Fine Syrup,
Mr. G. W, Ellison brought us a
few days ago, a half gallon of syrup,
the product of Ids cano crop last
year. To say that it was fine is not
sufficient; Indeed, it seems to us
that it is impossible to improve
upon It—it is much better than tho
“Golden Drip,” or any other ldgh-
faluten brand wo ever tasted.—
When our farmers can produce
euougli, ami more than enough, of
this fine syrup to do their families
on a mere spot of ground, It is ridic
ulous to see them coming to town
to buy “Nigger Head” molasses at
high figures. It Is a real pleasuie
to have an opportunity to commend
such farmers as Mr. Ellison, and
until our planters learn to niako
their provisions at home (for em
ployes too) they will always be in
trouble,
lowed by the fire of Garvin so close
that the reports of the two guns
were scarcely distinguished. Zorn
thinks he hit Garvin in the breast,
and says ho saw him full, but others
who have been in pursuit of him all
day Thursday and Friday are of the
opinion that lie was not hurt, and
only fell as a blind. Springing to his
feet, Garvin made his escape in the
thick canebreak under cover of the
intense darkness of the night.
Garvins charge, No. -1 shot took
effect in Zorn’s left leg and foot, in
flicting a painful, hut we hope, not
a dangerous wound. Of course, in
his wounded condition Zorn was
compelled to give up the pursuit.
Sheriff Ilaeselev informed us late
this (Friday) evening, that his posse
had him corraled, and he expected
to capture him to-night. Wo fear
not.
whose fault is it?
Justice and candor compels us to
lay the whole blame at the doors of
the county commissioners. Escape
after escape has been made, and
they were fully cognizant of the
unsafe condition of tho jail, and
have been urged to build a jail which
would hold the prisoners; they
know that the jail is littlo better
than an old hen coop, and wouldn’t
hold an enterprising tom cat, and yet
all they have done has been to
nail on a lot of iron bars on the in
side which nny strong man could
wrench off, and which instantly
becomes a powerful lever in the
hands of a prisoner to aid him to
escape. In the present instance
the prisoners used a nail drawn
from one of the commissioners’ burs
to mortice a small hole In the floor,
and the bar itself to break it large
enough to admit of their passage
through. We volunteer the advice
to tho commissioners to go and
take care of their irdn bars, or
theso negro prisoners in escaping
will batter and crook them so com
pletely out of shape that they will
be compelled to buy a new set.—
The county commissioners seem to
bo working for a reputation for
economy, but now, by their refusal
to furnish a safe jail, they havo
succeeded in turning loose a lot of
tlielves, cut-throats and murderers
upon the community, ond getting
u faithful officer badly wounded,
wo hope they wilt see the fallacy
of such a miserably niggardly poli
cy, and immediately set about rem
edying this long existing evil.
