White Man Shot Down la Cold Blood ky Aaotker, Who Most Pay the Death Penalty Sbarp Clash of Coaa- sel Botes of tbeHearlaf. : Special Star Correspondence. Kesahsvillk. N. OL, Nov. . At 7 o'clock this evening the jury In the trial of George Daniels, white, charg ed with the murder of Will Maxwell, also white, In the upper part of the county about a year ago, came Into court and returned a verdict of guilty In the first degree. " At precisely four, c&loctryteterdai afternoon the jury was- empanelled and the evidence at Once began.. The Solicitor was assisted br Carlton & Wllliamv, and the defendant was rep resented by Btevens & Beasley and ex-Judge W. 8. O'B, Robinson. 'Al though the first sentence of the 8tate'a testimony waa met bv vla-arons ob jection, and both aides showed figh-V from tbe start, the trial was by no' meana a humdrum affair and much in terest was manifested; the court bouse being crowded all day. J. A. Powell, coroner. Di- A. J Jones, who made the post mortem of tbe deceased, and F. I Potter, county surveyor, were the first witnessea In troduced by the Btate, the latter as to coroner and Dr. Jones told of the ter ribly mutilated condition of the fsce and breast of the deceased as the result of the gun ahot at close range. Herbert Maxwell, a brother of the deceased, testified that he went to look ror bis brother, in consequence of in formation given 'hloo. and found him dead in tbe woodv, where be was dip pleg turpentine. His turpentine bucket and dipper were near where he was ylsg. One bowl wes filled and another was about iwo-tblrds full. There were 87 shot ia body of deceased. Witness and his two brothers. Albert and Mark. carried deceased home.- Bucket and dipper were only two or three steps from road. Tbe dipper had blood on handle looked like some one had taken bold of It with bloody band. On crojs-examlnation of this witness there was much sparring between counsel and both the witneis and the stenog rapher added to the interest of. the occasion. Witness was pressed tossy exactly what time be found tbe body of bia dead brother in the woods, and replied, "About the middle of tbe morning." "What time was that," was ths question that followed. 'About 9 o'clock." was the answer.. The witness was then probed to know why be did not know the exact time. and he replied quickly and with some rrltation, "Because no one bat an idiot would be caring about tbe time Of day under such circumstances " Here the examination drifted to tbe condition of the woods In the vicinity, the purpose of defend ants being to show that Daniels could- not have seen Maxwell In tne woods from his tobacco barn and could not have gone there for the purpose of commuting the murder. Tne exami nation thua turned to the nature, of the" wounds and tbe defendant's counsel piled questions hot and fast. A dispute arose as to a statement of tho witneis, and Miss Rogers was re quested to refer to her notes, amid mueb contusion among counsel, one was rapidly turning the leaves of ber not e-book, when Judge Robinson po litely suggested that she need not get confused but to take her time. At first she- did not realise that the re mark was addressed to ber, but In a sec ond she looked up and said, "Who, t No, indeed, I'll not get con fused," and the judge's eyes were met 1th a smile which indicated that she ... a . . was neither raneu nor aisconcerieg. 8be then read ber notes and remark ed, "I am sure my notes contain every word the witness said." A smile of approval went around the court room and it was evident that ahe un derstood ber business. Court ad journed until Saturday, 9:30 A. M. Rufus Stroud, the only eye witness to tbe killing, was tbe first witness called for tbe 8tate this morning. He testified that the day before tbe shoot ing Will Maxwell, the deceased, and be were dipping turpentine near George Daniel's bouse and ate dinner at the barn where defendant was curing tobacco. This was on the 3rd of Beptember, 1W3. ua tne next morning about-7 o clock they went back to their work In the same woods. They were about 250 yards from the barn al acout v o'eiocx next morning and witness was about 26 or 27 steps from Will Maxwell when he heard defendant speak, and as be looked up Umlels was standing in the road with ran in hand pointing toward Max well, who was raising up from dtp nine a box!

"You are a d-: n liar, you did, and I am going to kill you for it; throw up our hands." He then shot Maxwell. and witneis ran and Maxwell followed him. He looked back and saw Max well coming behind him. Maxwell ran about 150 yards and fell in two or three steps of witness and sa id 'I am shot" Witneis told him to stop there until he could go tell his folks and he went Immediately to Maxwell's father's housj and told them.

Buisell, of Allegheny, Pa., spoke twice In this city yesterday.' In the afternoon at tbe opera house on "Spir itual Lessons from World's Fair" be was heard by a large audience. In tbe forenoon he conducted a service In memoriam of the two children of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Allen, who died Augast taster aipntn ens. xne memorial fol lows: ' ? The Lord throuih the prophet Jere m'ah sends a mesiage of . consolation for the heart of ever? bereaved parent troftlcg la Him. We read, "A voice was heard in Btmatj, lamentation ar.d biter wtp'nr: Rachel weeping for her children, refusing; to be comforted for ber children, because they .were not. Thus salth tbe Lord: Refrain thr voice from - weeping and tblne ejts from tears, for thy work shall be rr warded, salth tbe Lord: and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.. Jeremiah xxxl, 15-17. Fiva items in our text fasten our at tention: . First.' Sorrow for the dead, which ia universal, as the apostle declares. "The whole creation groaneth and travalleth la pain together." Second. Tbe nature of the comfort described the hope of a resurrection, the hope or tbe recovery of tbe dead They sball come again, they shall be restored to life. Third, That In death our dear ones are in "tne iana oi tne enemy," in harmony" with the apostle's declara tion. "Ine last enemy that shall be de stroyed is death.! 1 Cor. xv 6. Fourth, That the labors of the pa rents in endeavoring to properly rear their children are not lost, "Thy work shall be rewarded." Fifth. Last but not least in Import aceo In this text is the declaration that this ia tbe word of tbe Lord, which cannot be broken-Mho word which is sure of fulfillment, however different It may be from tbe -word of man on this subject. Sorrow for the dead is not a sign of weakness, but rather the reverse a s!ga of love and sympathy, of some thing more than selfishness. If any demonstration of this thoucht were neefssary it la furnlahei us in the statement of the aborted Terse In the Bib'e "Jesus wept." Our Lord's tears were shed on a funeral occasion, too; Lasirus, his friend, the brother of Martha and Mary, was ceao. Uur Lord entered fully into tbe spirit of the occa sion, with a deeper spprro ation of tte awful meaning of tbe word death than could possibly be enur.aiued by those about aim. He appreciated more than any of the fallen, dying race the great blessing and privilege of living, and what a terrible affliction was implied tn death destruction, annihilation. Oa the other hand, bowrvtr, He un derstood more clearly than any of His bearers tne gracious plan of ucd for the rescue of the race from aanlbila t on. He real'zed that for this pur pose He had come into the world, that He might give bis life as the ransom price for father Adam, and thus Inci dentally for every member of tbe Adamlc rsce Involved in destb through tbe first transgression In Eden. Tne Master realsed from the standpoint of His faith In the Father's plan, and His confident intention to carry out His own part In that plan and to lay down His life as our redemption price, that thus resurrection blessings woftld come to everymember of the race. HOT DKAD, BOX SLEXPIHa. L;t ns note carefully the nature of the consolation, whlcb our Lord ten dered to tbe sorrowing ones about Him on this occasion. Let us be as sured that "He who spake as never man spake" gave the soundest and best oomrort. The consolation wnlcn He cave waa that "Lasarua la not dead, but sleepelh." He neither spake of him nor thought of him aa being dead in tbe aenie of annihilation, be cause be bad fun connaence in the divine plan of redemption and In the resurrection blessings resulUnr. Hence the interim of death He spoke of as sleep, quiet, peaceful, restful, waiting sleep. What a wonderful figure Is this, - so frequently used throughout tbe scriptures by all those who trusted In the divine plan of a resurrection morning. Ia tbe Old Testament scrip tures we resd frequently of sleep. Abraham slept with nis fathers, so did Isaac, so did Jscob, bo did all the prophet, ao did all Israel. In tbe New Testament it is the same. Not only did our Lord speak of Liia- rus speaking, but the apostles fre quently uied this same figure of sleep ta . represent their hope In a. resurrection that the dear ones .who went down into death were not anninilated, but aa our text declares. "Will come sgaln from the land of Mbe enemy" will awaken In the res urreetlon morning. Thus of Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Is la written that though stoned to death, he "fell asleep," sweetly, restfnlly, trusting in Jesus and tbe great power which He ultimately would exercise to call forth from tbe power of death all redeemed by the precious blood. This, too, we remember, wss thecomfortthe apostle set before the early cburcb, saying. "Com f art one another with these words" "They that sleep in Jesus shall Uod bring from the dead by Him" (I Thets. lv:14-l&) Referring to the matter on one occasion the apostle remarked, "We shall not all sleep, but we must all be changed. He referred to those would be living at the second coming of Chi is!, whose resurrection change not be pre ceded by a period of sleep, uncon sciousness la death. -- Let us go back to Jesus and tbe sor rowing sisters at Bethany.and hearken to the words of comfort which He ex tended to the bereaved on that occa slon. 'We cannot Imprbve upon the great Teaeher and the lessons which He . presented. Let us hearken to His . conversation with Martha. He Bays:, Thy brother shall live again. He does not say thy brother Is living now. He did not say, as some erroneously tesch to-day, thy brother la more alive. In death man be waa before he died. No. No I The Lord would not thus mock the common sense and reason of His hearer, nor could He thus violate the trutn by de clarlngthat the dead was not dead. Hearken 1 -The Lord admits that a ca lamitr haa befallen tha household. He - says not a word about His friend Lazarus having gone to beaien not an Intimation of the 1904. aorL. On the contrarr be " has !. of sympathy and holds out as tie strongest and only truthful solution of tbe sorrow the hope of a resurrection Thy brother shall live again." "I earths resurrection and tbe LUet" The hops of all the dead centers in Me. Mr death will effect the cancellation of the original Adamlc condemnation, and I shall have the right then In har mony witn the Father's plan to call lonn an the dead frcm the great prison house of death, from tbe tomb. marvel not at this, for the hour Is coming in the.wbich all who are In their craves sball besr the voice of the Bon of Man and shall come forth." John v:23. THK BXSU&KXOTIOa MOBS ISO. At the close of Hla conversation with Martha, explaining that ber hope must center in a resurrection of the dead and that He was the center of that resurrection hone, our Lord asked for-the tomb, intent upon giving an illustration of tbe power which by and by Jn the . resurrection morning wui oe exercised toward the-whole world of mankind. Btandlnsr at the door of tbe tomb our Lord cried In a oud voice. "Lasarua. come forth I" and the dead one came forth he had bten dead, be was quickened by our Lord's power and. authority. This, like other miracles performed bv our dear Redeemer at Hla first . advent, we are particularly toio. was a fore- manifestation of His coming glory and power an advance exhibit of what. He will do at His second ad vent, only that the work at the sec ond advent will be universal, higher, deeper broader every way; "All the niina eyes snail be opened and all tbe deaf eara shall be unatopped ;" all that are In their graves shall come forth, not merely to relapse again into nunc nc si and death, but a permanent recovery not only recovery from the lots of natural sight and hearing, but tbe ejea and ears of their understand- ng belne opened also: not merelv aroused from a sleep of death to a few years more under present conditions, out arousea to tue intent that bv obe dience to the divine arrangement of ire miueniat are all tbe awakened ones may attain to all the glorious perfection, mental, moral and Physi cal, lest throueh Adam's disobedience. Glorous lope of a glorious timet Wbat wor d-r that the apostle speaks of it as "tinea of refreshing from the presence of the Lord when He shall send Jesus Christ." What wonder that be spesks of those years of tbe millennial age as "times of restitution of all things which Ocd bath spoken by tbe mouth of all the boly prophets sicca the world began." Acts iii: 19-2L "Lazarus died aeain. Jairus' daughter died a train, the son of the widow of Nain died again. Their awakening from the tomb was merely a temporary matter, merely an illustration of the Lord's pow er, as it ia written. "These fthings did Jesus and manifested forth His glory." These were merely foregleams of the coming power and- glory . and blessed work of the gracious Prophet, Priest, and King whom Ood has appointed not only tojredeem the world, bat in due time to rrant to every creature a share in the blessings secured by that remdemptlro sacrifice. We cannot here go into de. tails, but we doubt not that amajority of oar hearers have o r fall thought on this subject as presented in millennial dawn, ia which we endeavor to show amongst other things that the great blessing which will ulti mately be tor tne world of raan&ina, as well as for the church, centers in the coming of our Lord and Master, our Re deemer and King, and that the great blessings centering in Him are not mere. ly temporary, but designed of God to be ererlastinir and eternal to those who ac cept divine favors in the right spirit, reverent'y, thankfully, obediently. THE ENEMY'S LAND. Wbv should death be called "The land of the enemy!" Why should it be written. "The last enemy tnat shall be destroyed is death?" All be. cause, disguise the facts as we may, death is an enemy. The suggestion that it is a friend comes not, from the word of God but from false heathen philosophies. The suggestion that it is unreal comes not from the scriptures, but from heathendom. The suggestion that the dead are more alive than they were before they died is totally oat of harmony with the scriptural de claration that the dead know not any thing their sons come to honor and they know it not. and to cusbonor ana- tney perceive it not of them, because there is neither wisdom nor Knowledge nor de vice in the grave whither thou go est. (Job xiv: 21; Eccl. ix:10.) The suggestion that we deceive ourselves and imagine without reason that the moment of death is the moment of greater life is of the ad versary, who contradicted the Lord's statement in Eden to our first parents, and when the Lord bad declared "le shall surely die" for your Bin, declared in contradiction, Ye shall not surely die. The adversary has kept up this false teaching'.! or 6,000 years, and at last not only heathendom is deceived by nis mis representation of facts, but very, very many of Christendom likewise trust to the word of 8atan, "Ye shall not surely die," and believe that the dead are not dead, and respect the testimony of God!s word that the wages of sin is death, that the soul that sinneth shall die, that deatn has passed upon all men because all are sinners, and tnat tne nope oi tne cnurcn as well as the hone for the world lies in the fact that Christ died for our sins and redeemed us from the death sentence, and in the Father s due time is to effect a resurrection of the jlead. Let us comfort our hearts with the true comfort, the substantial comfort of the word of God there shall be a resurrection of the dead.lboth of the lust and of the unjust. All that are in their graves shall hear the voice of the Fon of Man and shall come forth. The thousands of millions who have gone down into the great prison. bouse of death shall be released, because the Great Redeemer has the key, the power, the authority, to open and to bid the prisoners come forth even as the scriptures declare. What a glorious resurrection morning that will be! Wbat a glorious reunion! We understand the scriptural teaching to be that the awakening processes will continue throughout a considerable por tion of the millennial age. the thou and year day of resurrection and restitution. First will come the resurrection -of the church, the 'bride,' the "Lamb's wife,' the "body of Christ." These, as the scriptures declare, will constitute the first resurrection not only first in order or time, bat first in the sense or cniei. ut that company will be none except the sants. as it is written. "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrec tion: on Bucntne second ream nam no power. but they stall be priests of Go I and of ChrLt, and shall reign wittThtm a thousand years. ' (Rev. xx:8.) Never theless thai will be bnt a little flock, as the scriptures declare, i including not many wi e, not many great, not many learned, b t chiefly tbe poor of this world rich in faith, heirs of tiie kingdom I. Cor. 126-27; Jas. t : o. Not long after the first resurrection,tbe glorification of the cou ch, will come the resurrection of tbe ancient worthies the overcomeis of olden times prior to the gospel age. The assurance is that Abraham, sac and Ja ob and all the taly 'jrophets yet. all who were approv ed to uod by tbeir lawn and meir mon toobedien e will come from the tomb to - humam conditions glorious, grand earthly illustrations of tbe heavenly Creator, to constitute tbe earthly repre- NO. 3 sentatives of the heavenly kingdom, the church, to be the instructors of the wor d of mankind. - The instrnc ion of the world will forthwith i roceed. We are assured that "the knowledge of the Lord shall fill the , whole earth as the wa erse cover the, great deep" to such an extent that "They shall teach no morn every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord: for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, saith the Lord." We cannot stop to describe that glorious time and the grand o portu nities it will give to every creature to k ow the Lord, to obey Him, to attain to resurrection in its full significance a raising up to mental, moral and physical prre tion LAST FIKST, FIBS? LAST. After the kingdom of God shall have been fully established in the earth and Satan shall have been bound, after the darkness shall have rolled away and the true light shall have lightened every creature, the time will - come for the awakening of all tbe families of the earth not all at once, but gradually, "they shall come again from the land of the enemy." The scriptures do not go into details on this subject,! they leave much to faith;but give us a firm founda tion for that faith, nevertheless, in tho positive promise of the Lord's word. To' our understanding those who have fallen asleep last will be among the first to De called back from the ! land of the enemy, to be awakened, and thus the work of awakening the sleeping ones will progress backward, aa we might express it; the living ones will prepare for their brothers and sisters and parents, and they in turn for their brothers and sisters and parents, and so on all the way back, until finally father Adam and mother Eve shall come forth to see the world . . filled with . their progeny, In accord with the Lord's original commission that they multiply andfil the earth. - ' They will behold ?with astonishment the showers of blessing that have come upon the race from the heavenly Father and through the heavenlv Savior: they will see What havoo was wrought by meir disobedience, but that God in ilia wisdom and power was both able and willing to overrule the matter and to bring order oat of confusion and resur rection out of death. They and all win realize something of the lengths and breadths and heights and depths of the love of God. The grand plan of salva tion shall loom uj before them; they will see how Abel, their son, who suffered for righteousness, was a type and picture of the great Son of God who suffered for righteousness and for our deliverance, and they will see how His blood speaks peace for all for whom it is shed, speaks forgiveness, speaks a privilege of return to harmony with God. They will learn, too. of the terrible de gradation which came upon tbeir race subsequently, to their deatn; tney will read with appalled hearts and bated breath of the terrible famines and pesti lenes which came upon the race as a part of the original sentence or death arse; they will learn about the mental aberra tions which afflicted tbe world, so that men thought they were doing God s ser vice in persecuting one another because of religious differences of opinion, and cow others, more or less consumed with selfishness, land-hunger, etc., warred and fought and devised engines of de struction against each other, and killed one another by the thousands in battle. I hey will wonder at the patience oi uoa in so long permitting the evil in per mitting this gre t lesson, this great il lustration of what sin will lead to. " Then truly they will sea what God has wrought: First, His justice, which pro vided the great redemption price and would not otherwise clear tbe guilty; second, His love, manifested in the same connection in the giving of His Son: third, they will come to understand how that daring this gospel age God ba? been selecting His church to 'be the bride of Christ and joint heirwim mm in the kingdom; fourth, they W 11 per ceive that when this election was com. plete and the members of the glorified company had all been tried and polished and tested and glorified, then the bless, ing of the world through the glorified Christ, head, and body, came upon all the world of mankind in the times of restitution of all things spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began.

"thy wobk shall be bewabded." Finally dear friends, consid r the Lord's way to as all as a race, and partic ularly His words to parents, "Thy work shall be rewarded." What a blessing and comfort, what a consolation and encour. agement are in these words to tnose par. ents who. seeking to train up their child ren in the way they should go, are sadly wounded and discouraged when me ar. row of death smites down the dear ones they had so loved and cherished. They are disposed at first to Bay, Ah, my love, mv counsel, my motherly care, my f ath. eny provision, were yvutstcu. ju u. uu, saith the Lord: thv works shall be re. i ! . T t-i . r an warded. How rewardedr x on snau Bee fruits of vour labor in the future; we shall know as we are known, by and by. Onr dear ones will be with us, and to whatever extent time and effort will have been expended upon them to mould and fashion them along the Hates of righteousness and truth, upright ness and godliness, these sure ly have not been spent in vain, The . child shall come forth that much more advanced in its mental and moral development, it shall come forth to that much more easy at tainment of the grand heights which the Lord will then open up before it. On the other hand, the parent who has been careless of his children, neglectful of his privileges and obligations as a par ent, will undoubtedly have hisnegli. gence rewarded in the future as he shall see wbat he might nave done ior nis children that he neglected to do.

For who doea not realize that there is no greater privilege or opt port unity for self-development than tha which comes to the parent in his en deavor to train np bis 'children in the war thev should so. in the reverence and admonition of tbe Lord. Undoubtedly it is true, dear friends, that every effort to do good onto - others, especially to your own children, has its compensat ing blessings upon your own hearts. Mag this blessing deepen as the years go on, that your 1 ves may be more and more enriched by the efforts of the past, to live godly, soberly and righteously and to train your children thus; 'and may these experiences through which you have passed more and mor . tend to wean you from tne things of this present life- and to fix your hearts upon tbe eternal hings of tbe life to come.
