NINE CONVICTS ESCAPE.
While a good many of the em
ployers of the Griffin convict
camp were at Washington
for the purpose of attending the
trial of Robert Cannon, nine of
the convicts at the camp escaped,
leaving only one, who was sick.
This sick man made such a noise
that the escape was discovered,
and they were pursued, but to no
purpose, Dogs wore procured,
but the so-called blood hounds,
instead of following the trail,
turned into hunting rabbits.

I BOB CANNON CASE.
Tried in V.ilkcs Court Lust Wetk.
* / Fount «• Guilty of Involuntary
Man¬
1 slaughter.
j The case against Bob Cannon
"as tried jn Wilkes Superior
court last week and the ease
‘•.vent to the jury late Friday
night.' The following report of
■the case is fron; the Augusta
Chronicle:
The jury brought in a verdict
of involuntary manslaughter,
which was a great surprise to
everyone, but nevertheless meet¬
ing with general approval.
» Judge Reese sentenced Can¬
non to one year at hard labor
on the chain gang, or pay a fine
: gf $500 and costs. A motion was
jjgade before Judge 'Reese for a
new trial.
The consensus of opinion is
that Cannon got off very light
and had best leave well enough
alone.
Hon. Tims. E. Watson \s speech
was a masterpiece of logic and
reasoning, teeming with elo
quence and appealing to the sen
iirnent of the jury. He made a
powerful effort in behalf of his
Solicitor General Lewis’
speech was none the less elo¬
quent and sustained ins reputa¬
tion which is an enviable one.
It is an open secret that the
grand jury have indicted Griffin
Bros., owners of the • camp at
which Cannon whipped the ne¬
gro, Frank McRae, to death, for
having a negro woman whipped
while Kick until she was bloody
as a butchered bee!;'* 1
This case will be pushed to the
fullest extent. The grand jury
and the people of this county are
much stirred up over the mis
treatment of convicts at tin >
camp above ’mentioned.

A RARE INVENTION.
Dr. B. F. Riley is just back
from Greene and . while ,
county,
there he ran across a rare device
in the hands of a citizen of that
coun y.
It 1S an attachment to an alarm
clock, and is so arranged that as
soon as the alarm begins to rings
a little hammer decends upon a
small anvil, strikes a match and
swings it .. into . . position ... to . „ light , , a
lamp that also accompanies the
clock. _ _
Such an invention was patent
ed by a man in Arkansas a few
months since; although in all
probability the Greene county
citizen’s invention antedated that
of the Arkansas man.
This device is a rarely inter¬
esting piece of mechanism.-—

A Timely Friend.
With perfect propriety may wo call
that excellent remedy; Salvation Oil,
a timely friend, This linimfent rapidly
cures rheumatism, hhuralgist and pains,
when other remedies fail. Mr. Jno,
M. Hall, Ashland, Va., writes: “I
suffered w.tli rheumatism mine anxie
and the muscles connected therewith.
Salvation Oil at once relieved the sore
ness, reduced the sweffing and cured
the pain. No other lmiinent that I ever
used did me so much good.”

DIED AT SHARON.
Freeman Iverson, the 12-year
old son of Mrs. Fannie Iverson,
of Atlanta, died at Sharon Sat¬
urday morning from heart trou¬
ble, of which the lad had com¬
plained for a long lime.
The little boy, it seems, was at
play on Saturday at Sharon,
where ho was visiting. His
death oooured a few moments af¬
ter the attack came. ft was re¬
ported that an autopsy had been
held with a view of ascertaining
the exact nat ure of the malady.
This is denied by the dead lad's
relatives.—Atlanta Journal,

FINNEY TALKS.
Linton Finney, the negro mi¬
der sentence to hang at Lexing¬
ton next Friday told the tale
of the killing last week. He
says that a negro by the name of
John Pascal first conceived the
idea-of murdering Mr, Hunly and
Btoanal and Taylor Finney
(|jd thl , U g." Said rrc> P Ao’G.
told John Pascal that Tayl or
would go with him to k ill Hard y.
and that he knew '.V,
ther about it until alter the kill
ing and that John and Taylor
gave him ten dollars of the mon¬
ey to say nothing about it.
John denies in toto the stale
meats of Finney. li<> says he
never made any such proposal docs
to him and never did nor
not now know Taylor Finney.
Yet a thorough investigation of
the matter will be made.
Finney’s execution will bo
