through the body of the tree, leaving the
oak as if saws had passed through its

Monroe Advertiser: “On last Wednes
day afternoon while Tom Giddings, a lad
about sixteen years of age, was careless
ly handling one of the military guns, a
Springfield rifle, in the rear of Mr. M.
G. Turner’s store, he cocked it and pull
ed the trigger, thinking, he says, that it
was not loaded. But it was, and the gun
fired, sending a large ball with terrific
force through the back door of the store
to the rear df Messrs. Brooks & Harris’
saloon, where their porter, Henry Crow
der, a worthy colored man, was sitting.
The ball struck him in the right shoulder,
breaking a portion of the upper bone of.
the arm, and went through the fleshy
part of his breast. It continued on its
•course and struck the back wall of Mr. J.
b. 1 ‘rector’s store and narrowly missed
the head of a gentleman standing there.
Henry Crowder’s wound was both dan
gerous and painful,>nd Drstßudicill and
Alexander, who dressed the wound,
thought the arm might possible have to
be amputated, and were of the opinion
that his condition was critical. It really
seems as il the oft-repeated warnings
about the careless handling of firearms
will do no good. They should not be
allowed to go into the hands of. you no
boys under any circumstances. In this
instance a worthy colored man with a
large family dependent upon his person
al labors is, if he gets well, almost disa
bled from work. Playing with a deadly
rifle was altogether unnecessary; the
consequence of the act are indeed fear
ful. We can only repeat what has been
said a thousand times: ‘Parents should
control their children.’ ”
THE IPEER SAVANNAH.
Editors Chronicle and 1 Constitutionalist:
Will you allow me a statement in re
gard to the appropriation of SIO,OOO for
the upper Savannah river, which Hon.
M. A. Candler, in an interview with the
Atlanta Constitution, failed to make en
tirely satisfactory to me?
That appropriation passed the house
and went to the senate. As Mr. Ste
phens earnestly desired that appropria
tion, I, as a member of the committee of
commerce, gladly aided him in getting it
before the house committee, and succeed
ed. It was stricken out in the senate.
lion. J. B. Gordon is on that committee
in the senate. He can explain its defeat
in that body.
Savannah harbor received SIOO,OOO.
As Mr. Hartridge wap dead, and that
district had then no immediate represen
tative, I worked for that harbor with all
the zeal and energy of my nature. lion.
M. A. Candler admits that he opposed it.
He thought that there was so “much
wrong in the section that he could not
vote for it.”
Judge Reagan and myself were the
only southern men on the committee of
commerce. I can testify to his zeal for
southern rivers and harbors, and I think
he will do me equal justice.
Whether internal improvements in the
abstract are right or wrong was not a
question for us to settle. We were re
sponsible to the country for a faithful
discharge of the duty placed upon us.* If
the Atlanta Constitution will look over
the different amounts allowed to Georgia
before I was placed on this committee
and compare them with the amounts al
lowed since that time, I suppose they
will be convinoed of my faithfulness, al
though they may think proper to with
hold that conviction from the public. If
Georgia depended on the vote of Hon.
M. A. Candler for help to her rivers and
harbors, she would receive nothing, as
he has uniformly voted against such
bills. Very respectfully,
W.‘ 11. Felton.

gaged in the military service of the

and who served out the term of their
engagement or were honorably dis
charged,” the three months’ extra pay

According to letters from the Cape,
Ketchwayo, the Zulu king, is as merci
less as he is bloodthirsty: “I have known
him to kill fifty women and children to
feed his golden eagles. As bravg as a
lion, he will fight until he dies; and if he
only sees a scratch on one of his warriors’
backs when they return home he is put
to death, as Ketchwayo thinks he must
have turned from the enemy and have
thus received the wound.”
The revival of the old waist is threat
ened by the English dress-makers, but
the only women to whom it was ever be
coming were those whose figures had the
graceful outline of a broomstick or - a
gymnasium wand, and it is to be hoped
that American women will not take it up
again. *

THE FREE PRESS
Will remain the unflinching exponent of the
free and independent voters and the friends of
political freedom throughout the Seventh Con
gressional District; and will support the great
principles of Jeffersonian Democracy as the
grand bulwark of American liberty.
THE FREE PRESS
Will earnestly advocate these principles {(the
octrinejof Jeffersoniauism) sq the liberal politi
cal tenets that recognize the right of the people
to govern themselves independent of the edicts
of juntas, rings, cliques or combinations, organ
ized under whatever name, to defeat the popular
will for merely partisan purposes, or to advance
the schemes of personal ambition.
THE FREE PRESS
Will be, in a word, what its name imports—an
independent journal—a “sentinel upon the
watch-tower” of public liberty—to warn the
people of all danger to tlieir rights and the
cause of “law and order,” and to thwart all at
tempts by corruption and intrigue to overthrow
or impair good government.
THE FREE PRESS
Will devote much of its time and space to the de
velopment of the agricultural and mineral re
sources of this section of Cherokee Georgia.—
With this view we invite information from all
reliable sources in regard thereto.
THE FREE PRESS
Will ever be found to be in the interest of the in
dustrial classes, the mechanical, the agricultur
al, the mercantile, and all who labor, resolved to
do all it can to maintain the rights, the dignity
and the just rewards of honest toil of the strug
gling masses.
