Agt. ipp. N THE TOWN AND COUNTY. That was a well deserved compli ment the late graod jury paid Judge Hansell, Solicitor Peeples and Sheriff Doss in their general presentments published yesterday. There are no better officers anywhere than the gen tle men mentioned, and they deserve all the good things said about them. . The Money Sent OK e wire informed yesterday by Mrs E M Smith, who had charge of the fimmcps of the benefit enter tainment given at the opera house last week, that alur al ex pecs a we re paid #109.40 remained, which was sent yesterday to Brunswick. The money was seut t«» Rev. Mr. Cook, Rev. Mr. Winn and Ruv. Father Hennessy to be used by them as they see fit among the sufferers- This amount dies uot inc'ude what was rea ! iz-d by the Jts ival. SENTENCES- PASSED The Prisoners Convicted a 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 and everythirg was injrdulinea?. The first prison era brought in wire Joe and Scrap Powe’l, the two sisters who were caught in Mr. Brandnu’s house. They were imiicte l for bui- glary, but were couvicte i of larceny from the house. His Honor slated that in view of the fact that they had already been c mfined ia jail for some m tilths, and also tilting* iuto caus'd* eration iho tender age of the ccitni na!s, he would impose a comparative' ly light Beutence, aud gave them sixty days each in jail, Jerry 1 illey and RTev Pope, white, were next brought in. These men were indicted l**r burglary, but were allowed top cad guilty to larceny from the house. «ho Judge gave them a severe lecture before pro nouncing seuteuce J rry Ti ley was fined one hundred dbdiiTi and coats or twelve mouths oil ti *• chain gang. Riley Pope got off j-om-whai lighter. He i Met. ceil 1) p i Sue of to ihoprisoner,but to every one in the court room. He then sentenced the prisoner, to be hung on Friday, December the 22nd, 1893, between the hours of 11 and 4 o’clock,. The execution will be private. The Sher iff took hold of Spencer and fed him out of the court room.. As he was passing out a gentleman walked up and handed the condemned man a tract. The prisoners were all chained to gether again and*tinder an armed escort taken back to jail. BY MASKED MEN. A Negro Man and His Wife Ta ken Oat and Whipped. . Returned Again. Mr. Fred Muller, who spent hat winter aud the preceding summer Thomasville, arrived Saturday after- noon and is again a guest of Jersey Farm. Mr. Muller made the trip this time from his home near^Peoria, 111., on horseback. He was in the saddle about thirty days. He stood i he trip splendidly, showing no signs of fa tigue from the long and in many places rough journey. Mr. Muller will be remembered b/ a great many of onr citizens and will be welcomed most heartily by all. He is not only a staunch administration democrat, but ah aU round clever fellow.

AU corresjoadenco atrictlj oonfldentlal 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” sixty tioiJais nii.l c k\ months ou the garg stated that the - sentence was lighter i! was because he had bsei he was weak'minded an 1 was no doubt lead int i cuinmit'ing tue crime.

Washington was con victed of involuntary nvins'aughter the commission of an unlawful The Judge sentenced him t >- the pen itentiary tor two years. 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 led ihe whole business. The three kept in jail several days, but FOR SWEET CHARITY. Home Talent Plays a Benefit fog Brunswick'—An Excel lent Performance. nothing was learned of the where- :s of the lost money. Copeland then withdrew the warrants and the negroes were liberated. Williams and his friends are con fident that the missing pocket book the cause of the masked men’s visit and the destruction of the house. It is’ said that the house of another ne- to whom the woman said she gave the money, was visited the same night by the masked men and searched, but nothing was found. We do not kmw who composed the moh—the above story is as we heard it—hut we regret very much that it has occurred. Thomas county has, up to this lime, been free from any kind of mob violence, and we sincerely ho,«e there will bs no more of it. *T have paid two dollars for a- seat 4a see a far inferior ’performance,” said a stranger iu the hearing' of the reporter as he was leaving the opera house on Thursday night. “For am ateurs ii beat any thing I ever eaw.” 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: Du*it—Djmonen, Tauz Edward llolst.

[x Mis3 Bessie Hopkins took the part of “Lady Guinevere L’andpoorc, 0 a very difficult character to impersonate 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.. The Hotel Masury, It is wjth pleasure that wo note the renting.of the above hotel, which, by the way, is one of the finest in tho State. Mr. S. L. Hayes, representing Juba W. Ma3ury, the owner, Mr. yesterday closed a trade with Mr. J. J. Nelson, of Hendersonville, N. C., who has least d the house for a term years aud will ruu it the coming win ter. Mr. Nelson will arrive in’Thom asvilie about the 10th of v November with his help, and will at once pro ceed to put the house iu order. .He expects to open it about the first ol December. Mr. Ne’sou is owner aud proprietor of the Wayside Ion, at Hendersonville, N. C., which he has been running fur a number of -years. He has had long years of experience in the hotel business, aud is a business man of cousiderable reputation. Mr. Hayes assures us that Mr. Nelson by far the best man. iu all respects, that has ever had charge of the Masu Mr. Nelson is known to 4 large number of our citizens, who have visited Hendersonville during the past and previous summers, aud they all, without exception, speak in the highest terms of him both as a gentle man and ns a hotel man. As stated above, the Masury is ous of the best appointed houses in the State, and with the proper management, such as we have every reason to believe Mr. Nelson will give it, there is no doubt but what it can be made a big success in the. broadest sense of the term. The Times-Ektebpbisb ; behalf of the citizens of Thomasville, extends to. Mr. Nelson a cordial wel come to our little piney woods city, aud will do all in its power to assist him in building up this msguificent The law paid the punishment for this . , , ' **• crime should be death. The Judge ooulci show no raerej. Bis duty was plain, aud painful as it might be', he was compelled to discharge it. In view of the fact that a motion for s new trial would likely be filed, His Honor refrained from making any remarka upon ibe crime, but before pronouncing eentence bo ad. vised the'doomed man' to prepare to meet his God, as his time ou earth was extremely short. ‘ The Judge's talk was very impressive, notonly is A Success, The ladies who managed the sapper at German-Hall on Thursday night made a success of the affair. It was given for the benefit of Branawick and we learn that something over thirty dollars was. realized. There was an abundance of all kinds ol refreshments and they were sold at very low prices. The ladies deserve much credit for their generous labor in the interest of Charity. Edward Ralston^ a promising young American, half owner iu (be Sierra gold mine Mr. W. D.

The instrumental duett* by Miss Stegall aud Miss Auuie Fuller, aud Miss Stegall and Master Charley Bal four, were exquisitely rendered, a3 was also the solo by Miss Evelyn Mallard. The vocal so’o, “Barney Take Me Back Agaio,” by Miss Etta Shackel ford, was heartily applauded. Miss 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 could have been improved upon 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. Mays and G. M. Smith, was so p)i ing to the audience that they were compelled to respond to ah encore. The farce comedy, “A Box of Mon keys,” iu two acts, was the main fea ture of the entertainment. Although presented by amateurs who had not more than a week’s tune to prepare and rehearse the piece, it’s rendi tion was faultless • and would’ have done credit to professionals. There was not a single “break.” Every thing went through smoothly and without ajar. Miss Honorioe Mitchell, as “Mrs. Ondego Johnes,” had a splendid con- POLIOE COURT. 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. V Cbari.es Petty. Spartanburg, S. C. The attendance at yesterday morn ing’s, session of tho police court was the largest.we have seen, in months. The house waS'packed, aud as will be seen by the list ofcases* below, all of the room was not consumed by spec tators: Hattie Larkins plead guilty to dis orderly conduce, and was sentenced to pay a fine of five dollars and costs. Laura Fleming; was charged with fighting a man: She said they were not fighting—merely embracing each other. The mayor told her she could pay a fioe of five dollars for hugging on the streets. Payton Mitchell was fioed tea dol lars for contempt of court in failing to obey a summons^ R. A. Woodhull was also fioed ten dollars for contempt. James R. Hughes next came to the front His face was red, his cose skinned aud he bore all the evidences oi having been knocked out in a bout with John Barleycorn. «T haven’t a cent, yout honor, and I hope you will let me off this time,” he p’eaded. ‘Five dollars or ten days,” was the mayor’s answer. Virgil Moore,charged with disorder* ly conduct, was dismissed. Bsu Small, a'Sandy Bottom restau rant keeper, was fiued four dollars including costs for indu'ging in a too free use of profane language. L. N. L’nson, a minor, was fioed one dollar for entering a bar room. Wm. Duncan, arraigned’ for disor derly conduct, was discharged. James Duncao was fiue,d one doN lar for being d sord^rly. J. H.

Isaac Jones was arraigned as a street tax defaulter. He was- repre sented by Mr. W. C. Soolgras?, who plead physical disability. The raiyor reserved his decision until Fridiy. Willie Scott wa< convicted of dis orderly conduct. He had just finish, ed serving a term oi the gang of thirty days and*the mayor increased the dose this time by giving him forty days. George Puckett was fined ten dol lars and costs for contempt. Willie Moure was given a like fine for the same offeme* Gus Taylor p’ead guilty to disorder ly conduct und contributed four doL larsto the city treasury. fi/e do’Ur fiii was entered against Asa Hodgss for contempt.

The democratic party is all right. Let the: majority rule; that is true and unadulterated democracy. Brains and backbone are tho prin cipal component parts in the make up of Grover Cleveland. The business interests of the conn- try will show marked improvement when the Sherman act is repealed. Mark it An Alabama whitecap has been caught in the act of pasting a gin house. He d&imath&t he did it iu fun, but he is in jail all the same. The effort being made to read Grover Cleveland out of the demo cratic party in Georgia, will fail. Aud it ought to fail and fail ignonrniously. The-indications are that the Olym pic Club of New Orleans will secure the Corbett-Mitchell fight should the principals decide to contest iu that city. Dr. W. C. Black, pastor of the Mulberry street Methodist church, in Macon, has accepted the editorial chair of the New Orleans Christian Advocate. By the time a few more White Caps are put under the boneset and the daisies there will b8 a more pal pable feeling of calm throughout the South.—Augusta Chronicle. Some of the business men of Savan nah favor the organization of a Com mercial Club, and a meeting recently held for that purpose indicates a speedy consummation of the object. The house has refused to reconsider the bill forbidding the sale of cigas reties within the state. If it passes the Seuato the cigarette will have uo place in Georgia. James Gordon Bennett, who has been confined to his room by the cmchiog accident in Paris, is to be t&keu to the Riviera, but his friends are reported as hopeless that he will ever recover. The Atlanta board of health refuses longer io incur the expense and trouble of issuing health certificates to citizens leaving Atlanta. They say that if thtre ever was any danger troin fever thtre, the recent frost has stamped out. Let us hope aud pray that the legislature will undertake to settle the dispute about silver. The coun try is tired of the discussion, heartily tired of it. There is one good feature about it, however; if the question is taken up they can't discuss it but fifty days as that is th9 limit of the ses sion. ' Reterring to the effect of^he repeal ot the Shermm a:t in Sivannah, the News of yesterdiy says: The announcement that Congress will soon pass a bill, unconditionally repealing the Sherman silver purchase law, is very satisfactory to Savannah’s business men. The general expression of opinion is that the beneficial effects -ol the repeal wdi be'felt’at once, and the existing business depression, aud the tightness of t*ie money market greatly relieved. * Confidence, it is said, will be re stored at ones, aud a general revival of trade will begin. “The repeal ot the Sherman silver purchase law,” said a business mao yesterday, will prove of immense ad vantage to thi3 section by increasing the demand for, add cousquently the price for oqr three great staples, cot- ton, luqrber and naval stores.
