The particulars as given by.Gilbert
Matthews in regard to the shooting
neai Meansville, Pike county, Ga.,
are: Gilbert Matthews said the par
ty hailed in about ten feet of door
and be stepped to door and opened
it and they came right in on him
and let in to shooting and knocking,
and in the tussle they got out of
doors into yard and he got three of
them down, and was holding them
down, at one time. And they got
from him and as they did he slammed
one of them against a tree and then
they let in to shooting, and after
shooting several shots they then run
off, and wbilo they were in the house
if he had not thrown up the gun they
would have killed his wife. His leg !
is broken all to pieces from the ankle |
to the knee, and his half '
up arm way
from elbow to hand is shivered up
and his head is full of shot and two
or three in his ear and they gave
him one lick on tLe bead. They
were all black. He was turned loose
from Capt. James’ ebaingang about
the middle of December last, where
he had served twenty years. He was
sent for killing a black boy. Tuey
were gambling, and he taking up the
mouey and as he run Green shot him.
He.was not sent for rape,as everybody
says; no sir, he was sent for killing
his own color, and thinks that the
parties that had bim up now were
black.He is trying to get np money to
send to Macon after a doctor. The
writer will here state from the best
information that cau be got that the
whole eight men were negroes and
not white men, nor were from Macon
either; it was negroes in the settle
ment and no doubt bis wife was the
cause of all of it; sbe is a noted char
liner.
Mr. Editor, I see a great deal said
about the third party. \Vbnt does it
meant Does it mean the calling
back of the charter of 1713 t No, I
hot think that, but to think for
moment it is nothing else. In
the stato of Georgia was chart
under the charter called Aboli
and prohibition then was on
in Georgia for 30 years; and
the end of 30 years Georgia had
in population and agricul
so that the trustees reported
condition of affairs back to King
tho third and King George
third called her charter back and
was then chartered as slavo

At a meeting of Stonewall Fire
No. 2 on Monday night, the fol
resolutions were adopted,
speak for themselves:
Whereas, At a recent meeting of
city council of Griffin, n petition
Stonewall Fire Co., to carry
engine to Americus was igner
with a spirit of disrespect and vin
by a f~,v members cl
body. We desire in this man
and now, to reiterate our opinion
expressed. That such ac
on tho part of those members
council was childish and beneath
dignity of true men, who were
to legislate for tho best inter
of the city and not to vent mal
against one of the strongest arms
protection which Gtiffiu has
Firo Co. No. 2. And
tho council may forget the best
of the city, yet Stonewall
2 will ever be found battling for
and her widwurc Therefore
it resolved,
That Stonewall has the right to
her apparatus to Americus, yet
f ' l that the protection of Griffin
dearer to us than our desire for
Wo wiil therefore leave
engiro and a sqtffld of efficient
to guard and protect Griffin,
we go to Americus with our
wheel reel and a small number
participate in the tournament.
Resolved. That these resolutions
spread vu ;hc minutes and pub
in tho daily papers.
