THE HANGING I.AKT F1UDAY.
Tho Hlnjrer of Noah IIa mag? H?ffen?
Death.
Judd Darksdalo's sentence has boen
commuted, Perry Gray has been res
pited, and Walkor Brown has paid the
penalty.
Brown was hbnged Friday morning
1* the stable at the Jail.
Thursday evening ho wa? received
into the A. M. K. Church and on tho
morning of the execution, Uov. II. K.
Lnwis administerod tho saoramont to
blm. He expressed himscit as porfoctly
resigned to his tato and confident of
salvation. A few minutes boforo going
to the gallows he declared bis inuoconce
or murder to a roporter and said that if
he shot Ramage at all, it was an acci
dent." '
It will be remembered that tho killing
ooourred as a party of colored people
were returning, at 2 o'clook in tho
morning, from a fostival hold in tho
Holly Grove neighborhood one night last
Noyember. The crowd had been play
ing cards and Ramage had playod in
big luok. It was suggostod that a halt
be oallod aud the gamo finished. Ram
age|doclinod and Brown forthwith drew
his pistol and shot him down. Kamago
died in about two wooks. Tho ovldonco
was overwhelming and tho jury
without hesitation found a verdict or
guilty or murder.
The hanging was u quiot busiuoss
like affair. Tho one hundred and fifty
negroes on the street outsido ibo jail
observed good order, and ovorythmg
was in keeping with tbo calm of tho
April day itself. Tho presence of tho
I.aureus Guards, who were doployod
in squads insido tho jail yard and on
streets surrounding, no doubt contrib
uted to this admirable state of things.
Tho prisonor showod absolutely no
fear or omotion. Replying to a question
by the sheriff at tho gallows ho remark
ed that he had nothing to say. Ho as
cend od to tho platform without assist
ance and in less than ton in i nut cm from
the time of leaving tho jail, his hands
were pinioned and the cap adjustod.
At 11.05 a. m. the trap was sprung.
Death was to all appearances painless
and in 16 minutes tho physicians pro
nounced lifo extinct. After boing sus
pended 14 minutes longor, tho body was
out down, placed in its coffin, and
turned ovor to relatives.
The execution was witnossod by about
twenty persons. Tho hanging of a man
is not a pleasantovont under any cir
cumstances. In this instance tho duty
was dono in a manner by which tho re
volting features woro romovod to tho
furthest possible extent. Tho ofllcors
upon whom the law Imposes tho execu
tion of tho sontonco porformed their task
with that efficiency which in ovory
case Should take away all sensational
and dograding accompatumonts.
Tho Greenwood Linnd Sale.
To-morrow, April 22nd tho Greenwood
Roal Estate Company will hold their

This company composed of loading bus
iness men of Greonwood, Laurons and
Spartanburg, has dovolopod "Fairvlow

tho best residence portion of tho city
and just Northwest of tho busiuoss con
tor.
Greenwood is not one of those phantom
??cities" consisting of maps and pro*
postu8os. It certainly has a groat fu
ture but faith in Ks coming importanco
rests upon tho facts which aro there to
show what it has already dono and is
now doing. Threo railroad trunk linos
intersecting, with tho oarly prospoct of
two moro, cotton mills, oil mills, cotton
compress, good educational facilities,
hoalthfulness, a national R. ?fc L. Associ
ation, and a community whoso public
spirit and ontorpriso aro provorbial In
S. C, are among tho considerations lead
ing to tho belief that her roal ostato is
bound to inororeaso in valuo rapidly.
The land salo in Greenwood should ox

men should be on tho spot and examine

rate the opportunity to spend a day in a
beautiful town and possibly to catch
something of the enthusiasm of ono of
the most pushing placos in tho Souih is
one whioh should bo grasped by ovory

PERRY GRAY RESPITED.
Four Wceku l.caM- of Lifo to
the Luureus Murderer.
Perry Qrayf the Laurent* negro,
who killed John Fuller in Feb
ruary and was sentenced to bo
hung last Friday was respited
Tuesday until the 15th of May.
The reason for the respite is to al
low timo for tho examination of
the petition asking a commutation
of Gray's sentence to lifo imprison
ment in tho penitentiary. Tho cir
cumstances of tho killing have al
ready been detailed in theso col
umns.
One of tho petitions alleges that
there had been no quarrel between
(he two men, that no malico was
provod at the trial and that Gray
staled ho did not intend to hit any
one, trying only to shoot above
their heads. A petition from per
sons in Laurens assigns tho fol ow
ing grounds for commutation:
1. He was in his own house, and
they think believed ho wnsdefond
its ponce and order when ho com
mitted tho net.
2. He is a very young man, just
past, according to tho evidence, his
seventeenth year.
3. As they aro advised, ho is very
poor, and had no counsel until tho
last moment, and by reason of his
poverty was utterly friendless.
Tho Governor has sent tho pa
pers in the case to Solicitor Schum
pert for his recomendution, after
which thoy will bo sent to Judge

wo not ask Governor Tillman to

County Treasurers except Abbe- i
v'lle, ever accounted for the bills \
of tho bank of tho State, which
were tendered by tho C. & Q. rail
rondand other taxpayers for taxes
several years ago. Did the Treas
urers of Oconee, Anderson, Green
ville, Laurens and Newborry ever
make formal settlement for such
bills?if such bills were over ten
dered to them, or either of them ?
We of course know nothing of this
matter, but we asked tho preced

about this very matter.
