I Allen's Conviction. s) vi Again a Virginia jury has vindicated Virginia. Again it is a jury al composed chiefly of Virginia farmers, V the real conservative power ar.i pre- 13 serving strength of our commonwealth. Men of the same stock and hi breed that has asserted and maintain- n( ed the right of the people to govern P' themselves and the rights of the States to conduct their own affairs, f< have declared that the law must be el supreme and that lawlessness, riot V( and anarchy shall be met with strong, tl stern front and repressed and punish- tl ed relentlessly. A Wythe county jury P has adjudged Floyd Allen guilty cf f< murder in the first degree for his P part in the slaughter of the judge and officers of Carroll county court u a little more than two months aim. t< He will pay the final penalty of his a act by death in the* electric chair. ^ Even if the appeal probably to be c' taken should be successful and a new K trial should be ordered?a result most Zl unlikely because the wise and able sl presiding judge gave the defendant r the benefit of every doubtful point? b his fate yet would be sealed. Unless nature intervenes with a death stroke d or he can find some means to end his own life, Floyd Allen will go to n the electric chair. He ought to go. According with the old law of human contrariness, an astonishing sympathy for him and his Q associate criminals has been developed and expressed. It is the old story, Some people forget the deed, sud- ^ denly, untimely and unjustly slain, q. and the widows and orphans, the tears ^ and the desolation caused by their deaths. Others allow political par- ^ tizan feeling to sway their judgments. Yet others, anarchists at heartj hating all law and order, government and restraint .unmindful of the fact ^ that they and theirs in time of gen- ^ eral license to destroy would be the v chief sufferers, would have this killer of judges and authorities go free or t] given light sentence. The evidence was conclusive. It Q showed cold-blooded, premeditated, ^ deliberate murder and purpose to destroy the law and by bloodshed to ^ prevent its enforcement. There were ^ men all of one family, all under the g game influence, all assembled at the same place, all armed with deadly weapons and all at the same instant sending volleys of bullets into the Q bodies of the conservators of the law and the representatives of the peace c and dignity of the commonwealth of g Virginia. tj We congratulate Virginia; we con- n gratulate the county of Wythe on the r) jury of her men who stood for the S] State against the murderous and vio- S] lent spirit that would defy the State b and trample her laws and destroy her ci officers. We congratulate the good and quiet and law-abiding people who f< are the vast majority in Carroll coun- si ty that a stain has been wiped off o their long and honorable history by E this verdict, brought by the courage e and manhood of Carroll men who y, went to Wytheville to give their w evidence. Giving the Aliens credit for cour- h age and fortitude and manhood, the J fact that they undertook to make law b for themselves regardless of the law e made for and obeyed by their fellow Ci citizens must be remembered. It t1 must be remembered, too, th^t they t< set themselves to defy the common- a wealth, which is the people, that in cl doing so they put to death cruelly the chosen representatives and offi- ti cers of State and people. Therefore tl they must suffer penalties; therefore g some of them must die, not for vengeance, but for vindication of the law is and the State that makes the law and H is charged with the execution of it. The punishment is taerrible. It ought a to be so. These people are ruined t< and scattered, the very bowers of their flock in jail awaiting felon's h deaths or stripes, their property gone, w Days se yon ^) 9a led to continue ill This will be a vi r a lew days left 1 he Secoi t and bring td we will oi a $1.00 iame hanging over them.

Jonesville News Letter. Jonesville, May 20th. The twentieth f May is a dt.y that has a histry in ly life. I will never forget as it was n that day, 1864, that I was in a erce, deadly battle in the late war. 'he battle only lasted a few hours, ut the regiment lost 132 men, killed nd wounded. It was the battle ef flag's farm near Petersburg, Va. The echo of the Macon reunion still omes back with the sad story that he people of Macon lost several hunred thousand dollars preparing for he entertainment of the veterans and isitors and that the crowd didn't ome up to their expectations. Well, he fact is the people of Macon preared to skin the veterans and visitrs but they got skinned themselves, hey were like poor old Haman we ead of in the Old Testament scripures, who made a gallows to hang lordicai on but was hung on it himelf. Governor Blease had an appointnent to speak here last Saturday vening, but on account of the illness f his wife he did not get here. J. C. Otts and I. C. Blackwood, andidates for solicitor and our own lob Hamilton, who stands for re-elecion in the House, were here and lade speeches. There was a good espectable crowd and they gave the peakers an attentive hearing. Mesrs. Brown and Horn furnished a good arbecue dinner, which kept the rowd in a good humor. The trustees have elected teachers sr our graded school for the next rhool term. All of the present board f teachers were re-elected but Miss tell Free, who did not stand for relection. and Miss Jimmie Hartley, 'ho taught in the school last year, 'as elected to succeed Miss Free. Mr. P. P. Williams, who went with is family to Phoenix, Arizona, last anuary for his health, has come ack to Texas, where he has a brothr living, and later on he expects to ome back to Jonesville. For about wo months after Mr. Williams went > Arizona, his health improved, but fter that he grew worse and he conludcd to leave that country. Farmers are getting along with heir planting _ very well.- Most of le cotton crop has been planted and ood stands are being obtained.

Wilkinsville, May 16.?The farmers of this section are rained out so badly that they won't make much headwav with their work, thouirh thov have done remarkably well so far. Aj good deal of cotton has been choppe&j out there is a great deat' at oaJj I lands are to be planted yet, and much of it to be broken the first time. Last night we had a heavy rainfall which did considerable damage in washing the lands. The low lands have been flooded several times and much damage done to the hay crop where it is not altogether destroyed. A good deal of corn on uplands is up and large enough to be worked, while much of it remains yet to be planted. Its a gloomy time generally with the farmers, but they are the hardest class of men in the world to discourage so. or to give up entirely? they just won't do it. Twenty-four years ago Mr. John Henry Gallman planted his bottom at the mouth of Pacolet on Broad river the last of July or first of August. witn an eariy corn ana it made pretty (rood horse feed, and would have matured had the frost stayed off a month longer. \t that time (1888) frost came the 30th morning of September. Mr. T. Jeff Hughes is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Orrie Estes. He says he is going to "rest up" a while but we don't suppose he means it seriously. When he stops going it will be because he can't go. He is now advanced in years, but he is lively and cheerful as he has always been. We think sometime in the near future we will give the Times readers asother chapter of his "reminescenses" which to us are very interesting. We have a lot of them that have already been published in this paper, but a new chapter will be generally appreciated by those who know him. He never forgets anything. He enjoys company, and especially ladies, but being somewhat deaf he can't talk to them for fear he might say "yea" sometime when he ought to say "no." Today Mr. and Mrs. John A. M. Estes are celebrating the 45th anniversary of their wedding day. Mr. Estes has just returned from the Confederate reunion at Macon, Ga., and gives us an account of it. He enjoyed it finely.

The Yorkville Enquirer has found Something new under the sun in the person of a parent thanking a teacher for whipping his boy and making him behave and obey her rules.
