Georgetown, Aug. 2.—Tomorrow, between and 11 o’clock William Gibbs was to have died on the gal lows for the killing of Ned Ander son on the second d^y of April last. But there will be no hanging here tomorrow, for a telegram was re ceived from Governor Heyward by Sheriff Scurrv todav stating that the sentence of Gibbs had been commut ed to Imprisonment for life in the State penitentiary. A strong recommendation to this effect had been sent to the governor from this county. It was shown that the roan killed by Gibbs was a no torious and despeftbe character, a bujly. and that the deed was commit ted in self-defense. Judge R. C. Watts, who tried the case at the last term of court here, entered into the recommendation for a change of sentence to life imprisoment. The '•'ry in bringing in the verdict failed to recommend the prisoner to mercy and the extreme sentence was ac cordingly pronounced. It is the gen eral feeling here that the n’gro was entitled to the lighter sentence of life imprisonment and satisfaction Is felt at the governor’s action at the moment. Gibbs had resigned himself com- nletely to his fate, and was continu ally praying and holding services in the Jail. He has conducted himself well during his confinement. The news of the cummutation of sentence was received with slight evidence of joy due. partly to its entire unex pectedness. perhaps. The negroes in town are delighted.

While the damp, cold, changing weather of <? Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable i symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a ^ winter disease exclusively.

This acid causes fermentation of the blood, niahuTg it sour and unfit for properly nourishing the uody, and as this vital stream goes to every nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib- U1 uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens from lack of rich, pure, blood, the skin becomes fe- - verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are y affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased t - condition of the entire system is the resuU. Not only is Rheumatism the most p.iirfful of T all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, ikrobb./g h muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable and dangerous trouble.
