ROAST MILES.
Stirring Memorial Address Lis
tened to By Thousands.
SOUTH S RECORD IN HISTORY.
Orator Told of How Mr. Davis Was
Made Victim of Wild Fanaticism.
Was Finally Victor.
Macon Telegraph.
Following this came the speech
of Hon. John YV. Akin of Carters
ville, which was full of the elo
quence and fire that was to be ex
pected from the brilliant north
Georgian, but which for reasons
best known to Mr. Akin, The Tele
graph was requested not to pub
lish. He paid a glowing tribute
to the ladies of the south, and pre
dieted that they would make and
write in the future more than in
the past the history of their coun
try. He said it was to them that
credit is mostly due for the keep
ing fresh the memories of the past,
and for the instruction the children
receive in matters of history. He
paid his respects to the historians
who through sectionalism suppress
facts that are necessary to give a
correct understanding of the things
recorded. He said that New En
gland claims to have rocked the
cradle of liberty in America, when
as a matter of fact the cradle was
not only rocked in North Carolina
long before New England thought
about it, but the cradle, its rockers
and all, was made in the south.
H said New England was busy
writing history during all these
years, while the south has been
content to make the history and
leave the other fellows to seize
upon the glory for it. Said he:
But the historian does not tell
you of the New England soldiers
who mutinied the first month their
pay was delayed during that rev
olutionary war out of which they
sought to get so much glory.
The oration borderea onto the
sensational when Mr. Akin took
up the subject of Jefferson Davis’
treatment by Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, he said that the noble old
gentleman was run down and cap
tured near Macon by a gang of re
ward-hunters, and that civilization
knows of no parallel for the treat
ment given him in his helplessness
while confined in Fort Monroe.
The war was ended, hostilities had
long since ceased, and Mr. Davis,
the feeble old gentleman, could
not have escaped from prison if he
had cared to do so, said the speak
er. The brutish Miles is the vil
est of wretches, and his hollow
heart is filled with many atrocities,
but he can do nothing more fiend
ish than the sending of his brawny
blacksmith to forge the big chains
on the helpless wrists of Jefferson
Davis. And for what? Not be
cause Mr. Davis had committed
any crime. But it was because
the wild fanaticism of the times
demanded a victim. Nelson A
Miles, the brute, was the willing
tool of that fanaticism and help
less Jefferson Davis, the victim.
Miles has seen the terrible verdict
that has been rendered against him
by humanity and Christianity, and
he seeks to shift the responsibility,
claiming that he only acted under
orders from superiors. In this he
deliberately falsifies. Ihe wretch
seeks to go back on the public re
cords, which speak for themselves.
There is no going back on them.
He is responsible for this terrible
outrage on civilization and human
ity, and he cannot escape the con
sequences. He hojds his present
high position by reason of politics,
but a more unfit man for the place
cannot be found.
Mr. Akin then referred to the
trip which Mr. Davis in lates y ars
made lrom Beauvoir to Atlanta,
when strong, substantial men kiss
ed the wheels of his carriage and
little children strewed flowers in
front of his horses, while women
wept for joy at seeing him. He
said this was the triumph of Miles’
victim —“the triumphant march of
an uncrowned king.”
He paid tribute to the courage of
Benjamin H. Hill as displayed in
the United States senate in 1876,

Farmer Bramblett, An Ex-Convict
Brutally Assassinated.
HIS CHILDREN WERE PRESENT.
Ha Was Charged With the Murder
of Henry Worley and Was De
fendant Number of Times.
Spring Place, Ga., April 26. —
While ploughing in his field in the
lower portion of this county, 10
miles distant from this place, Har
ris Bramlett, a successful and ener
getic farmer, was brutally assassi
nated in the presence of his two
little children, who were at work
with him.
Bramlett was fired upon from
ambush and the unsuspecting man
received the full contents of four
loads of buckshot.
As Bramlett neared the end of
the row he was ploughing, he was
fired upon. The gun barrel was
poked through a crack in the fence.
Bramlett fell at the first fire, being
shot through the abdomen.
One of the assassins, a man of
! tall figure and face covered with
heavy black beard, sprang over
the fence and fired both barrels of
his gun into the bleeding body of
the fallen man. The body was so
mangled and torn by the buckshot
that it was almost unrecognizable,
No one of the assassins were
recognized, but they are being pur
sued by a posse, with little possi
bility of capture, however.
An interesting and suggestive
feature of this affair is obvious by
reason of the fact that several years
ago Bramlett, with several others,
was prosecuted in the federal court
in Atlanta for attempting to hang
and eventually shooting to death
Henry Worley, an alledged infor
mer for the federal authorities.
He was acquitted by a jury in the
federal court in Atlanta, but not
without first testifying against a
number of his accomplices or sup
posed accomplices, who have been
serving sentence in the Ohio state
penitentiary.
Since his acquittal he came home
and resumed his old occupation, a
distiller of illicit whisky, and was
captured by the officers, convicted
and sentenced to two years servi
tude in the Raleigh, N. C., prison.
Last fall two escaped counter
feiters aud fellow prisoners of his
at Raleigh were captured at his
house, together with a lot of their
spurious coins and fixtures to
make tt, and sent back to serve out
their original sentences and extra
time for this new and aggravated
crime.
Bramlett was under a heavy
bond for his appearance at Ellijay
court for the assassination of Henry
Worley, and has been successful
in continuing the case the last two
terms, and it may be that some
thought he was an intended wit
ness against his former accomplices
or that some of the friends or rela
tives of YY’orley sought revenge,

London, April 24. —Lady Sarah

“Our bread is not made entirely

“The news of the check to the

three natives issued forth to recov

trayed by unfriendly natives to the
Boers, who surrounc e 1 them while
they were sleeping and shot them
all but one, giving no quarter.
One escaped to tell the tale.
“The natives are now mad for
revenge, and it will be very difficult
to control them.
“The bombardment continues.

the end of March aggregated 368
killed and wounded.”

PAUUSTS SOUTHERN HOME-
Hundred Oaks In Tennessee to Be
a Centre of Catholic Teaching.
New York, April 24. —The Very
Rev. George Deshon, superior-gen
eral, and the Rev. Marks White
Handly, member, of the congrega
tion of Paulist Fathers, left this
city on Thursday last for the pur
pose of making final arrangements
for the occupancy by the Paulists
of the house they have leased in
the state of Tennessee as the head
quarters for their work in the south.
The estate upon which the Paulist
fathers will settle in Tennessee
was the family seat of the last
Governor Marks. It is called
“Hundred Oaks” and is near the
southern boundary line of that state,
in the heart of a region famous as
a summer resort and well known
as an educational cei tre. “Hundred
Oaks” is itself within sight ol the
Protestant Episcopal University of
the south and of the Monteagle
summer school; where 6,000 teach
ers gather annually.
In extending their work by the
establishment of the southern
branch, the Paulists propose to de
vote their energies especially to the
prosecution of their system of mis
sions to non-Catholics in a field
hitherto almost untouched. They
expect to derive their support, at
first, from the products of the large
farm connected with the estate.
The building itself is like a Nor
man castle, with towers and battle
ments. It was constructed by a
son of Governer Marks, who was a
consular attache in London and
Berlin and it is large and commo
dious. Four members of the con
gregation of Paulist Fathers will
be assigned to duty at “Hundred
Oaks” as soon as final arrange
ments have been completed. They
will be assisted, when assistance
may be required, by secular priests
from the diocese of Nashville.

The Banyan Tree-
Scientific America .
In enumerating the remarkable
examples of forest growth, the
banyan tree (Ficus indica) would
assume an honorable place. It is
native of several parts of the East
Indies, Ceylon and some parts of
the West Indies. It has a wood
stem, which soon divides into many
branches. Every branch from the
main body throws out its own roots,
at first in small, tender fibers sev
eral yards from the ground; but
these continually grow thicker and
thicker until they reach the ground,
when they strike in, and after be
ing nourished, increased to large
trunks and become parent trees,
shooting out new branches from
the top, and the process is contin
ued until the tree covers a consid
erable area. It is reported in au
thentic works that a banyan tret
on the Nerbudda once covered a
space so great that it covered 7,000
men. The power of the floods has
now much reduced it in size, but
it is still 2,000 feet in circumfer
ence, and the trunks, large and
small,exceed 3,0.0 in number. Oth
er trees have been known to cover
an aiea of thirteen acr.es. They
are frequently found near temples
and on or near funeral mound 1 .
The figs are insipid, but abundant.
The leaves are of a bright green,
and form a dense shade; they are
five inches long and four inches
wide, and they are used bv the
Brahmins as plates and dishes.
The wood of the tree is porous,
and is amost worthless. The na
tives use various portions of the
tree for medicinal purposes.
There’s a story of a farmer and
his son driving a load to market.
Of the team they were driving one
was a steady reliable old gray mare
the other a fractious, balky black
horse. On the way the wagon was
stalled and the black horse sulked
and refused to pull. “What’ll we
do father?” said the younger man.
‘Well” said the father, “I guess
we 11 have to lay tuc g... ” the c and
gray.” That homely e mp’.aint to
women: “The gray nws’s the
better horse” suggests hew often
when there’s an extra strain to be
borne it is laid on the woman’s
back. How often she breaks dow
at last under the added weight f
some “last straw.” Women who
are dragging along wearily through
life can gain reai strength by the
use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. It puts back in con
centrated form the strength making
material which working women use
up more rapidly than it can be re
stored by Nature in the ordinary
process of nourishment and rest.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are
universal favorites with women be
cause they are easy to take and
thoroughly effective in curing ti e
consequences of constipation.
“Chumley used to say he admir
ed politics for the enemies he
made, but he eems to ha\ e chang
ed his minu.” “Yes; he's one of
the enemies now.”
