JACKSON COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1881. VVVA/V'A'A AWtt CAAjIAvXN . [Correspondence Chronicle & Constitutionalist.] REDMOND, THE OUTLAW. A Correct Account of the Acts and Doings of the Noted Outlaw. Newport, 11. 1., September 9.—Tlere was a buzz of excitement among the passengers in our car when someone entering stated that Redmond, the notorious Carolina outlaw, was in the smoking car, en route to a New York State penitentiary. That was on the train between Charlotte, N. C., and Danville, Ya., on the afternoon of the 3d instant. I did not join in the rush of the curious to get a sight, of Hie moonshiner, but after supper at Greens boro’ I went forward for a smoke. The aisle of the car was literally packed with people of the station, and not until the train was in motion again could I get a sight of the group of men toward which the crowd had been gazing. There were in all, thfte prisoners and four United States Marshals. I stopped opposite a seat upon which a pale faced youth was sitting with one knee drawn upon the seat. Bending over to him, I asked, in an undertone, “ Can you point out Redmond to me ?” “ Redmond is my name,” was his answer. “ Ah ! but I mean Lewis R. Redmond, the noted outlaw,” I replied. “ I am Lewis R. Redmond,” he answered, lie had the name, hut not the face nor voice nor figure of the man I was looking for, and I required time to reconcile my mind to a possible identity between the red-handed desperado of whom I had read and the tran quil-visagcd, gentle voice before me. I left him and found a seat further on by a man who proved to he one of the Deputy Marshals in charge of the prisoner. But he confirmed the acknowledgment of the young man as being Redmond, the outlaw. Of the score of men in the car—some were New York drummers and a young Episcopal clergyman—there was not one whom I would not have sooner pointed out as the probable moonshiner. Ilis features are of delicate chiseling, expressive of finest sensibilities, his expression amiable and intelligent, his com plexion fair. Ilis hair moustaches, tastefully trimmed, are dark brown. Clearer, softer blue eyes, or of kindlier glances, never look ed from the soul of a girl. Add to this blend ing of personal attractions a vocalism melodi ous and gentle, and the reader will wonder as I did in contemplating him, where existed, and what were the elements of character con stituting this man a law-breaker and man slayer? I was as sure then, before hearing any authentic statement, as I am now, after after having had the history of his life from his own lips, that Lewis R. Redmond was never the murderous fiend the public has had portrayed over his name. “ There is no question,” said Major A. Blythe, United Statc3 Marshal of South Caro lina, to me, “ but that the published accounts of Redmond’s career have been largely over drawn. Ilis life has been devoid of many of the eventful incidents wdth which it is ac credited.” Mr. James S. Simons, of Charleston, Maj- Blythe’s chief deputy, said : “ Redmond’s true history can best be bad from bis own S lips. That he lias daringly and persistently violated the laws is true, but lie pleaded guilty to those charges against him, and Red mond is too brave a fellow to repay confi dence with falsehood. You may 7 relj\ 1 think, upon anything he tells you concerning himself.” redmond’s age and early history. “I am a Georgian by birth,” ho answered to an inquiry of mine. “My birth-place was about twentj r miles from Atlanta. When I was two years old, in 1850, my parents re moved to Transylvania, one of the Western counties of North Carolina. lam now twen ty-seven year? old.” “ How long since your first affair with the Revenue officials?” I asked. “ That was eight years ago, when I was nineteen.” “ That first difficulty,” lie continued, “was forced on me. I did my best to avoid it; but it was pushed on me.” “Tell me the circumstances,” I requested of him. “ W ell, I will go back to the beginning. You see, away back in the mountains where wc lived, there wasn’t much money, for it was a long ways to where crops had to be hauled to sell them. When I was seventeen I be^an D driving cattle across the mountains, and made some money by the business. I never went to school. What little I have learned about books, I had to pick up the best way I could. After I had been trading in cattle about a 3'ear, a widow woman, living neighbor to my folks, was about to be sold out for taxes, and she begged me to lend her money. I let her have thirteen dollars, which paid her out. She tried a whole year to pay me back, and seemed worried about it. At last she asked me to take pay in some whisky she had, and just to oblige her, Mook the whisky and sold it for just enough money to pay back what I lent to her. I didn’t know just how I was breaking the law, for I talked about that like I would about any other trade. There was a FOR THE PEOPLE. Deputy Marshal, named Alfred Duckworth, i who heard about it, and one day lie met me in the road and leveled a pistol at me and told me to surrender. I asked him what I had done, but lie would not tell me, but cursed mo. I had no pistol. I told him to stop pointing his at me, but he kept it leveled at me and kept on cursing ire. The man who was driving my wagon, 1 knew, had a pistol in the feed trough. I ran for it, and we both fired at the same tin e. Ilis bullet just touch ed the head of the driver, but mine killed him. That was my first trouble with a Revenue officer.” *. “ What was done with you for this ?” ‘ Nothing. When the grand jury met the Judge told them that as Duckworth had no warrant, he was acting unlawfully in trying to arrest me by force, and that I was justified in using the same kind of force in resisting arrest. But some of the other Deputy Mar shals were mad at me for killing Duckworth, and began making threats against me. Well, I heard about that, and I got mad like, and said I wouldn’t take a dare, and began trading in whisky then, put of spite I reckon.” “ What other officers have you killed be side Duckworth ?” I asked. “ Duckworth is the only man I ever killed. All these things the papers have said about my killing others besides him are false. I have just seen a book published by Barclay & Cos., of Philadelphia, named ‘Redmond, the Carolina Outlaw.’ They have got my name right, but everything else in the book is a lie. I did try to kill another Marshal named E. 11. Barton. That was in January, 1877. He and a squad of men with him surprised me one night, and had shotguns leveled at iny head when they woke me. They crossed and tied my hands, and then Barton searched me and took one hundred dollars from me, and then gave me a hard kick in my left side. I was mad then, for true. I was just boiling hot. Barton told me to put on my shoes, lie was swearing at me when I stooped down to put them on. He was standing close by me. I jumped up at him ; punched him in the side with my elbow, and as he fell I ran out of the house in the snow barefooted. I found a man who untied my hands. My wrists were bleeding where the ropes had cut them. I jerked up a gun from the man’s house and ran barefooted to the road, where Barton was driving off rav horse and wagon, and shot him in the shoulder. I get three y 7 ears now for that.” “ But did you not make a raid on Barton after that ?” was asked. '* Yes, I got some satisfaction out of Bar ton. A week after that I got some of my friends together and started for Barton’s house, in Pickens county, S. C., to get back what he had taken from me. The others wanted to go at night, but I didn’t want to go in a cowardly way so we went to Barton’s at sun up. lie saw us corning and I saw him hiding. I went to the door and his wife told me that Barton had gone to Columbia. When I told her I knew he was at home she began crying and begged me not to kill Bar ton. I told her I only wanted to see him to get back what he had stolen from me. I knew he had no right to take that money from me. Well, she went in the yard and called Barton, and he crawled from under the house and crept on his all-fours begging me not to shoot him. I told him I wanted my money, lie said he had no money, but offered me a check for a hundred dollars. I said I would not take it, as I didn’t know whether I could get any money for it. Then his wife said she would ride with me to Easley’s Station and get the money on it for me, and so we rode side by side to the station and got the money. When I got back to Barton’s lie wanted me to take bis two horses in place of the two he had taken from me, and he sent for two of his neighbors to witness that he voluntarily gave them to me in payment for the two he took.’’ ‘‘You had many raiding parties after you from time to time “ Yes, I have been shot at one hundred and sixty-two times.” There was no boastfulness in Redmond’s recitation of these and other incidents, but when he was telling of the occurrence of his arrest and ill-usage by Barton, I began to read the secret of his desperado life. The mild blue eyes underwent a transformation of expression, and of color, and in the re, membrance of Barton’s indignities toward him, his face became cruel in its rigid lir>es. llis voice too, though no louder, was for the time harder of tone. ‘‘Did you continue in violation of the revenue laws up to the time of your arrest in April ?” I asked. ‘‘Oh, no,” he replied, “ not for about three years before that. My mother died, and about two weck3 after my father also. I have four sisters, and one of them, the youngest, has been crippled since she was a little girl, and goes on crutches like I now do. When my mother was dying she beg ged me to take care of my sisters. I loved my mother and my sisters, and I promised ray mother to do as she asked. So I gave out word that I had gone to Texas and moved into Swaync county, further west, in the mountains, and settled down to farming.” IIOW L’KDMOXI) WAS CATTI'III'D. “ I had married,” he continued, “ and was living a peaceable life. One day I was shell ing corn, to go to the mill, when my dog treed a squirrel in the woods near the house. My wife, who had been sick, called ine and asked ine to kill the squirrel for her. I got my rifle and shot it. Six men were hid be hind a fence within thirty five steps of me. and when my rifle was empty and my back turned to them they rose and tired at me. I did not think of a revenue officer being in a hundred miles of me. and so you may I now that the two bullets that had gone through me surprised me some. As I turned round lacing them they fired another round, and then kept on until thirty-six shots had been fired, five through ray body and this one which is in my knee now. I caught hold of a sapling to hold rip by, and shot up as I was, one of them ordered me to throw up ray hands.” “ Did you obey ?” “ No.” “ Did you answer him ?” “ I told him 1 would die before I would raise my hands to cowards who would shoot an unarmed man in the back.” With five bullet holes through his body and a bullet lodged in his knee, with coun try nursing and doctoring, and prison fare and accommodation, within five months Lewis R. Redmond has wellnigli entirely recovered. Marshal Bly the and his several deputies speak in pleasantest terms of Redmond. Ilis conduct since his removal to Greenville, S. C., where ho was tried and sentenced, has won for him universal sympathy, and from no persons more so than the Deputy Marshals, some of whom had for years been after him. And I venture the assertion here, that had the revenue officials who waged war against the untutored young mountaineer eight years ago been of the class of men of Marshal Blythe and his deputies, we would never have read of Redmond the outlaw. To the swag gering and insole t demeanor of the character less hirelings of the Revenue Department eight years lias the Government been indebted for the conversion of a high strung and fear less youth into the moonshiner, who cost it a mint of money to secure his capture and punishment. Lewis R. Redmond,condemned to ten years of penal servitude in a Northern prison, is by nature the superior of many an occupant of high military 7 and c ; vic trusts in our country 7 . I would like to see the gallant young fellow the recipient of a full pardon with an offer of a place in the ranks of the United Slates army. Russell. The Prevention of Disease. “ Prevention is better than cure and far cheaper,” said John Locke, two hundred years ago ; and the history of medical science has since made it more and more probable that, in a stricter sense of the word, preven tion is the only possible cure. By observing the health laws of nature, a sound constitu tion can be very easily preserved, hut, if a violation of those laws lias brought on a dis ease, all we can do by way of “curing” that disease is to remove the cause; in other words, to prevent the continued operation of the predisposing circumstances. Suppressing the symptoms in any other way means only to change the form of the disease, or to postpone its crisis. Thus, mer curial salves will cleanse the skin by driving the ulcers from the surface to the interior of the body ; opiates stop a llux only by para lyzing the bowels— i. e., turning their morbid activity into a morbid inactivity ; the symp toms of pneumonia can be suppressed by bleeding the patient till the exhausted system has postponed the crisis of the disease. This process, the “ breaking up of a sickness,” in the language of the old school allopathists, is, therefore, in reality, only an interrupting of it, a temporary interruption of the symptoms. We might as well try to cure tiie sleepiness of a weary child by pinching its eyelids, or the hunger of a whining dog by compressing his throat. Drugs are not wholly useless. If my life depended upon a job of work that had to he finished before morning, and the inclination to fall asleep was getting irresistible, I should not hesitate to defy nature, and keep myself awake with cup after cupful of strong black colfee. If I were afflicted with a sore, spread ing rapidly from ray temple toward my nose, I should suppress it by the shortest process, even by deliberately producing a larger sore elsewhere, rather than let the smaller one destroy my eyesight. There are also two or three forms of disease which have (thus far) resisted all unmedicinal cures, and can hardly be trusted to the healing power of nature— the lues venerea, scabies, and prurigo—be cause, as Claude Bernard suggests, their symp toms are probably duo to the agency of microscopic parasites, which oppose to the action of the vital forces a life energy ot their own, or, as Dr. Jennings puts it, “ because art has here to interfere—not for the purpose of breaking up diseased action, but for the removal of the cause of that action, the destruction of an active virus that possesses the power of self-perpetuation beyond the dislodging ability of nature.” But with those rare exceptions it is better to_, direct our ellbrLs rur.-dnut. 'lw ..n..,. \ TERMS, $1.50 PER ANNUM. ) SI.OO for Six Months. rather than the symptoms— i. e., in about ninety-nine eases out of a hundred it is not only the safer but also the shorter way to avoid drugs, reform our habits, and, for the’ rest, let nature have her course ; for, properly speaking, disease itself is a reconstructive process, an expulsive effort, whose interrup tion compels nature to do double work ; to resume her operations against the ailment after expelling a worse enemy—the drugs. If a drugged patient recovers, the true ex [•lunation is that his constitution was strum* - enough to overcome both the disease and the druggist.— Dr. Felix L. Oswald, in Popular Science Monthly. Flashes of Fashion. Stripes run lengthwise. The rage for beads is on the wane. White toilets will be worn until frost. Crinolets are bustles, with anew name. Dolmans will bo the leading fall wraps. Basques and jackets are still fashionable.' Shoulder capes and fichus will be much' worn. Great latitude is permitted in the shapes of sleeves. Loose-wristed long gloves will be more worn than ever. Ombre plushes will be used as trimmings on costumes. Flowers are used on evening toilets to an unlimited extent. Striped moire ribbons - will' triba’ many of the early fall bonnets. All costumes arid suits are composed of two or several fabrics.- There will be a rapid demand for dolmans’ and dolman sacqucs this fall. Some of the new trimming silks have alter nating stripes, r,ioire and dumusW. Quantities of Spanish lace, white, black,- cream, and colored, is a feature in fall toilets.- Dolmans in the saeque-visite shape, and' dolman mantles'will lead tli6 stylos for carty* fall. Some of the new plush goods have im-' mensely long pile cut in irregular depths to' form the figures. Ilorsc-hair cloth, mohair,-steel and whale bone-stiffened crinolets, will be worn untiD cold weather. Tow quartered buttoned half boots will bo worn until the middle of September or first' of October. Lawn tennis suiting in gay stripes will be J worn as skirts for fatigue suits until the mid-' die of November. Rhino-crystal clasps, buckles, medallions and slides ornament various parts of the most ■ fashionable evening toilets. Chenille plush stripes, on satin merveilleux grounds, are seen among some of the new 1 trimming stuffs. The popular out door sports for the months of September, October, and November, will* be archery and lawn tennis. Sleeves arc long, deuii-long, or three-quar-* ter lengths, according to fancy; tight, shir red, or puffed, as the wearer prefers. The hair is most fashionable when dressed* low and close, but women with large necks and fat laces should wear it high or off the' neck. Pleated collarettes of muli, plain white, dotted, embroidered, and polka-dotted in' black and colors, arc much worn, with scarf bows to match. Some of the striped goods, in bright colors, with gold and silver hair-lines, are crossed' 1 diagonally with stripes formed by the Weav ing of the cloth. The Princess of Wales wore a toilet of silver-gray tulle, much puffed, pleated and* draped, and brightened with diamond orna> merits at the Queen’s last hull. Terra cotta shades combine well with’ porcelain-blue, peacock-green, black, maroon' and white, especially in stripes outlined with 1 gold and silver threads shot in. Dresses composed entirely of tulle, pleated, shirred and gathered, are not, at the moment, considered too youthful for young married ladies for ball room wear. White and cream-colored mull scarfs, with' the ends edged with fine cream-colored* (imitation), Mechlin, Valenciennes and Breton l laces trim English straws for early fall wear. Plush chenille fringes, with each small strand tipped with one fitac cut jet bead, are' brought out to be used with the plush bands,, shirrings, and pleating that trim eloaks and* costumes. White Surah, combined with witc satiw merveilleux, ai*d trimmed with white Spanish* lace, white satin bows, and Rhine-crystal ornaments, makes the handsomest of all white' evening toilets. Flowers of the fall season, particularly ox eye daisies, small sunflowers, goldcnrod* and yellow roses, will trim many of the rough and-ready straw hats and bonnets for Septem ber and October. The most popular fatigue suit for fall wear is a box-pleated hunting jacket and looped tunic, of blue, dark green or maroon flannel* serge, drawn up high on the hips over jiskirt of lawn tennis striped suiting, made plain as a rule, but sometimes trimmed with a two inch wide box-pleated rtvdie around the bottom. The collar, cuff., belt, and rocket pouch are of the striped stuff.— Ehrick's NUMBER 31.
