JAILBIRDS SEEK FLIGHT.
GEORGE GENTRY NEARLY ES
CAPES AT CARROLLTON.
Blx Other Dangerous Malefactors Also
in the Scheme—Gentry Only Gets
Fifty Yards Before Being Overtaken
by the Deputy Sheriff- A Desperate
Fight Given His Pursuers.
Carrollton, Ga., Jan. 10.-George
Gentry, who is confined in Carrollton jail
accused of horse stealing, made a desperate
attempt to join bis brother, Asbury Gentry,
who escaped from the Fulton county jail
acme days ago. Yesterday afternoon George
got out of jail, but was captured after a
fifty yards run aDd is safely behind the bars
again.
Deputy Sheriff Tom New and little Sam
Hewitt. Sheriff Hewitt’s 15-year-old son,
started to feed the prisoners in the jail and
when they unlocked the and or which leads
by a flight of stairs the door was pushed
very hard against Deputy Sheriff New,
knocking him down ten feet on the ground.
GENTRY GETS OUT.
At the same time Gentry jumped to the
grouDd and started on a dead run. Deputy
Sheriff New arose from the ground and
threw the jail key at Gentry and ran after
him, shouting at the same time for Sam
Hewitt to cl *e the jail door, which the boy
did just in time to keep in 8.1 l Hill, who
standing convicted of the murder of Byrd
Perkins two years ago; Frank and Bud
Powell, accused of burglary . Will Jenkins,
nocuted of chicken stealing; Jim Herring
too, with stealing an overcoat, and lien
Mann, who was jailod some days ago for
trying to thiow his wife in a well.
GENTRY SHOWS FIGHT.
Gentry ran only fifty yards before Sheriff
New caught him and a desperate fight look
place between the deputy sheriff and the
desperado Sam Hewitt came to Deputy
News assistance and soon Sheriff Heutt
arrived and Gentry was dragged back to
the jail and locked up in o oel!. From
prisoner, in the jail it was learned that
Gentry made a key out of n water bucket
nud unlocked two doors, which gave him
and all the prisoners in the jail do r pas
sage to the lower door that leads to the
ground, and when the door was unlocked
all this crowd stood on the steps ready to
tun out and would have escaped had it not
been for the presence of mind and almost
superhuman effort of little Sam Hewitt in
shutting the jail door in Hill's face. Hill
weighs 200 pounds, and it is a wonder he did
not knock Sam Hewitt down and join
Gentry on the outside. Mr. Hewitt has
been in the sheriff’s office for eight years,
and has never let a prisoner escape from the
jail but what be waa captured in a short
time. Gentry la very much broken up over
bis failure to get out to join his brother, As
bury.
Tt is reported that Asbury Gentry ap
peared at a residence in the suburbs of Car
rollton last night and called for something
to eat. There is considerable excitement In
town over the supposed visit.
ATLANTA’S HOMif.
The Property May Be Offered to the
City.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10.—The t ustees of
the confederate soldiers’ home will meet in
this city on next Thursday to discuss the
future disposition of tha property iu their
bands, since the legislature refused to accept
it as a state institution. Immediately after
the action of the legis aturo it was the gen
eral sentiment that the home should be sold
and the proceeds returned to those who sub
scribed to it. At any rate these trus
tees who live in Atlanta were
violently opposed to giving the legis
lature another opportunity to refuse
the home, and refl ction has not materially
changed ibis sentiment, though the idea
of selling the property’ and refunding the
money to the donors has about been aban
doned. A plan now on foot is to submit
the same proposition that was made to the
srate to the city of Atlanta, that is mak
ing the home strioily an Atlant > institu
tion, though of course open to all ex-con
federates regardless of their residence iu the
state. Resolutions providing fora commit
tee to look into the feasibility of the ac
ceptance of the home by the city of Atlanta
have already been prepared, and if
the trustees at their meeting
next Thursday approve this plan the
resolutions will be presented to the council
at its next meeting.
Should the trustees agree to give the home
to Atlanta on the terms upon which it was
offered to the state, it Is believed that the
council will accept It readily. Other plans
for the opening of the home ore in prospect
by the trustees, however, and the city of
Atlanta may not be given the opportunity
ot doing for the old soldiers of the state
what the great state of Georgia, through
Us legislature, refused to do.
RATSS ON SHORT HAUIA
The Social Circle Complaint Now
Being Beard.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10. —In the federal
court to-day O. C. Fuller, acting as com
missioner, began taking the testimony of
Hon. Allen Fort in the suit of the Georgia
Railroad Commission against the Georgia,
Western and Atlantto and other roads for
violations of the long and short haul dauso
of the rules of the railroad commission.
The point made in the case, which
is a test case, 10 that these roads
ship freight from Cincinnati to Augusta at
a lower rate than they wilt carry the same
goods from Cincinnati to Serial Circle,
which place is a distance of 100 miles
shorter than the former. Judge Newman
will begin hearing the case next week.
Railroads all over the country are interested
in the decision on this question, as it means
many dollars to them, many dollars lost if
the courts bold that a road cannot charge
less for ha ullng between competitive points
than between intermediate stations.
ATLANTA’S NEW ARMORY.
The City to be Asked to Chip In $lO,-
000 to Help Build It.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10.—Since the propo
sition to build a joint armory for the mili
tary companies of Atlanta was sprung some
time ago it has developed that the Atlanta
military boys are a very slick lot of young
men. The council is to be asked to appro
priate ?10,000 toward building this armory,
and this feature of the proposi
tion bad developed the fact that
the military played a very important
port in the recent municipal election. At a
caucus of the officers of ail the commands,
a letter was prepared and mailed to each
candidate committing biin on the subject of
the appropriation which is to be asked for
at the next meeting of the council proba
bly. , This letter was returned signed by all
the lucky candidates, and in this way the
military has now la black and white the
committed support of all the new members,
which will very probably secure the appro
priation desired.
A Watchman Bhot.
America's, Ga., Jon. 10.—An attempt
was made late last night to assassinate the

ALL ABOUT ADEL.
A Thumb Swells to the Size of a Man's
Arm After Being Bitten
Adel, Ga., Jan. 10.—Detective B. B.
Smith of Houston county arrived here Mon
day morning with James K. Reddick,
whom he had arrested early yesterday
morning at his home in Colquitt county for
making counterfeit silver money. It is re
ported that the prisoner baa been at the
business for a year or two. Detective
Smith secured the material that Reddick
had for making money— mo.ds, such as a
crucible, > abbitiog, plaster of Paris, tin,
etc. Reddick was tried before Justice
Rent? aud committed to jail, and Mr.
Smith Is now on his way to Macon to lock
him up. Reddick intimated to the detect
ive that he would turn state’s evidence
if he would let him go. Or iu other words,
be said to Mr. Smith ‘HI get out of this
scrape I will put you on to several others
who are making counterfeit money in Col
quitt county.”
News reached Adel on Tuesday last that
John Grooms, who was sentenced to hang
on Friday last, aud who escaped from the
Albany jail on Deo. 31 last, bad been seen
near Adel, whereupon ex-Sheriff J. L
Parrish, Marshal Fry and two others went
to catch him. Crooms gu ve them the dodge
and they failed to catch him. It is believed
that he has made hU way into Florida.
(>n Dec. 25 Bush Parrish of Sparks, two
miles north ot Adel, and a Mr. Smith from
North Caiolina, who was working near
Sparks, were enjoyiug Christmas together,
until they dram: a little too much, when
they began to quarrel, wblob terminated in
blows. Parrish struck Smith in the mouth,
whereupon Smith olosed down with a death
grip on Parrish’s thumb with his teeth.
Parrish, however, continued to deal blow
after blow until Smith cried for quarter.
Of course he opened his mouth to speak,
and as be did so Parrish withdrew his
thumb, which was bitten to the bone. From
the time it was bitten it began swelling, and
In a few daye was as large as the natural
size of his arm. It was thought for a while
that he would lose his arm, but Friday Drs.
Goodman and Crawford amputated his
thumb close to the hand, and to-day he is
improving.
Adel is gradually growing. The farmers
in this section of Berrien are in a better
condition than ever before. They nearly
all raise the sea island cotton. The two
brick stores of Messrs Wilks tt Juhan,
which are 25x100 each, will soon be com
pleted, which will bo quite an acquisition to
our little town.
GEORGIA’S SCHOOL CHILDREN.
A Census to Be Taken by the Bte.te
Bonrd of Education.
Atlanta, GA.,Jan. 10.— The state board
of education held an Important meeting in
the office of tho state school commissioner
this morning, at which It was determined to
make an enumeration of the school popula
tion of the state. Under the law such an
enumeration is required every ten years at
least, though not more frequently
than every five years. It has
now been five years since the lot
enumeration, and iu view of the rapid
growth of the sentiment in support of more
general education, tbe board thought it
would be well to know just what the state’s
responsibility is in this respect. Work on
the enumeration, which will be conducted
under the direction of State School Commis
sioner Brad w ell, will begin at once, and th
commissioners are of the opinion that he
will be able to oomplete it by May uex’.
When the last enumeration was made the
sohuol population of the state was 250,090.
It will now probably reach considerably
over 250,000, and the expense of making
the enumeration will amount to $ 15,000 or
$20,000. Besides ordering tbe school census
the board in passing on a case from Cobb
county, which made the point, provided
that hereafter history shall be part of the
curriculum of the common schools of the
state. County boards under the action of
the state bo ird are allowed to prescribe
what history shall be used, but tho use of
some history is made compulsory.
OKEFINOKKE’3 CANAL.
Work on tbe Big Ditch Suspended for
the Present.
Waychoss, Ga., Jan. 10.—The Suwan
nee Canal Company suspended work on tbe
Okoflnokee swamp canal a few weeks ego.
The work was being superintended by T. E.
McDaniel. The company order and him to
suspend work on the canal and take bis
force of hands and go to another place
where a canal is being dug. llow long the
work ou tho Okeflnokee canal will bo de
layed cannot tie ascertained ns yet. The
canal was begun more than two years apo.
The Suwannee Canal Company, knowing
that the swamp contains almost a fabulous
amount ot valuable timber, commenced
digging a canal from tbe source of
the swamp, near Wayoross, to
the St. Mary’s river, with a view to
rafting the timber down the canal into tbe
river and establishing large i-aw-mllls along
the bauks of the river. The scheme has not
been abandoned, but will be rushed to com
pletion as soon as possible.
The canal, when completed, will not only
be a book to tbe company, but it will drain
the swamp and the lauds near the swamp
oan bo drained into the oanal and the farm
ers will be benefited thereby. The lands
near the swamp are rich, but the soil is gen
erally soaked with water. The drainage of
the swamp will develop the farming inter*
ests of that section, and that will help Wav
cross.

The Annual Conference at Ocala
Brought to a Close.
Ocala, Fla., Jan. 10. The annual
Methodist conference of Florida closed its
meeting last night by announcing the au
liual appointments of preachers for 1893. A

through tbe gatherings and great results are
predicted of the conference. Business waa
promptly transacted and tbe sessions un
usually harmonious and lib; le faction

terests of the church. Sunday was a great
day with the denomination, and while ibe
largest audieuoe that ever crowded into the
new Methodist church building was present
to hear Bishop Fitzgerald, several hun
dred wen 6 away disappointed. Tho
“love feast” of tha morning was
a very interesting and impressive service.
Fully thirty preachers gave their experi
ence and anew pledged their heart and
band to the cause of preaching the gospel.
The bishop’s sermon .was a grand effort in
words and had their effect on his large con
gregation.
Conference preachers filled the Baptist,
Presbyterian, Christian and African
Methodist pulpits morning and evening.

much attention was Rev. H. B. Someliau,
the sole representative from Cuba.
Nearly 300 persons have been entertained,
who were present at tbe conference,
by the people of Ocala, and our
guests are delighted with Ooala and the
hospitality of her people.
Tha oue thing that sorely tried the pa
tience of our good housewives was tow to
get servants to do the extra work.
In many cases there were sore trials.
All the acts of tne conference show that
Methodism is flourtibing in Florida and her
more than 20,000 members rejoice in their
growth and influence for good.
