A THRILLING FIGHT
Last Night Between a Farmer
Near Rome and
THREE BURLY ‘NEGROES-
The Farmer and One of Them
Fell Into the Fire and Were
Severely Burned.
John Hambrick, living near Rounsa
ville’a Mill, had a thrilling experience last
night".
He Dad a hand-to-hand cot Act with
three negroes, at d in the struggle he and
one of his assailants were badly injured.
It was a terrible battle, but Mr. Ham
brick came out alive. All three of the
would-be robbers escaped.
Mr. Hambrick came to Rome yesterday
with a bale of cotton and sold it. He
returned borne, ai d in the early part of
rhe night was sitting al< ne before a big
fire in his bouse ab"Ut six miles from the
city. Suddenly three burly negroes
broke down the door and rushed in.
. “<4ive us that, money,” they demanded.
“What money?”
“Tnai money you got. for your cotton.
And be quick about it.”
They advanced as they spoke, and in a
moment the four were engaged in a
desperate struggle. Wi'h great courage
and amezing succrss Mr. Hambrick
fought the three. No weapons were
used, aud for many minutes the fight
went on. Up and down the room they
battled, all taking a hand, and the de
fender of his property hold ng h>s own.
There were cries aud curse., and deep
were the oaths of the negroes as they
realized that they had such a fight on
their hands. As they clinched and
fought, they approached the big fi<e
place. Mr. Harnbtick and one of the
negroes were hugging eacn o'her in
deathly cmbrac . The O'hers b-oame
frightened, aud with a shove toward the
fire they ran out of the door.
Mr. Hambrick and his assailant fell
into the fire.
Both leaped from it, and with their
clothing blazing, and yelling in pain the
last of the trio of robbers rushed from
the house.
Mr. Hambiick crawled out only to find
serious burns on tbe left side. The left
arm was rendered useless for the time,
and in great pain he hurried to have help
summoned. All of the assailants bad
posse was soon st-
W.ul was ke

CMr. Hambrick is very seriousiy hurt,
but it is hoped he will recover.

THEY WORE WELL.
Hr. B nnett Bought G ods From Mr. Camp
In 1857.
Mr. J. M. Bennett, of Gordon county,
was in tbe city yesterday.
He wore a silk vest that looked quite
well, and seeing Mr. J. L. Camp, said to
him:
“Do you remember when you were
e'erking in a store in Calhoua in 1857?
Well, I bought this vest from you then,
and paid you $5 for it.”
The vest is of solid silk, and is quite
pretty yet, in spite of thirty-six years of
wear and tear.
“Anu besides this vest,” he continued,
“I have at home a pair of boots I paid you
$lO for at tbe sa.ne time. I have hid
them ever since 1857, and still wear them.
They are almost as good as new.”
Thirty-six y ear’s wear of a vest and a
pair of boots, still good, beats the record,
and Mr. Bennett swears by anything Mr.
Camp recommends.
