NB3RO MURDERER HANGED.
Henry Hunter’a Slayer Executed In
the Jail at Daniel*vtlle.
Athkss, Gi., Oct. 17.—Edward Morri
son. the negro who murdered Henry Hunter
of this place, at Carter’s camp, in Madison
county, on Aug. 16. w.s hanged to-day at
Daniels ville. The execution was private.
About 700 people were present, hut only
about twelve witnesses, consisting of the
guards, ministers and physicians, the
MORN Iso News and other reporters were
allowed to attend the execution.
Morrison ate his last breakfast with great
relish this morning about 7 o’clock, and
with his two spiritual advisers spent the
remainder of the morning in praying and
singing. He had been in jail about
two months, during which time he had
gained twenty pounds in fledi. He remained
in good spirits up to the time of ascending
the scaffold and displayed no signs of nerv
ousness. He was given an audience with
the press representatives, but was not dis
posed to talk further than to say that he
had made his peace with God and was going
straight to heaven.
fl Morrison was 5 feet 6 inches high, of st<>ut
uild, very black and weighed 14u pounds
He was IS years old. He came from Mem
phis, l enn., and at the time of shooting
Hunter was in the employ of Mr. Carter, a
contractor on the (Georgia, Carolina and
Northern railroad.
At 12 o’clock Sheriff Scarborough entered
the jail, bringing with him a shroud, black
cap and rope. Morrison received these ar
ticles carelessly, expressing no degree of
unpleasantness. The time tor the execution
having arrived, he donned his white gown,
a black cap was placed on bis head, with
the flap thrown t ack, so he could view the
crowd as lie passed from the jail to the In
closure at the end of the building where the
execution was to take place, and the death
warrant was read and the doomed mau
conducted to the scaffold.
The interest in the execution was so great
that there was considerable talk of tearing
down the wooden wall hiding the scaffold
from view. The guards had their hands
full keeping the crowd back so the sentence
could be executed in private as pronounced.
Morrisou was conducted to the scaffold,
and giving his coffin a side glance as he
ascended the steps, the noose was fixed, and
after prayer by Rev. Mr. King Sheriff
Pearborough sprung the trap, and at 1:19
o’clock the body of Morrison fell heavily to
the end of the rope, his neck breaking in
stantly. He died without a struggle, and
in eleven minutes was cut down.
Morrison committed the crime in August,
was tried and sentenced in September, and
hanged in Oct: her.
AN ILLINOIS MURDERER SWUNG UP.
Morris, 111, Oct. 17.—James Maxwell
was hanged this morning for the murder of
Charles Decker iu June last. Maxwell
was the coolest man about thejjail last night.
tVhen the sheriff showed some evidences
of trepidation at the task before him Max
well said: “Brace up, old roan, you are
much more troubled about this than I am.”
When the sheriff began to read the death
■warrant in a trembling voice Maxwell in
terrupted with, “stop that gab aud let us
get through this thmg as soon as
possible.” His wish was complied with
and he was at once conducted to the
gallows. The sheriff asked him if be had
an;, thing to ?av. His reply was a comolaint
that the sheriff hid put a window in the
shanty in which execution took place, so
that the crowd outside could see him. The
sheriff then cut the cord and the body fell.
In six minutes Maxwell was pronounced
dead. Ju6t before leaving his cell Maxwell
handed the sheriff a big knife, telling him
that he might have killed himself half a
dozen times if he had wanted to.
Maxwell’s crime was unusually brutal.
Ke with a confederate entered the house of
Decker, an aged farmer, to rob the place,
and when Decker discovered them they
brained him with an ax. Entering another
room they severely Injured his wife and
pursued their quest for plunder until they
found the noise had awakened several
others.

Quitman, Ga. , Oct. 17.—Sam Burnett,
a white boy about 16 years old, was bitten
by a rattlesnake last Monday afternoon.

in the camp of the republicans W hen they
nominated Judge Haight to oppose Liv
ingston in his district they sent a commit
tee, headed by a negro politician named
A. Graves to notify him. Haight did not
signify his acceptance to this oommitteo,
but issued an address directly to the voters.
This made Graves mad, and he has pub
lished an article in the negro organ here
declaring that Haight means to ignore the
blacks, and calling upon them not to sup
port him. He winds up by ruling Haight
out as the regular republican nominee.

ATLANTA’S EXPOSITION.
A Good Attendance Yesterday—lm
provement Over Last Year.
Atlanta, Ga. , Oct. 17.—There was a
good attendance at the exposition to-day,
and the show opened in earnest. The facili
ties for getting to tne park are much im
proved since last year. The grounds are in
much better shape and the exhibit* much
larger, while the stables are filled with
horseflesh such as was never gotten together
here before. Trotters and runners from
some of the most noted breeding farms have
been entered fir the races, the beginning of
which was the special feature of to-day.
The races were very exciting, ueck and neck
being the rule. The prettiest race of the
day bunched five runners all around the
track and was won by barely nfore t .an a
head.
To-morrow will he Children’s day, and a
most attractive programme has been ar
ranged. A boy and girl will drive a Roman
chariot race, each holding the reins over
four horses. There will be a balloon race,
and, at night, in lieu of fireworks, “the
feast of lanterns.” This latter simply
me ns a very elaborate picturesque illumin
nation of the grounds.

HALF HIB HEAD SHOT OFF.
Pete Simpson Murdered at Machen
by Tom Benderaon.
Machen, Ga., Oct. 17.—About eight
miles from this place, in Morgan county, a
man named Flemister keeps a grocery.
Tom Henderson dispenses the fiery liquid as
clerk. Yesterday Pete Simpson and a
crowd were drinking there, and from some
slight remark Simpson got very angry with
Henderson and threatened to kill him.
This morning about sun up Simpson went
to the grocery. Wnat passed between him
and Henderson will never be known. The
first intimation that the neighbors had that
there was any difficulty was the report of a
gun. Henderson fired upon Simpson with
a double-barrel shotgun as soon as he entered
the house, one load taking effect iu his
face, literally blowing half of Simpson’s
head off. As ho fell Henderson discharged
the other barrel in his stomach, tearing
most of his stomach away.
Simpson was rather a wild and dangerous
young man.
Henderson made his escape.
The lamentation* of Bimpson’s brother
when he reached the scene of the murder
were heartrending.
THE SENATORIAL RACE.
Wild Speculation In Atlanta-E. P.
Howell Said to be in Training.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 17.—There has been
a good deal of rather wild-sounding polit
ical talk here to-day. The gossips, rushing
from oue extreme to the other, now assert
that Senator Brown has half made up bis
mind to enter the race for the Senate him
self, if it should become neoessary to do so
to keep Livingston from being sent there.
It is also reported all over town
that Col. E. P. Howell is indus
triously grooming for the Senate. One
can hear almost anything, but little
that bears the stamp of reliabilltv. Sena
tor Colquitt was to-day heard to state after
going over his private advices from all
parts of the state ho is confident that Gor
don is going to win. This opinion, coming
from so shrewd a siurce, is very encourag
ing to the general’s friends.
A letter received here to-day states that
Humphreys of Brooks has followed the ex
amine of Calvin and has declined to be gov
erned by post-election instructions.

NORWOOD SPEAKS AT BAXLEY.
Gov. Gordon Sends a Bundle of Circu
lars But Does Not Appear.
Baxley, Ga.. Oct. 17.—Hon. Thomas
M. Norwood addressed a large crowd of
citizens here to-day. Gov. Gordon was not
present as expected. Mr. Norwood’s speech
received the undivided attention of his
hearers, who frequently applauded. Gov.
Gordon forwarded a bundle of circular
letters addressed to the people of Georgia
in and out of the alliance, which were
eagerly sought and read by the crowd. It is
understood that Dr. Job son.repie e itative
elect of the county, would prefer to support
Mr. Norwood for United States senator, but
uuless there should be a reconsideration of
an indorsement of Gov. Gordon by the peo
ple some time ago he cannot with consist
ency do so. Hon. H. A. Bennett, senator
elect for this district, is an avowed supporter
of Gov. Gordon, statiug that to do otherwise
he does not feel that he would be represent
ing the wishes of his constituents.
MRS. GOULD ACQUITTED.
Killed Her Husband in a Drunken
Frenzy—Will Go On the Stage.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 17.—Mrs. Lillian M.
GouM, on trial at Murphy, N. C., charged
with the murder of her husband, has been
acquitted. Gould was an Englishman of
good family, who married beneath his
station, and neglected his wife for years.
For six years Gould had been in America,
while his wife, who was in England on a
beggarly allowance, was ignorant of his
whereabouts. She was permitted to come
to him In Georgia last March, when
the couple went to Murphy, N. C..
whore they lived in a house in an isolated
spot. On July 7 the couple were druuk and
the wife. In a drunken frenzy, stabbed her
husband with a toy dagger, inflicting a
wound from which be died that night. The
wife now purposes to go on the stage.
The Worth County Fair.
Sumner, Ga., Oct. 17.—The fair of
Worth county was held at Poulau Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week, and seemed a
decided improvement over last year. The
exhibits in live stook, field crops and ladies’
handiwork were especially creditable. Be
sides there were various sports on the
grounds, and all that attended the fair re
turned homo well pleased. The fair grounds
have been permanently located at Poulan,
Ga., and some very convenient buildiugs
erected. Greater i tereet is being mani

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1890.
A MODEL FARM.
The Old Tom Jones Homestead Re
stored and Beautified.
Thomasville, Ga.. Oct. 17. With
Judge Hopkins the News correspondent
took a drive over Greenwood, the old Tom
Jones homestead now owned by S. R. Van
Duzer of Newburg-on-the-Hudson. The
present wealthy owner of this princely
(State has a taste for the antique, so be
has restored the tine old mansion and some
of the spacious outhouses, keeping
them as their builder made them. The
splendid flower garden, with rare speci
mens of flowers a id trees, has been put in
perfect trim. Am ng the plants and trees
is a ciroelia tree whicn produces annually a
wagon load of perfect blossoms, a Lady
Bankshire rose vine which has climbed to
the top of an old cedar, thirty feet high,
and literally covers it in season with many
thousands of the little yellow flowers.
Mr. Van Duzer, who is also a great lover of
flowers, and owns a $75,030 conservatory
at his summer home, says he would not for
one moment entertain tne thought of tak
ing SI,OOO for this rose bush aloue. When
in fnll bloom it presents a rarely beautiful
sight.
There are fine old ornamental cedars
planted more than a generation ago, and
well cared for through all these years, a
perfect specimen of the magnolia tree, te
si lee many other trees and surubs, common
to this flowery climate.
Mr. Van Duzer is also opening up a farm
on a very extensive scale. He pays his
superintendent. Judge H. W. Hopkins,
{2,500 for a general supervision. He has
two overseers at good salaries, and a large
force of laborers. Judge Hopkins has had
an improved stump-puller at work, which
yanks an old lightwood stump from it 6
place with the same ease a prac
ticed dentist would pull an
offending tooth. The trees from many of
these stumps were cut before the war, and
how long they would remain firm and
serene in their bed of clay, no one can tell.
But they are all out now, thousands and
thousands of them, and they lie scattered
everywhere like old snags drawn from the
jaws of giant monsters. Several hundred
acres have been thus freed from stumps and
planted in cow peas this season.
The most improved machinery of every
kind as well as finest stock, is being used,
double plows, harrows, as well as every
thing else needed for doing the best work
in the most approved style. The only aim
this year is to put the ground in first-class
condition. Next year cotton and other
regular crops will be planted.
Among other improvements, there is a
lofty and powerful windmill, that supplies
a great abundance of pure water. The
same power also runs feed cutters, corn
buskers aud snellers, feed grinders and mix
ers and a wood saw.
Notwithstanding Mr. Van Duzer owns
this vast estate, with a fine old brick house,
now in perfect order, he prefers to live,
when south, in a palatial modern structure
built as near to the center of Thomasville
as he could get it, for the lot alone, less
than an acre, he having paid SIO,OOO. How
true it is that the most enthusiastic lovers
of country life dwell in cities! It should
be added that the Greenwood farm is only
the pet of a very rich man, who tends it
and enjoys it, very much as a great lady
would her flower gardens.

A New Sleeping Car.
From the Boston Post.
The latest invention in railroad cars, the
Harris Palatial Car Company’s “Jeanette,”
left Springfield yesterday afternoon for
Boston. The distinctive feature of the new
car, and it has many new features, is its
combination of parlor and sleeping car ar
rangements, which provides for its running
in the day time as a drawing room car and
in the night timo ae the most comfortable
and safe sleeping car yet devised. One won
ders on entering in the day time the roomy
and elegant drawing room car where the
berths can be, as there is absolutely noth
ing in the interior which gives a
clew as to where they are kept. They are,
in fact, bolow the floor, and in order to al
low of their storage the sides of the eardrop
just fourteen inenes between the trucks.
These pockets, as those spaces are called,
are always in use, for, as soon as the berths
have been raised and put in position, the
chairs (for the car is provided with mova
ble ones) and baggage immediately take
their places.
But the ono feature of the car In which
railroad men are most interested in is the
raising and lowering of the berths. The
process is briefly as follows: A section of
the floor six feet long is raised lip, one end
resting on hinges, thus forming a partition
between two sections. From underneath
this door another door is raised up endwise
in the opposite direction, formiug a parti
tion next to the section at the other end.
Then a steel crank pin is inserted into a
brass socket in the berth just under the
lower door, which socket is attached, by a
most marvelous and ingenious combination
of worm and gearing apparatus, to rads
whose ends contain keys aud cogged wheels,
at the end of the berths. A crank is then
placed upon the pin aud revolved.
With each fraction of a revolution both
berths move at both ends evenly, equally
and correspondingly, for each turn of the
crank turns the rod which turns the w heels
on their tracks, which have teeth corres
sponding to the cogs on the wneels. This
regular aud uniform rise is preserved by
the key at the end of the rod fitting into a
grooved slot which holds the berth in place
and prevents the movement in any but the
upward or downward direction by even the
smallest part of an inch. Both of the berths
are supplied with spring beds and mat
tresses—in fact, all of the bed clothing is
here nt hand. As liefore stated, in the
space under the lower berth are stowed the
two chairs of the section. A guard door
conceals this open space.
The Most Common Misquotation.
From the Utica iJbscrver.
“What is the most common misquotation
in the English language?” asked the inquisit
ive member of the Cogourn Club this morn
ing as the purist entered. Toe answer came
promptly:
"When Greek meets Greek, then comes
the t ig of war.”
“Well, what is the matter with that?”
asked the inquisitive member.
“That is the most common misquotation
iu the English language,” responded the
purist “I heard the lato Rose oe Conkii g
say once that he won a basket of wine
from C.emeat L. Vallandignatn ou tha
quotation. He wagered that Mr. Vallandig
ham could not ted what the correct words
were, nor who wrote them, nor when they
wore written. Aud he won on every point.
Now put yourselves in Mr. Vallandigham’s
place. What would you have done?”
“I should huve declined to make the bet,”
said the inquisitive member.
“And I,” “and I,” came from all parts of
the room.
“But. I should not,” said the purist.
“ ‘When Greek joined Greeks, than was the
tug of war,’ is the correct qu itatinn. It

SIMPLE RUFFLED GROUSE.;
They Stand and Listen to a Man Whist
ling “Annie Rooney."
From Forest and Stream.
There is probaoly not in North America
a bird that has made a deeper impression on
the minds of sportsmen than the ruffled
grouse. This is due in part to bis great
beauty, his wisdom, the difficulty of obtain
ing him and his intrinsic worth, a9 well
likewise as to the wild and attractive
scenery of his home. The bird does not rely
for safety entirely upon his phenomenal
flight or his flashlike movements on the
ground, or the awful roar, the intensity of
wbicn he can gauge at pleasure to l e ilder
his pursuer. The e alone would not suffice
to accomplish that purpose, and the bird
would ere long b?corae exterminated. He
has many other ways and devices, some of
which exhibit an intelligence equal to that
of man m a state of nature, ai.d far excel
by native wit in the science of woodcraft
the highest efforts of the ordinary civilized
human b 'ing.
Among many other characteristics there
are two in his disposition which I have
often observed, bis curious inquisitiveness
and his love of music. These seem to fasten
him to a place and rivet bis attention.
One day while strolling through the
woods a ruffled grouse rose up from the
leaves where be had lain among the witch
hazels, and running swiftly across my path
and down a little hillside, secreted himself
behind a tree but a short distance away. I
stood motionless. In a little while his head
appeared. Alcer looking long aud anx
iously he finally walked out. and keeping
his eyes fixed on me walked off into c.-ver.
On the other occasion I was lunching in
the woods in company with a friend. We
had been there about an hour when I dis
covered a grouse on a large hemlock about
forty yards off. It was standing four or
five feet from the body of the tree. We
purposely engaged in more talking, laugh
ing aud hilarity to observe the effect. It
was interesting to see it turn its he id to get
a better view and hear more distinctly.
Oncj I was walking carelessly along in
the woods whistling a lively tune; on look
ing ahead I was surprised to see a grouse on
a limb ten feet from t e body of a tree aud
about fifteen feet from the ground, and
hardly twenty yards away. I stopped
walking, but continued to whistle for sev
eral minutes, the bird remaining to hear,
when becoming alarmed at the barking of
my dog it spread its wings and sailed awav.
On another occasion I stopped in a grove
of chestnut trees to pick a few nuts, and
afterward sat down near bv and began to
siug to relieve the monotony. I soon
found I had an audience, from sundry
movements in the dry leaves. After look
ing sharply I saw a grouse standing among
some dead branches. His neck, head and
body were stretched up, giving the appear
ance of a dark-colored stick about a foot
and a half in length. I continued singing
for some time, the bird continuing lookiug
at me. Finally I moved toward him,
when he flew, and others also, which I had
not seen, to the number of seven or eight.
I think 1 could have kept that bird there
for several hours had I wished to do so.
VORACIOUS BIRDS.
Two Gluttonous Little Robins Get In
Trouble Over a Snake.
FVom the Boston Traveller.
A friend who loves to note the ways of
birds tells a robin anecdote which might
find a place among the humors of Arcadia
Over|a nest of two fledglings, which be bad
for some days been watching, he noticed
the mother robin fluttering about and
scolding in unusual agitation, and climbing
to discover the reason he found the two
young ones nearly chocked in an effort to
swallow the opposite ends of a snake.
The snake whs a little brown one, that
would have made a light lunch for a secre
tary bird, but of course, was entirely over
sized for the capabilities of the hal f-fcat ti
ered robin. If the mother bird had even
heard about thereptida of the antipodesfbe
must, have captured that snake under the
impression that it was an Australian angle
worm. Or, perhaps,tired of continual small
foragings, she had determined to procure
her family a day’s supply at one swoop and
give herself a reat. The resvlt alarmed her
when she found her chicks were in fair way
to kill themselves deglutiuating their din
ner.
The first, impulse was to relieve the strug
gling nestlings, but on close inspection he
satisfied himself that their predicament was
more droll-than dangerons. The snake had
evidently lost hll interest in the proceedings,
but the little birds bad not. First one
would give a mighty f,uip and then the
other, each time putting out of sight a small
section of serpent, and the watcher con
cluded that if left alone thov would moot
half way by and by and settle their disputed
meals themselves. At any rate, curiosity
got the better of any desire to help them.
For a full hour he looked on to sen the reso
lute little gluttons pull themselves outside
of the snake, the old robin returning every
few minutes to offer some excited remarks,
and then he was called away.
After two hours he got back to the tree,
and found one of the youDg ones dozing
tranquilly over his finished dinner, and the
ether holding about an inch of detached
snake and still swallowing. The two had
compromised matters somehow, but whether
the last swallower or the flr.-t got the bigger
share in the division, he could not tell, for
examination of the severed reptile indicated
that the missing end had been digested oft'.
The amazing peptic power in a young bird,
enabling it to disu -se of several times its
own weight of food in a day, is well enough
known, but the idea of digesting one end , f
a single meal five time* af long as the eater’s
body was so ludicrous that the “Listener”
ventured to guess that the old bird herself
had finally pecked the snake in two. The
friend, however, insisted on his view of the
case. Instead of biting off more than they
could chew these red-breast b bes had
actually chewed more than they could bite
off.
It should be stated that the remaining
inch of the snake was successfully 6towed
away at last and assimilated into juvenile
robin, neither of the little birds beiug at all
the worse for its huge repast.
MEDIOAU,
SCROFULA
Is that Impurity of the blood which produces
unsightly lumps or swellings In the neck;
which causes running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which develops ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or “humors;” which, fasten
ing upon the lungs, causes consumption and
death. It is the most ancient of ull diseases,
and very few persons are entirely free from it.
"“CURED
By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. If you suffer from
scrofula, try Hood's Sarsaparilla.
“ Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, my little boy,
three years old, being a terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass of sores from
head to feet. We all took Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and all have been cured of the scrofula. My
little boy is entirely free from sores, and ail
four of my children look bright and healthy.”
