THE BANKER, ATHENS, GEORGIA. JULY 1G, 188fc.
A MOONSHINER.
HOMAN TIC CAREER OF UNCLE
ZEKE DANNIGAN.
How an Old Hall County Blockader Evaded
the Revenue Officers—Living for
Months in a Cave—A Still Under a Dwel
ling With an Outlet in a Public Road-A
ThrlllinglyRomanticStory Told to a Ban
ner Representative by Revenue Agent
Chapman.
Coming lip on the Aire Line train,the
other day, I rode for some distance with
CoL' Chapman, revenue agent for
Georgia and Alabama, and who is as
brave a man as ever lived. He is a A ir-
ginian, and served through the entire
war under Gen. JIahone.
Our conversation turned upon the
moonshiners, and their manner of evad
ing the law.
‘‘The most wonderful character 1
have ever seen,” remarked Col. Chap
man, “is an old man named Ezekiel
Dunnigan, in JIall county, not far dis
tant from Gainesville; He is one of
the oldest and keenest rats in the moon
shine barn, and it was a long time be
fore the boys could catch up with him.
At frequent intervals since the war the
report would be circulated in the settle
ment that ‘Uncle Zeke’ had gone to
Texas, Arkansas or some other distant
State, and the places that knew him
once would know him no longer for
perhaps months, when he would unex
pectedly he seen standing on the road
side, his face and skin in that soft and
transparent condition acquired only by
leading long lives under the moist
ground. It was afterwards discovered
that Zeke had not gone away as re
ported, but was all that time boiling
eorn juice in one of his moonshine stills
located in a cave excavated beneath the
ground. In this place he would re
main for weeks or months at a time,
without seeing the sunlight, his provis
ions being slipped into him at night.
“We revenue officers did everything
we could to catch up with Uncle Zeke,
but to no avail. We would search ev
ery nook and corner of his house and
little farm, but there was nothing to
show that the old man was evading th
law. One day a report came that Zeke
was operating a still within 500 yards
of his home, hut he defied any man to
find it. Deputy John Ware, who, by
the way, is one of the best officers in
the service, left GanesvilJe one day and
rode out to Dunnigan’s with the avow
ed intention of unearthing the old moon
shiner if he had to dig up half of Hall
county to do it. It was about 11 miles
from town to Uncle Zekes, and the des
tination was soon .reached. “Old
Comanehe, ’ ’ (Robinson) and Cape Depu
ty Marshals, accompanied him. All of
these officers were experienced and first-
class still hunters, and they felt that
their reputation was at stake in catch-
ng Zeke. He was not at home, but his
house and premises were thoroughly
searched. A pair'of shoes were found
covered with still slops, which discov
ery thoroughly convinced the men that
they were «n a warm trail. In their
search even the floor of the dwelling
was taken up, and the ground under
neath probed with an iron bar, but
nothing was found. . Every sign of a
trail on the place was traced to its end,
and the branches searched, But nothing
in the slightest manner of' a suspicious
character was found except the shoes.
At last “Old Comanche” started -to in
vestigate a blind road that lead to a lit
tle clearing. About 500 yards from the
house, on a hillside, he noticed a rough
shutter lying not far from the path.
To all appearance it had been careless
ly thrown there for a long time, as a
little briar patch was growing around
it, and the leaves and trash had been
blown over and partly conceal
ed it. There was no sign to show
that it had been disturbed for months.
But Old Comanche was not to he de
ceived by these appearances, and.so he
proceeded to lift the .shutter, when he
discovered a deep, dark hole about the
size of a flour barrel. The other officers
were at once summoned, and one of
their number lowered into the den. It
was found to he the opening of a eave
as long as a car and somewhat wider.
In this they found two stills set up and
©pperated and a large quantity of beer
and meal. A fire was also burning in the
furnace. The owner, however, was
nowhere to he seen. Cape, who was
nosing around among the barrels and
fermenters, gave a war-whoop, and to
the surprise of the raiders brought out
from his hiding place the most comical
looking figure his eyes ever -rested up
on. He was covered with slops from
head to foot, and face bla*ek with somkri -
and soot. The eyes and skin of the fig-
uve, when exposed, were that deathly
hue only acquired by a long residence
tinder ground. .
It proved to be Ezekiel Dunnigan,
who current reports said, had been iq
Texas’ for months, but all the time th£
old man had never quitted liis cave. A
iisr.rcn?-around the jireinises revealed a
great pile of jugs, some labelled with
the names of highly respectable citizens
of Gainesville, patrons of Uncle Zeke’s
moonshine still. The old man,liowe ver,
bitterly denied the ownership of the prop
erty, and swore most positively that he
hpd just discovered it and had come af
ter a drink of beer. A farther invests
gation showed that the water was con
veyed from a distant spring through
underground pipes, but the old mail
Was shrewd enough to appropriate oriiv
a portion of the water,lest suspicion be
drawn to liis place of hiding. This still
inside and out, but no opening, save
for the fire place, could be found. At !
last Deputy Ware decided to climb to ■
the top of the house, when lo! the inys- j
tory was unravelled. The chimney had !
two lines—one f«r the smoke from the j
house to escape through and the other
lead to the furnace of the blockade
still.
But in spite of this conclusive proof of
his guilt Uncle Zeke swore by every
thing holy that he knew nothing of
the existence of the -till
until that morning, arid that
some enemy had doubtless come in the
night and sonstructed that secret flue
to get him into trouble.
Uncle Zeke was arrested, convicted
and laid in jail for a long time.
On release he was seen for some
months around his'old haunts,but a few
weeks ago it was reported^ that the old
man had gone to 'Texas again. The
officofiP knew what this meant, and
searched his house and premises, hut
without making any discover}-. But
Uncle Zeke still remaining absent,
Deputy Ware determined to unearth
the old rat, and paid a second visit to
his house. This time he not only took
up the floor of his dwelling, but of
every house on the premises, probing
the eartifi with rods made for the pur
pose. He was about giving up in des
pair, when that officer noticed a little
closet cut off in one corner of the room.
The door of this was opened, but the
ceiling was covered with cobwebs and
the fioor with-dust that had evidently
been accumulating for months. He
knew how sly Uncle Zeke was, and de
termined to even investigate this place.
So the floor was removed, hut a hard,
compact earth was only seen, as if it
had not been disturbed since the build
ing was erected. Mr. Ware secured a
pick, and began to excavate. He had
gone down several inches, when a plank
floor was struck. This began to look
suspicious, and soon this was removed,
when a layer of hard clay was found.
Still the officers continued their work,
and their next discovery was a layer of
large lieun logs. These were also un
covered and removed, when one of the
best equipped moonshine stills ever seen
was unearthed. It was in a large cave
partly dug lyider the house,with a con
cealed opening in a wagon road, that
passed nearby. No one would ever
think of Searching for a still house in a
public highway, or under a man’s
dwelling.
Uncle Zeke was arrested this week,
but he persists in asserting that he had
ho knowledge of the fact of the exist
ence of that still under his dwelling,
and that it was evidently the work of
his unknown and concealed-enemy.

THE TROPICS IN ATHENS.
What is Growing in Mr. J. B. Toomer’s
Flower Garden.
One of the prettiest homes in Athens
is that of Mr. J. B. Toomer, on Dough
erty street. It is eetainly a treat to
spend an, evening among his plants
and flowers, that are cultivated'to the
highest degree of perfection. Besides
all of the yard plants and exotics
raised in this section, Mr. Toomer iias
succeeded in successfully growing
many trees and flowers native to the
tropics. Among them we noticed a
fine Malaga grape vine, that came from
a seed planted; an Arabian coffee bush
that will hear this year; a flourishing
banana bush, the pineapple, • almond
and English walnut, and also a prune
that lias a full crop of fruit this year.
This shews what care and industry will
accomplish in Georgia,wliich is in truth
the Empire State of the South, for here
can be successfully grown any product
known in the world.
DROWNED IN A POND.
A Weak-Minded Boy’s Fatal Plunge
Into the Water.
Special to tlic Banner.
Macon, July 12.—George Lawrence,
aged nineteen years, was drowned in a
pond in South Macon, yesterday. He
had lost his position in the office of the
Macon Evening News. He went to the
pond to bathe, and before jumping in,
remarked! “I’m going to be drowned.”
He could not swim. Whether he in
tended to eoinmit suicide or not is not
known. He was rather weak-minded.
His remark was heard by his compan
ions,, but none thought anything of it,
until Lawrence rose to the surface a few
feet away from Jim Hilliard. Reaching
up his hands, he wiped the water from
his face and then sprang backward, as
if to swim on his back. The next time
he rose, his head was barely visible
above the water.
After diving several times a negro
man, Leroy Glover, found the body of
the drowned voung man.

Is innocent Babyland, land c-f the wee.
I lived In this Babyland, long years ago
("We all c-f us live there at some time, you know).
But somebody kept me ono morning from play
And took me to school an they called it, that day.
1 sang as 1 went, for I guessed nothing then.
And thought myself wise with my book and my
• pen %
Ah! little I knew as I danced on in glee
That 1 had left Babyland, land of the wee.
They taught me to read, and they taught mo to
write,
They filled my head so, that it thought In the
„ night,
I wanted to go back to Babyland then
And hare no more bother of thinking again.
But try as I would to remember the way—
"Twos lost, and forgotten forever that day.
For none may return once they leave It, and see
Their Innocent Babyland, land of the wee.
Oh, little folks living In Babyland now.
Sing with the birds as they sing on the bough.
Dance with the blossoms that dance at your feet.
Laugh with each other wherever you meet.
Sleep, and in dreaming know naught of the care
Kept far away from your Babyland fair.
Know that our happiest hours must bo
Whila you are at play. In your land of the wee!

Death of Hon. R. N. Ely.
Special to the Banner.
Atlanta, Ga., July 12.—It i:
ported that the Hon. R. N. Ely,
merly attorney-general of Georgia, has
died on his plantation in Baker county,
within the last few days.
Hon. Robert X. Ely was a prominent
young lawyer, in a good practice in Al
bany. In the excited davs of 1858-9,
he represented Dougherty county in the
legislature. • ;
Earthquakes in California.
special to The Banner.
San Francisco, July 12.—The terri
tory around Los Oliver, San Luis
1 'hi -po eohnty, has been shaken by
earthquakes during the last few days.
Sunday there were six distinct shocks.
Tlie severest shock occurred at .‘l o’clock
vest- -day morning. The people are
becoming alarmed at the long con
tinued disturbances.
My twin brother Tom and myself took to
the sea at about the same time in 1812, al
though wo did not sail in the same vesseL
There is a feeling among sailors that it is not
well for brothers to sail together. It is a bad
sign, people say—a sign that one or the other
will die Oh the voyage. Of course this is
mere nonsense, but then, aside from all su
perstition, we felt that, should any misfort
une happen to -either of us while together,
it would be a dreadful thiug to the other;
and so we thought it best to keep apart.
During the next three years-each of us
went a number of voyages, and it happened
that wo were never once at home together in
all that time. Whenever I arrived back,
Tom would be, perhaps, in Cronstadt or
Trieste; and whenever Tom was at home 1
might be doubling the Cape of rfood Hope
or unloading a cargo of flour in Rio Janeiro.
Yet we had a great desire to meet, for we
were as strongly attached to each other as
brothel's generally are, and I think even
more so. Mother would tell each of us how
the other was looking, and what he had said
and done while at home—and this was all 1
knew of Tom, or that Tom knew of me. She
said that he had grown, os I had, and that
he was now a stout boy, whom all the'iieople
ho sailed with appeared to like. Poor mother 1
I suppose she was proud of us both, though
always in anxiety for us.
Finally, at nineteen, I arrived homo from
the Mediterranean with a full determination
to see Tom once moro before again setting
foot on a ship’s deck. He was in the W est
Indies, and his vessel was expected back in a
month or two. Mother was greatly pleased
to think that both her boys were to be at
home at the same time, after so long a sepa
ration.
The brig to which he belonged was called
the Columbia, and at lost she was reported
to bo down the harbor. How glad 1 felt!
and 1 saw mother wipe away tears of joy
with the corner of her apron.\
But when the vessel came up to the wharf
I could not seo Tom Rny where about the dock.
I had a dreadful misgiving that something
evil had happened; and my fears were not
without reason. Two of her crew had been
impressed on board a British man-of-war—
and one of them was Tom.
I need not tell you what a house was ours.
It seemed as if death itself could hardly have
been worse than what had taken place. It
was a torture to us night and day.
Nevertheless^ after some weeks I prepared
for sea again. 1 must go, of course, l or It
was in the way of my profession. I shipped,
by preference, for the island of Barbadoes;
for, although reason told me how shadowy
such a hope must be, T could not resist the
feeling that there it might Be possible to lean?
something of Tom.
Our brig, the Amelia, arrived out In due
time, and from the moment wo entered the
port I was all eyes and ears. I know that
Tom had been taken on board the Poictiers,
seventy-four guns; but although there were
several men-of war anchored in the harbor,
sho was not, as I learned, among them.
But one day we saw a big ship comiug in.
Oh, how she loomed up! And when she
canto to an anchor her yards were almost in
stantly black with men. Her sails were all
furled at one and the same time, and then she
lay swinging at her chain, although too far
off for us to distinguish the faces of those on
board.
Somehow I had the feeling that this was
.Tom’sstrip; and suro enough, upon questi.u-
ing a harbor boatman, wo were told that the
vessel was the Poictiers.
It was Sunday, so that we. had ouronsign
flying, and 1 knew that this would kttract
Tom's attention provided hes^ill remained on
board the ship. ,
1 thought it likely, too, that he might rec
ognise the Amelia, as I knew tha’. ho had
once sailed in her himself. Ho would sea the
Stars and Stripes displayed from a vessel be
longing to his native town, yet all the wbilo
be helpless to escape.
I almost wished that I, too, could be with
him on board the English ship. It seemed to
me that together we should bo able to con
cert some plan of escape, as two heads are
•better than one. But l little thought how
very soon my half wish was to bo fulfilled.
In a short time a boat put off from the
seventy-four, pulling directly for our vessel.
We well knew what that meant. His ma
jesty’s ship was In want of men—and sho
would have them, too!
The officer who come on board of us said
that he was in search of English sailors, and
was happy to poroeivo that our captain had
at loast two such among liis crew—indicating
as he spoke one of my shipmates and myself.
“They are Americans,” said the captain,
“and have protections, os all my men have.
They can produce"
“Never mind the producing,” was the an
swer. “Here, you fellows, get up your dun
nage at onco and step into that boat!” And
his armed crew drew close about us, as if to
enforce tho command."
My shipmate was very pole,‘and I could
not wonder at it; but as for myself, I felt
that I was more than half willing to go—I
did so Want to seo Tom!
A ring of marines, with fixed bayonets, soon
hustled us into the boat, and in a few minutes
we were standing on the wide, sweeping deck
of the seventy-four. What a ship she was
In comparison to the little craft wo had just
left! Beside the Amelia she was a castle com
pared with a cottage.
1 had just timo to observe this and to get
out from under tho noses of tlies officer and
his marines when a stout young sailor sprang
forward and grasped my hand
“Oh, John!” he cried, “is it possible thut-
you have g
both at once.
No matter
found Tom,
that floating
almost happy.
In less than a week the old Poictiers took
us out to sea. We stood to the northward,
and the next day fell in with a French pri
vateer. The mountains on the island of
Martinique were in sight at that time, and
how Tom and I did wish for wings to fly
there!
The severity-four crowded all sail in chaise
of the French ship, and it could soon be seen
that she was gaining upon her. Presently
we could seo tha£ they were throwing over
board her guns and other heavy articles to
lighten the vessel. They cut adrift a large
boat, and apparently got rid of everything
they could spare.
After this it could be seen that she held her
own, and in fact she soon appeared to be gain
ing ground. The wind, however, had be
come very light, and neither vessel made
much progress.
We passed close by the drifting boaj;, but
our commander made no attempt to securo
her, probably not wishing to Ikj encumbered
with such a thing. In the hurry and confu
sion of the moment the Frenchmen had for
gotten to stave a hole in her bottom, and had
even left a number of oars onj board of her.
A few minutes later wo entirely lost the
breeze, but the privateer still had a light
breath of air, ami Tom and I were very glad
to see her make off, snapping her fingers, as
one might say, at tho helpless old seventy-
four.
It happened that we two were often close
to each other, and as we cast sly glances
toward the drifting boat tho same thought
was in both our minds.
“Tom,” I whispered at last, “if the breeze
shouldn’t spring up again till after dark,why
couldn’t we make a dash for her?”
“The very thing I’m thinking of.” he an
swered softly. “The trade wind will be sure
to spring up soon, and' that will take ns
straight toward Martinique. I know it is a
risky piece of business, but I’m willing to
take the chances.”
•We spoke to the other two men—the two.
who had been impressed respectively with
him and myself—but they would not make
the venture. How should we be able to find
the boat in the darkness? they asked; and
what were we to do for provisions and water
in the event of reaching her ?
But we believed the stake to be worth the
risk, and our resolution was fixed. We were
only afraid that the ship would get a breeze
before dark.
The boat was about three-fourths of a mile
off, and as twilight gathered we saw that she
ranged exactly under a certain large star
which it would be easy to distinguish from
all others.
As the evening advanced,, a light breeze be
gan to fill tho sails till the ship gathered
steerageway. There was now not a moment
lo lose; • and, dropping silently under the
bow, we struck out for the boat. I have
since thought that this was a prodigious
thing to do, there in the midst of tho Atlantic
ocean 1 The picture wo made as we dropped
from the bow of that big ship has often
recurred to mi
More and moro the wind breezed up, so
that wo were obliged to allow something for
the drift of the boat, for wo could not see her.
She must liavo moved a little to ono side of
the star—and suppose we should nliss her al
together. we thought! v
At length it seemed to us that we must
have swum more than a mile. We were very
tired and began to realize the fearful position
in which we had placed ourselves. Could we
have passed the object of our search? The
breeze increased rapidly, and the water dash
ed in our faces. Of course the boat must
now be drifting very fast, and probably we
had not made allowance enough for tho wind.
Throwing ourselves upon our backs, we
rested awhile to gain strength for further
effort; but such effort mu.-.u now be feeble at
tho best. The dash of the waves confused
us; and as tp the stars, we had by this time
got them s^uly mixed.
Suddenly Tom flopped over upon his breast
and uttered some kind of an exclamation.
“What i3 it?” I asked. “Do you- see her?”
“No; but l seo something else. Lookl look!
there’s a vessel’s topgallant sails against the
sky I”.
Sure enough, it was as he said. Close upon
us rose the canvas of a square rigger, tower
ing through the darkness like the form of a
great tree.
We shouted as loud os possible; and soon
“creak, creak” went her mainyard as it
swung around till the sail was laid to the
mast.
A boat was sent for us, and we were taken
up almost speechless. What was my surprise
to recognize in the crew of the yawl the seo-
ond mate and two of the hands of the brig
Amelia, the very craft from which I had
been impressed. „
They took us on board the vessel, and had
wo descended there from tho sky her good
captain and his men could hardly have been
more astonished at our appearance. The
Amelia, they told us, had left Barbadoes im
mediately after ourselves, and had not at
any time been entirely becalmed. But that
sho should happen to crime jogging along
just in the nick of time to save us seemed a.
surprising thing indeed.
We arrived home after a short passage,
seeing nothing more^f the old Poictiers, and
whether or not her commander 6ver knew
what had become of us is more than I can
telL But I am 6ure of this, that a drifting
boat in the night, in tho midddle, of the At
lantic ocean, is a very uncertain thing to
swim for!

Tlie Cumberland Silver Treasure.
Tho great feature of the exhibition of plate
and jewels at the palace Schwarzgnberg, in
Vienna, is the contribution of tho Duke of
Cumberland, who has sent a large portion of
tho celebrated “silver treasure” of tho house
of Hanover, which includes the'entire fur
niture of a saloon .in solid silver—chairs,
tables, cabinets and mirror frames. There is,
besides, tho dinner service which belonged to
the bishops of Hildesheim, and also an im-
menso silver arbor, with hanging flowers and
bunches of grapes, all of silver. This was
manufactured at Augsburg in 1703. There is
a huge cloth of solid silver and a number of
vases and tankards and the table -ornaments
of pure gold. Tho Duke of Cumberland’s
family plate is said to weigh twelve tons al
together, and his hereditary jewels ore valued
at £300,000, besides those which were-be
queathed to him by the Duke of Brunswick.—

TIio Mooo.
Thoso who hold to-planting in special phases
of tho moon and shearing of sheep in tho in
crease of tbo moon will bo interested to know
that such notions are geueral among semi-
barbarous people. A recent writer gives,
among other rules from the south Slavs, the
following: Cucumbers must be grown three
nights in moonshine. Trees for house timber
must be felled in the full of tho moon, or
some one of the family will soon die. Sheeps’
wool ia longest and most durable cut in the
increase of the moon. The same is true of
swine, that they are fattest killed in tho wax
ing of tho moon. There uro also the same or
similar notions about wet moons and dry
moons —St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
