RENDITION WARRANTS
FOR CRIMINALS IN
South Carolina and Georgia, Ex-
tradition of Fugatives
From Justice.
'T Walhalla, (S. C.) Courier.
In another column will be found
an article from om esteemed t. n-
temporary, Toccoa (Ga.,)
of the 25th instant, containing a
| partial and highly colored statement
°* facts and alleged proceedings
relative to the two bands of “out-
la ' vs which have been operating
on both sides of Tugalo river of
late years.
Sheriff Moss and his deputies
have dischargsd their official duties
faithfully, efficiently and impartial-
ly in the capture of Burgess Lee,
j Kooney Lee and Clint Powell for
whom he had rendition warrants.
\\ hen Al. Thrift arrested Burgess
Lee he was acting as special depu-
ty and under positive instructions
trom the office of Sheriff Moss giv-
en him by Deputy B. R. Moss.
Clint Powell was arrested by depu-
| ty B. R. Moss a tew week’s ago
j on a rendition warrant. The Dep-
uty did so at the risk of his life,
for he had to break open the door
of Powell’s house, and rush in on
him, though Powell was armed
with a double-barrel shot gun.
Every warrant coming from
Georgia to Sheriff Moss for the ar-
rest of South Carolina “despera-
does” has been executed, and the
parties have been surrendered to
the Georgia authorities. Burgess
Lee has been convicted and is now
undergoing the extreme sentence of
fourteen years on the Georgia chain
gang at hard labor. It is said in
this connection by reliable persons
that Lee is there treated more like
a brute than a human being. The
way of the transgressor may now
be hard to him, but Burgess Lee
and his crowd are not the only
transgressors of the law of the land.
R. J. W. Hitt, John Hitt, W.
A. Owen, Jas Haddock, Tiiomas
Jenkins and Lewis Smith, of Hab»
ersham county, Georgia, took the
law into their own hands, crossed
over Tugalo River, went to the
house of Burgess Lee in the night
time, called Lee out and filled his
back full of shot as he fled from
them. There is in the hands of
Solicitor Ansel and the go\ernors
of both South Carolina and Geor-
gia, ample evidence to convict them
and insure their punishment for
crimes committed in Oconee coun-
ty, South Carolina, in the absence
of exculpatory evidence. Tes, the
governors of both states had a full
j ,tatementof the facts in these cases
before signing rendition warrants,
It is only meet and just that viola-
t0 rsof law should be brought to
answer for their crimes, and “Geor-
gians”surely enjoy no special privi-
liges of exemption from their crimes
any more than South Carolinians.
It makes no difference to us on
which side of the Tugalo River an
“outlaw happens to reside, let
hkn be made to answer for his of¬
fenses in the jurisdiction where he
commits them.
Governor Atkinson, of Georgia,
honored the requisition of Gover¬
nor Elierbe of South Carolina, for
the arrest and delivery of the Hitts,
Owens, and Haddock to the law¬
ful authorities of this state. The
extradition warrant has been lodged
with Sheriff A. M. Gribble, of
Habersham county, for some eight
months past. He and his deputies
would come to Sheriff Moss, at
Walhalla, and receive from him the
bodies of the Lees and Powell, and
have the effrontery to say they
could get the Hitts, Owens and
Haddock any day, and yet confess
they had not done so. Finally,
when an appointment was made
with Sheriff Moss to meet him at
Toccoa on Monday, 21st instant, to
receive the bodies of the Hitt’s,
Owens and Haddock, it was appar-
ent that Sheriff Gribble and his
Deputy Minyard were in collusion
with the criminals to prevent their
surrender to Sheriff Moss as the
agent of this state. Sheriff Gribble
and his deputies were directed and
commanded by Governor Atkinson
to be dilligent in the arrest and sur-
render of said defendants. But the
word had been passed down the
line, and a bogus habeas corpus
‘
to P revent their deliver,-. This
was done in the face of the pos i t i ve
man( l ate °f Georgia Code, Sec-
tion 1212, providing that where a
person is held for extradition under
warrant of the Governor the ordi-
nary Is without jurisdiction. If
there is the slightest observance of
the written statute law of Georgia,
or the Act of Congress on the ex-
tradition of criminals, the Hitts,
Owens and Haddock cannot escape
surrender to Sheriff Moss by Sher¬
iff Gribble. If they are innocent
they will not be convicted here,
but if they are guilty, let them an¬
swer as well as other criminals have
done.
Can it be that the editor of the
Record would champion the cause
0 f^ Georgia ^ thugs, outlaws and des-
p eradoe ? w hile crvin g loud f or tIie
punishment of th o Se flailing f rom
the Qt her side of Tugalo river? Sure-
j y not y e ( suc fl j s the course adopt-
'
ed by h im in this instance.
Tote fair, brother, and let the
lawful process issued by the Chiet
1 Executive officers of both states re-
ceive a prompt obedience and faith-
f u i observance, and leave the trial
0 f guilt or innocence to the courts
and juries of those commonwealths,
whose laws have been violated,
As an evidence of the good and
law-abiding qualities of the ac-
cused, let it be noted that Lewis
Smith, since the swearing out of
this warrant, has been killed by
Thomas Jenkins, who is now sere-
J n g a sentence for same in the Geor-
gj u chaingang. “Birds of a feather
flock together, 1 ?
When the Hitts, Owens and
Haddock appear before a jury of
Oconee county we bespeak for them
a fair and impartial trial, notwith-
standing thfeir manifest purpose to
evade appearance here. We have
not gone into the facts of the evi-
dence against them because we
want to see them get an impartial
trial. They are doing themselves
harm by resisting lawful process
and a speedy trial,
If a person is arrested on mere
susp i c ; on f or a n offense committed
in another state, he is held a rea-
sona jfl e time to allow the rendition
warrant, even though a writ of
habeas corpus be sued out for his j
discharge while he is detained on
suspicion. When the Governors
of the respective states act, and an
extradition warrant is issued by the
governor of the state wherein
the fugitive from justice
is found, every law officer j
from a justice of the supreme court
down to the lowest justice of the
peace and constable is bdnnd to
honor the supreme mandate of the
governor for the surrender of the
surrender of the fugitive to the au¬
thorities of the state from which he j
flashed. No enlightened court or
judge would presume for a moment
to,go behind the rendition warrant
Q f ^fl e governor of his state for the
extradition of a fugitive from just-
j ce> Certainly no well informed
judge would ever presume to inquire
j n f 0 ^j ie reasons of the governor for
issumg such a warrant for the pur-
pose of presuming to set it aside
and recon it as naught. Hence we
do not think the editor of the Rec-
ord can be serious when he advises ,
the ordinary and sheriff of his coun¬
ty to disregard the rendition war¬
rants issued by Governor Atkinson
for these prisoners. Does he not |
know that it is the plain, simple, j
imperative duty of Sheriff Gribble !
to submit the rendition warrants in
his hands as his return to the writ
of habeas corpus, and make profer
of his warrant as his authority for
detaining the prisoners until he can
surrender them to W. W. Moss, as
agent of the state of South Caroli¬
na, to be transported thither? Does
he not know that so soon as such
return is made the ordinary or any
other court in Georgia, is shorn of
authority to discharge the prison-
ers and allow them to go hence
without delay?
We had heretofore supposed that
Habersham was only a small coun-
ty j n the great state of Georgia,and
no t that Georga was a small county
j n t he Great State of Habersham,
w hich now seems to very much ex-
erc ised as to law and order on Pan-
t fl er creek. Is it possible that we
could heretofore have been mistak-
en ? We shall not believe so until
vvitness the spectacle of an ordinary
presuming to nullify the supreme
tnandale incorporated in an extadi-
Don warrant signed by the govern-
or ^vhose commission the ordinary
holds. Then,and not till then,will
tfl e tail be found wagging the dog.
Sheriff Moss can afford to rest qui-
e tly on his oars, and await with
dignity for the “authorities” of
Georgia, to-wit : Sheriff Gribble
an d Ordinary Hill, to extricate
“U which they T have unwittingly, the tang '? A but
voluntarily, gotten themselves.
Surely they are about to make a
spectacle of themselves before the
intelligent and law abiding public
of both states. It stands them in
hand to retrace their steps and hew
to the line ot efficient duty, let the
chips fall where they may. Fur-
thur developments are awaited with
interest.

The Beautiful
Toccoa is one of the most pros¬
perous little cities in Georgia. Its
business enterprise
ergy have become too well known
to need extended mention. It is
the trading center of a large area of
thickley populated territorv, and is
the junction of two important rail¬
ways, the Southern and the Tiber-
ton Air Line, gi\...i, ,...v v 1*CU

: *t the depot, running in e\ery di¬
rection. Toccoa has a population
of about 2cxx> and is steadily grow-
ing. It has splendid public schools,
four churches afford ample oppor¬
tunity for those who wish to wor¬
ship ; branches of the most impor¬
tant secret societies are fully organ¬
ized ; the people never goto sleep,
but keep up the hum of business
every day in the year. The Toccoa
auditorium and Tabernacle used for
summer protracted meetings. Lec¬
tures, etc., by the best talent ob¬
tainable is an institution of
which the city is justly proud. Its
meetings furnish pleasure to thou¬
sands of people each year. Toccoa
is well fitted to make a home for all
industrious and enterprising men
and women seeking a location. All
such are welcomed, and letters of
inquire are cheerfully and prompt-
ly answered.
And in addition to the induce-
inents of pleasant atmosphere and
pure, cool water, Toccoa can boast
of her healthfulness. Habetsham
county shows the lowest rate of
mortality of any county in the Uni¬
ted States, and the elevation, per¬
fect drainage, and surroundings of
our town preclude the possibility of
any local cause for disease, and
serve to make invalids recuperate
rapidly.
This section abounds in grand
and beautiful scenery. Toccoa
falls are just two miles away, and
,o
Tallulah Falls And besides these
noted objects there are many spots
of charming verdure, clear, swift-
flowing streams anil abrupt hill-
massive rocks and > awning

rhree miles of town j'ng
The manufact „ r interests of
the town are not many, hut upon
them and other enterprises of a like
character depend, principally, the
future of the town. \\ e have in
operation a furniture factory, which
employs from 75 to 100 hands, a
tannery which employs from 20 to
65 hands. A cotton factory which
employs about 150 hands.
The sociajL^nd business relations
of the people from the North and
from the South, who have freely
mingled together in this region
have always been pleasant, amica¬
ble and friendly. No differences
growing out of sectional feeling
have ever been known, or ever need
occur.
The people of Georgia are warm
hearted, generous and hospitable,
and welcome sober and industrious
people who come to make homes
among them.
The negro population of Haber¬
sham county amounts to only 13
per cent, a decrease of three per
cent between 1880 and 1890.
The town is on the great south¬
ern pleateau of the Blue Ridge
Mountain and lies 1090 feet above
the level of the sea. The high al¬
titude ; the life-giving mountain
breezes; the numberless cool, crys¬
tal springs; the pure, soft water in
wells and streams, and the mild sea¬
sons with their gentle changes, all
combine to make this favored re.
gion the most surpassingly health¬
ful on the face of the earth.
No malaria exists, ami malarial
diseases are unknown in the vicini¬
ty of Toccoa. No epidemic has
tever prevailed
This region is absolutely free

fatal desease has never been epi-
demic in any part of the world
with an altitude of 700 feet or more
above sea level.
During the summer of 1S8S,
when the yellow fever was decima¬
ting the population of Florida, and
spreading consternation among
the cities of northen Alabama,
when it dealt death daily, and in
1893 when Brunswick was devas¬
tated by this dread disease, north
Georgia opened her generous arms
to receive the fear stricken refu¬
gees, even though the yellow
scourge had already attacked them.
The terrified fugitives came by
thousands, came with fever fires
consuming them; came with the
touch of death upon their sallow
faces: came almost hopeless and
desparing—and breathing the pure
air of Georgia’s highlands their
health and strength returned.
And northen Georgia did not suf¬
fer for its generous welcome. The
fever did not spread. No new
cases were reported from contact
with the refugees, and tho ho
caught speedily the infection ey
came, \
