The iailer says that for several days Bohan non has beeh praying fervently that God would not permit him to die on the gallows, but would put it into the heart of the judge to send hira to the peniten- tiary. He is of the lowest intelligence, and it is said he had been assured by some of his jail companions that his prayer had been answered and he would not be hanged. ! r .

Judge Long left last night for his home in Statesville, He has agreed to ex change courts with Judge Cook next week,, bo that Judge Cook can hold Franklin term at his home, while Judge Long will hold the term of court in Hen derson county at Hendersonville. , Bohannon's counsel gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court which will have the ettect oi .staying nis exe cution, as- the - Supreme. Court cannot hear the case until Oct. 25th at the earliest i Major Charles M Stedman returned from New York yesterday. He left his daughter considerably improved. She was quite sick, howsver, during the greater time that he was in New York. Major Stedman was too anxious 'about his daughter to enter very much into the political excitement which was pre vailing to such a great degree while he was in New York, but he found it im possible not to get a good many side lights on the situation f com his associa tion with the gueats in his hotel. He stopped at the hotel Cadillac, whose proprietor and two sons are Democrats, but declare they will not vote for Hearst But they told Major Stedman that the one hundred employes in the hotel of whom about half were Republicans and the other half Demo crats, would all vote for Hearst. This incident and others of a similar nature, caused Major Stedman to become still further convinced of what he thought all along, namely, that Hearst was ex tremely popular with the laboring peo ple. He does not believe that Hearst will get in Bryan's way for the Demo cratic Presidential nomination in 1908. On the contrary, ho believes that the New York editor will be one of the mightiest factors in Bryan's behalf in 1908. .-' ....." " Sheriff .

The board of alder men at their last meeting re-inforced an old ordinance on the subject of Sun day sales and put it up to the Mayor to decide whether cigars, soft drinks, to bacco etc., are necessities. The Mayor will announce his decree in the matter on Tuesday, and it is highly probable that for a while now, - Greensboro peo ple will have to buy such things on Sat urday nights or stand in with some con venient friend on the quiet for Sunday refreshments it is not expected that the running of street cars will be stopped or the sale of lunches or news papers. ...v ,' ;'.

Besides the promise of a clean midway and a high standard of agricul tural stock and domestic exhibits, there will be a big string of horses.

A novelty in Guilford county political affairs, is the refusal of the Republican committee to have a joint canvass with the Democratic county' candidates. It has always been the rule here for the two sets to go over the county togeth er, taking the sheriff's tax collecting appointments as the r dates. This year the Republican Chairman having re fused to co-operate with Democrats, the latter will make the rounds alone. The political campaign in Guilford county opened at Proximity Friday, when State Treasurer B. R. Lacy, of Raleigh, and E. J. Justice of this city, one of the candidates for the legisla ture from this county, addressed a large crowd of representative citizens of that section in the spacious hall over the Proximity store. Besides a good turn out of the people of Proximity, there were several who went from the city, including county chairman Brown, sec retary Collins and members of the presv Both speakers made a fine im pression and were repeatedly interrup ted by genuine and emphatic applause.

Special Correspondence Raleigh, Oct 1 The Sunshiners had a delightful trip to Fayetteville last Saturday over the Raleigh & Southport Railway, which is certainly one of the best of the new roads in the state. The children enjoyed themselves immensely and so did the Confederate dram corps of L. O. B. Branch Camp, U. C.

The latter were untiring in their attentions and showed all manner of courtesies to the visitors. The Confederate veter- ans there were simply delighted at the presence of the drum corps. President Mills of the Raleigh & Southport Railway was in charge of the train. He iuforme your correspondent that within two weeks a train will be put on from Raleigh through to Wil mington which will make very quick time, leaving Raleigh in the afternoon and making the run through in about four houas, and using the Atlantic & Yadkin division of the Atlantic Coast Line, with which road to be Sure the Raleigh & Southport is on the very friendliest terms. It is quite probable that the Atlantic & Yadkin Division will use the very handsome new pas senger station which Mr. Mills is now completing on Hay Street in the heart of Fayetteville.
