This reminds us that we heard tv o gentlemen, both successful growers ci flowers, or rather their better halves are, bragging on their fine specimens of that popu’ar flower, the chrysanthe mum, a diy or two since. Why could we not get up sueba show as outlined in oar Albany contemporary, in Thom- asvilk? It could be made a very' interesting exhibit. Who will move in the matter? examined the wound. Said that he| General Presentments of the flenry Spencer and the crime that he committed areboth known to almost eveiy citizen oi - the county. We doubt if there is a single one who has not at least heard of him or his crime. Oil the 28th day of last June Silen cer shot Mose Green, an old negro, his brother In-law, with a Winchester rifle. .Abont eleven days afterwards the old man died from the effects of the wound. After the shooting Bpen cerdid not leave the country, but, wrmed with his trusty Winchester (he is an expert shot) remained in' the woods of the neighborhood, in which the killing occurred and openly defied arrest. Numerous attempts were made to arrest him. On one occasion Sheriff Doss and posse surrounded him in a house. The night was dark and rainy. When the officer called upon Spencer to cwne out or he would be killed, be replied with a volley from hia rifle, poured through a window. The officers returned the fire. Spencer put the lights out in the house, and while the poise was deciding ifpon the next plan of attack, he pulled a board up from the floor, slipped through the hole and made his escape iu the dark ness. From that time on he became the terror of the neighborhood. It ia said that many peop'e were afraid to go out of their house after dark. A few weeks later Mr. Jim Jones, who was out hunting for the outlaw with Mr J. A. Hurst, was shot with a shotgun but not seriously injured. It is the impreesion of many that Spencer shot him from ambush, but there is no evidence that such was the case. Spencer was subsequently ar* rested by the strategy of Sheriff Does, who employed some of the negro’s friends to get him drunk and bring him in. Such in brief is the history a portion of Spencer’s career. The case wss called the first thing yesterday moraing. Messrs. Titus and Hammond, two of our brightest young lawyers, were appointed to.de- feud the prisoner. Solicitor Peeples was alone in the prosecution. A jury was secured in a reasonably short time, and the trial proceeded without delay. The first witness introduced was Dr. Baston, of Ochlockonee. He swore that Moee Green came to his office for treatment, but could not remember the exact time. He was in bad condition ; his wound consider ably inflamed and very offensive- He did not examine the wound closely or treat it, as the negro had no money. It was abad looking tjound and wai taking on fever. The negro was complaining of pains.in the head. The wound was cut acroes forehead an inch. The bullet struck a glancing lick.' The effects of the wound caused death, in Lis opiuion, though it was not a mortal wound when inflicted. Mr. Titos examined IBe Doctor at length on the construction of the human headland the effect of various wounds and their symptoms. Maria Johnson, who was the wife of Moee Green when he was killed, next testified. She said that Spencer came to the road in front of their house and calling Moss out asked him for “that dime you owe me.” Mose told him he did not owe him a dime. Spencer then shot him and came to the door where Mose fell and took a pistol from his ' pocket Mose laid there some time. Was picked up and put to bed. Stayed in house three days before he was able to move. Complained of “misery 1 his head. Was shot on Wednesday and went to the doctor the following Saturday week. He died the next day, Sunday. Mr. P. P. Dixon swore that he saw Mose Green several times before he died and after he was shot First saw him on the 28th of Jane,saw him again the next day and saif him on Satur day before he died. He was in a bad condition, was very nervous and com plained of great pain in the head. He also saw him after he was dead. Sarah Green swore that she saw Spencer shoot Moee Green. Green lived some days afterwards. He lay down most of- the time and walked about bat little. Moee had a pistol in his pocket Manaey Green swore that Mose was her lather; that he irnow dead, and * that Henry Spencer shot him. She saw him shoot 8be saw her father with a pistol a few days before, bnt never heard him say anything abont inserted a straw into the hole in Green’s head to the depth of an inch an inch and a half. With this evidence the state closed. The attorneys for the defense, after a long consultation with their client, decided to introduce no testimony, but to nlluw the piisouer to make a statement. Spencer took the staud and stated that he went to the front of Green’s house and asked -one of tlio women who was on the porch to tell Mose to send hiifl the dollar and a half which he owed him. About that time Mose came to the door and putting his hand in his pocket pulled out-a pistol and raised it aB if to shoot him. He then raised his tills and shot Mose. When ho heard Mose fall he went into ? the house and took the pistol from the wounded man’s hand. Showing it to the woman in (be house he told them that hp intended "to keep it to show the court that he shot Green in self defense. This closed the evidence in the case and the argument begun. Mr.-Peeples made a short but tell ing speech for the prosecution. He was followed by Mr. Titus for the de fense, who talked at considerable length. Mr. Titus \mado a strong plea for his cheat. He took the ground that the wound inflicted on Green by Spencer ijras not necessarily a fatal one; that his death was caused by neglect aud lack of proper medical attention. In c’osmg ho made an elo quent appeal for mercy at the hands of the jury. The jury was out about three quar to » ot an. hour, during which time there was c msiderab’e speculation as to what the verdict would be. All though; the negro was guilty, but th..* g neral impression was that the jury would recommend him to mercy. Daring this time Spenoer, who know that ei her. death oriife time imprison tni-n ? would be his fate, with the chances strongly in favor of the form er, sat perfectly still, but bore a down- cast, disheartened' look. He dit- played very little nervousness, bnt it was apparent to all that he was labor ing under great excitement. When finally the jury flled iuto thecouit room, there was a decided cessation in the bum of conversation, and as the verdict: *• We, the jury, find the’ prisoner gui-ty,” was read oat, a deith like stillness prevailed over tbe court loom Sheriff Doss was seated near the prisoner,"and when the verdict was announced he bad his hand on Spencer’s shoulder. Spencer never moved a muscle. He did not seem to realizi what it meant. He never ut tered a word. The sheriff pat the hand cuffs on him and started with i iui for the j til. While on the way Spencer still maintained silence. Fin ally Sheriff Doss said: “Henry your lawyers may ask for a now trial, but unless they do and it is granted, your time on earth is short. ‘They wont hang me will they?” he inquired quickly, showing no little ex citement. _ “Yes, that’s what it means.” “Well, I will get justice from my Maker, if I cau’t here,” he said and again relapsed into si'ence. No further conversation was bad between officer and prisoner. After the reading of the verdict and the removal ot the prisoner, court was adjourned and the large crowd dispersed*—Daily T.-E Oct 25.

Spencer’s Lawyer Will Ask for A New Trial. Mr.Theo. Titus, who defended Henry Spencer, who was convicted of mur der day before yesterday, informed the reporter yesterday that he intended to file a motion for a new trial at once* He did not state what grounds he would ask for it on, and would not express hia opinion as to what the chances were of is petition being granted. There are some who think that if accorded to a new trial Spen cer’s neck will be saved, while others are of the opinion that he got no more than hu deserts.—Daily T.-E. Oct. 26 Hardy Goff swore that he carried Green home the day before he died, that Green came to his house after going to see the doctor. He was in a dying condition then. P. P. Dixon recalled^ stated that he shaved Green’s head and examined the wound closely but did not probe it. When ha would blow his nose the air would come out of the wound. JohnW. Busbeesaid that he saw Mouo Green after he was dead and Stole His Harness. Mr. Joseph Singletary was in town yesterday. He hitched his horse in rhe “rascal yard,” in rear of R. L. Hicks & Co.’s drug store. About cn> o’clock he went around to hitch up and go home, when he discovered that his harness was gone. Some one bad removed it from the horse and carried it away. "Mr. Singletary made a dose search of the place . for it, but could not find a single trace. He was forced to buy a new set of harness before he could drive home. We karn that a set of harness was stolen in a similar manner from the yard in fear of. Mr. Tuttle’s jewelry sRJre the day before. There is no duo to the guilty parties; but the officers are on the look out. Messrs. E. P. S. Denmark, 8. T. Kingsberry and J. Gl Cranford were in town yesterday. They were bore in the interest of some important cas es pending in Echols court- They hkd a hearing before Judge Hansell yesterday afternoon. One ot the claims involved $40,000 aud another $25 ; 000. The Judge appointed masters in chancery in both cases. no speedy repairs except in the roof- This is reported to be still ini a leaking conditior, and as probably the best means of remedying this, we suggest, to the proper authorities, the letting of the job to a competent workman upon a guaranteed contract. THe poor house appears to be well kept. Everything about the.building presents a neat and cleanly appear-r once. There are only ten inmates— two whites and eight colored* We find that one of the fire places needs some repairs and that a few of the posts in the fencing are rotten. These repairs are the only recommendations that we have to make-in reference to this institution. We find the jail in deanly condi tion and the prisoners seemingly as well cared for as their crowded com dition will permit. The arrangement of the building is convenient and the ventilation perfect We learn that the jailor’s family has had considera ble sickness recently, but to what cause this may bs due, we are unable to say. We have’no expert plnmbcr in our body and therefore cannot judge intelligently of the sewerage of the building. We find that tbe base ment, or cellar, is .provided with a plank floor. Also, that in wet weather the walls become quite damp, while water rises and stands upon the ground beneath the floor. As a sani tary measure we recommend that the wooden floor be taken out, and that the ground and walls be cemented. From the best informationthat we have been able to obtain, the roads and bridges axe in fairly good condi tion, In some places the roads are not sufficiently wide to permit the easy passage of vehicles. This should be remedied, and we recommend that all overseers, at ths next working, see that all parts of their roads are worked to the width required by law. We also learn that in a few instances the footways have been torn away, and in some places the ditches along side of the roads have been filled in, to accommodate wood haulers and others in entering and going from the roads in their wagons. We urge all overseers and commissioners of roads throughout the county to be vigilant in averting such acts. Inasmuch as all the-records of tbe 'county were examined by the last grand jury, and regarding the incum bents of the several county offices as both competenVand faithful, wo have deemed it unnecessary to make any examination at this term. We are glad to learn from report?, and to believe after dilligent enquiry, that the liquor laws are much less frequently violated than formerly, and especially on the Sabbath day. While the criminal docket of our county chows a frequency of crime that is to be dep’ored, we are gratified to know that the spirit of lawlessness, in the form of mob?, white caps and like secret bodies, which has prevailed in so many sections of the country, and which has resulted in so much terror, violence and blood shed, has not found a foothold in our couoty or in our immediate vicinity. To the end that we may' remain free from such innovations, and at the same time reduce lawlessness in all its forms, we commend the people, and especially the young men, upon whom the duties and responsibilities of gov ernment must soon rest, to a stricter observance ot, and a higher regard for, the laws of the land. Believing that the education of the masses is the surest means by which good government as well as good so ciety con be secured and maintained, we heartily approve the steps being taken by our capital city looking to the establishment of public schools within hCrborderr; and trust that this sentiment will grow and spread until such schools will become su£ ficiently numerous to offer free edu< cation to every child within the coun ty Oar body, haying been informed by Chairman Hayes that Mr. J. B. Thomas, who was elected by the last grand jury a member of the Board of County Commissioners for the term of two years, refuses to serve, we have elected Dr. E R. Young, of Metcalfe District, to fill Mr. Thomas’ unex pired term. We recommend that the pay of jurors and bailiffs for the ensuing year be the same as paid this year, two dollars per day. In the -endeavor to discharge our duties, we have had frequent occasion to seek the aid of our Solicitor, Col. H. B. Peeples, and so cheerfully has he responded, and so conscientious has been his advice, that it' becomes pleasure to tender him our thanks, and to express our admiration for his integrity. We also acknowledge our indebted’ ness to Sheriff Doss for his prompt ness in securing the presence of wit nesses and otherwise aiding us iu the dispatch of business. Him afeo do we cheerfully commend for efficicency and dilligence as an officer. Before bidding adieu to the court we desire to assure his Honor, Judge papers as are under contract with the county to do the public printing. W, H. Bibb, Foreman, R. E. Lester, J. JM. Pilcher, W. T.

The October term of Thomas Su perior .Court was adjourned by Judge Hansell yesterday moraing after be ing in session for nearly two weeks. This term of the court haabeen a busy one and ajlarge number of Both crimi nal and civil 'cases were disposed of. Yesterday morning the case of the State va John Jones, perjury, which was continuedjfrom the day before on account of one of the State’s witnesses being absent, was taken up. Mr. W. H. Hammond, representing the de fendant, asked for a continuance on the ground that one of his witnesses was sick and unable to be present and testify. This was granted and Jones gave bond and was released. Chas. Spanish, colored, was next brought into court to answer an in dictment charging him with burgla* ry. He pleaded guilty to a similar indictment last week. His lawyer’s realizing that he would be convicted, decided that the-best thing they could do would be to pursue the same course in regard to the last. Thera is an other indictment against Spanish for burglary which will be held up until he pays the penalty of the first two. After the disposition of this case the petit jurors were discharged by the court, who thanked them for their prompt attendance and faithful per formance of duty. The grand jary then filed iuto the court room and after reading' out their general presentments were dis charged, with the thanks of the court, for the term.

Deserved Recognition After the adjournment of court yes terday morning Solicitor General Peeples called Sheriff Dosa aside and after expressing his admiration of that officers ability, and thanking him for his assistance and J the very efficient manner in which he had discharged his duties during the present tei m of court, presented him with a fine over coat as a slight token of his esteem* and gratitude.
