It Is reported here that R. B Sims, i
warden of the prison, will resign his

Advices from Florence are that the I
graves for the condemned men are al- I
ready being dug in the prison grave- '
yard, and warden Sims has nrriard an- I
other rope for the trap. Since he has
ordered only one noose, the plan evi- I
