Now that Will Myrt.s has been led away,
a condemned murderer, the question recurs
that has so often been asked since the kill

beckoning to Murrell to fall behind the trad
er. he whispered to him that the moment
had arrived and took from him his heavy
loaded whip for the commission of the deed.
He then directed Murrell to ride ahead,
and when he got upon a point of ground
which commanded an open view to the
south, to make a pause and call the atten
tion of his companion to the beauty of the
scenery, he then would ride up on the other
side and knock out his brains.
These suggestion chimed so well with
Murrell's view, that he did not offer an
amendment to the plan, but rode straight
on and accosting the trader as he came up,
by careless remarks, k pt on with him to
the apex of the hill. Then, urawing up his
horse and sweeping the horizon with his
hand, h • pointed out the various beauties of
the scene. The unsuspecting trader obeyed,
but just as he was about to express his ad
miration of the grand expanse that was
doomed to be his parting view of the beau
ties of earth a deadly bludgeon swung by
the ruthless hand of Crenshaw crushed deep
ii.to his skull, and ho reeled to the ground
a dead man. So fatal was the blow that ho
,ii ' not even groan, .md bq helptero tiM he
fall that the horse that bore him evinced no
n.ore alarm than if his master were de
scending regularly from the saddle.
The miscreants at once dismounted and
hastily set about plundering the body. They
spre lily accomplished this, and, having ob
tained from it a sum of sl.2'W. next debated
upon the l».*st method of its disposal.
"We'll throw him over the rocks tn the
creek,” said Murrell. “That's the best meth
od to dispose of him. When he reaches the
liottoni it will be a hard matter to tell how
he met his death, and it's ten to one he's
in ver seen again.”
"Well, thank God, that's over, said Cren
shaw. with a long-drawn breath of relief,
as he wat. h.d the body plunge into the re
cesses of the place. "Poor fellow, 1 am
sorry to have to bid him such a sad goodby.
but what's done cannot be helped.”
"He had but one fault that 1 know of.”
said Murrell, "and that was he had money.
However, every man must have his faults.”
And thus goes the account <-1 the murder.
Ther ■ was the man who catnc to buy mules.
He ha I money*. There waa the well seclu
cd place picked out tieforehand for the
committal of the deed. There was the
pla<-«’ to throw him. and there vias the easy
inuiffen nee of the crime.
Was this one of Murrell's murders that
made its impression on the plastic mind < f
Myers?
There is another point of coincidence in
< onneetion with the same affair. Murrell
was young then. He was handsome, livery
girl lie met gave her heart to him, and lie
neve’- flirted with keener enjoyment than
after he had done some awful erime.
Was this Hie thought that led Will My
ers to liirt with the college girls on the
train between Rome and Atlanta?
Ib n is another murder given in the con
fession of Murrell alter capture, which
prolvihly tainted the mind of Myers. He
had met a stranger ami accosted him.
"I ordered him to dismount," lie said.
"He <>lh yed without a word, and still hull
ing the horse by the bridle, I pointed down
the cre<k to a seelud.’d spot and ordered
him to walk iiefore me. He hesitated, as it
unwilling to leave the hope of rescue af
forded by the o]ien road, and looked wist
fully up and down to see if he could de
tect a traveler in sight. I understood hi:’
object, and r<|xat<-d my order in a per
emptory tone. He remonstrated and ques
tioned me apprehensively as to my pur
]sise. This time I disdain. <1 an answer,
l.ut |K>inted again in the direction 1 would
have him go. and made, at the same time,
a decisive motion with the pistol, which
brought him to my obedience. We went a
few hundred yards till he came to a spot
sheltered from observation, ami 1 hitched
the horse and ordered him to undress. He
then, for the first time, asked me if I was
going to shoot him. the question which he
had evid* ntly withheld lieforo for fear ot
suggesting the danger which he .treaded.
I made him no answer, but ordered him a
second time to turn his back. He .stretch
ed his hands imploringly towards me and
iH’gge.) for time ’o pray Ih-li’t h« df-but
this was not the way ol business, so I re
fused him Hie favor an I told him 1 never
had time to address heaven for myself and
I was sure I could not find time to hear him
pray. He turned from me and dropped upon
his knees and I shot him through the back
of the head.”
These are some of the mur-lers to which
the mind of Will Myers has l»een attuned.
Throughout the whole career of Murrell
then* are features which have ingrafted
themselves Into the plans of Myers.
In fact, everything goes to show that

Memphis, Tenn., November tl.--Today's
pro.-e dings in the trial of Smith and Rich

"Butch" Met'arver, the intidel witness, was

: and wanted to know the purpose of the
question, w her tqion General Peters arose
and, addressing the court, but keenly eye
ing the sheriff, who sat in th” witness
stand, delivered an arraignment of that
otl ini. tae like of which was never heard
in a Te’i’iessei- court liefore.
He accused the sheriff of such conduct
■ in the summoning of men for jury service
as made it impossible for the state to s cure
a fair panel to tty th” case, and the lawyer
concluded by charging directly that the
sherd) had used his office to assist the de

I niv <1 with hi- sou’s treachery and perjury
i in evading his duty as a witness.
T>e sheriff listened to tins arraignment

that he is not sincere in staling that he is

was consumed by .he state's effort to in

On a pretty little farm, high up among the
hills of Calhoun county, "tar from the mtid
deiiing crowd,” I.tMJO feet above the Sea,
with only the trees and the hilltops for
their neigli'bors, lives perhaps the most re
markable family that inhabits the boun
daries of Alabama. They are known as
the Sadlers. The family consists of a
brother and four sisters, and the youngest
has already turned her ninety-tirse year.
The eldest is several years more than a
century old. None of them have ever
married.
Tae accompanying picture, which is made
from a phot . graph taken only a few days
ago, gives not only an excellent likeness
of the several members of the ancient
family, but serves to show to some extent
their Environment, their methods and their
Seneral course of life.
The Sadlers were born in the old Domin
ion state, all of them excepting one hav
ing seen the light of day before the seven
teenth century took its flight. In IKII the
family moved to Alabama and estahlish
el themselves in what is now (,'alhoun
county, about fifteen miles east of Annis
ton. Two years later they became pos
sessed of the propt rty on which they now
live and immediately thereupon erected the
log house shown in the sketch, which domi
cile they have since inhabited constantly.

Since the hand which shapes events f’-t

in tlie big universe out-ide. Crowns imxe
fallen, political storms have shaken tie
foundations us the government, tlie mys
teries ot science have yielded to human
knowledge and ingenuity, wars have deso
lated and armies have devastated this fair
country, pn-isiity has come and gone
and has returned again, but none of th<s<
events have served to disturb the tran
quility of this remarkable ’amity.
When the cotton gm was uiveni”*!
Whitney in 1B»’. the eldest child of the
Sadler family was several years «<t age.
When Bonaparte became the first emperor
<>f France the youngest one was one year
old. She was live wm n Fu.ton constructed

In spite of tb” wonderous changes and in
ventions and improvements which time lias
wrought, this virtuous and contented fami
ly has never seen tit to, in any way, retorm
the practices that were in vogue when
their parents taught them how to work.
Tlie clothing winch they wear has always
been made by them from the cotton Which
grows in their iieid or from the wool which
covers tlie backs ot their sheep. The seed
is separated from the iieecy staple by
means of tlie sKilltul lingers of tin mem
bers of this co-operative i.unily. It is then
spun into yarns on the old lime spinning
wneel and weaved into cloth upon a loom
ot ancient pattern.

Tlie meal from which thin brea i is made
is ground between two stones from corn
grown in their patch. Tn y raise enough
c.miestie animals for their own dematius.
Their cooking is done before an open lire
piace as us yore. They are averse to the
u.-e of money. They have no need of it
and will nut receive it into their posses
sion. It any one desires to buy provisions
of inem, for instance, and they have enoug.i
to sjiare. ihe supplies are iro ly given ot
ciieertully loaned, but never sold for monev.
Their dwelling, while it lias the appear
ance of liu king greutb in comfort, is never
theless scrupulously neat, as are the premi
ses about it. Almost all of their personal
propi i’ty was brought witli them li in
Vn g.niu, and as evidence of their carci ill
ness and their correct way us doing tilings,
it may be stated that almost all ol the
huust. lioiil < ffects which they brought with
them from tlieir old hum - are still in their
p. ssession and in daily use. For instance
the wooden Lames, wh.eli are shown in
tne picture sticking irom between two ot
the logs in the front ot the dwelling, and
tin- oi'i grindstone, which is rested against
tne wall, were made two-thirus of a cen
tury ago, up in George Wasliington’s
country.
No member of tins remarkable family
has ever married. It is stated that before
they were grown they imered into a corn
paci to remain single and to live together.
Trudili. n says they were lour exceedingly
handsome girls and were much sought
after by the beaux of their day and neigh
borhood. but that they avoided any en
<ta.lgling alliances, w'ita on.s #;eeption.
The youngest sister—she who who sits at
the right m tile picturt—fell desperately in
love, it. is related, witli a young man of
the olden time. She was then only six
teen. Tit” family entered such a protest
that she repulsed her lover and endeavored
tc blot him from her memory. Her disap
pointment, however, was so great that
her mim! liecame affected ami .she has
never regained her mental equilibrium.
Industrious, cleanly, generous, virtuous,
honest and god-fearing, self sacrificing and
possessed of a large share of the milk of
human kindness, these good old souls have
lived at peace with all men. They have
done their part—they have kept the faith.
Tlie br< ther is ill at this time. It was
with difficulty that lie could summon
strength sufficient to leave his bed and ap
pear in the doorway while the protographer
was making the picture of the group. He
is an old and an honorable man and has
devoted his unselfish life to the comfort
of his sisters. They love him dearly, in
fact the devotion of the members of this
family for each other is beautiful. Friends
realize that the death of one will be fol
lowed closely by the passing away of al’
The realization of this gives comfort rather
than dread to these good old folks.
That the dispenser of all good gifts will
not in His wisdom see fit to separate this
loyal family here nor hereafter, is the
wish of all their friends.

THE SOI Til'S AEW ERA.
Southern Food ProiluetM Io Be Sold to
the West.
From The St. Louis Globe-Democi.it.
The political change in the south this year
is interesting and significant, but there is
still more importance attached t > the fact
that for the first time in her history she is
shipping corn to the north, this explodes
tlie theory that the agricultural conditions
of the southern states tire such as to make
them practically dependent upon the cotton
crop alone for profit and prosperity. There
never was any justification tor such a view,
and it was entertained simply because no
effort was made to disprove it. The experi
ence of tlie present year has demonstrated
that the south cannot only raise sufficient
corn for her own use, but a surplus for sale
outside of her limits. She has produced a
good crop of that great cereal when there
has been a comparative failure ia the
north, which shows that in some respects
her soil ami climate are better adapted to
that purpose than those ct the states here
tofore specially noted for their abundant
output of corn. When Illinois, lowa and
Kansas are buying corn from Alabama,
Georgia and Tennessee, it is time to quit
talking about the inability of the south t >
raise anything but cotton. Siie cannot only
produce corn, but other kinds of grain and
grassts, fruits and vegetables, if she will
but turn her attention to them, and culti
vate them according to intelligent and prac
tical methods.
There is no reason why Hie southern in o
ple should send north for any kind of food
i products, but every reason why they should
* ’
obliged to buy them, as they have so long
been doing. Tne a,;r:< ulturai possibilities
of their stelicn are equal to the same di
ver ideal ion of crops that is known in the
' north, it is only necessary for them to
I abandon their inherited superstition in f.i
--1 vor of c tton as an e.xelusrve product. That
I is all that st-inds in the way of their st: •-
* cess as competitois of th< northern people
I in all branches ■ f farming. It is probably
I true that some of tlieir lands will m” pro-
* dure anyi? i .g <xt ept < ott n in a profitable
' quantity: but th- aggregate a -rec •• of
1 lands of that kind is not large in eompari-
I son with those which can !>e relied up.m
• f<r the e •”< ;jls T>. • ’ >v. of
| makes that crop a losing one in nm t eas s,
i and it is useless to < xpe.-t a higlier price
1 in view of the eoimt nt in- re is • of produc
tion in other countries. If the south is to
tiuive. she must raise less cotton and more
; corn and other things that can be market
ed to better advantage. The fact that she
[ can do s . if site will has been indisputably
<st ai’lished. She is at the beginning- of a
I in w era in her prosperity, provided she
; do s not m gleet to improve the opportunity,
I and to heed the lessons of practical expe
| rietiee. It is simpiy a question of nuking
■ propi r t.se ot’ her extensive and valuable re
: sourc 'S, and < easing to follow the on. -crop
I policy which was all right for a farmer

■ Germans tlie battle of tlie nations, says The
[ Brooklyn Eagle. The number of troops en

i ol Napoleon 1., and from L’.'io.'teo to L’tio.iiao on
ti.at oi .in- alli.-s under I’rmee Sehwartzen
bitrg. Blueher and Bernadotte.
In this awful battle the slain on both sides
amounted to So.eott. and thousands of the
wounded lav for days around th? city, in
the battle of Koniggratz, or Sadowa, July 3,
iscii, fought during tne “seven we. k< war.’’
the allied Austrian and Saxon troops en
gaged amounted to about 2UO.<’’tO men, while
the Prussians, mid r th.-ir king, iiiusterc-i
in round numbers 2Wi,roo combatants. Tlie
total loss of the Austrians, i t; - ., a: lottnte 1

contse, mean that many more men were en
gaged than at Leipsic. In a battle mention

Judah, and Rerah, king of Ethiopia, we are
told that the former ha 1 an army of a thou

exceed the number of other oriental armies.
Darius Codomannus brought into the field a
force of 1,010,000 men near Arbela, where h
wa s finally defeated by Alexander the Great
331 H. C. Xerxes, too. Professor Rawlinson
says, cross* d into Greece with certainly
above 1,000.000 combatants, and Artaxerxes
Mnemon collected 1,2<».000 men to meet the
attack of the younger Cyrus.
Tlie usual proportion of baking powder
to flour is one teaspoonful to a pint, or
two teaspoonfuls to a quart. Owing to
its superior strength an « ven teaspoonful
of Dr. Price’s accomplishes better results
than a rounded or heaping teaspoonful of
any ether brand.
IO CM) IN iHE FU KROWS.
Fayetteville News: Cotton is low and
times are hard, but the farmer who raises
his own meat and broad is not complaining.
Calhoun County Courier: The farmer
who has plenty of corn and some to spare
is in luck and will do well to hold his sur
plus until spring.
Vienna Progress: A popular young lady
was heard to remark a few days ago that
she would “go with no man I ha: did not
vote the democratic ticket.” That's patriot
ism.
Hartwell Sun: Mr. James H. Winter, of
near Bowersville, him trade 4CO bushels of
potatoes. .’itH) bushels of corn'and has plenty
of fat hogs in the pen to kill. Mr. Winter
can afford to raise a-cent cotton.
Buena Vista Patriot: if farmers would
get into the way of buying I for cash ’only,
they would do more to projnute the pros
perity of the whole eountryj than could be
ace mplish d by any other njieans.
Albany Herald: A couple of good-sized
pigs will now letch more In the market
than a bale of cotton. And many of the
Georgia farmers are going ito raise more
pigs and grow s cotton in the future.
Gwinnett Herald: Cotton was selling list
Saturday for less than 5 cents, li’ it con
tinues to decline at the same rate it will
b” only a few yea’s until fanners v ill h ive
i to pay somebody to take it off their
■ hands.
‘ Franklin News: Polities nor religion can
Change the situation, bin th* farmers can
change it by raising their supplies at home.
Therein lies the only solution. Cotton must
be made a surplus crop, it is no longer a
; money crop.
Griffin News: October lias been truly a
' delightful month and Nov mber will be so,
I too. jlaiioween and Thanksgiving and
Christmas are coming. The frost is on |h
| ptinkin’ and the fodder in tile shock. A
! winter of rest and pleasure is before us,
and one feels now that life, after all, is
really worth living.
Walton News: A man from th • country
Saturday said he saw a grown man Hom
tin* country ride out cents on the meiry
go-roi:n<!. whose wife made her breakfast
(hat morning on coffee made of parch 1
meal and cornbread. He drew the con
clusion that the "flying jenny” was not
doing the country much good.
1 Carroll Free Press: W. veatui” the as
sertion that there are more hogs in this
s' . tion than has been for many years pre
vious. It is certainly much e-so r to raise
meat than it is to raise cotton, at ■> vents,
and buy it. The farmer that raises cotton
I to buy his ima< will always complain of
| hard times.
Albany Herald: As a general thin" the
farmers of southwest Georgia are ar t. ti
le diversifying their crops and thus making
their farms more sustaining. As a result
1 t' ey have b id to buy less in the Wiv of
! firm supplies Hiis y< .tr Hl a u formerly, and
! they consequently owe le.-s to the factors
and supply merchants. And another year
will find them more independent the” ever,
for they will not rely num cotton at pres
ent prices to sustain them.
Cochran Telegram: It is now settled th it
in the m :r future several of th” la.g. t of
New l< glands cotton nulls will r< mov»
th» ir plants and begin operations in Georgia
and South Carolina. Tney must get ii’-irer
to the raw material to enable them to < om

I significant. It proves that the N< .v ring
