That was a well deserved compli
ment the late graod jury paid Judge

The Last Term of Court *
' L ~ Sentenced.
A. large 7 crowds gathered at Jthe
court house Friday morning to
hear Judge, Hansell pass sentence
upon the. criminals convicted at Ibe
last term of court. There were quite
a number, of conviction s lit tiro term
referred to, some of them of vejy teri
ous crimes. Henry Spencer, the man
convicted of murder, was among, the
number and of course many went to
see what effect the passing of a sen
tence of death would have on him.
Prompt’y at hall pas*, niue o’clock
Sheriff Doss came into the court house
with the prisoners chained together.
Judge Ilauaell had alieudy arrived

who were caught in Mr. Brandnu’s
house. They were imiicte l for bui-

already been c mfined ia jail for some

sixty days each in jail,
Jerry 1 illey and RTev Pope,

There was another burglary Sunday
night. During the temporary absence
of the proprietor and his family from
Flipper’s shoe shop some one entered
the s’ore and made away With abcut
thirty-six dollars in cash. The par y
evidently had a key to the doer, as it
was found unlocked by Flipper when
he returned, who is confident he
locked it when he left. The money
was hid io various places about the
store and the person taking it must
certainly have been familiar with the
store and the proprietor’s places of
hiding his money. x, There is no clue

How Kope Elias Got His Name,
The lollowing is from the Atlanta
Constitution:
“There is a mao whose brother is
just now attracting a great deal of
attention throughout the entire epuqs
try,”
The man pointed to was Mr. Dave
Elia?, probably the most prominent
merchant'in Thomasville, the head of
the biggest mercantile house down
thtre. Mr. Elias was in the city yes
terday on his way back from the East.
Yes,” he said laughing, when ask
ed abcut his brother, “I am a brother
ol the renowned Kope Elias, who, as
you say is’attracting a good d;al of
attention. He 13 a lawyer, .as you
know, in North Carolina and his nora
ination for collector of cus’oms is
being fought for hard by one element
in that state. “Kope,” said he,
went into the race without any
particular desire to win, but now as
they are fighting him so hard for it
he is very anxious to whip the fight
and feels certain that he will do so.'
Mr.Elias explained one thing which
has never before been explained, and
that is where Kope got his name.
He took it himself,” said the
brother. “His given name was Koop-
mao, a family came—the name I
believe of some of our great nodes.
Kope, as he grew up, thought that
this' was too-long to carry through the
world and made it plain “Kopj,” and
the result is he has made a great deal
of fua for the' newspapers along with
Hoke Smith, Dink Bolts and some of
the others. Bat let me-tell you, he’s
all right if he is my brother”

This left but one more to bi ecn-
tenced, Henry Spencer. When
Sheriff Doss entered the court room
marching Spencer ahead of him,
there was a decided hush iu the un
derlonc conversation which lmd been
going ou. A deep and solemn silence
prevailed. Spencer stood with his
hands at his side looking rquarely at
the Judge, who was in a few minutes
to pronounce upon him tho sentence
of death. It was not a look of de
fiance or bravodo, but one which
showed he deeply felt and realized
the awlul fate to which he had
brought himeelf. Ho showed uot the
slightest nervousness nor moved a
muscle during the who'e time
sumed by the judge in his talk, bat
the expression on bis facs was one of
deepest despair and utter hopeless
ness. When asked if he had any
thing to say bafore sentence was pro
nounced upon him, he made
reply, but the pleading look in his
eyes spoke louder than words But
it was uot within the power of the
court to extend mercy. The jury
had said that he was guilty of murder
and bad .not recommended mercy.
News-was brought into town Bat
urday to the effect that Dan Wil
liams aud wife, colored tenants on the
Van Duzsr place, were taken from
their homo Thursday night by a.
masked baud of men and soundly
whipped. They could not recognize
any of the men composing the mob,
am all. of them were concealed behind
mask?. The following night (Friday)
their hjuse was burned by incendia
ries. Whether the burning was done
by the same parties that did the
whipping is not known*
Last week a Mr. Copeland,
while coming to town, tost from his
picket a pocket-book containing
about $120. He discovered his loss
80L>n after reaching town and a friend
iunntdiutely went back to look for
it. When ucar the house of Dun Wil
liams he saw n girl some distance
away pick up something in the road.
He approached and asked her if she
ha 1 found a pocket-book, stating that
he had lost one. She replied no, and
refused to answer apy more question?.
This iucreasei his suspicions aud he
came to towa and bad tho girl
arrested.She said she gave the book to
mother. Her mother was arrested
and the house searched. She said
she gave it to her husband, Dan
Williams. He was arrested, but de

said a stranger iu the hearing' of the
reporter as he was leaving the opera
house on Thursday night. “For am

Aud the granger voiced.the sentiments
of- every one in that vast audience
who witnessed, the entertainment
gotten up by: the young ladies'for the
benefit of the Brunswick sufferers on
Thursday night. Those who were
acquainted with the talent and ability
of the people who engaged in this
most laudable enterprise expected an
entertainment of more than ordinary
merit, but even they were totally un
prepared to witness such admirable
acting at the hands of amateurs. To
say that their anticipations were more
than realzed is indeed putting it
mildly.
The au lienee was a large and ap
preciative one, and the handsome
opera huusc presented an animated
scene w.Y.u the curtain rolled up.
The programme was as follows:

but her interpretation was faultless
The character of Sierra Bdogalenq,
was peculiarly'suited to Miss El'a
Stuart. ' Mies Stuart possesses talents
far above the ordinary. Her acting
was simply perfect in every Respect.
The work of Mr. W. P..Barbee, as
Edward Ralston, and Mr. C. M.
Smith, as Chaunrey Oglethorpe; was
very clever indeed. They each had
difficult roles, but they rendered their
parts in a most creditable manner.
To the efforts of Miss Bessie Hop
kins and Miss Bessie Blackshear is
due to a large extent the flattering
success of the entertainment. They
devoted much time and hard work
to making it the excellent performance
it was and they have a right to feel
proud of the results of their labors.
..The entertainment netted some
thing over one hundred and five dollars,
which is quite a nice sum. The
amount will be forwarded to the prop
er authorities at Brunswick at once..

also the solo by Miss Evelyn Mallard.
The vocal so’o, “Barney Take Me

Shackelford is the happy possessor of
a remarkably sweet and highly culti
vated voice. The other song rendered
by her near the close of the entertain
meut, “O Promise me,” was equally
as well received. It is due Miss
Shackelford to say that she was quite
indisposed during the whole evening,
though we fail to see how her. singing

One of the most pleasing features
of the programme was the recitations
of Mia Mayne Davis, and that young
lady no doubt felt highly compli
mented at tho" loud and prolonged
applause bestowed upon her. She
has a style and charm of manner that
is irresistible, and she at once com
pletely captivated the audience.
The instrumental music by the
“Mandolin Club,” composed of Messrs.
J. E. Robison, S. R. Robison, S. W.

ing to the audience that they were
compelled to respond to ah encore.
The farce comedy, “A Box of Mon

ture of the entertainment. Although
presented by amateurs who had not
more than a week’s tune to prepare

Yesterday Morning’s. Matinee a
Big One.
Edith Berenice Newell.
Entered into rest October 24th,
•23, at the residence ofMr.-and
Mrs. Charles Petty, Spartanburg, &
C., Miss Edith' Berenice Newell,
formerly of Florida.
There may ba friends, school mates
and relatives of Miss Newell in Flor
ida and Southern Georgia,^who would
like to know a little more than is
contained in the above notice. She
was burn either in Florida or near
Thomasville, Ga, about the year
1870. Her father died about 1876,
and her mother, who was a Miss Wil*»
bur, about 1883, or 1884. The latter
is,- perhaps, buried at Thomasville,
Ga. For the last year or two Miss
Newell has been iu New York prcse~
curing certain studies.
Left a complete orpbau at the age
of fourteen, she never knew untd
lately a place she could call home.
She was iff at school aud boarding
at various ji’aces and while she longed
and yearned for love and sympathy,
she did not get it. About a year ago
she met a young womaD, Miss Eva
Petty, about her own age, in New
York. Friendship soon ripened into
warmest affection. When they were
not engaged iu their studies they were
often together. Miss Petty had a
home where she was loved and missed.
When the letters were received from
home .Mies Newell would go to her
friend and say ; “You must read that
letter to me, I have never had home
letterp, and I so long to hear the un
affected. hearty tenderness expressed
them ” Thus it came about that
the orphan gir *s heart was touched
by these h)me letters, and she said
she wanted a place in that home.’ It
was freely and cheerfully given, and
after that lime she looked forward to
the day when she should come and
claim her place with the other chil
dren.
She reached Spartanburg in Sep
tember, after spending a short time
with some friends in Charlotte, N. 0.
When she came to her new home she
was not we'l. She would leave the
merry circle and go and sit with her
“mama” and “papa” as she called her
new found parents. It was touching
to see aud experience her happiness.
She entered into the home life with
such perfect satisfaction that it was
a benediction to the house. Iu a few
days she became sick and began a six
weeks fight with fever. Finally she
yielded aud cal mly fell asleep. Never
was any on^more tenderly nursed and
cared for than was our dear girl.
Day after day and night after night
she had the tenderest ministrations
and the best medical skill. Many
people in the city _ who had never
heard of her, became interested and
messages and flowers were sent in
daily. A few days before her death
she said to her “mama” and “papa”;
If God takes me now I want to . be
buried here-With-you all. Do not
send we away. Let me rest iu the
Episcopal church yard.”
Her request was carried out.
Wednesday, October 25, ehe was laid
tj rest on the sunny side of the
church, wheie a neat monument will
be erected to her memory. Her
grave was covered with beautiful
flo wers and hundreds of friends showed
their sympathy by their presence.
It does not become,me to speak of
the great sorrow that came to oar
family-in her death, but we also re
joice that her pure spirit was prepared
for the change. Her stay with us
was very short, but it was a heavenly
benediction, and the memory of her
sweetness and 'purity and beauty of
character will abide with us forever.
