Ed Fields Hanged.
According to a previous sentence
Of the court, Ed Fields, colored, wse
tanged in private in the jeU yard last
Friday.
On the day previous to his execu
tion, he professed religion, and de
sired to be admitted into the church,
so Rev. L. Pittman, in company with
several members of the A.M.E church’
repaired to the jail, and sang, prayed
and read scripture, and finally bap
tized him, and received him into the
church.
The condemned man passed a very
quiet night. Guards remained at
the jail all night, and just as the sun
shot its golden and mellow rays from
beyond the eastern hills through the
cells of the jail, Ed Fields was up
and ready for the last meal he would
ever take. His breakfast,consisting
of coffee, eggs, biscuit, ham, and
other things, was furnished him
about 8 o’clock by the jailor’s wife,
Mrs. Collier, and the doomed man
seemed to eat it with a relish. “This
is the last time I will ever eat any
thing in this world; and ah, you all
do not know what a feeling I have; I
will never sleep another night, never
eat another meal, never see the faces
of those I love, especially never see
my good old mother’s face again. If
I was a smart man, and an educated
man, I could not tell you of the feel
ings I have.” This was theNhoughts
of the negro, Ed Fields, without the
dialect.
He said further: “I am ready to
die; I have seen the workmen build
ing the scaffold on which I am to
die; and lam not as skeered of it
now as I thought I would be.”
About this time Sheriff Stevens
arrived with a black suit of clothes,
anew shirt, anew hat, anew pair of
shoes, etc., and Ed expressed him
self as well pleased with them. He
soon began making preparations to
robe himself in his new habiliments,
and by 10 o’clock was dressed and
ready for his doom.
At 11:30 o’clock, Sheriff Stevens
arranged a part of the guards about
the jail, and some were kept with
him to help bring the prisoner out
of jail. The guards arranged, the
big doors of the jail clinked, and
Sheriff Stevens brought the con
demned man out of his cell, where he
had been for some time talking with
Rev. H. B. Mays, pastor of the M.E.
Church, South, and to Rev. E. Pitt
man of his own church. He was
carried to the front of the jail, where
he faced a large crowd of people,
many of whom were colored
He was given an opportunity to talk
to the crowd, but did not utter a
word, as he bad told Rev. E. Pitt
man before leaving the cell what to
say for him. Rev. Pittman said the
young man told him he was pre
pared to die, and desired to leave a
message behind him, and that mes
sage was for everybody to let whis
key alone, as it was whiskey that
brought him to the terrible doom he
then faced.
He was carried from the front to
the scaffold, and here the song,
“Amazing Grace, How Sweet the
Sound,” was sung according to Ed
Fields’ request, and a fervent prayer
offered by Rev. E. Pittman, colored.
He then bade everybody good bye,
shaking hands with his brothers and
sisters as they came to him, and he
seemed unmoved until his mother
gave him a last farewell, when emo
tion seemed to get the better of him.
He shook hands with Sheriff Stevens
and Deputy Appleby.
He was then led on the trap,where
Deputy Appleby adjusted the black
cap and white robe. Sheriff Stevens
went down under the platform floor,
and Deputy Appleby said: “All
right.” Sheriff Stevens looked at
his watch, and it was exactly 14 min
utes till 1 o’clock. The sheriff said:
‘Look out,” and in an instant had
pulled the trigger.
Ed Fields dropped 4£ feet, and in
24 minutes afterwards was pro
nounced dead by Drs. S. J. Smith
and J. G. Elder of Jefferson, and
i W. B. Hardman of Harmony Grove.
He was cut down and placed in a
simple black coffin, and his remains
were turned over to his relatives,
who buried him the next day at New
Hope, near Hoschton.
After the hanging, Sheriff Stevens
climbed up on the jail yard fence
and said: “I desire to thank every
body present to-day for their good
order and splendid behavior. A
crowd of this size never behaved
better than you all have, and I want
to thank you for it.”

Prof. C. R. Ware.
Prof. C. R. Ware, of Winder, Ga.,
was elected superintendent of the
Lawrenceville Public Schools last
Saturday.
Since the resignation of Prof.Bag
well, it has been purely a matter of
speculation as to who would be the
successful contestant for this very
honorable position.
The people of Lawrenceville and
community should be highly elated
at the selection of the Board in se
curing Prof. Ware’s services. As an
instructor, he has greatly shown his
real worth since his connection with
the city school at Winder, and it is
with great reluctance that the peo
ple of Winder give him up.
Mr. Ware entered the University
of Georgia in the fall of 1894, where
he completed his Sophomore year.
After this he finished the two re
maining years at Mercer University,
where he was one of the foremost
men of his class.
Mr. Ware was the first man to
propose a college annual at Mercer,
and to-day he is honored as the
founder of the great college annual.
Since leaving Mercer in June ’9B,
he has been actively engaged in his
chosen profession at Winder. Prior
to this time he was engaged in teach
ing at intervals, giving him in all
about six years experience as a
teacher.
The Board is to be justly congrat
ulated upon choosing him as Prof-
Bagwell’s successor, and we com
mend him to the people of Gwinnett
as a model young man—worthy of
the best at the hands of any section.

success and winning the laurels of
esteem and admiration which he de
serves.
We are very much regretted to
learn of the death of Mr. Z. Duke.
For quite awhile Mr. Duke has re

ago. Modest, unassuming, genial,
he won the respect of all who met

RANDOLPH'S ACADEMY.
The school at this place is moving
on nicely. Roll Bhows up 76 pupils.
Miss Mary Lou Cargill cf Winder is
assisting the principal. This school
offers the people as good advantages
as any school in the county, and it is

berry a few days ago, and had the
pleasure of seeing a few of Rev. Hi
ram Rainy’s protected squirrels.
There is a large grove around the
gentleman’s house, and he allows no
one to harm or molest these beauti
ful creatures. We saw six—one in
the yard, one playing on the railroad
at the depot,and others on the ground
and among the trees. Doubtless
these little people give the owner
more pleasure in this way than any
other. We are not acquainted with
Mr. Rainey, but we admire his hu
man treatment of dumb animals.

In Memory.
On Xmas Eye morning, at 2
o’clock, the angel of death visited
the home of Mr. Thos. N. Eberhart
and laid the cold hand of death on
him, and said, “Gome and go with
me, and enter into the joys of thou
salvation prepared for you from the
foundation of the earth.”
Mr. Eberhart was 55 years old.
He married Miss Mary Adding
in 1867. He joined the Primitive
Baptist church in 1875. He lived a
consecrated Christian life, and died
in full triumph of his faith. He was
a good husband, a good father, a
good neighbor. He was loved by all
who knew him. He leaves a wife,
six children, father and mother, sis
ters and brothers, and a host of
friends to mourn his death.
It was once appointed unto man
to die, and after death the judg
ment; blessed is he that die in the
Lord. We have evidence that Mr.
Eberhart was a child of God, and
that he is now at the right hand of
God ready to meet the redeemed of
the earth. May the wife, children,
father and mother, brothers and sis
ters, all be ready to meet him when
their time has come to depart from
this world. May the Lord be a hus
band to the widow, and father to
the orphans, and may He comfort
them in time of need; and may this
teach us that we must stand before
the bar of God and give account of
the deeds done in the body.
Fbiend.
Millie J. Hood.
Sister Millie J. Hood was born
May 18, 1815. She professed a hope
in Christ under the preaching of
Rev. Benjamin Thornton, and was
baptized by him into the fellowship
of Black’s Creek church in February,
1829, the weather being so cold that
it was needful to break the ice to get
into the water. On May 22, 1832,
the subject of this sketch was mar
ried to Reubin H. Hood. She died
July 6 th, 1899. Sister Hood, from
the date of her spiritual birth, loved
her church, honored her God, al
ways adorning the profession of her
faith in Christ. Her growth in grace
was manifest, her hope growing
brighter and brighter until her death,
when she fell sweetly asleep in Jesus.
She left a large family to mourn her
death. She pro red herself to be a
faithful wife, an affectionate mother,
a good neighbor, a loyal church
member, an humble child of God.
May her beautiful Christian life be
an example for the good of all of us.
We suggest that a page of the church
record be set apart to her memory.

(Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mother’s and
grandmother’s never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bil
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen
tation of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous aod organic action of the sys
tem, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need % few
does of Green’s August Flcwer, in li
quor form, to make you satisfied there
is nothing serious the matter with you.
