1 n reference to our convicts the gallant
General bald:
“For years I have considered the con
vict lease system a great evil, and am in
favor of doing all we can to break it up.
1 would not advise doing anything unjust
to lessees. I think I am safe in saying
that if the Legislature would provide a
way whereby the convicts and effects
could be turned oyer to the State without
loss to them, every holder of convicts
would be glad to do so. Yes, sir, if lam
elected, I will recommend such action as
will enable us to abolish this evil. I con
fess to you the more I consider the mat
ter the more anxious I am that this
convict system be discontinued. I be
lieve the convicts could be used to advan
tage on our country roads. This would
enable the commissioners to give us good
roads; besides, the farmers would not be
called from their farms in the busy season
to work them. Yes, lam aware that
some people claim I am now interested
in convicts, but this is not so. I une
quivocally declare that I atn opposed to
the convict lease system. Certainly, I
will give you all the assistance in my
power to accomplish its abolishment.
Without hesitation, and most unreserv
edly, I commit myself in this matter.”
Such an open, frank expression will
carry its weight with the working classes
and places the General squarely on the
platform of the Knights of Labor.
The St. Louis Trunk Mystery.
When a rotting body of a human being
was found crammed in a trunk at the
Southern hotel at St. Louis last year the
whole country was horrified. It proved
to be the body of Arthur Preller, of
England, who had lately arrived in the
city. Ilis companion. Maxwell alias
Brooks, was nowhere to be found, and
suspicion was directed towards him. His
whereabouts were unknown but by some
clever detective work he was traced to
Australia, where he was captured and
brought back to stand trial. On our first
page will be found the testimony of a de
tective who was cast into an adjoining
cell to Maxwell upon a trumped up
charge, which will be found interesting.
Maxwell says this detective is a liar and
goes on to give his statement of the death
of Preller. lie says that he was treating
Preller for some trouble that required
the use of chloroform. After the de
ceased had been put under the influence
of the drug Maxwell noticed that he was
breathing hard. He suspended his sur
gical operations at once and began the
work of recusciation. Finding this im
p ssible he cast the dead man into a trunk,
took what money he had and pulled out.
While giving his statement Maxwell
seemed to be deeply affected. The evi
dence is very strong against the prisoner
and as it has been proven that he was
short of money it is thought that he com
mitted murder to replenish liis excheq
uer.

assault will not weaken but strengthen
Fain. The insinuation that tiie action of

was “cut and dried” and suspicious be
cause they did not. ask or await
instructions from Washington, is a reflec

AN INTERESTING NEWSPAPER.
“The Georgia Regimental Journal” Pub
lished at the Camp During the War.
We have before us a copy of the Geor
gia liegimental Journal, which was pub
lished during the “late unpleasantness,
a paper that was “devoted to the inter
ests of the Georgia troops now in the
field,” dated Thursday, July 18tli, 1801.
The number before us was printed at
Camp Semmes, near Brunswick, Ga.,
by the Second Georgia Regiment. It
was sold at live cents per copy and no
subscriptions were taken for a longer
period than one month, which cost
thirty cents. The press and material
were carried with the Second Georgia and
the paper was issued semi-weekly. It is
six column size and very neatly printed.
It is chuck full of interesting reading,
news from the front taking up most of
the space. A liberal lot of advertise
ments also is displayed, showing that
this meagre chance to spread printer’s
ink in working up trade was eagerly
grasped by the wide-awake merchants
of those stirring times. Several “ads”
of sales of “valuable negroes” appear,
one firm styling itself a “negro and
general commission and brokerage busi
ness.”
Among the editorial brevities we find
the following:
“Another report says that we will he
off to Virginia in the course of a week.
This is from reliable authority.”
“We learn that the regiment will he
paid off very soon.”
“The hospital reports shows that a
considerable decrease in the number of
sick since the last report—a great many
of those that were able to travel having
gone home.”
The editor speaks highly of the ladies
of Brunswick for their kindness in
nursing the sick and wounded. A fight
with the enemy is thus spoken of:
“We received information from our
exchanges of the gallantry of our Au
gusta boys. On last Tuesday week a
portion of the Virginia Regiment and
some other companies, numbering in
all about 3SO men, met the enemy about
nine thousand strong, in Berkely coun
ty, and repulsed them three, times—
killed between a hundred and fifty and
two hundred of the Federalists, wound
ed many more, and captured fifty-four
prisoners. The loss on our side was only
three killed and eight or nine wounded.
We have always felt satisfied that the
Augusta boys would show, if an oppor
tunity presented, that they were as
brave as the bravest, and we are glad
to say that they have covered themselves
with glory. Though encountering an
overwhelming force they were unawed,
and fought with the calmness of veter
ans and the bravery of heroes. Little
Charlie Turner, a boy 15 years old, who
insisted so strongly on going with the
Augusta Guards, that his father finally
yielded to liis importunities, and allow
ed him to go. The result shows that
little Charley went to perform service,
for he made one of the enemy bite the
dust.”
The paper is full of matter of thrilling
interest, and its owner, Mr. Frank Dan
iel thinks a great deal of it.
Fail-mount High School.
We met on Wednesday evening, May
the 20th, to witness the closing exercises
of the Fairmount High School. The
rostrum was built in front of the aedaemy
and was beautifully decorated, in front of
which the people were comfortably
seated. We had no arbor or shelter of
any kind. We were entirely in the open
air, but Nature seemed to favor us with
a lovely night. The exercises were
opened at half-past seven by a prayer
from Mr. Smith. This was followed by
a song of welcome, surig and played by
Miss Boaz, the music teacher. The ex
cises lasted about four hours and we were
pleasantly entertained by declamations,
essay’s, recitations and music. We think
that the exercises did honor to the pupils
and to their teachers. After hastily
thanking the people for their presence
and attention the audience was dismissed
for the night by Prof. W. M. Dyer.
After quietly resting the remainder of
the night we again gathered together
Thursday morning. Prof. Dyer did not
intend to have any exercises until even
ing, so we met the school unexpected.
The pupils were again called upon the
stage to entertain the people. They did
well. These exercises lasted until eleven
o’clock, when the audience was dismiss
ed for dinner. They again met at 3
o’clock and were entertained by the little
people. They have been in care of Mrs.
Griffith, and the way that we were en
tained that evening by these children
thows Mr. Griffith to be a good instruc
sor. She is greatly beloved by all her
pupils. Before the evening exercises
elosed we had the pleasure of listening to
a recitation by Miss Bitting, one of the
assistant teachers,- who has been in the
school for the last two months, and dur
ing her short stay at Fairmount, she has
made many friends. Bhe will now re
turn to her home in Dalton where she
will spend vacation. YVe hope to meet
her again at the opening of the next
session. The crowd was again dis
missed for an hour or two. During his
recess the young folks seemed to enjoy
themselves walking around and drinking
lemonade. The school boys, knowing
that their time of departure was drawieg
near made good use of the time.
The last but no less interesting exer
cises began Thursday night at hall-past
seven. The declamations, essays and
recitations were good and the music was
very nice. The military drill was splen
did and was led by Capt. Hutchinson.
During the drill we had the pleasure of
listening to a recitation from Miss Hoaz.
The ealisthenic classes on each night did
well. Then followed an address from
Mr. llan'y, which was short though en
tertaining. After he took his seat, Prof.
Dyer gave a short talk to his pupils and
patrons, and, after heartily thanking the
people for their arood behavior and at
tention he dismissed the audience.

Stamp Creek "Dots.”
Stamp Creek lias been greatly enli
vened recently by the presence of several
pleasant visitors. Amiable, pleasant,
Miss Lou Ella Jones, spent a week most
pleasantly with her brother Mr. C. T.
Jones, inhaling our invigorating moun
tain atmosphere, drhrking our pure
water, gathering wild flowers and taking
buggy rides, which she said gave her a
most voracious appetite and was of great
benefit to her. She said she would have
grown fat could she have remained
longer. It certainly was a great treat to
have Miss Lou Ella with us and we hope
she will favor us- with another and a
longer visit soon.
Mr. Charlie Milam and Miss Xelia
Jones came over from the picnic at Row
lan’s Springs last Thursday and spent a
pleasant hour with us.
Mrs. Joe Jones and some of her chil
dren spent a few days with us to the de
light of their friends.
Rev. Joe Jones came up Sunday and
preached a really good sermon for us at
Corbin’s school house, to the and edifica
tion of the large and intelligent congre
gation present. In fact, we were all
most agreeably surprised at the admira
ble facility with which lie handles his
subject and depth of thought, the earn
estness of manner, and the eloquence of
speech which lie displayed. Surely Joe
is capable and seems destined to do much
good: he should have the prayers and
the encouragement of all his friends, and
and of a'l others who sympathize with
one who is manufully struggling to over
come “the world, the llcsh and the devil,”
and to be, a man. Joe lias his faults.
Pray tell me who is fruitless? But who
of us, who were once, like Joe, almost
ruined for time snd eternity, can with
hold our sympathy from the poor fellow,
who, with the “odds” against him and
so much to overcome, is now endevoring
by God’s grace, to triumph over all, and
be a man, a worthy husband and father,
a useful member of society, and a bene
factor to his race? Hard indeed must be
the heart of that man who would do
aught to hinder such a man.
Mr. Gilreath, ot Cassville, was also
over at Corbin’s Sunday, conducting a
singing class, which he seemed fully
competent to do. We were also de
lighted with the splendid singing of the
young people and especially were we
delighted with the bountiful and ele
gantly prepared dinner which was so
temptingly spread before us and of which
we were so cordially bidden to partake —
and we certainly partook of the same to
our physical discomfort. You “starved
editors” ought to have been conveniently
near to have wstched us. Oh, how your
sunken eyeballs would have glistened
with that yearning and longing with
which all editors seem so familiar. Your
delinquent subscribers would have then
beheld your abject condition, and out of
pure sympathy would have paid “old
scores,” so that you too could go to your
desolate dens and fill up that “empty
void” which ever torments the hungry
editors, so that his wearied brain might
be refreshed, and prepared to ascend
higher heights in journalistic fame and
to deeend to deeper depths in political
“tomfoolery.” The latter achievement
is being accomplished “mid a rush” by
many of the aforesaid edi tors in the
present campaign .
We are glad to say that Col. R. H.
Jones has consented to preach for us at
“County Line” church on the third sab
bath in this month. He was pastor of
this church thirty years ago and once
cheered and thrilled the hearts of some
of our fathers and mothers who have
long since gone to their reward, with the
old, though ever sweet, story of the
cross. Let’s all turn out to hear him.

in his grove. Impacted in the solid wood
was found, in splitting it open, a live

ces that the place had been hollow—per
haps a knot —and that the woody fibre
had grown around his frogship so closly
as to scarcely give him room to move.

GORDON'S KINDNESS.
From the Cutlibert (Ga.) Appeal.]
' An incident proving the devotion of
Gen. Gordon to his soldiers was related
to us a few days ago by a young friend
who lives on the line of Randolph and
Stewart counties, near County Line
church. In liis neighborhood lives Mr.
Robert Ware, who was immediately un
der Gen. Gordon during the war. Just
after one of the hardest fought battles of
the war, in which the troops of both
sides were mowed down like the ripe
wheat before the scythe, Mr. Ware was
commanded to go on picket duty. It
was a bitter cold night. The snow was
on the ground many inches deep. Mr.
Ware had come out of the battle just
fought without receiving any wounds,
but with the loss of nearly all his cloth
ing. To have stood at his post of duty
during the night would have been sure
death. As Gen. Gordon rode down the
line that night he discovered the situation
of Mr. Ware, only a poor soldier as ne
was, and his heart went out in sympa
thy to him. Removing his own coat,
hat and shoes he turned them over to the
trembling guard and finished his ride in
that condition, Mr. Ware survived the
conflict, returned home and settled down
on his farm, but he never forgot this
simple act of kindness, and his first boy
born after the war was christened “Gor
don Ware.” It cannot be disputed that
Gen. Gordon has a heart for his people,
capable of sympathizing with them in
their needs, both in the war and since,
and his past life has demonstrated this
fact to the perfect satisfaction of all un
baised minds.

SENATOR BROWN AND THE GUBER
NATORIAL RACE.
It is very evident at this stage of the
campaign that General Gordon cannot
climb into the Governorship of Georgia
by the skirts of Senator Joseph E. Brown.
Col. Avery, who was Gov. Colquitt’s
secretary and who says he knew all the
facts, declares that Gordon was opposed
to the appointment of Senator Brown.
There is a strong effort, however, on the
part of Gordon’s friends to array Senator
Brown’s friends against Major Bacon’s
friends. Senator Brown has wisely de
clared that this is not his fight. He has
too much good sense to make a gratuitous
rally to save a forlorn hope. Senator
Brown is a man who, however much he
may have been opposed when he entered
the United States Senate, has proven
himself to be vigilant, earnest, practical
and progressive in his duties. He has
never lost an opportunity to work for the
State or its people, lie has proven a
sound and a sagacious leader. lie has
loaned himself to no visionary scheims
and relies upon no illusory lame. He is
a man of business sense and judgment
and is not so much concerned in the
spontaneous eruption of this political
Etna in Georgia as some other people in
and around Atlanta. — Augusta Chronicle.

“A BO I VLB SOGER HOY.”
One of the Macon Volunteers and His
Ability as a Drummer.
SAMUEL DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, GA.
The excellent picture we present at the head
of this column, is of a man who is as well and
favorably known in his capacity as a traveling
man or “drummer” as any one man in the
United States.
Mr. Dunlap said in conversation recently:
“About four years ago I had a severe attack of
rheumatism, which completely disabled me for
a time, and which developed into what is com
monly called ‘chronic,’ attacking me when
least expected, and laying me up entirely; in-
capacitating me for any kind of business, and
causing me as much suffering in a day as should
be crowded in a life time. After one of my most
severe attacks, and when I had just got able to
hobble around, I met J. M. Hunnicutt, an old
friend, and he said he could make a remedy
that would cure me, and, by gracious, he did. I
took two bottles of his stutT, picpared from
roots and herbs, and I have never had a twinge
of rheumatism since. The medicine was not
prepared for sale at that time, but was manu
factured bv Mr. llunnicutt for his friends.
About six months ago it was determined to
place it upon the market, and a firm was organ
ized for that purpose. Two weeks ago, in the
midst of my suffering, I noted in one of their
advertisements that it was good for kidney
troubles also. I knew it would cure rheuma
tism, and I bought a half a dozen bottles at once
and determined to give it a fair show at a kidney
disease of long standing. It may seem extrava
gant, but the first day’s use gave me relief, and
before I had completed taking one bottle my
disagreeable symptons had entirely disap
peared. I have used two bottles up to this
time, and 1 have not felt a trace of my disease
for a week.”
J. M. Hunnicutt & Cos., the manufacturers of
HUnnicutt’s Rheumatic Cuic, Atlanta, Ga., as
sure us that their ihedicinc is on sale at the low
price of SI.OO a bottle, at all reputable druggists
and can be procured at wholesale from jobbing

The discussion on evloution in the
Southern Presbyterian Assembly at Au
gusta, Ga., was brought to an end last
week by a vote, when it was formally
decided by a large majority that “Adam
and Eve were created body and souls by
immediate act of almighty power, there
by preserving a perfect race unity; that
Adam’s body was directly fashioned by
Almighty God without any natural ani
mal parentage of any kind, out of matter
previously created out of nothing, and
that any doctrine at variance therewith
is a dangerous error.”
Georgia has anew marble quarrying
company. The Canton Advance , in Cher
okee county, learns through Colonel
Teasley that a company has been organ
ized to open up and quarry marble from
otf the Nelson place in that county,
between Ball Ground and Tate’s, on the
railroad. The company is said to be
backed with amount of money nec-.
essary, and intend going to work at once,
if they have not already begun. The
specimens of marble taken from this
property, it is said, very favorably com
pare with that taken from the Georgia
Marble Company's quarries, a few miles
above, and is supposed to be on the same
lead. It is not known who the company
is composed of, but it is understood that
Col. S. C.Tate and Mr. J. A. Dewar
have an interest.

Wheeling, W. Va., May 28. —The
Red Men, an organization of outlaws
which for a half dozen years has flour
ished in this State, have committed
another outrage. The victims are Mr.
and Mrs. George Keek, who live on Goss
Run, in Ritchie county. Two ntghts
ago they were aroused by a mob which
had surrounded their house, and on the
door being opened the Red Men took
possession tied Mr. Keck and his wife,
took them into the woods near by, tied
them to trees, and beat them with hickory
withes. They then burned the dwelling
and departed. After daylight Mr. Keck
succeeded in releasing himself, and after
removing his fainting wife to a place of
safety, swore out warrants for such of
the mob as he bad been able to recognize,
and twelve of them have been arrested
and placed in jail. Other arrests will
be made.
