' The proprietors of the Phonograph at Aycocke's drag store, have just re ceived a number of new pieces, and those who wish to hear them should not delay as the phonograph will leave next Mon day for Wilson. Mr. T. M. Beves, one of our best - countymen, has decided to make Durham his future home, and left on Tuesday for that city. The Times regrets to lose him as a citizen of Franklin, but wishes him great success wherever he may go. Several of our subscribers who were a "little hard up" last year have come in and paid for their paper, and a number of others promised that they would do the same in a short time. That's right don't forget the man that favors you when you "can't come to time." When the list of jurors were called on Monday of last week 35 of the 88 men summoned answered to their names, and the one not answering sent a certificate from his physician 6tating that he was not able to attend. Judge Bynum excused him, and remarked that it was a good showing and spoke w,ell for the prompt ness of the jurors. Drunkards in Bangor, Me., are com pelled to pay, in addition to a fine, fifty cenfa for the ride to the station house in the patrol wapon. Ex. They get rid of paving the extra f fifty eenta hereabouts, as the policemen are geneially substituted for the wagon, and the "tired" man ia taken to the station house by hand and legs. "I predict," said an old timer,' "that within the next month or two this coun fry will H.e a series of great religious re- i.aU. I have never known hard times J ike the present to pass by without being a'-ronipanied by such demonstrations. I natural that they should come, too. i .!i see, when people are prosperous : hey are not so likely to pay attention to f ligi n, but misfortune makes them se rious and makes them realize how weak thiy are. Then, too, religious enthusi asm takes the mind off business-and pre pares one for worldly reverses." There is a valuable suggestion in the following from the-Greenville Reflector: '"It is strange how much some people af fect to know about the way to help out financial troubles, and how far short they themselves come iu practicing the true theory for better times. About the best way to help the finances of your section is to pay what debts you owe, and then the man you pay will be enabled to go and pay somebody he owes, and so on until a great number will be benefitted by the first payment. Less theory and more practice is what the coun try needs." Prof. W. L. Smith, as will be seen in another column, will open a writing Bchool in the Court House on - Monday evening next at 4 o'clock, at which "hour the young ladies' class will be instrticted. At 7.30 he will give lessons to the gentle men. Prof. Smith has taught classes in a number of our neighboring towns, .'and we see from'burexchanges'thai'lie gave general satisfaction everywhere he" has been. His terms are moderate and every one who can should avail themselves of this opportunity to improve theijT hand writing. , - --rSi The following is the valedicfotyof an Alabama paper that flourished (?) in a town where talent was not appreciated. It is something in the nature of a tale- of woe : - s . i w "We this morning print our la stpaperX Oar heart is not broken but our pocket is. It is an impossibility , to print" a- hjgh grade paper in a village where ;the peo-: pie's literary tastes do not rise above the patent medicine almanac, where the mer chant pastes his sds. on tin cans and to get a large circulation, ties the'cans to the tails of dogs.jind the . bond .bloated servants pick their teeth with the "tail rof a dried herring The "Screamer, has labored assiduously to overcome these customs of the dark past, but alas, in vain. ' ' - The Jurjf Out ;Tentj-ne : Honrs. fjlerakt , . as to Bath.'.! Our report last week elosed with the adjournment ef Court Thursday evening, after the- completion of the jury, . On Friday morning the examination of -wit nesses for the State commenced inimedi atelyafter the reading of the minutes of the Court for the previous day. The So licitor, was assisted in- the, prosecution by C. M. Cooke & Son, and as we have said. before the defendants . were ably repre sented by F. S. Spruill aid W."M. Person they, having been assigned by the Court to defend the prisoners. The first witness put upon the stand was Lucy Brewer. Her testimony was substantial ly the same as she gave before the Magis trate, viz: .That the peddler came to' the house where she and her sister lived in Gold Mine township about two hours by sun on the day of the homicide, " and asked to stay all night, which request was granted by cer .sister Pink. Cal Coley was there at the time the peddler, came. Tom came about sunset. All ate sapper together, but just before supper Cal and Tom stepped aside and had a whispering conversation. Just after this the'peddler 4 pulled off Ijis coat and laid down across the bed." Cal and Tom alSo laid down on the same-bed with their clothes -on. About three hours in the night, after the moon had gone down,, the peddler got np, saying that he was hot, and went out and took a seat in the passage. Pretty soon afterwards the Coleys got hp and went to where the peddler was and had some words with him, Cal accusing him of being the man who called him (Cal) a kinky-headed .negro. The jew persist ently denied that he was the man, but Cal insisted that-he was the one, and tak ing the jew by the arm he, with the as sistance of Tom, pushed the jew out of the door, and threw him down upon the ground, and Tom held him while Cal got the ax and struck the jew upon the head striking him two licks. He died 4n few minutes, and the body was taken by the men (the women being forced to go with them) to the woods and covered up with pine straw and leaves. She then told of the finding of the money, the di vision of the articles in the pack, of thei fleeing to Norfolk, via Louisburg, Dur ham, Henderson, &c, and of her return to North Carolina with Tom, and gave an account of herself up to the time of "the finding of the bones of the jew in the woods. She made this statement to sev eral parties, (and they all corroborate Editor.) Pink Williams was put upon the stand and although she had not seen her sister in over 12 months, her testimony corrob orated Lucy's in nearly e'very particula as to the homicide at their house. The State, here rested, and the defense put N. C. Grnpton on the stand. He testified that the peddler came to his house on the day the homicide was said to have been committed and asked to stay all night. He told him that he could probably get lodging at the women's house, about eight hundred yards down the road. I told him they were "loose" characters. He went off towards the house. I know Tom and Cal Coley. It is generally thought that Tom hasn't good sense. J. W. Er- win, J. B Denton, E. J. Lanier and Ar- rarah Jones, testified to. the general char acter of the prisoners. They all said that their characters for peace were good, Cal Coley, One of the prison-rs, was the next to take the stand. . He appeared very nervous. He said that he was about 23 years old. I had been visiting Pink Williams off and on about 4 months. I never saw Tucker, the peddler, but twice, the night of the killing and another time at Mr. Taylor's'in Nashcounty. I was courting Bettie Nelms, he told her I was a kinky-headed negro, and in conse; onence of which she discarded me. was at Pink Williams when the peddler came there. He asked her if he could stay all night. She said jes. Tom came in a short while after the jew came. We all ate supper, and the jew laid down. After awhile he went out and took a Beat in the passage. Tom and I went out soon afterward, and I asked him if he wasn't the man who called me a kinky- headed negro. He disputed mel twice, 'and" arose to make"Hgh and we went to- strong and - very imprest! ve speech for the prisoners.- .Then came C. Mr Cooke, who in a ; very feeling manner related the Circumstances of the great crimerthat had peen committed in this - good 'old county, but congratulated the people up on their . conservatism, in; -not - allowing themselves to take the law into theirown hands.! While the crime was an atrocious one he -was glad that the unfortunate murderers had been, allowed, a fair and mpartiaJ trial before & j ury- of their countrymen. Court here took a until after supper, when F. S. Spraill spoke for the prisoners.. His speech was delivered in his usual pleasant style, and was pronounced by all who heard it to be one of the best speeches ever .made in the. Court House.- . The closing speech for the. State was jnade '. by Solicitor Wooaard. - The .evidence was so strong against the prisoners there was very lit tle speech-making necessary on the part of the State, therefore the Solicitor spoke only a short -time. The Judge was 58 minutes delivering his charge, and the case was given to the jury about 10 o' clock Friday night," They brought in a verdict of. "guilty" of murder as to both prisoners, about -0 o'clock orr Saturdav night. . - y - ' THE PRISONERS SEfTEKCED. ' "On Thursday afternoon the prisoners' were brought in court, and CL M. Cobke representing the State, asked that judg ment be pronounced. F. S. Spruill, counsel for the defendants, arose and made a motion for a new trial. His ar guments were earnest and forcible and his appeals were very touching, but the Judge, after stating good grounds for so doing, overruled the motion. He then' very feelingly referred to the trial of the case, of how ably and well the prisoners bad been defended, and how painful it was to him, in the discharge of his dnty, to hive to pass sentence upon their lives. He warned them that their chances for a new trial or for executive clemency, were exceedingly slim, and beseeched them to make good of the short space of time they had to live upon this earth, in preparing for eternity. And then in a solemn man ner the Judge pronounced the following sentence : "It is adjudged by the Court that the prisoners at the bar, Calvin Coley and Thomas Coley be remanded to the custo dy of H. C. Kearney, Sheriff of Franklin county, to be by him safely kept in the common jail of Franklin county, until Friday, March 2nd, 1894," on which day between the hours of 10 o'clock in the forenoon and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the said H. C. Kearney, Sheriff of Frank lin county, will take the said Calvin Co ley and Thomas Coley, to the place pro vided by the Commissioners of Franklin county for the execution of criminals, and there hang them by the neck until -each of them is dead." An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court by the defendant's counsel, and the case will probably be reached by that tribunal during this month. Althoagh the crowd in town was small, yet the Court room was not long in being filled with people to" hear the death sen tence pronounced. MessrsvW. F. Langley, "X-F, Cox.

The whole surplice choir was present and the musical part of the touching services was full of sympathy and sweet ness. The hymns sung were No. 528 be ginning heard the voice of Jesus say," and 514 beginning "Art thou weary, art thou languid." The remains were borne thence to Oak- dale cemetery and were followed by a large concourse of people. The services at the grave were conducted by Rev.

" The honorary pall-bearers were the vestry of St.' James 'and the vestry of the Church of the Good Shepherd, and the active pall-bearers were young men who were taught and trained by Sister Cecilia in her day school and Sunday School and most of whom were godsons, -viz: Messrs.; William'Spooner, William Harker, Rich ard Spqoner, .
