There. Is no hope that you will -ever see freedom again. Your days are nunilH'iodso far as the law 1h concerned as a free, living human being for the ha lance of your life, Which. according to the tables of ox IH'ctaiicy,* is some twenty-live or thirty years; you shall labor with the stripes <ai for the state, without compensa tion, day in and day out, week In and week out, from year to year, you shall work, work without the consolation of * having your family with you', within the walls of the stutc penitentiary, or on the chain gang, with chains around your legs wnd with stripes on. which Is a disgrace.

You *enl him to his Mod with out giving him a chance to utter a prayer to ask bis Creator t ? > forgive li I in for Ids sins. That Is the picture on that side, lie has left Ids family - ? lie Is gone? Ids wife Is a widow ? his children are orphaned ? 1 you made them so. "You will have the connotation of knowing, while you are serving these years, that your enemy, for he was your enemy, Is dead, and Ids laxly Is being eaten by the worms'; but thprc ought to ho a consolation to you of a higher order, ami that Is tlmt by your servitude of this sentence, that by the example you may load some other man in the right : may cuiiyc some other man to stay his hand, and not make Widows and orphans, and by your example keep others out of trou lde ami out- of the penitentiary.

The people of the state, and the jurle*, are well acquaint* cil with the fart that llu- only way to put down crime lx to punish crime when It Is proved beyond a reasonable douht. All of the people who, carry pistols had better take warning, and I said to the grand Jury, when a man deliberately puts a pistol In h Ik (locket he has at aome time or other thought of killing a man, and, If you would examine your- hear!, deep down, you will llml the thouifht that when you bought that pistol that you would (ht liii|>s shoot some one to protect your self; that Is a good excuse to protect yotirself and family, hut I do not know that anything that i could say to you would do you any good. I feel sorry for you. 1 saw your wife and chil dren,! who hapiHunal to lie In hearing distance when they found out your fate last night, and It was heartrend ing to hear their sorrowing, their walls and their tears. It appealed to me as a man, hut as a Judge of the law I cannot allow their suffering to stand between me and what I con ceive to he iny duty as a Judge. Un fortunately, yes, unfortunately, there has never been a guilty man punish ed without some innocent one suffer ing. There are your seven children, thrown u|miu the cold olmrlty of the world, and your wife, Whom you had sworn to protect and defend; here you are In this predicament, with the chil dren and widow and mother with no one to work for them ? only the mother left to provide for the children the balance of her days with this great sorrow on her heart? and you did It. "1 wish It were so that the guilty could he punished without indicting, punishment, and sorrow and grief upon others, but II cannot be done. 1 do not know tiutt there is anything more that I can say that will do yotr-nny good : but what I am saying may teach some other fellow a lesson arid (keep some other man. some -other good citi zen. out of the penitentiary and keep some other man out of the grave, and it may keep other women and chil dren from being made widows and or phans. I hope It will." KKNATOK SMITH AT RALKIGH. Junior Senator Made liig Hit at N'ortli Carolina's Capital. ? * V Tlu* following editorial in from (he Ualclgh News and Observer of Wed iiesday : "Punctuating with applause the ad dress of Senator Ellison I).

The theme n|K)n which he s|H)ke was "The' Farmer," and with the Illustrations which il lustrated, lie showed the dependence of the South npon the cotton farmer and proclaimed with the certainty of conviction that "Cotton still in- king," even if he has a powerful lot of sorry subjects. "The lesson from Senator Smith's remarks was that the fortunes of the South are hound up In cotton and that the cotton farmer deserved the fullest c?io|NM*atlon ?>f the inniple^ that he -houhl he cared for In Interest rates and In business dealings just as the ;n:in in the other enterprises of life.
