HE JOHN WILSON CASE
DR.
J. L. CARROLL REPLIED
TO CAPT. PATTON.
The nisrlne Protcata Attains)! Two
faiatementa Hade b capl. Pattou
In His Recent Cuuimuulcatlo..
to Ibc Ralelicn "Mtatc Chronicle."
Editor The Citizen: I beg space
enough to respectlully protest against
two things in Capt. T. W. button's ar
ticle in the State Chronicle of the 17th,
concerning the execution ol'John Wilson.
The first thing to which I take excep
tion is the imputation of indiiicrcncc cast
upon the Asheville ministry in regard to
this aian's fate. I know that man; ot
these were interested in the prisoner and
sought bis spiritual good, lie mentions
only the Episcopal and Methodist pas
tors as baring visited him. 1 also went
to see him, and talked with him, and
prayed for him. but the Captain coin
plains that we did only this and then
left bim "in etlect saying now let him be
hanged." What more could we do in
his behalf? Wc found him iu the toils of
the law and we bad to leave him there.
And he complains of five ministers for
refusing ta sivn bis petition for commu
tation of sentence. 1 suppose they did
so because they felt that the ollicers ol
the law charged with the painful duty ot
passing sentence upon the prisoner arc
thoughtful, conscientious men, and un
derstood the case much better than they
d. 1 signed the petition because of my
belief in the prisoner's mental weakness.
The ministers who did not sign it may
not have been so impressed. And 1 did
it, too. being then as 1 am bow iu lull ac
cord with the intelligent and worthy
Presbyterian pastor in his belief in capi
tal punishment.
1 be other thing to which 1 take ex
ception is the relerence to the Baptist
uiiuister who tell in wttn tne sad proces
sion on the way to the place of the exe
cution. It is in the following words:
'Ob the way a Baptist clergymun met
him. "Ah! Wilson, have you been bap
tized?" Vcs, by an Episcopal clergy
man. "Stop, atop, that will never do !
Sheriff, take him out. 1 will break the
ice in this river and immerse run." Oh!
poor feeble body, who can tell the ago
uies you endured for the residue of that
freezing ride ?
Now while having no information
bout this incident except what is here
furnished, 1 venture to assert that this is
not a fair statement of the case. I dc
not believe that any regular Baptist
minister would bavespokcu and acted in
bis way. No sensible Uuptist preucher
holds any such views as to the necessity
of baptism. No one of them would have
assumed the authority thus to stop the
sheriff in the perlormauce of his
duty and order the baptism of the
prisoner. I am very sure that no
Baptist minister, wortdy of the name.
would have baptized him, under the
most lavorablc circumstances, unless
with bis entire consent and upon bis
special request. Our preachers do not
Iways baptize people when they insist
upon it. Like ohn the Baptist they re-
uire that men bring lortb fruits meet
tor repentance
And, then, one would infer from this
statement that this poor prisoner was
not only tne victim ot a baptism by
force, from which the sheriff and his at
tendants were either unwilling or unable
to deliver him, but that he was sent on
hia way in his wet clothing, to endure
untold agonies in his "poor, feeble body
for the residue of that freezing ride.'
What a brute that "Baptist clergymun'
was! And what a knave, or fool that
sheriff was, thus to allow the heartless
preacher to maltreat "this helpless pris
oner! Why did not Captain fatton
hare him prosecuted for malfeasance in
office i

BINGHAM WATER WORKS,
What the School on the Height
Has to Rely On.
Editor The Citizen: To many per
sons residing in the neighborhood of
Asheville the question of a supply of wa
ter is quite serious one, and the em
ployment of a gentleman of colored per
suasion to furnish a certain number of
pails of water daily at the rate of fifty
cents a week seems to be quite an estab
lished institution around here. A visit
by the writer to the Bingham schools
has been made quite interesting by an
examination of the system of water
works in use there, which seems to be
better adapted to the end contemplated
than is usually found. The spring from
which water is obtained being at the
foot of the bill the use ol a wind mill was,
of course, out of the question, and
steam pump was objectionable. Under
these circumstances a ram was tried, but
it wouldn t ram worth a cent, and was
incontinently "fired." Then a hot air
pumping engine was tried, and it proved
so tatisfnetorory it was exchanged for
one of greater capacity
The water is forced through about
2.000 feet of oipe to an elevation
about 100 feet or more, where is station
ed a small cistern holding a couple
thousand gallons, and when this is filled
the stream is diverted by an ingenious
arrangement through another pipe to
an enormous tank elevated some twenty
or thirty feet above the ground, from
which a sufficient bend ot water may
obtained to render any fear in case of a
fire at the schools needless, rrom an en
gineering standpoint the system of water
works at the scliool seems to De a
that could be desired. E. F. C,
Asheville, Jan. 16, 1892.
The Strike Is Seined.

M. Conatana Said Hia challenger
Had Waited Too Long.
Paris, Jan. 21. M. Lour, the Bou
langist member of the chamber of depu
ties, who was struck by M. Constans,
m inister of the interior, during the stormy
scene iu the chamber on Tuesday, sent
seconds last night with a challenge to
fight a duel. He also took it upon him
self to choose the weapons (pistols) and
other details of the proposed duel.
When the seconds culled at M. Con
stans' house, they were politely informed
that Constans would not sec them. A
messenger added that Constans had in
structed lam to inlorm them that he
would not tight. He bad been kept
waiting too long, and did not intend to
lie all his lite at the disposal of M. Lour.
When the seconds informed M. Lour of
the result of the errand the latter imme
diately wrote to M. Constans, repeating
the insulting language he used in the
chamber ol deputies.
