8 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. BABYLAND. it hero, too? I’m sorry and glad 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. re- for- There’s * wonderful country we all of ns Know Where the strangest things talk, and the queerest tilings grow.

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!
