facts which they allege they will cstah

p m- Italian Immigrant, earning ?1.50 I
a day, put aside ilo conts a day for his
own scanty food and sent $300 a year
to Italy to support his mother, three
ulsters nud a brother. Thero is uo truer
heroism than thut of this poor day la

by tho plain common people? aud they

support for faith in human naturo and
for confidence in the futuro of tho hu

V [ Taken.
* * i
1J ? ? ?
Ljhomaa 0 . Aughtry has been sen
tenced t <) imprisonment in tho I'? ni
tentiary fur tho remainder of hi?
natural lift) at hard labor. While
sentence was being passed on hi?rt he
giue tho \ ory fl i ?t ovidonco of tlinoh*
nig. Tho cftHo in not yet at an eud, as
thoro in an itimation of an appeal.
Win counsel huvo made a gallant ll^ht
for him and arc not disposed to give
up until tho lust, effort is rnado in hit
behalf. N'o douKt tho jury ncvor in
tended that Aughry should receive a
life sentence, but the sentencing Judge
laid no legal right to regard the
ipeoial request to lighten tho sentence.
A verdict of guilty with a rycomeuda,
Uon means life imprisonment.
-Mr. Crawford in agoing for tho new
trial I used his application on four
grounds:
Find, on ncoount of the ^special
finding accompanying tho jury 's verdict
and that tin? verdict did not carry out
1 1 ? ? ? intentions of the jury.
Second, because the solicitor oinpha?
hi/.ed and used against tho defendant
i the fact that ho wits not sworn an a
witness in tho ease.
Third, becuuso of tho display of tho
I garments alleged to havo been worn
I by Mrs. Oliver, although they hud
I been rule I out a;i evidenco.
louith, on itceuunt of tho iusuflh
oi( JicyY>f the cvideiico on which the
conviction wa? brought about.
Mr. Craw fords had Stenographer
Macfeat lead the colloquy between the
Cot!.' t and jury when it cau>0 into
Con 1 1> tho second t iiiio to tind out the
fofrns of a verdict. Tho jury, he nr#;od,
wit!' misled by what was said in these
instruetiouM as to tho ofioot of a rec
oniMiendation to mercy would ipvidvo
a life sentence. The jury, he said,
iwus left under the iinpresH'ou that its
votdiet would result in a ihoit term of
sentence and not in lite imprisonment.
T.Ho jury when it wrote "guilty," with
a recommendation, considering its re
quest for information as to mansluugh*
tor, and its special pica to tho Court,
evidently meant to bring in a verdict
lor manslaughter, with a rccommenda*
tion to rtferoy.
lie also read the following statement
signed by the entire jury us substanti
ating the position he took on tho
matter :
'Wo, the undersigned jurois who
tried tho easy hereinabove entitled,
found tho* verdict rendered, guilty
with a i (^commendation to morcv, on
the supposition that tho law was sueh
t-luit it would place the punislunout iu
the control of tho presiding Judge,
who would put tho accused in prison
for ti term of years and not for life.
Our understanding of your Honor's
charge led to the error, as we had no
idea of finding a verdict which would
imprison him no long ns ho livod.
This position is borne out by tho com
munication aiidrt used by tho jury to
your Honor at the time of the render*
in# of the vordiot, your Honor having
said such a verdict would mako tho
punishment much lighter.
'I he statement, he said, wan entirely
voluntary on tho part of the jury. Mr.
Crawford then took up the decisions of
tho courts of the State as bearing on
the issue as borne out in the cases of
Murray, Dobsou and others.
Then Mr. Crawford took np'the po
sition that the Supreme Court had re
peatedly ur?ed the impropriety of the
solicitor makiug capital out of the fact
th it a prisoner did not appear as a wit
ness ill his own dofoiihO. As to the po
tation that there woe, an insufficiency
oi' evidence, he luveth that the State
had nover gotten tliiMjbfeiidutit within
two miles of the murder at tlse time it
was commit ted.
Solicitor NYlson in reply urged that
the .J;^jye had on one or two instances,
ami oqwmlly in the original chaiKO,
instructed the jury fully as to the
ctlect of a verdict of guilty with a rec
ommendation to mercy. lie suid that j
even where tho Judge failed entirely j
to instruct the jury as to the e/1'ect of j
a recommendation to mercy, too Su- !
premo Court had held that it would!
not Vitiut-o the verdict. Mr. Neb ?
so.'i thou took up the other '
points i)ti winch the new trial was!
KOUf'ht.
Crawford in bis reply devoted
moftt of his attention to the idea that |
th4 jury ? I i ? I not 1 1 : t n d to give such a !
vefdict as was in the hands of tho j
< oiirt, and that it hail been misled.
Judge Gary, in rendering hi? opinion j
on tho motion for a new trial, said that
hu w n n deeply impressed with the ini
port nice ot his decision, and hoped J
that lie appreciate 1 the full response,
bilitv. As to the f 1 1 ? point, that the [
pre?i.:ij}g Jud^c had failed or through
any oviTbight hid neglected to instruct
tli" ju?y ;n ?o the full force of a ree- i
omui "ii 'ntion to mercy, he siid: The j
Judge m i.is charge to the jury fully j
cxpiir.ued the force of such reeorn- |
uiiTii.ation in the ttccond place the |
j'uy it- i:, t abside.t Iv ei.tithd to thie i
lUioi'ination. r ? i a ? uso inently up- L
pealed from f-aur. i.s i otmty the Com t !
had ilveid d that a iu v\ trial was not
to beg/antid from the failure of the
Judge to charge on ttiis- matter, but hu |
had ?;.v??n 1he JiTrr-ttxUjnict ious on the '
ViHry lino in <pi?>Htiot>7Vs?Mo did not I
-u-wnf to deprive tho prisoned of any of 1
his rights, and hud himself, bO^ro the j
law was promulgate d, granted a new i
tii d because he ha<l not instructed the !
jur^ on the force < > f ?, rcconimendatu>n !
to in ere v. but in tin* cane lie thought
the prisoner ha 1 received nil theii^titn
ho was entitled to under the law. j )>o ?
jury is ftimp lv to s.iv w li<-tli?>r the piis- j
oner is guilty r.r not. and is not re- |
sp- lisitilo for the puni*diiuent.
In case the solicitor had i^oiie ho
yond his bounds in hisargument in tho
matter indicated by .Mr. Crawford he
would have called the solicitor's ntten- !
tion to tho fact and made him desist. J
lie said that ho had no denim to do- |
privo tho defendant of an^ of his rights
but looking at tho case as ho aid ho !
had to deny the request for a new i
trial.
dudgo Gary said to the prisoner that j
ftH it wan intimated that thcro would bo

that tho paper bo gotten tip f*>r hi?

It is stated thut tho two hut trials of
tho cuho cost tho county $3,500. Tho

Mrs. Oliver, who in a partner in tho

i Another reason for tho call, aud ono I
I that was of vital and great importanoe
not only to tho success ol the

I thut ho felt thut if the membere oould ,

Lincoln County, had boon greatly benefited
by the uao of Dr. Williams' Piak Pills tog

weut thither to see un i a-<oonnln the extent
of the benefit the ohlld had reoelved.
Riding out on Dboeudboi 6, 1695, to a little
country cottage lu the pine woods, a mile
distant from Iron Station, the reporter taw a
bright-faced young woman, a pure Anglo.

"You're a d' ranger In my eye," sbe said.
"1 am trying to find a child natood Wilbur

The husbnnd, Robert 0. Robinson. run* the
farm of 200 acres, but was off to tne nilll at

Tlio mother, Carrie L. Robinson, ton! a re
markable story of the cure of her littlo boy
from tho effects of la grlppo. Her aged,
whito-halroi mother, Mrs. Sirah A. Bandy,
tat near aud emphasize I every word of tbe
duughter. Tho little boy, Wilbur, who owod
his recovery to Dr. Williams' efTeoiive rem
cdy, played ubout tho house and vard, and
wan into every conceivable kin t of mlsohlef.
It really seemed that ho must havo taken too
many of Dr. Williams* P nk Pills, so great
was thoenorgy with Which ho prosecuted his
branks. Three times his mother ha I to stop
ner conversation and rush out to rosoue ihe
reporter's t.joyoie, which was leaning against
the house outside, and with which Wilbur
was bjci>mfng almost too familiar.
'l'!i is is the story the mother toll:
Wilbur was born August 8, 1893. IIo was
a s:out, healthy boy till ho was nearly five
months old. Between Christmas aud New
Year's he took the grippe. A physician nt
Iron Station attended him, nnd tie was sup
posed to havo recovered. But tho after ef
fects of tho malady lingered with dlastrous
results. In March, 1891, his parents noticed
that ho could not stand upon his feet, al
though i>efore his taking the grippe he could
do so easily. Jio could not bear the wolght
of his body on Ills feet; his legs were not
growing any nor tho musola In tbolo develop
ing. lie was not treated, however, till in tho
fall, ab >ut the lust of October.* When Mr.
Robinson took his cotton to Llnoolnton, the"
county seat, ho also carried his baby alongj
and a Llnoolnton physician preserlbed for
him, recommending a lotion for rubbing his
limbs. This helped tho child only tem
porarily. Twice afterward this physielan was
consulted. He toid tlx* pnroflts t hat the chil l
might some day boablo to walk and again
ho nil?ht not. They would just havo to let
him "urow along," ns the mother expressed
It, and see what developed. At this period
theghlld's legs appeared to be shrunken. As
his mother s.iys they wero "as soft as oot
ton." Here was a biy fourteen months old,
who not only could noi walk, but could not
bear his wolght on his foot.
lu some1 way?they do not know how ? a
pamphlet found Its way to the Robinson
family. Old Mrs. Bindy fished it out of a
.bureau drawer. It had the picture of two
dogs peeping ovor a fonoe on one oover, rtud
on the other a herd of eows drinking in a
cool stream near n bridge. Both on tho fence
nnd on tho brldxo, on tho respective covers,
was this llnei "Dr. Williams' rink Pills for
Palo People."
"When I read that those pWls would-bulld
up tho bone, I felt that they wore the things
for Wilbur,'* said his mother.
Old Mrs. Bandy sat up nearly all of one
nltrht reading this pamphlet, with all the
testimonials It contained. A few days after
they m?nt to one of the two vlllageetoree and
gotjwo boxes of the pills. This was about
the last of November. 1894. Before he had
finished taking the first box, the littlo fellow
was able to bear his weight on his feet, and
before tho second box was all gone, he could
hold a chair before him and push it across
the floor.
' We began by giving him a third of a pill
at a time, nfterwarl increasing the dose to a
lial/. so they hold out a long time," said his
mother. "We commenced the second box in
January, this year. We had to send to Lin
colnton, eight miles away, to cret tho next
boxes. After taking tho third box, in Mareh,
the ohlld began to ?o a fe . steps at a time,
but be didn't walk by himself till in Septem
ber. The fourth box5 or part of It, was a i
minlstered in August."
The testimony of the mother was that tho
child's appetite and, indeed, hid wholo sys
tem, was ho ped by the use of tho pills.
Mrs. Hand}-, who had been looking over a
sori of II try she keeps, at this point In the
C mversitlon, ' read this entry: "Sept. the
25th. Wilbur boglns to walk alono by him
self."
"After he onco learned to walk." Bald his
mother, "wo oou d hardly keep htm In sight
of the house, nu l he was cured by four
boxes, laeking ten pills. Mother says, aud
always hassaid, the Lord directed somebody
to send us that pamphlet of Dr. Williams."
"Yon really b Ib'vo tho child s oure Is due
to Dr. Williams' PillsV" was asked.
"I am really convinced tho pills cured
h'm," the mother answered. "I naven't the
s!l litest doubt about It."
And tho boy's grandmother ohlmed lni
"I'm Just as sure of it as I am of living. I'll
take an oath on the Bible that that Is what
did It."

This story may seem to tho reader like a
fabrication, but Is told as tho child's mother
toid it to tho reporter. In order to show
thoir appreciation, Mrs. Robinson furnished
the following testimonial and sluned It. (She
says she is willing at any tlmo to make
sworn affidavit to her statements): ' ? - -

rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so .jnany forms of
sickness are not duo to any actual dis

family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt

rcmcily with millions of families, and is
every whoro esteemed so highly by all
who valuo good health. Its beneficial
effects are duo to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
