His Conduct Was Considered Onery
Mean.-
From th» K*w York Sun.
There was to be a hanging in a
South Carolina town, and die people
had come from far and near 10 witness
itr An hour belore the time set for
the execution the crowd numbered
fully t,500. Half an hour later word
was given out that the condemned
had been reprieved, and that there
would be no hanging. A very few
expressed their satisfaction that the
governor had interfered, but the
majority were greatly disappointed
One man, after considerable loud
talk, pushed his way through the
crowd to the jail and called 10 the
sheriff, who stood on the steps:
“You,.thar\ Jim Reeves .’”
“What is it
"Hain’t Jim Renfoe gwine to be
hung?’ I
“No.”
“Is that squar ?”
“Yes.”
“Did Jim hev anything to do with
it?”
‘.‘Well, he didn’t want to be lutng.
and he encouraged his lawyers to do
their best.”
“He knowed that’ was a big crowd
ycre?”
"Yes.”
"He knowed what we come fur?”
"Yes.”
“Look ycre, Jim : I've driv fo’teen
miles to sec this ycre, and I've got
the ole woman and the three children
yere, and my five niggers hev gat a
holiday, and who's gwine ter pay the
damages ?”
“Thar’ ain’t no damages.”
“Thar’ hain’t. ch ! Don’t you twitter
that thar’ hain’t ! Somebody has gut
to make up to me fur this. I’ll sue
the whole parcel ol ye, from governor
down, and if I can’t git satisfaction
then Jim Renfoe had better look out
fur me! A man as will go and pizen
his grandmother and git all ready to
be hung and then kick agin it and
leave a big crow’d in the lurch is too
onery fur this section, and I’m gwine
to camp on his trail! Tell Jim he’d
better grow wings afore he comes out
O’ that, and they want to be wings big
enough to carry him off at the rate of
a mile a ifiinute.”
In “Ye” Olden Time.
Louisville News and Farmer: In
1795 a constitutional convention met
in Louisville. The session lasted
three weeks, and by this convention
it was provided that Louisville should
be the scat of government. The first
legislature met here in 1795 and elect
ed Jared Irwin governor. The other
governors serving at Louisville were
James Jackson, Josiah Tatnall, Jr.
John Millcdge; Mtlledge and Irwin
each serving two terms. Not till 1825
was a governor elected by the people
Governor Troup served his second
term, being the first elected by a pop
ular vote. The first legislative as
sembly met in Savannah in 1775.
Soon after Governor Reynolds, at a
beautiful situation on the Ogeechee
river, about 12 miles from Savannah,
laid off a town which he called Hard-
wteke. Here he was in favor of locat
ing the Capitol of Georgia. The cap-
itol, however, was removed from Sa
vannah to Augusta. During the revo
lutionary war, to avoid the British,
Heard’s Fort, now Washington, Wilkes
county, was made the temporary seat
of the government. The war over, it
was moved back to Augusta; thence
to Louisville, Milledgevtlle and Atlan
ta. Louisville was not, as some say,
the first capitol ol Georgia as a state.
Georgia entered into the compact as
one of the “Original Thirteen” in
1879; Washington was qualified as
President April 30th of this year.
Louisville became the capitol seven
years later. I have been reliably in
formed that the armory stood on the
ground now occupied by the stores of
Messrs. Gamble and A. N. Reach &
Bro. The I-ouisville Academy was
incorporated February 22, 1796.
The first board of trustees were Rev.
David Bothwell, John Shellman,
James Merriwether, John Cobbs and
Josiah Sterrett. Only five academies
had at that time been incorporated
in the |tate; Savannah, Augusta,
Suobury and one each in Rurkc and
Wilkes counties.
“The next thing to success,” once
wrote Disraeli, "is to make a great
noise in the world.” Rut it isn’t every
man who blow s a base drum who
"gets there” The noiseless fellows
