His talk was a wild harangue, composed of oft-, repeated denials of his guilt, abuse of the Jdge, jury, witnesses, sheriff and Mrs. Champion, the woman whom he outraged. He asked if any reporters for the newspapers were present, and when told there was, he said he wanted them to take down every word he said and print it a little performance which would defy the ingenuity of a short-hand writer, even had one been present He said he.

was hung not because he was guilty, but because he was a negro and Mrs. Champion was a white woman. His denunciations of the white people were bitter in the extreme. He said God had forgiven his sins, and he was going straight to heaven and live forever with the angels. The colored ministers, after the harangue, sang, prayed and exhorted, and at 1:38 p.

While he yet continued to talk, or rather howl, and was feeling for the chair in which he had previously been sitting, the trigger was sprung, the trap fell and with a heavy thud, Jesse Davis' body was dangling between earth and heaven. Death ensued in eleven minutes, and was the result of strangulation, his stout short neck being rope proof.

When the drop fell there was much howling and moaning among the negroes present. His body was taken down in thirty minutes after life was declared extinct, and buried at the expenso of the countyj none of the wretch's friend having claimed it, Sheriff Powell transacted the unpleasant duties imposed upon him by virtue of his office in the best manner possible, and was ably assisted by ex sheriff Cullom and several deputies.

B. F. Arrington, has fo several years beeu giving thought and! kud to'rthesubjeieof Sillc and.liaving satwfied'himself of its utility, has decided to embark in this new industry on a large scale.

Arrington has on jthe subjectj-4n he has given it a thorough investigatiori he is impressed with the idea that there is no better climate or soil in the United States for the successful culture ot silk than this section affords, especially the sand hills section on the south side of the' Neuse in this county, where the mulberry grows most vigorously. We are satisfied from all information and. facts before us that this new industry is worthy a trial by our farmers. It is remunerative of this there can i be no doubt. Any rone8hrng to embark' in' the enterprise would do well to communicate with Dr.

Arrington on the subject He generously proposes to order mulberry! trees, one or two years old! or cuttings of the best varieties, also and eggs, at cost.

Mrs. Lottie Deans, grand-mother of ex-sheriff Wm. A. Deans, passed to her long home on Wednesday of last week, liking only three years and a few months of being one hundred old. She had been a most remarkable woman in her life-time and died a good christian, loved and respected by all who knew her, and mourned over by a large host of grand and great grand children.

Her funeral took place Thursday and was very largely attended. Among the mourners were many old people. Elder Mills Howell, himself an octogenarian, preached the funeral, and did so very touchingly. Mrs. Betsey Pate, aged 87, a sister of the deceased, was present, and several others that had entered far into the fourth score of their earthly existence.

I The Newbern iVwf Shell says the sad intelligence reached that city Thursday night of the drowning, of Capt Judge Donald Wood, of the steamer Neuse, plying between that city and Kinston. The steamer was moored at her wharf in Kinston and Capt Wood was attempting to remove a box from the pilot house, on the upper deck, when he tripped and fell into the river, receiving hurts in the fall which probably rendered him uncon scious, and which prevented him from again coming to the surface after he struck the water and jwent down. Efforts were at once, made after a carefu to recover his body, and search of 30 minutes, it was found a short distance from the steam er. When the body was first taken out of the water it Vas thought the heart still beat and physicians who were present at tempted to resuscitate the unfortunate man, but were unsuccessful. Capt Wood was an official member of the Methodist Church in and was a pious, up- light man.

THE Jesse Davis Suffer the Extreme Pen- From the Raleigh Mewa. Smtthfield, June 13. Another sickening gallows scene has been added to the list in our State. This time it happens in this village, but be it known it was not a Johnston county criminal who "for the crime of rape has tasted the strength of i Jesse Davis; a full blooded born and raised in the solitudes of the backwoods portion of Franklin county, made an outrageous assault on a lonely white woman at the dead of night and upon her person, committed the vilest crime known to our laws, for which he was twice tried, and the last time, in this count v. was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged.

The sentence has been carried out after many delays Jesse Davis is in eternity tne law has Deen sausned THE CROWD OP MORBIDLY CURIOUS which flocked to town to wi tress the sad spectacle has dispersed, and the only thing necessary now to com Diet the tale is for your reporter to tell it. iut let me begin at the beeinninir When the year of 1877 was wearily and drearily drawing to a "close, Jesse Davis was employed by Mr. William Fuller, who lives in Franklin county, near the Nash line, to "chon locrs" in his tPnller's) new-ground. Davis "chopped logs' there several days. Jmt across the spring-branch near the new ground, Uvea in a small log house, Mrs.

Margaret Champion, a white woman, whose husband had left her. Mrs. Champion is a very poor but highly respectable lady, bearing a most excellent character. She lived in the house mentioned, almost alone, her only companion being her little child, then not more than eighteen months or two years old. Mrs.

Champion, used water from a spring near the new ground in which Davis was at work, and during the last day of Davis' labors there, she found him several times at the spring when she would go thither for water, but no con versation took place between them. About ten o'clock that night some one knocked at the door of Mrs. Chamion's house and demanded admittance, which being re fused, THE DOOR WAS BURST DOWN, Jesse Davis walked in and boldly told the terrified inmate what his vile purpose was. and then drawing a large knife, he further informed her that he would kill her instantly if she attempted to give an alarm or offered the slightest resistance. Terri fied beyond expression, with no one to protect her and near to help or hear a .9 1.

cry, and witn a dangerous Dutcner-xnne to hold her in subjection, the poor woman could only submit to a brutal outrage and PRAY FOR VENGEANCE. The next day Mrs. Champion related her wrong to a neighbor and then to Dr. Durphy, a magistrate. It being dark in her house at the time the vilhan entered, she could not identify him, but felt sure she would know his voice.

Davis was arrested on a warrant issued by Durphy and being taken in a room with five other men, Mrs Champion was brought in blindfolded and Dr. Durphy asked each of the men questions on various subjects. When Davis REPLIED TO THE QUESTION. which was put to him, Mrs. Champion instantly recognized the voice and faid he is the man.

Davis was sent on, and at the spring term of Franklin Superior court, 1877. he was indicted and put on trial. This hearing resulted in a mis-trial, the jury being unable to agree and standing ten tor conviction and two for acquital. Mr. B.

B. Massenburar, of having been appointed by the court to de fend the prisoner, conducted the case in a masterly manner and did all in his power for tho accused. At the fall term 1878, of the court, on motion of the counsel for defense, the case was moved to Johnson for trial. The trial consumed several days and resulted in a verdict of guilty. An appeal was taken to the Supreme court, and that tribunal sustained the rulings of the lower court, hence, at the last term of our court Judge McKoy resentenced the prisoner to be hanged today.

There are always to be found a plenty of SICKLY SENTIMENT AISTS to sign a petition to the Governor for executive clemency in the case of any criminal, however vile his crime and however clear his guilt. So it was in Davis' case. A petition somewhat numerously signed went up to Governor Jarvis for a commutation ot sentence to life imprisonment but it availed the prisoner nothing. Jesse Davis was a genuine negro, nearly midnight black. He was a heavy thick set man, weighing two hundred and thirty pounds or mcr- He was formerly a slave and was illiterate, though a man of good common sense.

He was forty-five years old and bore about as bad a character as forty-five years of vice could well give a man. Mrs. Champion is a poor woman of unblemished character. She has been twice married and her second husband is still living, having left his wife and child rather than to work for and properly support fcfrem. The execution took place in the jail yard, which is surrounded by a low fence affording no obstruction to the view of the large crowd which gathered around it.

The gallows used is the same one upon which Edwards was hung in February last. It is a stout structure with a large scaffold, and the trap is well arranged on a short set and easily sprung trigger. It stands in the jail yard, surrounded by a low fence in plain view of the whole town and overlooking the court house green. A parcel of colored preachers have had Davis' spiritual matters in hand tor two or three weeks. Last Saturday he was baptized by a colored minister in Neuse river, the sheriff and a posse accompanied them to the river.

A large rope was put around the prisoner's body, at the other end of which the sheriff sat on the bank while the minister was performing the ordinance in the middle of the placid stream. The colored ministers held services in the jail all this morning. Loud and noisy praying and exhorting and very, vehement singing was indulged in, while oh the outside of the iail old negro women, young negro women, men and boys of semi-superstitious and semi-religious temperaments were wildly shouting, moaning, groaning, shaking hands and waving their heads to and fro. exclaiming, seemingly in answer to the excited exhortations of the ministers inside "Yes," "dat's so," "bless God," "gwine home," "Holy Jesus, come down, and other expressions characteristic of the race. The crowd was not near as large as when Edwards was executed, there being one thousand five hundred people on the ground, composed of men, women and children of both colors.

Promptly atone o'clock the prisoner was brought out of jail When he stepped on the ground he said "My friends how is you all? I is very well and gwine home, how's you all?" He was greatly agitated and walked to the scaffold with no little Several preachers, and six officers accompanied the doomed man upon the fatal platform, and the prisoner was seated in a chair. On taking his seat he looked around and asked, Is any my black folks herd from way down in Franklin The following fatal document was then read by the sheriff in clear distinct tones State vs. Jesse Data State of North Carolina To the sheriff of Johnston oounty, Greeting We command you, in obedience to an order of the Superior Court of said county of Johnston, made at Spring Term, A. lo79, of said court, that on Friday, the 13th day of June, A. 1879, between the hours of 10 o'clock a.
