peared in our columns.
Mrs. McKinkey, mother 1,1
President McKinley, died last
Sunday at her home in Canton. O.
She was a very old lady and had
something like a paralytic “toko.
It was a touching scene when th'
president was forced to leave his
dying mother to attend the con
vening of Congress. She 1 1vim1
long enough, however, for him t>>
return, and it so happened that
■he regained consciousness Just
about the time he readied her bed
side aud recognized her dist in¬
guished sou, but a relapse soon
took place and she soon passed
away.
“MISGUIDED SYMPATHIES.”
Tho Times had something to say
last week under the above caption,
and we take it up again, not to
apologize but to explain, and also
to correct what seems to b<‘ an
erroneous impression of wluvt we
intended to say and of the light in
which Miss McCleskey would fetid
pur article.
We have the best of feeling and
greatest respect for the young Indy
who got up the [petition and nil
ladies who signed it. The bone of
contention in our article seems to
be the expression ‘‘If the ladies
lore the negro so well, let them
begin their reforms with the
younger generation, and not with
hardened criminals.” What wo
might have said is, that if the
ladies, aud gentlemen too, us to
that, are so much concerned about
the welfare of men’s souls, it is
better to direct their energies to
the younger generation of sinners.
Hardened criminals are incapable,

see a reformed escaped convict.
The fipirit of capital punishment
is that murderers do not value
human life aud that society is not
safe while there is breath in their
bodies.
While the petition to save Kras
til* Brown furnished a basis fpr .
o«r we did not intend any
thim personal, we meant it
\ general application, and to this
extent we will maintain it at tho
point of—well the point of the

Governors are snowed under with
petitions and besieged by delyga
twins for pardons until none but a
N«ro can turn them away at all
times. Since our paper w ; as pub
lished the papers have been full
ot examples. Governor Atkinson
pa^oned a negro murderer last
week and is now beiug criticised
for so doing. Had it not been for
the efforts of women, Mrs. Nobles
and Guss Fambles would have
paid the penalty of their awful
crime long ago, and now that
there is a probability of their yxe
cution, another appeal to seuti
ment is being brought to bear
upon the governor, aud not by
ladies Only. A young lady muse

Of His Crime,
Full Particulars Of The Hanging.
It has been a long time since
Statesboro has had a hanging, and
the execution yesterday of Eras
Brown brought a large crowd
to town.
Early in the day the crowd be
ran gathering and continued until
Lhcro was estimated to he in the
neighborhood of *00 people more
than usual 'circulating in the
place.
At 2 o’clock Sheriff Donaldson
went down to the stockade to see
that everything was in condition,
and then repaired to the jail to
arrange his deputies and attend to
a ll the other numerous little things
that come up during such a time.
yhe Times man reached the jail
at 2 ; 20 and found Revs. Lovett,
[> owe t 1, Taylor and Dawson, all
colored, singing “He Will Save
you.”
I 11 a few minutes Sheriff Don
aldson told Brown he was ready,
and the negro stepped out into the
Cun -idor of the jail, when his arms
, were tied above the elbow with a
pj ece 0 f co tton rope,
Tho negro did not flinch a par¬
ticle a3 he was being tied, but told
t [ 10 0 |)j 0er that it was tight. When
he sat down on the bench his head
and body began swaying backward
and forward.
When the sheriff had stationed
his guards, ho tied another rope
around the condemned man’s body
and wrists, and inarched to thi
scaffold in tho stockade,
I n front of the procession was
Brown with Sheriff Griffin, of Ef
fmgharo, holding him on the right
sifle, and Sheriff Donalds in on th<
left. Next came Drs. Sainjdes and
McLean ; J. L. Matthews, of the
Savannah Press, and tho Times
man, followed by the colored
preachers. A lino of guards being
on both sides of the party,
During the march the whole
crowd that had congregated want
ed to get a glimpse of the doomed
man, and the house tops and , J
tho trees were literally filled **th
men and boys.
Immediately on reaching the
gallows the rope was placed
ly around Brown’s neck and his
legs were tied just at the top of
his shoes.
On the gallows were Sheriff
T'-mes, with the colored preachers
standing on the steps,
Brown was dressed in a new suit
of black clothes, white shirt, stand¬
ing collar and black cravat, and
had his shoes freshly polished. He
said he was 31 years old and stand¬
ing or. the gallows with the noose
around his neck, he made the fol
lowing statement:
“Well, men and brethren, you
where T I am, , but , T 1 , thank 1 . l uod
see
that tho Lord has pardoned t«y
sins. I believe the Lord is
me, aud I ask all friends to try to
1 stay away from my state. Women 1
i Women are the bare faced frauds
tc men. Men, beware of women.
I wits raised all right aud never
had any thing against me before,
’Tis hard that the first thiug a mso
should tie blamed with he should
hang. Save me, Lord; ob, Jesus,
save me.
He then began singing “I won't ^
come here to pray nor mourn,” at
the conclusion of which he said,
“Lord, have mercy upon me this
evening if it is Thy will,” after
which Rev. Lovett offered a very
touching prayer,
Rev. Lovett: How do you feel,
Brown, about your condition?
Brown : 1 am trusting iu Josub,
au< j believe Jesus will save nee.
j{ ov Lovett: Are you
0 f your salvation?
Brown : I feel safe.
The ministers raised the hymn,

The body fell straight down and

ing of the legs.
At the expiration of twelve min¬

utes, when it, e*w cntdowuard

doctors preser.t .“Hid he (ii*“l ol

tend that his ueck was broken.
The cuffm wus pluoud ottlsid*; of
the stockade yard, be where all that
wished could go see him, after
which the body was carried to the
eemotery for in hr went.
Although it was his first hang¬
ing, Sheriff Donaldson can be con¬
gratulated upon the efficient man¬
ner ill which ho conducted it.
Thero was not a hitch nor a pause
in any part of the proceeding,
showing that he had given his per¬
sonal attention to all the details.
Mr. Donaldson wsb perfectly ca!u\
and collooted through all the try¬
ing ordeal, a distinction that few
officers cun claim.
Before leaving the jail Friday
Brown wrote the following letter:
Btatesboiio, Ga.,
Dec the 9 1897.
This is to what friends I have in
Statesboro I feel like I have sown
I unible thank ull who \york‘ Hp

It will be remembered that
Brown was convicted of murder
without recoimueHilfitiQi} at the
last term of superior court and
sentenced to be bung. He stole
Ben Alexander’s wife and kept her
for two weeks. Alexander got a
challce and carried her baek home',
