Major Morrison stated he came to Ath
ens for the purpose of putting in the
field two engineering corps to surrey the
Q n C. & N.rosd to Atlanta on one side
and the Savannah river on the other. He
was then in quest of a suit of three
rooms, to be used as offices, as this city
would be headquarters for the corps. He
was assisted by Mayor Hodgson. He
stated that in a few days Col. McCtlla,
of Tuscaloosa, Ala^ would Start to ride
over the Atlanta end of the line, with a
visw of selecting the best route for the
engineers; and he would be followed by
some one on the Klberton section, but
the party had not as yet been chosen.

organised corps in the field surveying

and one going in each direction. Me had

JerrxasoM, Jan. 10.—[Special.] Jack-

On Thursday night of Christmas week
the store house belonging to one M. J. C.
the store house belonging to one M. J. U.
Statham, of Santa re district, in this
county, was entered and $100 in money
stolen therefrom. For some cause sus
picion rested on a one-legged man nam
ed W. 0. Shollnut, who lived near where
the store house was, but no further proof
could be had against him. On Sunday
night following, about 1 o’clock, while
Shellnut was at home enjoying nature’s
sweet repose, that comes both to the in
nocent and guilty, he was awakened by
the door being violently broken in, and
nine men, with masks in their faces, to
conceal their features, entered,and pull
ing him from the bed without giving him
time to dress ot bid his weeping and ter
rified wife what both thought a final
farewell, then took him from the house
to a church about 200 yards from his
residence, and a strong ropa was thrown
over a limb, and one end being thrown
around Shellnut's neck, he was dang
ling between the heavens and earth be
fore he had time to even offer up a brief
prayer to liod for the forgiveness of his
sins. After letting him hang until life
was a.most extinct, the rope was slack
ened, and after consciousness returned
an opportunity was given him to confess
the crime and tell where the money was.
This he refused to do, and was strung
up until the crowd thought he was about
gone, wlien a halt was ordered, and two
men dragged him on his face to a large
pine log, "mi bending him acroaa it, held
the victim, while a brawny fellow ad

When the mob had given what they

beaten up. Shellnut says he knows
nothing about the robbery, and only told
his tormentors what he did in order to
save his life. He further says that the
crowd told him if he did not waive a
hearing when his case was investigated
before the J. P., that some one of them
would kill him. Taking it altogether,
the affair has stirred up more excitement
here than anything in a long time. Shell
nut has employed able counsel and
taken out a writ of habeas corpus, which
will be heard before the Ordinary on
Wednesday next, in which he states that
he has never had a legal trial of his case
—that his waiver of the same at the pre
tended trial was obtained by force, and
cannot, therefore, bind him. Warrants
have also been issued for four or five
men who he claims were in the party
that whipped him, and the whole thing
will lie fully investigated in the courts
and justice done all around. For the
take of county pride, we are sorry the
thing happened, for whether gnilty or
not, it was nothing less than an outrage
to whip and maltreat a roan in this way.
Shellnut moved to this county from At
lanta, where he worked for some time on
the capitol, and where his leg was cut
off by I he cars.

Lincoln's Letter to Hooker.
President Lincoln tiled to write long
letters to his military commander, and
copy them himself. Just after Gen. Joe
Hooker had taken command of the Army
of the Potomac a letter was penned, and
while the president yet retained it in his
possession an intimate friend happened to
he in his cabinet one night, and the presi
dent read it to him, remarking: "X shall
not read this to anybody else, but I want
to know how It etrlkee yon." During the
following April or May, whilo the Army
of the Potomac lay opposite Fredericks
burg, this friend accompanied the presi
dent to Gen. Hooker's headquarters on a
visit. One night Gen. Hooker, alone In
hie tent with this gentleman, said: "The
president says that he showed yon this
letter,” and he then tookont that docu
ment, which was closely written on a
eheet of letter paper. The tears stood In
the general’s bright bine eyes as he added:
"It is such a letter as a father might have
written to his son. And yet it hurt me.”
Then, dashing the water from his eyes, he
said: "When I have been to Richmond I
shall have this letter printed.’’ But
"Fighting Joe" never reached Richmond,
and It was sixteen yean before the letter,
which sharply criticised him, found its

is a repetition for the farmers of the ex

discouraging. Had tiie ground thawed

snow the grain would have received; hut
the solid freeze of seventy-two hours
just before the snow leaves no ground
for hope in the premises. Those who
have lost theirfall sowing will, in most
cases, riant iu February, if the conditions
be favorable. Some farmers did not sow
during the fall, prefering to risk the
spring sowing. As the crop has been
winter-killed twice in succession, it is
reasonable to suppose tliat there will lie
a decided disposition hereafter to take
the chances for a spring crop. On good
land or with heavy manuring oats sown
in the spring are about as reliable as
those sown in fall, even when the latter
are not killed, tine thing is certain: An
oat crop is an agricultural necessity in
this section. There is nothing to take
its place.
Some of the Clever Imitations aad Bow
They are Manufactured.
"The number of Imitation diamonds

fashionable jeweler on Broadway to a re
porter.
"What Imltatkms are moat worn?”
"The doable diamond, a clever imita

defective stone ana backing it with tinfoil.
Diamonds of this kind have to be carefully

extremely profitable, bat, of conns, no
reputable dealer can afford to sell any
without injuring hie trade and reputation.
A lapidary, one Rocafino, invented the
‘doublet’ many years ago. He vied a hit
of crystal as a bottom to a mateup, and
painted it with transparent glue. He then
joined together two cheap thin stones, and
produced a gem that appeared finer than
the real. It was not long before his
method wax detected.
"The quarts gems ere popular and come
next to the ’doublets’ in clever counterfeit.
They are gems of course of their kind, bat
not what they ere often sold tor. Quarts
can stand the test of the file, which glass
cannot do, hence its availability. There
are other stones and certain varieties of
topaz which are as hard as diamonds; and
being colorless they are frequently cut and
polished and passed as dlamnnrte of the

Philadelphia, Jan. 9.—A search to
day of the hones which the two old men,
Jacob Perry and Richard Prince, were
found lying dead yesterday, brought to
int of hidden treasure.
Perry was the one wfro owned ell the
riches. He retired from a firm of auc
tioneers several years ago with inde-
undent means and took Price, who was
lis cousin, as a companion. He was
close-fisted and scarcely allewed himself
the necessaries of life. The house. No.

men lived, and where they were found
yesterday lying on the floor dead, ia a
dilapidated two-atory frame, and its in
terior waa even more wretched than its
outward appearance.

Its two occupants never held any com
munication with their neighbors, hat the
neighbors on one cr two occasions man!
fested a deep interest in them far
enough to make complaint to the board
health of their frightful filth. Both
old men appeared on the street clad as
beggars, aud they always looked half-
starved, wretched, drunken and be
sotted.
In an undertaker’s establishment the
bodies of the dead misers lay to-day
death. This appearance was revolting
and showed a frightful condition of per
sonal neglect, The post-mortem exami
nation was made to-diay, and the inquest
will be held on Monday.

AN AGED CHESTNUT.
The Smith.Westmoreland Duel.
We learn thstthere is some little foun
dation for the predicted trouble between
Dr. Westmoreland and CoL Smith. It
seems that nearly a year ago Col. Smith
said somnthing or wrote something about
Dr. Westmoreland, at which he took of
fense. It bad been -o long, however, that
CoLSmiibforgotallaboutiL But it seems
the Doctor kept getting madder and mad
dar, aad a few days lines sent Mr. Wil
liana, of Alabama, to CoL Smith, to d*-
mand a retraction.
“Why,” remarked CoL Smith, “thet
happened nearly a year ago Why didn't
you notice it? The matter had escaped
my mind.”
Mr. Williams said he had been busy fix
ing up hie printing office, and oouldn't at
tend to the affair sooner.
“Well," replied the oionel, “I believe
the Code Doello gives me at long to nuke
make my reply as the offending party
took to notice the objectionable article.”
Mr. William* acknowledged that inch
was the case.
“Then yon can come back in about a
year from pow aad I will have my reply
ready. I am fixing for my crop now, and
hav»*’t much time to fool away oo such
the matter llelow the names we give
attract from the Lon ion Times,
which show* there i* some foundation
for the -L,lenient. We hope that some
of out friends will succeed in getting a

certainly a- good an opportunity as any
one else There is no d. uht about the
money bring there, if ihe real owners
last no longer use the hammer. It Is
gadously suggested that. In view of this
disastrous state of things, everybody
should have a second calling to fall back
upon when the first gives out.—Boston
Budget
TobaccoCultcbe.—Above Athens two
years ago tliere was quite an interest man
ifested in tobacco planting, and some
farmers hoped that this crop would
prove a great blessing to them. After
one year’s trial the experiment wa-
dropped suddenly, snd last spring very
little tobacco was planted. This year
there will be less. The change from cot
ton to tobacco is jumping out of the fry
ing-pen into the firt*. The man who
plants either crop extensively must have
his corn-crib and smoke-house in the
West, and that will rum anyone who
sticks to it long. The lion. '1 homas 1).
Johnson, of Abbeville, says that tobacco
planting waa impoverishing the farmers
of Buncombe and adjoining counties. In
former years they had corn and bacon
and stock for sale, now tbov buy all
these things from abroad anil depend on
the tobacco to supply the money.

SUFFERING OF A FAMILY-
ClureriuV*
means to ask for * further reprise, and
NOT po*3ibly renew the request of Mr. Willie'
Murorius that the Governor go to the
" to talk to tho condemned man. Mr.
illie Cluverius asked of the Governor
favor of keeping their correspond
ence on this subject from the public, and
Governor has done so; nevertheless
is well known th*t4he Governor was
6rm in declining the interview because
could not believe that it would result
throwing any additional light on the
case.
CLUVERITT8’ SPIRITUAL COKMTtOV.
The Governor's reprieve from Decern-
10th to .January 14th, waa only
granted upon the earnest solicitation of
~ Hatcher, who represented that Clu
verius had been, up to that time, ao en
grossed in preparing his case for execu
tive action that really he had not had the
necessary time for spiritual preparation*
The same can be said now.
Cluverius lias from the beginning de
luded himself with false hopes. When
was arrested and brought here to
Richmond he said that he did not know
what hit friends would think when they
heard that he was arrested on auch *
>ve charge; M but,” he added, “it will
all right to-morrow when 1 go before
the police justice.” He seemed confi
dent of an acquittal by the jury; thought
surely he was going to get a new trial
from the supreme court; believed that
the supreme court would grant him are-
hearing; and, finally, put his trust in tha
Governor. He produced no evidence to
show that the jury and the courts erred,
and consequently the Governor could not
interfere.
And yet ho hopes.
TIIK LEGISLATURE.
So far as his appeal to the members of
the General Assembly is concerned, that
has been a great failure. What could
he have expected of the Legislature any
how? Not more than a seventh or n
sixth of the members have responded
favorably to the appeal. If a majority
of them tiad joined in a petition to the
Governor for a further reprieve, it is not
all certain that the Governor would
have felt obligated, even in courtesy, to
defer to their wishes. Thev have not
informed themselves about the case. The
Governor has. It is a matter not for
legislative action; but for judicial and
executive.
kluOue
say it) that unless there is some remark
able revelation made the sentence of the
law will most certainly be executed on
the 14th instant.
Cluverius' book has not yet been dis
posed of, nor has any arrangement been
made for publishing it.
Yesterday the prisoner was as calm
and cheerful as usual. His face shows
few marks of anxiety, and remembering
that he has been imprisoned since March
19, 1885, he is strong and healthy look
ing for a man of his slight physique.
FIGHTING THE KNIGHTS.
PROVIDE FOR THEM.
Oar Factory Children Want an Edn
cation—Would Not the Establish
ment of n Night School Accemylisb
BlnehY
Is it not within the province of the
Board of Education to take some step
whereby those of the factory children
who want an education can obtain it?
We throw out this query in the way of a
suggestion. The chief reason for estab
lishing free schools is to educate those
who are not able to pay tuition, aud thus
elevate the intellectual standard of the
country. There are in our city a large
number of children of poor people, who
require their services during the day to
enable them to make a living. This
class is debarred from the privilege of
attending our dty schools, and they are
the most deserving objects ef their ad
vantages. Now, if oao or two night
schools were established in convenient
portions of the city where these children
could attend them when their
day's laeor is over, it seems to ns that
yeat end would be reached. Weaskthe
loxrd of Education in our city to con
aider the matter, and if they can da so to
act on iL A few hour* at night, after the
toil of the day, would not be too great
burthen on the children, and then the
manner of conducting our city school*
makes attendance at them a source of
pleasure instead of labor. Let us have
one night school, by all means, as an ex-

doctrirfes that threaten the very exis

He then, without specifically naming
any particular organization, gives a
scathing denunciation, which is clearly
aimed at the KnichU of Labor, and
adds:
Under the mad and murderous teach
ings of communists and socialists, these
oathbound organizations have had many

have beaten and abused and sometimes
Killed people who only desired to earn a

murdered those whose duty it was to

organizations sre complaining. In view
of these things in the pasL of their ac

probable continuance for some time in
