HAMMONS RESPITED.
Governor Grants Reprieve Till Sep
tember 2.
Winston, July 20.
Governor Glenn lma granted a
reprieve for J. W. Hammons till |
September 2.
The carpenters have finished
the scaffold, and the rope for the
execution has l)eon secured from
.Sheriff Julian, of Salisbury. It is
a l-inch rope, and about 12 feet in
length. It has been used in
several other executions.
A large number of relatives and
friends of the unfortunate man
have called to see him recently—
some for the last time.
While the writer was talking to
Hammons .Jailer Hanner brought
in Hammon's two nieces from
Stokea county. They were young
girls, just on the verge of woman -
nood, with pale swoot faces and as
j they came forward to greet the
prisoner they broke into sobs.
I The prisoner was visibly moved
and for seve>al moments oi.ly the
sobs of the prisoner and girls were
audible. When the time came to
go the prisoner gave each of them
a picture, and with tears in his
eyes bsdp theiu good-bye for
ever.
()n leaving the prisoner one of
the girls fainted but was soon re
vived,
Among other relatives who
| called was a brother-in-law of tbe
i condemned man.
Regarding the Charges Of Mr. F. G.
Southern.
Gernianton Route 1, ,
July 13.
Editor Reporter:
I want to endorse the stand
taken by Mr. F. G. Southern, in
the Reporter of July Oth, in re
gard to disorderly conduct at i
the church. It is a shame -to any
man who will do it, and when it is
done, the offending party ought to j
be prosecuted. But it a deeper
shaiue and a blacker crime for any
man to fulsely charge an innocent
party with wickedness of any kind
and tliis Mr. Southern does when |
he intimates that the drunken and
disorderly conduct at Flat Shoal
is the result of Sunday School J
instructions.
Mr. Southern surely does nut
read his Bible, for if he did, he i
would know that when we are
taught the word of God, and keep
his commands, we keep tho laws
of the land. Sec. 3(5-72 and all
other sections.
We know that Mr. Southern
does not attend Sunday School,
and therefore, does not know any
thing about them, and lias no
right to spend any opinion uf
them good or bad,
The time is far past when it is
necessary to discuss the merits uf
Sunday School teaching or its
effects for good on the community.
It has long been given up by the
intelligent and unprejudiced that
it is one of the greatest powers for
good in the land and it is strange
in this enlightened day that any
one would allow himself to be
ignorant or vicions enough to cast
a dark insinuation at anything
that sheds such a holy and benign
influence upon the rising genera
tion as the Sunday School docs.

HON. 1, C. BUXTON TO SPEAK.
Will Address the Old Confederate
Soldiers at Danbury Saturday.
August 12.
Indications point to a success
ful meeting of the Old Confeder
ate Soldiers at Danbury, Satur
day August 12.
Hon. J. C. Buxton, of Winston,
and probably other prominent
speakers of State reputation, will
address the meeting.
Mr. Jas. A, Leak is working
very hard to induce every ex-Con
federate to come out to the gather
ing, and it is earnestly hoped
that all will be present and
: have their names enrolled in
the organization. And it is hoped
that every one who is interested
in the old soldiers will attend,
bringing a basket of something to
: cat, and give them a good dinner.
The meeting will be non-politi
cal, and a joyous, good time is ex
pected. The ladies, of course, are
all cordially invited, and everyone
who cares for the old men who
are fast dying out, and for the
nause in which they fought.
Anyone who finds it fnoonven.
ient to attend is invited to send
along a basket of refreshments.
The meeting will be held in the
grove Adjacent to the new M. E,
, Church.
No Reason Why the Young Men
Should Be Less Virtuous Than the
Young Women,
Mr. Editor :
As there has been quite a lot
said through the columns of your
valuable paper on the Temperance
subject, while I have never come
out and expressed my opinion on
this Demon, called liquor, which
is leading so many of our bright
young men, and not only our young
men, but with sorrow, we
niust say it is bringing our old
gray headed fathers down to
degradation and the dark shadows
of death.
Will you not stop for one mo
ment and think of the dear mothers
and sisters who are so anxiously
waiting and longing to see you turn
your path and say, "I will quit
and live a bettor life."
Youug men, I do not know who
nor how many of you spend your
hard earned labor for liquor and
such strong drinks, but I am load
to believe there are a good many
in our country, who had rather
spend their money in this way,
than to give it to their mothers
and sisters, or if you cannot find
anything else to do with it, you
had better just throw it in the fire
at once and then you and your
people, too, will be just as well otf
and far better otf, than if you had
spent it for strong drink.
Now, a word to our young girls.
There is no reason why the young
men of this country should not
be just ns virtuous as its young
women and if the loss of your
society and love be the price they
are forced to pay for vice, they
will not pay it. I admit with sad
ness that not all of our young
women are capable of this high
standard for themselves or others,
but I believe there aro enough of
earnest, thoughtful girls in the
society of our country to work
wonders in the temperance reform
if fully aroused. Will you first
all be so true to yourselves and
God, so pure in your inner and
outer life that you shall have a
right to ask that the young men
with whom you associate and es
pecially those you marry shall be
the same.
But as this is my first attempt
to write on any subject, I must
not say too much for fear I worry
our dear readers.
Success to the Reporter and all
its readers.
