appointment and Vexation.
Yesterday was the day appointed for
the hanging of Sang Armor Thurs
day the reprieve arrived, but the news
made little headway in the neighboring
country.
At an early hour yesterday morning
. the crowds began to gather. From all
parts of this county, and from neigh¬
boring counties for a circuit of many
miles they came. Sturdy farmers,
mothers with their infants, troops of |
darkies with mules, some afoot many ,
with stout gripsacks and a day’s pro- !
visions, might have been seen wending
their way to the festal gathering. It i
to be i
was an epocli in their lives. Nev
had. hanging .
er a been witnessed in
lahaferro. , ho ,, said ., that , useful , , relic of „ I
the past, ‘ the oldest inhabitant.” In j
a short while the city was densely
crowded. The streets and avenues
were line ! with wagons, and groups of
anxious visitors. .Since the days of
the great Crawford, and the famous
stump battles of our own venerated
“Commoner,” the public square had
a multitude, Ihe scene was an inter
eating one.
Here and there was a buggy with a
blushing uiniden and the attendant es¬
covt ; here an ox-cart with a primitive
looking cargo, here a huge wagon with
lbs team of mules hearing the family
. f a sturdy farmer, the children all ea
ter for the fun,the trusty “hound-dog”
hitched on with a stout rope. Here
and there the peddler of pies ' ami can

A Cruikshank or a Keppler would have
gloried in the scene. None others could
have done it justice. Gloom fell upon

unde of the maiden relaxed its sweet
ness; the good liousewite grumbled at
the useless trouble of the trip; theeltil

their fun .and the hound-dog echoed
Iks .regretful chorus. On the fences
of the Court House square the brawny
jeomrn sat,and gave earnest utterance
lo indignant protests.
We too looked mournfully on We
had just come from a neighboring city

port the details of the dreadful
Our resident associate gazed sadly at
three columns of solid type, wherein a
history of the crime, the trial of the
condemned and an interview with a
a fresh con tession were set forth with
blood-curdling minuteness. The en
terprising r.a however was soon
equal to the situation, and rushed off
with subscription book and a Jot ol fly*
specked accounts to make hay while
the sun shone. “Liaps ’ were d.s
cussed, fresh items collected, and the
breeches pocket ot the r. a. grew lieav
ier.
At length the hubbub and murmur
of the gathered multitude was hushed,
The great day came to a close. The
sun went . down . upon a procession of ,
retreating vehicles, and silence
reigned through the once busy streets,
As night fell upon the public square
there was naught visible but a flock of
village geese. Ever and anon a solita
ry passer-by wended ins way along,
and again disappeared We retired o
our sanctum, and sadly thought of the
uncertainty of human hopes.
We shall now give the
CAUSES WHICH LED TO TIIE RB8PITE.
For two weeks past our people have
been excited over the presence of three
detectives in Crawfordville. They came
among us in the usual mysterious way.
The train was stopped about half a mile
from the city proper and the mysteri¬
ous men were allowed to get off. But
the Ijten eyes of our home detectives—
ever outlie alert for news items—saw
them, and iu less than a half hour, the
news flashed over the town. Tiie pur¬
pose for which they came was tiie
SAVING OF SANT- ARMOR,
the murderer of Amos Ellington. They
wo, ked in a secret wav.
Little was known of the character or
progress of their investigations until
Thursday morning when the news
broke l ! ke a thunder-clap upon the
community that Sang Armor had been
respited until the twenty-fith of No
vember next, and Aleck Stevens and
Jeff Adams arrested for complicity in
the murder. Elsewhere we publish the

reprieve of the Governor and the war
rant of Judge Pottle. Sang was retnov
ed to the jail at Augusta, and Stevens
and Adams carried to Warren ton l»y
the sheriff of that county aud there
imprisoned. This strange proceeding is
ENVELOPED IN MYSTERY.
Why they were carried to IFarrenton
no one knows. When taken to

and Messrs. Marshall Andrews and
John W. Hixon, the counsel of the pris
oners, sought information as to the
disposition lo be made of them. The
re P*y was that they were to be carried
to Harnett where instructions would he
received from Judge Pottle by tele
S r -*Ph. It is claimed that no telegram
was inquired for or received, and that
the prisoners were conveyed directly to
Warrenton. These
DARK LANTERN PROCEEDINGS
aroused the indignation of the ent'-e
community. What proof is to be ad¬
duced in support of the charge against
these parties as yet unknown, The de¬
tectives claim with confidence that
ample evidence exists, aud that others
still will be implicated in the crime,
They boldly allege that Sang was
HIRED BY TWO PROMINENT CITIZENS
TO DO THE DEED,
certain money transactions, it is said,
implied them to tiiis course. No names
are given.
Stevens and Adams were arrested
several niontbs ago, and afterwards
discharged. Xu evidence could he
brought against them save the conliict
iug confessions of Sang Armor. At
times the latter would charge them
with complicity in the crime, and again
these stories were flatly deni d. At
the last term of the Superior Court a
thorough investigation was made of the
case. The result was that Sang Ar¬
mor was indicted as the sole perpetra¬
tor of the crime. His trial and convio
tion followed. And yesterday was the
befoie the sentence of the law was
pronounced, he confessed the crime,
but charged that Stevens had directed
him to strike the fatal blowy while lie
finished the murder with a pistol, ami
j e ff Adams stood by to keep watch,
As the certainly of his doom became

confessed that he alone did the

CAUGHT IN A (UK.
Mr. George R. Gilmer Has 11 m Arm
Frightfully Mangled.
Thursday morning,about *l@vejn o'clock,
a very serious accident occurred at th*
steam gin of Mb. W. K Hopltn, Mr,
W. F. Jlohlen. Mr. George It. Gilmer,
one of the employes, was mljasting tho
machinery. The breast of the gin was
thrown up. Mr. Gilmer was taking out
of the teeth some cotton that lmd clotted
Fiore. Bis foot slipped, lie fell against
0 teeth. Tlx same were, rapidly revoly-
1 ig, It was the work of an Instant. Ilia
arm was tel ribly lacerated. The flesh,
muscles and leaden were completely lor*
off, leaving nothing but the bare lama,
from about two inches above the elbow
to the l ase of tlu> hand. Luckily Mr,
John Akins was standing near. Be
caught Mr. Gilmer, and thus probably
saved his life. The wi undid man wa*
removed to fils house hardby. Doctor’s
.shields and Rhodes were ill-patched for.
They responded at pmee, 'I hey rendered
all the medical aid iu their power dress¬
ing tlm wound 1 and making the wottuded
man as comfortable as possible. At the
hour of going to press Mr. Gilmer is lost
mg comparatively easy ; he hoars his snif¬
tering* with heroic fortit title , and tlm
physician* attendant have some hope.* of
-aving his arm. It was a most unfortu¬
nate accident. Mr. Gilmer is a wivrthv
young man and we sympathize with him
m Ills misfortune. ^
