with your clothes ?" whi asked Jones. "I hid them in a reed-pile," replied I Iaines. Just as ,Jones was going to ask for "I more details, the guard spied them loafing and ordered them to work; soso the conversation was broken up. La mtu Fayette F. Cou rtenay, a white convict ma fromi Lancaster, told the same tale on am IIaines about the same time, iIe Finally it was agreed that the t wo muen ma should attempt to get hIaines to repeat Wl his story to them when others could agr hear it. Thuey went into a room, in one thec side of which auger holes had been l1o bore'd to allow the witnesses to hear m' the story. IIaines started but caught me a glimpse of an otlicer's uniform and(i clossed up like an oyster. Courtenay was pardon ed, and left the Penitentiary' O probably to go back to Lancaster. "a If is pardon removed his disability and Ch his testimony can now be received in cy< court. w ii \Vhen WVade IIaines was confronted ain with these statements, he ~Lid a remark. -(d0 able story, alleging that ,Jones was brib- tha ed1 to tell his story, by a gift of two plugs -wo tobacco, by one of the guards, iIe lie, madIe no reference to Courtenay- the ,Jones was very earnest andi emphatic the in asserting the truth of the story. iIe called uplonl God to kill him ere lie left m the room if he had not told the truth.
