of tbe letters, in text, forming the title, and on the opposite side a few words of print. It was impossible to identify the paper by the small fragment of print, and Major Hart imposed upon himself the task of instituting enquiry and ex, amination at Bullock's Creek postoffice, where all the suspected persons received their mail; but no paper corresponding with this fragment was taken at that office. Hajor Hart hoped that it might prove a clew to establish Cranford's innocence, in which Cranford then so vehemently protested ; yet if it fastened the guilt upon Cranford it could not be helped. Cranford heard this story with some degree of satisfaction, it being the first intimation he had of it. He did did not remember, if heever knew, what kind of paper ho used in charging his gun. Rev. J. E. Covington, pastor ot the Baptist f!hnrt>h. next visited the prisoner. The scene on this occasion was impressive. The divine spoke earnestly and solemnly to the condemned man, warning him of the consequences of entering upon the next life without leaving a full confession of his crime. He replied that he had long since confessed it to God, and had already acknowledged it to man. He reiterated his confession of guilt and said that the acknowledgment of it there that morning had relieved his mind of a great burden. Regarding his preparation for death he spoke encouragingly and intelligently, repeating passages of the Scriptures in exemplification of his faith and hope in a full atonement of his sins. The minister then offered a fervent prayer in behalf of the prisoner. A large numbor of colored people had assembled in the street in front of the jail, and in order to gratify their curiosity, whether morbid or otherwise, the Sheriff permitted all who desired to pass up and see the prisoner. It is safe to say that all availed themselves of this opportunity. Several persons held conversations with him as the morning advanced, and to one party, in speaking of the murder, he said it was instigated by Gile3 Good and the reason assigned was that Ellison Sanders had joined the Democratic club. As the hour for the execution of the sentence approached, Rev. Scipio Green and a few colored fho nolt anH Pnndllfited UIOII a^mu icpaiiou w w? religious devotibns by singing and prayer. At about 15 minutes after 11 o'clock the Sheriff led the prisoner into the room containing the scaffold?in the north-east corner on the third floor. The room and corridor were comfortably filled with persons, white and colored, who had been admitted by the Sheriff. The doomed man ascended the scaffold with a firm step, and on being told by the Sheriff that he could speak what he had to say, without visible tremor of voice or muscle he then said that for the Sheriff*s consolation he would speak. The Sheriff had often said to him that he never wanted to believe that he had executed the death penalty on an innocent man, and "you are not hanging one innocent of the charge; I am guilty of the charge." He said no more in reference to the crime, and from the scaffold said nothing implicating any other person. He merely thanked the Sheriff for the kind treatment he had received at his hands while in jaiL A hymn was sung, Rev. Scipio Green offered up a prayer, the arms and feet of the culprit were pinioned, the black cap was drawn over the face, the noose adjusted, and at 26} minutes after 11 o'clock the cord sustaining the fatal trap was cut, and Columbus Cranford's spirit was launched into eternity. The body was suspended thirty-three minutes, when Dr. Lindsay, county physician, and his assistant, Dr. White, pronounced life extinct. Relatives were in waiting, who took charge of the body after it was placed in the coffin. THE WHEAT CROP. | The returns of April to the department of i Agriculture at Washington indicate a reduction of over 10 per cent, of last year's area in winter wheat. The aggregate shortage amounts to 3,000,000 acres. A decrease is reported in every State except Oregon. It is 22 per cent, in Kansas and Virginia, 20 in Mississippi, 15 in California, 15 in Alabama, 12 in Tennessee, Illinois and Missouri, 11 in New York and North Carolina, 10 in Maryland and Texas, 9 in New Jersey, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana, 7 in Georgia and Ohio, 6 in Pennsylvania and Delaware, 5 in Michigan, 8 in Arkansas, 2 in South Caralina. The present condition , of wheat as reported is worse than in 1883. It is 77 per cent, againt 96 last year and 80 in 1883. In 1881, the year of the lowest recent rate of yield, the condition on April 1st was 85, and a serious loss was sustained afterwards. The real status of the crop will he better shown a month hence, when the vitality of the roots has been demonstrated and the character of the spring determined. On the present showing the reduction of the yield on a basis of last year's production nrnmisw tn hfi nearlv 40.000.000 bushels on account of the reduced area, and more than 60,000,000 from winter killing and low vitality. Whether the crop will exceed 400,000000 bushels or fall short of it depends upon the reliability of present appearances and on future conditions affecting the growth and ripening. The soil was in bad condition at the time of seeding in the Atlantic coast from New Jersey to Georgia, and in West Virginia and Tennessee. It was better in the Southwest and in Missouri, Illinois and Michigan. In the Ohio valley it is scarcely in a medium condition. The damage by the Hessian fly was not severe, though the worst in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, where injuries have occurred in three-tenths of the reported territory. The acreage of rye has been deceased in about the same proportion as wheat, but the condition of the crop is decidedly better, the average being 87 per cent. MERE-MENTION. It is a notorious fact that nobody connected with Wall street, directly or indirectly, believes that Ferd Ward is a criminal or that he ought to be in jail. This speaks volumes for Wall street morality. The whirligig of time brings about some strange situations. The men who refused to hear Henry Ward Beecher lecture in Tennessee are Republicans. The audience was made up of Southern Democrats and ex-slaveholders. The citizens of New Orleans do not take much interest in the World's Exposition. Snow fell at Lynchburg, Va., and as far south as Greensboro, N. C., last Friday. During his first month in office Postmaster General Vilas commissioned 450 postmasters and prepared more than 100 presidential commissions for approval. A fishing party at Salem, N. C., took 6,000 carp from one pond on Easter Monday. The fish ranged from one to nine pounds. Municipal elections last week in several towns and cities in Ohio resulted In Democratic victories. A prayerbook was offered for a drink to a Lowell, Massachusetts, saloon-keeper, recently by a man who stated that he was out of money and hadn't anytingelse that he could pawn. The offer was refused. The Right Honorable George Samuel Nattage, Lord Mayor of London, died last Saturday morning of pleurisy. On Saturday last, under proceedings on an inquisition of idi- j ocy before the Court of ordinary at Columbus, Ga., Blind Tom, the famous pianist, was placed under the guardianship of^General James N. Bethune. Pima county, Arizona, has 100,000 cattle. A flag-staff at Mount Vernon, Washington Territory, 146 feet high, is claimed to be one of the longest unspliced spars in the United States. J. Henry Shaw, Demo cratic member of the Illinois Legislature, died last Sunday, he being the third member who has died during the session. There is no material change in (Jen. Grant's condition. ? On Saturday the Charleston Presbytery, in session at Charleston, adopted, by a large majority, an overture from the General Assembly of 1884 striking out from the Confession of Faith the folio wing words: "The man may not marry any of his wife's kindred nearer iu blood than he may of his own, nor the woman of her husband's kindred nearer in blood than her own." ? Ex-United States Marshal Blythe, tried in the Federal Court at Charleston last week for rendering false accounts against the government, was acquitted, the jury rendering their verdict on Saturday night.* The defence made was that while the accounts were informal, there was no intent to defraud, and no effort at concealment. ? Dr. J. C. Blakeney, a prominent physician and surgeon of Lancaster county, and an ex-raember of the Legislature, died suddenly on the 6th instant, aged 89 years. He had Bright's disease of the kidneys. Utarkt ilfftrts. ' YORKYILLE, April 15.?Cotton 9 to 10. LIVERPOOL, April 13.?Cotton dull; middling uplands, 515-10d.

WHY is IT? j: WHY is it that baker's bread is used oxclu- J sively in all the cities and even among the peasantry of the Old World, and in all the pro- j ' gressive cities of the United States? Why is it ' that special laws are enacted by the English, ; German, French and other great governments prescribing the manner in which it should be . made and sold? Why do the encyclopedias de- ! vote dozens of pages to it, tracing its history from the primeval times down to the present, giving a minute description of its manufacture, . and relative value over other kinds of bread7 i ! ] THE ANSWER IS !' I Because the experience of ages has proved beyond a doubt, that baker's bread is not only by far the most wholesome, but its value in producing bono and muscle in more than 20 per cent. x above any other. ; Our Bread is made according to the most approved methods, and as for price, we are as cheap as the cheapest, although we stand more upon quality.
