A HARD FIGHT-
AND A WONDEEFUL VICTORY ACHIEVED.
It is not a strange fact that success
attends the efforts of those who dilli
gently apply themselves. Not quite
18 months ago A. L. Hatcher A Co.
commenced business at this place,
when seemingly everything was tinan- 1
"ially against them. To-day they
> stand as the heroes of the greatest :
success ever known in our town. Men 1
who liuve been trading in Augusta j
ami Thomson h II us every day on our
streets that A. L. Hatcher A Co. are
from 10 to 20 per cent, under these
respective markets, after paying i
freight. Mr. A L. Hatcher, the ■
manager, has been well trained in ■
the school of the greatest commercial
teacher in Georgia today—J. P>
White. It is no wonder, then, that
this firm has been successful. Day
after day wagon loads of goods are
hauled away from their place of busi
ess. It is absolutely a thing of the
past to see a farmer’s wagon drive up
to the depot and get supplies. Wo
can from years of business connec
nectious, safely recommend them to
the trading public as men of houest
dealing, such as good weights, good
goods ami perfect satisfaction. Their
farming implements department in
cludes every conceivable variety of
such goods. In fact, everything in
groceries, hardware, tinware, crock
ery and farming implements can be
found at their place of business.
SUDDEN DEATH-
Augusta Chronicle of the 15th inst:
Our city was saddened yesterdi\y
when the intelligence became gener
ally known that Mr. W S. Ligon, one
of the visitors from Anderson, had
suddenly died at the Planters Hole).
He attended the ball the night before
and retired late, apparently in the
bei-t of health. About 8 o’clock ves
terday morning bis wife noticed that
be was suffering and called him, but
without receiving an answer. At ones,
divining that something was wrong,
she began screaming, and several
people in the hotel nt the time, in
cluding a leading physician, rushed
to her assistance. It was scon imme
diately that Mr. Ligon was in a dying
condition, and, although every possi
ble effort was made to relieve him, he
expired in a few minutes, heart dis
ease having been the cause. It was,
indeed, a terrible blow for his wife
and friends, and has incited much
sympathy and sorrow among our citi
zens. In the prime of life, with u
bright and joyous future before him,
his death is made doubly sad by the
fact that his visit to Augusta was in
pursuit of recreation and pleasure.—
Mr. Ligon was fully six feet high.with
sandy beard and hair, having quite a
handsome and imposing physique. In
Anderson he was a prominent citizen,
highly honored and esteemed. He
was engaged in general merchandis
ing,.doing an extensive business, and
was also Treasurer of the Savannah
Valley railroad. A son of Professor
Ligon, of Anderson, he was the eldest
of tight children, being 32 years of
age, and from infancy to the present
has a’ways borne the confidence ami
best wishes of the community.
CLUVERIUS MEETS HIS FATE
HE DIES PROTESTING HIS INNOCENCE.
Richmond, Va, January 14
Thomae Judson Cluverius, convicted
of the murder of Fannie Lillian
Madison, was hangd in the city Jail
to-day. As early as 9 a. m. people
began to gather in the vicinity, and
by noon every approach to the jail
was packed with human beings.
Housetops and hillsides near the jail
from which a sight into the jail yard
could be had, were also crowded. Ad
mission to{ the jail was only had
through tickets hsued by City Ser
geant Smith, who, admitted over two
hundred persons.
The prisoner passed a sleepless
1 night, most of his time being spirit
with Beverly Crump, one of his coun
sei, who has done everything to save
| or extend his life, and who remained I
with him till 2a. in. From that time
until 6 o’clock he was engaged in
prayer, and at intervals singing
hymns. From 6 o’clock until 9 he
slept soundly, and then nr »e aud ate

1 a breakfast of tenderloin beefsteak,
mushrooms and egg omelet.
During the morning hours there
was much speculation us to whether
the Governor would further reprieve
him, mid that question was not finally
settled until some time in the iitter
’ noon, when Mr. Crump, who had been
to see the Governor, returned to the
'jail and announced that the executive
power would not be interposed.
Rev. Dr. Wm E. Hatcher came to
the jail about 11 o’clock and rmnaiued
with the prisoner to the last, adminis
tering religious consolation and pray
ing with the prisoner.
At noon a suit of new black clothes
was brought to the jail. The prisoner
donned them, and at two minutes to
1 the death procession was formed,
consisting of Sergeant Smith, two de
puties, Rev. I>r Hatcher and the
prisoner, the latter having his hands
tied in front ami his body, from neck
to ankles, enveloped in an old-fashion
ed lady 's water-proof cloak. From the
cell the march progressed along the
corridor mid down two Hights of stairs
to the lower corridor of the jail, and
then into the yard fronting the cells
of the white prisoners, forty police
men being on hand to keep back the
crowd.
The prisoner, though thin and pale,
moved with steady steps to the scaf
fold, which he ascended in the sama
quiet manner, and stood on the trap.
Sergeant Smith then rend the warrant
and a copy of the judgment of the
court, which the piisouer listened to
with bowed head and apparent close
attention. When the sergeant had
concluded, he asked the doomed man
if lie had anything to say, and Cluve
rius replied: •
“NO, Sin; NOTHING AT ALL,"
his voice being scarcely audible. Dr.
Hatcher then knelt mid offered a
feeling mid fervent prayer, mid when
he had finished Im turned to the
prisoner, who snid a few words in a
low tone, and Dr. Hatcher, turning
to the crowd in the yard, said: “I am
requested by the prisoner to utter one
wor I for him, and that is that in this
moment of death he carries to the
grave no feeling of ill will towards
any mun on earth.”
Dr. Hat her then left the scaffold,
raising both hands ns he went out. -
Hu said the prisoner had assorted his
innocence to the last, just before leav
ing the cell.
When Dr. Hatcher had gone Depu
ty Sergeant Allen tied the prisoner's
knees tightly together, put the rope
around his neck, and adjusted the
black cap and hood. Everything be
ing ready. Sergeant Smith gave the
signal, and at eight minutes after 1
o’clock
THE TRAP WAS SPRUNG.
sudden swish, the clank of the
falling trap-door, and the next instant
the body of Cluverius was at the end
of the rope over ten feet below where
he had been standing. The rope, which
was made of parti-colored silk
stretched over a foot, and the toes of
the hanged man nearly touched the
pavement beneath. A minute of
quiet mid then there was considerable
struggling, indicating that death was
being produced by strangulation.—
After sixteen minutes the physicians
pronounced him dead, and twenty
minutds after the trap was swung the
body was taken down oud placed in
a plain wooden coffin, and turned over
to the undertaker to be prepared for
burial at his former home in King
and Queen county.
