PLEDGER IN TROUBLE.
Be Curses Out a White Gentlemen end then
JLeeres the City.
We learn, from Mr. T. P. Oliver,
tlie following particulars of a liilllcul-
ty tliatvenllettian bail yesterday with
W. A. Pledger, surveyor of the At
lanta custom house. It seems that
Pledger ai.>d some of his friends hired
an omnibus from Mr. Olive.-, lor the
purpose of visiting the convict farm in
Oglethorpe and getting a prisoner that
the go . ernor had pardoned, aud agreed
ver only $8. Yesterday Pledger again
came to the stable and said he wauted
to hire a buggy to show his frieud
over the city. Mr. Oliver told him his
chaige was $1.75, and he oonld keep
it half a day for $2. Pledger demurred
at the price, but started to get in. Mr.
Oliver then remarked to him that he
wanted 'no after dispute about the
price, and asked if be intended to pay
the charge. Pledger said he intended
only to pay |1, ana started to get in.
Mr. Oliver remarked that he could not
have it at that price, and told the sta
ble boy to detach the horse, to which
Pledger replied that it mane no differ
ence to him, as he would patronize
Gann A Reaves, and was told to do
so. As he walked off Oliver asked
what he intended to do about the bal
ance due on the 'bus hired tbe day be
fore. The reply was that he had paid
alt be intended. From this high
words ensued, which resulted. in
Mr. Oliver ordering Pledger from Ida
stable, to which the latter replied that
he would leave when he got ready
and not before. Upon this Mr. 0.
started into his office to get his gun,
when some friend to Pledger got nim
off, after he had cursed Mr. Oliver
very bitterly, so the bystsnders say.
Pledger then took ont a state warrant
against Oliver, charging him with-
pointing a gun at him, while the city
ordered Pledger arrested for disturb- 1
ing tbe peace, but the police could not
find him, and he has doubtless re
turned to Atlanta. Pledger’s appoint
ment is certainly due to Mr. Speer.
The defiant and lawless attitude of
the blacks lately in Athens are en
couraged by tbe appointment of their
race to high offices over the whites,

The mother of Mr. Joe Thurmond
and the wife of Air. Janies Thurmond,
jr., were in Athens yesterday, and we
had tlie pleasure of conversing with
them in our office. Both of these la
dies are iu deep distress over this un
fortunate affair, and the former spoke
freely of the devotion of her son to his
parents and family, and said he was
loo brave and ho jest a man tooommit
t lie crime charged against him. 8he
says her son has a beautiful home, was
doing well, but now, on the Unsup
ported testimony of a drunken negro,
is forced to leave not only his proper
ty but two little motherless children.
We deeply sympathise with these la
dies in their trouble, and ask oUr read
ers to carefully study the communica
tion in the defense of the unfortunate
utau, published iu another column.
It is written by oue who knew aud
loved him front infancy, and makes a
touching appeal for the veil of charity
to be thrown around one who was
lead by intoxication to violation ofthe
law. Airs. Thurmond assures us tliut
there was no conspiracy on the part
of her sou’s friends to release him on
tlie day of his escape, and we .believe
what she says to be true. AsTo tlie
part taken by the brother, who among
us would not have done as much had
we been in his place? It is one of
those unhappy affairs that metes out
eveu greater to innocent friends than
tlie real trausgressor. Airs. Thurmond
is a heart-broken mother. You can
see it in her srd face. The marks of
silent and deep grief are indellibly
written in her eyes and upon her
cheek. Is tiiere a heart in our city so
callous but what it goes out in sym
pathy to this heart-broken mother?

pressure and scampered away as
though their lives depended npon get
ting distance between the gentleman
and themselves.
The loud explosions that are daily
heard in the city, reminding the old
soldiers of artillery duels during the
late unpleasantness, are dynamite ex
plosions at the dam by electricity,
blusting up the hard blue granite rock
that is to be used in the Construction.
Dynamite is a far more powerful ex
plosive than gun-powder. It is in re
ality a compound of nitro glycerine
and wood pulp, wherein the nitro
glycerine is absorbed by the pulp.
Yesterday, while talking with Air.
Hill about it, we asked why he used
dynamite instead of powder, when he
replied:
“Because for equal weight it lias
from five to seven times the strength
of powder, and the pulp renders it
sufe—iu fact, much safer than pow
der. Thedynamite thatyou saw these
negroes scampering away from just
now was equal to a keg of powder.”
“But they were mistaken about fire
exploding it?”
“Of course they were, but they
didn’t know any better. Any aniount
of it can be burned as safely as if It
were rosin. I burned up a pound of it
the other day as an experiment.”
“How does it come?” 11 ••
“In a roll about one and a liulf
Indies in diameter and about eight
indies iu length, and is covered with
oil canvas.” * ‘ ' " •• “
“Water does not affect it, then?”
No, not at all. Many ofthe dis
charges you heur are under the water,
it is quite usual to drop a charge of it
into a hole and pour water over it as
tamping; usually sand is {loured over
it loosely.’!.:: : •
“Is it easily exploded?” in
“Not unless the proper methods are
used. ..It is exploded by concussion,
but it requires considerable force.
Dropplug a charge will not explode It,
and it is said that if thrown forty feet
into 4he air aud allowed to fall on
rocks, it would not be at all dangerous.
Two'charges laid ..side, by aide, and
one discharged will not explode the
other a distance apart,, greater than
three feet.” :. . i-.m * -n*w
“Howdo you manage to explode it?”
“We explode it with powerful caps
filled with fulminate-of ihercury,
equal in power to about two ordinary
pistol charges. The cap is fired ei
ther by a fuse or by electricity, which
in turn never fails to explode the dyn
amite. We use electricity, as it is
safer and more certain-than aTuse.
And again, when' fired by electricity
many charges are connected in one
circuit and all go off. at exactly the
same instant. Many of the loudest
discharges that you hear down here
at the mill area half dozen or more,
which sound as one.” . * - •: * -
“What direction does the force
take?” ii icjsi
“The force of a dynamite explosion
Is about all downward and tears and
splinters rocks where powder would
have no effect By the way, I see
that dynamite is fast toking the place
of gunpowder in useiu mlniug opera
tions, being much more efficient and
desirable, as well os safer.”
“Do you use a great deal of It-?”
“We have so far used about two hun
dred pounds. We have about six hun
dred pounds of it in the magazine, and
if it were to blow -up, the people of
Columbus would think “judgment
day” had come. It would shake up
the Euquirer-Sun office until tlie type
would leap from one box to tbe other,
and the printer would have the big
gest pi that was ever set before them.”
Here the reporter was so badly
frightened at the thoughts of a “shak
ing up” that if Mr. Hill gave any fur
ther information his nerves were too
badly shaken to get it. This is enough,
however, to show what a powerful
thing is dynamite. >- ‘«tT
