Killed by Lightning.
On Monday afternoon of last week a young

mony Grove, was struck by lightning, and in
stantly killed. We learn that he was struck

Tlie deceased was asingle man. about 87 years
of age, and the son of Coleman Faribee. His
brother was not more than thirty yards behind
Dim in the lane, we learn, when he was struck.
Ilow true is it that “ in the midst of life we

Fatal Accident.
A colored man named John Bullock was in

rock which penetrated below his chin was
forced through his head, carrying away por

The Late Unfortunate Difficulty In Monroe.
For tho Southern Watchman.
FALSE STATEMENT OF A SHOOTING affair
AT MONBOK, GIVEN BT “ JEROME.”
Monroe, Ga„ May 31,1875.
Editor Southern Watchman .-—There was a
publication in tbe ” Constitution" on tbe 28lb
and 29th iost., pretending to give a true state
ment of a difficulty between the Messrs. E. B.
and Dr. W. S. R Hardman and Charles Har
rison, which statement we give as an nntrntb.
The man,/or tee cannot say gentleman, sign
ing himself “Jerome,’’ has positively told an
unjust falsehood upon tbe Messrs. Hardman,
and we are able to prove what we say. In
the first place, he told a falsehood, when be
said Dr. Hardman uttered imprecations against
Harrison when he approached the door of the
drug store of Messrs. Galloway & Edmonds,
for the witnesses testify oo the commitment
trial, that be was there as a peace-maker, and
not to make war ; for he commanded peace,
as he came to the scene of the difficulty.
Our false opiun-eater, also states that tbe
Messrs. Hardman followed up Mr. Harrison
after going off and arming themselves, as was
supposed ; saying that they would kill him if
they caught him. Now. we can prove that
neither one of tbe Messrs. Hardman bad any
thing like fire arms about his person. In the
next place, ho was mistaken when be said Dr.
Hardman fell to tbe floor when fired upon the
third time.
This illiterate “ Jerome” says Harrison had
sufficient reason to believe that Dr. Hardman
intended killing him when he camo up to the
scene of the difficulty, as he made previous
threats against Harrison. We cannot believe
that “ poor Jerome" ever Heard Dr. Hard
man make a threat against any man; for un
like tho blockhead who signed the infamous
statement, he is a law-abiding, high toned
gentleman, who seoks to undermine nor to
take advantage of no man. The unfortunate
Jerome” says: “Mr. Harrison is a young
man of fair standing in tho town, not being
disposed to Involve bimselfin a difficulty un
necessarily." We do not desire to cast any
reflections on tbe character .of Mr. Harrison,
but we can say wo know of several difficulties
bo was implicated in, and is considered as
rather an over-bearing man in his nature, and
if be will only look back over tbe past and re
fleet but for a moment, be will coincide with
us.
This young man, who protends to be a re
fined lawyer, claiming tbe eloquence and wis
dom of Solomon, says be does not think Mr.
Harrison ** guilty of any offenoe under tbe
law." Mr. ** Jerome’s" mind being so weak,
he does not know wbat be sees with bis own
eyes, much less a thing he does not see. Af
ter the testimony of tbe witnesses, two Intel
ligent officers presiding, bind Mr. Harrison
over to the next term of the Superior Court,
and Mr. Harrison not finding friends to go upon
his bond, was incarcerated in tbe county jail
to await bis doom from His Honor Geo. D.
Rice.
We give this statement from the testimony
of the witnesses.
If Mr. “Jerome” feels disposed he can reply
by siguiug bis name in full. R. Dickkn.
C. L. Smith.
Personally wo know nothing of tbe facts
concerning tbe late unfortunate shooting
scrapo at Monroe. We know the parties nam
ed, but nothing of tbe facts, and, of course,
do not propose to take sides with either par
ty. We know not who tbe anonymous cor
respondent of the Constitution is, and, of
course, have no ill-will towards him. The
reply to his statement being signed by two
responsible names, wo feci no hesitancy in
publishing it. If any injustice has been done
him. we cheerfully give him a showing in will
our columns.
Cure for Hog Cholera.
Our fellow-citizen, Dr. James Camak, in
forms us that he learned, while in Warren
county a few days ago, that bog cholera
had been successfully treated there by simply
mixing bituminous coal dnst with meal, and
feeding it to the animals. Let them eat as
much of-he mixture as they will. It cannot
hurt them, as they will not eat much at one
time. He was assured that this simple reme
dy had never been known to fail.
Would it not be well to try it in chicken
cholera also t
Granger’s Pic-nic, Speaking, Ac.
We regret that owing to a misapprehension
as to tho time—thinking it was the fat in
stead of fourth Thursday in the month—we
did not have a reporter at the Fair Grounds
last Thursday ; on which occasion onr breth
ren tbe Grangers bad a plc-nic, and were fa-
vored with addresses from Col. LeRoy Bioun,
Presidept of the State College of Agriculture,
Sets., and Gen. Wm. M. Browne, Professor in
tbe University of Gegrgia. We hope to be
able to lay both addresses before our readers
at an early day.

Editor Watchman Our town was thrown
into a state of excitement yesterday evening,

Monroe, Ga., May 28tb 1875.
J/r. Editor: Wo bad a very serious affair
>o occur in our city on the 26th inst. A diffi
culty between Dr. W. S. R. Hardman and Mr.
Charles M. Harrison, which resulted in Dr.
Hardman being shot twice—once in tbe right
arm near tbe shoulder joint and another into
his rigbt lung penetrating tbroogh tbe bulk
of the lung and striking againBt the opposite
side of tbe chest; the ball is yet within the
cavity of the lung. Both wounds are severe,
but there is a hope of him recovering. Mr.
Harrison is bow undergoing bis commitment
trial. It is deeply regretted that the difficulty
occurred, as Dr. Hardman was a very eminent
physician.
Professor Westmoreland, of Atlanta, is the
attending physician.

Toccoa Falls--Rope Walking and the Crowd.
Several Thousand Persons Present.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Toccoa. Ga.. May 29,
To-day at 8 o’clock a. m., the excursionists
left Atlanta on the Air-Line road, there being
eleven car loads of people, numbering three
or four hundred. Before the trains reached
Toccoa, about a thousand persons were aboard.
Some of the excursionists were well provided
with lunch baskets, one carrying a basket
whose contents cost an even one hundred dol
lars.
When the crowd had assembled at the falls,
including the people from tho surrounding
country, it numbered thousands.
The rope walking by Halwick wasasnccess

Interesting Account of tho Famous Declaration.
From onr esteemed friend. Dr. Thomas A.
Watkins, of Austin, Texas, we have just re
ceived tbe following, '«hich will be found to
be an interestio^coni ribntkm to onr Centen
nial literature:
Here is what Got. George R. Gilmer says on
the subject in his book called “ Georgians.”
He ceuld have no interest in stating the facta
be does, for be was boro in Virginia, and rear
ed np in Georgia. His associations were al
most entirely with the people of those two
States. None of his relatives were present
when that declaration teas proclaimed:
“ When the resolutions were read, a voice
from tbe crowd called out for “ three cheers,”
and tho whole company shouted three times
and threw their bats in the air. Those resolu
tions were read again and again doring tbe
day, to different companies, desirous of retain
ing in their memories sentiments so congenial
to their feelings. There are still living some
whose parents were in that assembly, and
beard and read tbe resolutions, and from whose
lips they beard the circumstances and senti
ments of this remarkable Declaration.
“ When the chairman of the meeting pnt tbe
question, ‘Who will carry our resolves to the
Congress of tho Confederation t* James Jack,
a bold, enthusiastic man, answered, ’ I will.
Immediately after a lone horseman might have
been seen, with intent look, pressing bis horse
on through the country towards the North.
When James Jack arrived in Philadelphia he
attended tho Congress, and delivered his mes
sage to some of its members. That body took
no notice of it in its proceedings. The majori
ty were not prepared to jeopardize their lives
and property by doing what was treasonable.
Whilst the Declaration of Independence made
by tbe Congress of tbe Confederation, on the
4th of July, 1776, has beon upon tbe lips of
every American upon every return of its anni
versary, tbe Declaration of Independence,
made more than a year before by tbe Mecklen
burg people, remained for a long time unknown
to fame. Tbe fact that a Declaration had been
made was unnoticed in history, unknown to
tbe public, and denied when asserted, until
placed beyond dispute by tbe production of
two copies which had continued in possession
of tbe descendants of persons present when
tbe Declaration was made, and by tbe finding
of a copy which was sent to bis government
by some British officer in tbe Southern colo
nies, and deposited in the colonial office of
London.
“ When liberty triumphed James Jack re
moved from North Carolina to Wilkes county,
Georgia.
“ When be offered to be the bearer to Con
gress of the Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence, Francis Cummings, bis neighbor
and friend, was standing by, full of the spirit
which prompted Jack to act. Young Cum
mings was the floest specimen of manly per
son, noble bead and impressive features in tho
crowd of fiue-lookiog Scotch-Irishmen there.
For fifty years afterwards he might have been
seen on the walls of Zion, and his clarion voice
hoard proclaiming liberty to the fallen sons
and daughters of Adam, enchained in sin, who
would fight the good fight of faith in the form
prescribed by the Presbyterian Church. He
followed bis friend James Jack to Georgia,
His last residence and preaching place was
Greensboro, in that State. William Jack
was for a long time merchant in Augusta, Ga
No trader of that city was ever so confided in
by his old neighbors of the Upper Country.
Patrick Jack, tbe second son of James Jack
joined tbe Methodist Church in 1810. Ho was
colonel in tbe army in tbe war of 1812. He
was once a Presidential elector in Georgia.
He was afterwards elected a general by the
Legislature of one of the military divisions of
Georgia. The late Leroy M. Wiley, of New
York reputed to be one of tbe richest men in
tbe world, is a nephew of the ever-to-be-re
membered James Jack."—Oov. Gilmer's Book
called “ Georgians," pp. 225, 226, 227.
I knew, when I was a young man, Rev. F
Cummings; heard him converse about tbe
Mecklenburg Declaration. I am now proba
bly one of tbe very few now living who has
onversed with and knew any of those who
were present at the time of tbe proclamation
of that document to tbe world. I have seen
Gen. Patrick Jack, tbe son of James Jack, and
beard him converse on tbat subject. Wirt, in bis
Life of Patrick Henry, published iu about tbe
year 1818, mentioned tbat the subject of bis
biography, “ certainly rolled the first ball of
Revolution.” That expression waked up tbe
Rip Van Winkle State,” and made her de
termined to show to tbe world tbat she bad
roiled a ball long before Mr Henry did. Hence,
tbe laudable spirit in North Carolina to “ vindi
cate the truth of history.”

McDermed, up town, was burglariously en

Curiosities of Our Early History.
Tbe occasion of tbe Mecklenburg conten
nial celebration bas inspired research and
broogbt out mueh tbat ebows tbe spirit
and body of those times. Among other
things is a fac simile of a handbill said to
have been distributed in North Carolina pre
vious to tbe year 1800. aad which is the oldest
publication of tbe Mecklenburg Declaration
of Independence, of May 20,1775, yet discov
ered in print in this country. Tbe New York
Herald bas also a fac simile of tbe third page
of the No* York Journal and the General Ad
vertiser.” of June 29, 1775, containing the
freshest advices, bath foreign and domes
tic,” printed aad published by John Holt,
near the Coffee House.” Moat of tbe arti
cles in this fragment of antiquity have peculiar
interest at this time. It appears from tbe
quoted market prices iu the first column tbat
tbe Puritana purchased tbe exiliratiog fluid of
New England rum at 624 cents per bottle.
Next we have five years’ time offered for sale
by an “ indentured servant, by trade a weav
er.” Another advertisement ia s “ Publio
auction—to-morrow, at tbe Merchants’ Coffee
House, will be peremptorily sold a reliable ne
gro boy, about IS years ol age, capable of all
kinds of work, faithful and honest.” This re
calls the fact that slavery at that time was
common in tbe North as well aa the South,
and, as the Herald truly says, negroes were
then valuable iu New York as transferable
property, and were eagerly bought up. Sla
very, it to said, was almost coeval with the
establishment of New York. When the first
fort was being built, in 1625, the Dutch West
India Company promised to allot to eaoh “ Pat-
roon twelve blaek men aod women out of the
prizes in whleh negroes shall be found.” Ne
groes taken on an enomy’a ship were thus
sold there as slaves, irrespective of their for
mer condition. Indians were similarly treat
ed. Slaves were brought indirectly from Af
rica through the Dutch West Indies. Fort
Amsterdam was completed by negro labor.
One of the first prizes taken by tho British
from tbe Dntch was a cargo of slaves, and ae
they held that negroes captured were slaves,
not prisoners of war, then extended the trade
which was so flourishing at the time of this
announcement in Holt’s Journal.
A glimpse of the Uerrora of the indentured
system is also given. The Herald says:
“ An indentured servant was worse treated
at this time than tho negroes were subsequently
treated on Southern plantations. Breach o l

unusual heat and dryness, are invariably
accompanied by extensive derangements of

exerting a powerful influence upon these
various organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for tho purpose equal
to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as
they will speedily remove the dark-colored

loaded, at tho same time stimulating the
