Tle Kingston Tragedy.
Kingston lias again been the scene of
another tragedy, this time a double one.
I he people of that town are painfully ap
palled that their community should so
frequently be the scene of bloodshed and
death. It has been hut a few years ago
since the town passed through a similar
ordeal. The citizens are peaceable and
law-abiding, and the tragedies have been
by persons in part not residents of the
town. The tragedy of last Friday has
been the topic of discussion since it hap
pened. On Alonday evening the writer
>vent to Kngston for the purpose of as
certaining as nearly as possible the cir
cumstances under w hich the killing took
place. In order to get the facts we con
sulted parties in no way related to the
actors In the tragedy, and what we here
state was given to us by cool, honest and
deliberate citizens, and we are informed
that the statements that foliow.come from
the mouths of the witnesses who saw the
difficulty in its incipiency and to its final
termination. These witnesses, we are
informed, are reliable, sober and steady
men.
It appears that the Baptist, Methodist
and Presbyterian Sunday schools of Ac
worth went up on a picnic excursion to
Kingston, to be held at Rogers’ island, a
mile from town. The excursionists, fill
ing three coaches, arrived at Kingston by
the morning train, all happy in anticipa
tion of the joys of the day, little dream
ing that it was to end in death and sor
row. They were met at the depot by a
considerable number of the citizens and
Sunday school pupils of Kingston, and
started at once for the island. One of
the two unfortunate men and a few others
remained in tow n, who, it is said, had
no connection with the Acworth Sunday
schools, but had gone along more.for re
creation than to attend the picnic. When
the picnieers were about to take dinner
on the island the sad news of the killing
was announced—that Thompson Morris
and Joseph Alorris, brothers, were the
victims.
Air. Thompson Alorris, who is said to
have been drinking, fired off his pistol in
violation of a tow n ordinance, the viola
tion of which requires the marshal to
collect a fine of one dollar, and which,
if not paid, requires the marshal to call
the council together and bring the viola
tor before the body. Air. John T. Bur
rough, the town marshal, summoning
tw r o other men, proceeded to perform his
duty, when, after an unpleasant parley,
Air. Alorris paid the fine. Bui-rough and
his party then went to the depot, and
were followed there in a few moments by
Alorris and his friends, Alorris telling
the marshal that he wished to see the
mayor. Burrough pointed the mayor
out, as that official tv as walking from the
depot towards home. Alorris said, “Call
him back.” “No,” replied Burrough,
“1 will not do it. If you are dissatisfied
call him back vourself.”
Some words passed between the par
ties, when Alorris then slapped Bur
rough in the face with such torce as to
wheel him about half round. Burrough
drew his stick as in self-defense, when
Morris said, “If you hit me with that
stick I w ill kill you,” at the same time
making a move as if to draw his pistol.
Burrough made an effort to draw his, but
it hitched a little in Ills pocket. It is
said that Alorris got ready first and snap
ped at Burrough’s breast. Burrough re
treated a step or so and both commenced
firing simultaneously, when Alorris was
struck by the first and second shots from
Burrough’s pistol, in the heart and
through the arm. About this time Jo
seph Alorris advanced to the aid of his
brother with an open knife, when Bur
rough just had time to empty his third
shot into the bowels of his second an
tagonist.
Bnrrough then fell back across the rail
road track and fired again at Thompson
Morris, who, with his brother, were still
advancing and firing upon him. His
fifth attempt to shoot was prevented by
the cylinder of his pistol refusing to re
volve. By this time Thompson Alorris’
pistol had been emptied without effect at
Burrough. Tho two brothers, although
mortally wounded, then charged upon
Burrough with rocks and ran him be
tween the Couche and Huson houses,
when he made his escape up the alley to
his residence, where he secured another
pistol and started back, but was met by
some person, who informed him that the
Morrises were both mortally wounded.
After the Alorrises had pursued Bur
rough to the far corner of the Couche
house from the depot, about one hun
dred yards, they attempted to return, hut
both fell at the same time, near the front
corner of the hotel. Thompson ’Morris
died in about thirty minutes. Joseph
Alorris, having been shot through the
femoral artery, lingered in great agony
until about six o’clock, p. m., and the re
mains of the brothers were conveyed to
Acworth on the same train with the ex
cursionists.
Both of these men are said to have
borne the reputation of being clever men.
The elder was the marshal of Acworth,
and the younger was a steady, hard
working young man. who had nothing
to do with the difficulty except to stand
by his brother, who was peaceable
enough except when under the influence
ofdiTnk. Their father, poor old man,
was in Cartersville when the tragedy
took place, and it was his mournful duty
to go up on the evening train to convey
his dead children to their last resting
place. He is said to be a most excellent
citizen of Cobb connty.
We are informed that Burrough states
that he was perfectly cool, and that he
was conscientiously in the dischaige of
his official duty in collecting the fine and
defending his life. He has not yet been
arrested, but his friends say he will be
forthcoming whenever required.

Grand Jury Presentments.
We, the grand jury, selected for the
third week of the adjourned term, May
the 19th, 1879, beg leave to make the fol
lowing general presentments:
Being the last grand jury of an adjourn
ed term, we deem it unnecessary to go
through even the form and ceremony of
examining the hooks and official acts of
our county officers. This duty, when
attended to, is generally done in such a
cursory manner that mistakes wotdd not
apt to lie discovered unless pointed out
by the honest official.
AVe would suggest that the county com
missioners appoint a committee from
their body, whose duty it would f>e, from
time to time, to examine the records and
official acts of our officers, so as to facili
tate the investigations of grand jurors
when they meet.
AVe find all the roads in the county to
he in good condition, as they generally
are in summer, the mud-holes only being
complained of in w inter and early spring.
AA r e, therefore, do not concur w ith the
last grand jury “that the commissioners
of the sixteenth district be presented for
neglect of duty.” We have had testimo
ny before us to prove that the roads in
that district are in better condition than
they have been for twenty years.
The bridge over Pettit’s creek, near
Andrew Baxter’s, and the one over the
same stream near the lime-kiln, and the
one over an arm of Hayes’ mill-jS&nd, and
the bridge over Euharlee creek, on the
old Alabama road—known as Smith’s
bridge—have been presented to us as un
safe, and we would recommend that the
commissioners of the different districts
be required to examine these bridges and
give them all needed repair.
In committee of the whole, we visited
our county jail, and found the building
neatly kept and well ventilated, and the
inmates made as comfortable as the mo
notony of their situation would allow.
As cotton is getting higher, and pro
visions dearer, we recommend that the
sheriff be allowed forty cents per day for
feeding the prisoners.
AVe do not concur in the recommenda
tion of the former grand jury “that the
county commissioners permit the justice
of the peace of the 822d district, G. AL,
to occupy the vacant room in the base
ment of the court house, free of rent.”
The precedent would be a bad one, as
the justices of the other districts could,
with equal propriety, require the county
to furnish each of them with a room to
hold their court in.
The new constitution has required the
legislature to provide by law for the se
lection of intelligent and upright men to
serve as traverse jurors, and the most ex
perienced and intelligent to serve as
grand jurors. AA r e regret this innovation
upon our excellent jury system, as it pro
duces some feeling among our good citi
zens, and the majority of our traverse
jurors will agree with us as to the many
mistakes our commissioners have made
in the division of the box. We would re
spectfully suggest to the honorable com
missioners when they next revise the
jury box to select none but the most in
telligent to serve upon all the juries,
dividing them so that the eldest may
have the easy place of grand juror, whilst
the youngest should fill the traverse jury
box; men physically capable of enduring
the assaults of opposing, intelligent, mus
cular counsel; men who, if fed regular
ly, are capable of holding on to their con
victions in spite of the hard benches in
the court house they are required to
sleep on.
With the usual expressions to his honor
Judge C. D. AlcCnthen for kindness ren
dered, we take the liberty of returning
thanks for the able charge he gave us.
lion. G. H. Bates, solicitor pro tern,
has won golden opinions from us by his
uniform courtesy and kindness to our
body, and his promptness and efficiency
in the discharge of his duties.
The other officers know r what we think
of them.
AVe recommend that, these general pre
sentments be published in both of the
papers at hah* rates.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Ilorine, 4,300 Indiana street, by Rev. T.
J. Sunderland, of Ann Arbor, Alichigan,
Dr. Ulof Oscar Robertson, of the Atlanta
Health Institute, to Aliss Alay Belle Ho

We learn that the above delightful
event was private, but exceedingly bril
liant, and that the elegant parlors of the
bride’s home contained a select few of
the youth and beaut}’- of the great west
ern metropolis. The presents were nu
merous, handsome and substantial. The
happy couple stopped over in Cartersville
among the Doctor’s many Bartow friends
Sunday and Alonday; and, on Monday
night, an elegant reception was given
them by Judge and Mrs. M. G. Dobbins,
at Rowland springs. This affair was UilC
of great pleasure and happiness—a befit
ting welcoming to the beautiful bride to
our sunny southland.
The heartiest and best wishes of a host
of friends follow this congenial couple.
Alay their future be of the rosiest colors,
the cares of life few and, finally, after
the) r have completed life’s duties, may
they find a beautiful home beyond the
skies is the wish of an humble and grate
ful friend.
Card from Mr. W. TV. Baincy.
Kingston, Alay 27, 1879. —Allow me
space in your paper in my own behalf in
reference to a rumor in circulation around
Cartersville. I am informed by a friend
who heard it yesterday, that the killing
of the Morris brothers here last Friday,
grew out of the trouble that existed be
tween myself and the Burroughs. I
knew nothing of the difficulty. I was
down at the picnic, and I don’t suppore
those.men even knew there had ever been
any difference between myself and the
Burroughs.
I think I have confidend enough in
myself, if I get a friend into a difficulty,
to stay with him and bear my portion of
the trouble. It is very true myself and
the Burroughs have disagreed badly, and
I could have had some friends in this
place taking part, but would not submit
to it. I want it distinctly understood
that lam not that kind of a man. I pro
pose to stand in my own hoots, and feel
perfectly able to compete with the Bur
roughs in any way if they will come one
at a time; and any man that even inti
mates that I was in any way implicated
in the affair of last Friday, is an infa
mous liar and the truth is not in him.

This harrow cuts the clods and soils deeper and finer, ami does more execution on the soil in liar
rowing the ground once than any other harrow can do by going over it twice. It covers seeds and
grain better as it thoroughly stirs, levels and smooths the ground. Is a perfect renovator, gras-,
weed and snake killer. It has the cotton choppe’- or sweep w ings which adopt the harrow to u-e a
a cultivator. The cotton chopper is a perfect working implement, and saves the labor of at least -
bands in one day’s use, as one horse and hand chop from 12 to 15 acres a day.
Orders will be filled at short notice for harrow and cotton chopper at resonable prices.
