ESfT. A lt of the Governor's appointees appears in this paper.

USST Last week we referred to the necessity of a general clean- - ing up. e are glad to learn our remarks received popular ap- provaland that' they are ' given a local significance,- - which, if rarried into practice, will im prove the condition of Fayette- ville.

Jones' family grocery store by boring the back door. Two prints of a large augur are distinctly seen and in each case nails stepped the cutting.

' H, Dr. Newman an esti- mable gentleman of this, place, owns a fine horse of which he is justly proud. Last week the animal got out of the stable, and while loose some evil-mind- ed person tied a brush to his tail, which so frightened him that lie ran until blood flowed from his nostrils and he is probablydisa- bled for life. The person guilty of the cruel act should be arrested and given the extreme penalty of the law. " IBST An interesting table has been published giving the price of leading articles of commerce and the wages received for ordi nary labor, going as far back as the year 1200. , It shows that wages during the thirteenth cen- tury were about 50 cents a week. In the next century they advanc ed some 15 cents, and continued to advance slowly, until in the last century, they had reached 1 87. The average for farm la bor at present is $3 per week. Wheat in the thirteenth" century averaged 71 cents, or eight and a half days' labor, a bushel. Now wheat is worth, wholesale, about 1 a bushel' or two days' labor. . In six centuries meat has nearly trebled in price, but wa- ges, have increased, more than seven-fol- d. But the essentials of comfortable living have in- creased a dozen fold, and the la- borer can not come as near meet- ing his requirements at the wa- ges now paid as during tlie time he received 50 cents per week. Governor's Appolnt-mcnt- s. Gov. Marks sent to the Sen- ate, at half past 11 o'clock Sat- urday morning, the. following appointments: Superintendent Public In- struction Leon Trousdale, of Shelby-Count- y.

It has been remorse- lessly skinned by almost the entire press of the State from the first day of the session to the present time. This is not just. Let us all wait until tlie work is done, and then judge." ; Per- haps some useful', law. may be enacted. There are some hon- orable, sensible men in the body. Knox Off. ' Hanging of Knox Blartln at Nashville. Nashville, March 28. Be- tween twelve and fifteen thou- sand spectators witnessed the ex- ecution of Ivnox Martin this af- ternoon. The doomed man slept well all last night, rising at six and donning a new suit of black, a present from the doctors to whom he had willed his body. He breakfasted at nine o'clock with the Sisters of Mercy, who administered consolation. When asked by Sheriff Price how he felt, he said "all right," and ask- ed for a glass of wine and to have his picture taken. Both requests were granted. Until to-d- ay he refused all interviews, but about ten o'clock lie called for report-ersan- d ;'" ' ' " MADE A FULL C03TFESSION, Differing in many respects from his previous statement. A3 twelve o'clock approached Martin began "to show some un- easiness, after expressing a de- sire to have the thing over as soon. as possible. , At midday, just" after, his .confession with Father Viele, he was brought out of jail, placed in a large wag- on, and with an escort of forty police, the procession . STAKTED FOB THE SCAFFOLD. An immense crowd of three thousand, which had . for four hours surrounded the Jail, fol- lowed. The route of two miles was filled with men, women and children.', The Intense heat caus- ed great suffering. Martin spoke a word or so only. With a stove- pipe hat set jauntily on his head, he smoked a cigar and calmly watched the crowd. Just after passing a small crCck almost to the scaffold, the wagon PvU. gayQ way,and Martin dropped through to the ground. With a hearty laugh at the episode, Martin re- covered his position, and was soon on the 'ground eyeing the scaffold without visible emotion. Mounting the steps, he stood on the platform, ten feet square. For the first time he trembled. When asked if he desired to say anything, he said no, and knelt in brief prayer with Father Yiele and Brien, receiving absolution. Rising, he nodded his readiness. His feet and hands were tied, tlie black-ca-p placed over his head, and Martin ' - STOOD ON THE TRAP. c Through the cap he thanked the Sheriff, while the priests of fered words of reassurance and hope. . With a stroke of the hatchet the row, was cut, the trap sprung, and Martin fell four and a hall feet. He gave a sin gle shudder, and hung motion less, the neck having evidently been broken. At the end of ten minutes he was pronounced dead, but on account of the Doctors' proposed experiments the Sher- iff would not cut the rope until fifteen minutes passed. As he dropped the Doctors grabbed him. The rope was cut imme- diately; and an effort made to re- lieve the pressure on the spinal cord. Then he was - taken up and hurried to a tent a few hun- dred feet distant. THE DOCTORS WEXT TO WORK. Batteries were attached, and three or four mbbed his chest, arms and legs. In about ten minutes the muscles in his face twitched two or three times, and the body gave three gasps. The legs also exhibited a movement. A dense crowd filled and sur- rounded the tent. The operations were under difficulties, and in half an hour the doctors gave it up. The remains were carted to the College and will undergo dissection. The mother of Mrs. Wittemier, with an eighteen-months-o- ld child of the murder- ed parents in her lap,' and other relatives, from a wagon near the scaffold witnessed the execution, saying they wished to hear what he might say. The babe was found on the breast of the moth- er the morning after the murder. Tribute of Respect. At a regulnr communi'c-alio- of Sulphur Spring Lodge No. 400, Y. and A. M., hfld March 8th, A.

person tied a brush to his tail,which so frightened him that lieran until blood flowed from hisnostrils and he is probablydisa-bled for life. The person guiltyof the cruel act should be arrestedand given the extreme penalty ofthe law. "

IBST An interesting table hasbeen published giving the priceof leading articles of commerceand the wages received for ordinary labor, going as far back asthe year 1200. , It shows thatwages during the thirteenth cen-

tury were about 50 cents a week.In the next century they advanced some 15 cents, and continuedto advance slowly, until in thelast century, they had reached

1 87. The average for farm labor at present is $3 per week.Wheat in the thirteenth" centuryaveraged 71 cents, or eight anda half days' labor, a bushel.Now wheat is worth, wholesale,about 1 a bushel' or two days'labor. . In six centuries meat hasnearly trebled in price, but wa-

ges, have increased, more thanseven-fol- d. But the essentialsof comfortable living have in-

creased a dozen fold, and the la-

borer can not come as near meet-

ing his requirements at the wa-

ges now paid as during tlie timehe received 50 cents per week.

Nashville.

Nashville, March 28. Be-

tween twelve and fifteen thou-sand spectators witnessed the ex-

ecution of Ivnox Martin this af-ternoon. The doomed man sleptwell all last night, rising at sixand donning a new suit of black,a present from the doctors towhom he had willed his body.He breakfasted at nine o'clockwith the Sisters of Mercy, whoadministered consolation. Whenasked by Sheriff Price how hefelt, he said "all right," and ask-ed for a glass of wine and to havehis picture taken. Both requestswere granted. Until to-d- ay herefused all interviews, but aboutten o'clock lie called for report-ersan- d

;'"' ' "

MADE A FULL C03TFESSION,

Differing in many respects fromhis previous statement.

A3 twelve o'clock approachedMartin began "to show some un-

easiness, after expressing a de-

sire to have the thing over assoon. as possible. , At midday,just" after, his .confession withFather Viele, he was broughtout of jail, placed in a large wag-on, and with an escort of fortypolice, the procession. STAKTED FOB THE SCAFFOLD.

An immense crowd of threethousand, which had . for fourhours surrounded the Jail, fol-

lowed. The route of two mileswas filled with men, women andchildren.', The Intense heat caus-ed great suffering. Martin spokea word or so only. With a stove-pipe hat set jauntily on his head,he smoked a cigar and calmlywatched the crowd. Just afterpassing a small crCck almost tothe scaffold, the wagon PvU. gayQway,and Martin dropped throughto the ground. With a heartylaugh at the episode, Martin re-

covered his position, and wassoon on the 'ground eyeing thescaffold without visible emotion.Mounting the steps, he stood onthe platform, ten feet square.For the first time he trembled.When asked if he desired to sayanything, he said no, and kneltin brief prayer with Father Yieleand Brien, receiving absolution.Rising, he nodded his readiness.His feet and hands were tied, tlieblack-ca-p placed over his head,and Martin '

- STOOD ON THE TRAP. c

Through the cap he thankedthe Sheriff, while the priests offered words of reassurance andhope. . With a stroke of thehatchet the row, was cut, thetrap sprung, and Martin fell fourand a hall feet. He gave a single shudder, and hung motionless, the neck having evidentlybeen broken. At the end of tenminutes he was pronounced dead,but on account of the Doctors'proposed experiments the Sher-iff would not cut the rope untilfifteen minutes passed. As hedropped the Doctors grabbedhim. The rope was cut imme-diately; and an effort made to re-

lieve the pressure on the spinalcord. Then he was - taken upand hurried to a tent a few hun-dred feet distant.

THE DOCTORS WEXT TO WORK.Batteries were attached, andthree or four mbbed his chest,arms and legs. In about tenminutes the muscles in his facetwitched two or three times, andthe body gave three gasps. Thelegs also exhibited a movement.A dense crowd filled and sur-rounded the tent. The operationswere under difficulties, and inhalf an hour the doctors gave itup. The remains were carted tothe College and will undergodissection. The mother of Mrs.Wittemier, with an eighteen-months-o- ld

child of the murder-ed parents in her lap,' and otherrelatives, from a wagon near thescaffold witnessed the execution,saying they wished to hear whathe might say. The babe wasfound on the breast of the moth-er the morning after the murder.
