A GOOD WOItl) FOR BRANTLEY.
The Man Who Was Lynched at Balnhrldfe
Thought to be Inesne.
Troy, Ala., August 2, 1SS4.—
Editors Telegraph & Messenger: in
your issUe of the 30th inst., I notief
a dispatch from Bainbridge, Gal
giving an account of the lynching
of T. K. Brantley, Jr., stating he was
from this place. 1 desire to say he
was from Sumpter county, Ala.,
Where his father now lives, a high-
toned and respected citizen.
He came to Troy in September
1883, and remained uutil March 18S4,
during which time he was salesman
with the firm of T. K. Brantly &S011.
During his stay in Troy he conducted
himself in a gentlemanly manner at
all times, and won many friends who
are pained as shocked to hear of his
unfortuate death. I received a letter
a few days ago stating he was insane.
His brother received one stating the

Mr. Johnson Did What he Could to Make
His Last Resting Place Secure.
Noriustown, Pa., August 2.—
Charles Johnson, aged So, an ec
centric bachelor, was buried in the
Norristown cemetery yesterday,
lie had always had a great horror
ol grave robbers. His cdfiin rested
on a stone foundation. An iron
cover w is laid on the coffin I'd ami
firmly riveted to an iron fr.ims work
that was securely fastened into the
stone work below. A stone vault
surrounded the coffin, and the vault
was closed by a flagstone, which
was securely cemented down.
Thirty ycais ago Mr. Johnson
placed $500 in his vest pocket,
saying to his bachelor brother:
“Ike, when I die use this money
to bury me til such a war that grave
robbers can’t get at me.”
Ike replied: All right, Charlie,
hid brother and either place him
an asylum or convey him to his home
near Livingston. Ala., but before he
, '*’ ns had gone halt the distance he saw
the sad intelligence of his death in
your paper. From what I know ot
the young man, I feel satisfied
he Was insane, as the charges
brought against him are so unlike
him. He was naturally one of the
most warm-hearted boys in the
world, and never in all his dealings
showed a disposition to be cruel to
anything. It is a vety sad affair
and has cast a gloom over many
hearts and happy homss, which I
believe could have been averted it

For thirty years Charles carried
that toll of money constantly about
him, and when he died the bills,
done up in an oil skin, were taken-
from liis old vest. Isaac, true to
his promise, "buried his brother
right.” He ordered a rosewood
casket, and personally superintend
ed the arrangements.
They had kept the hotel together
and then went into the lime burning
bu iness. They accumulated near
ly $200,000. They never married,
but kept house by themselves and
their dwelling was as neat and clean
as a pin. Chotlcs suffered from a
stroke of paralysis five years ago.
Both brothers had a horror of bur-
glars.
Charles made two wills, but he
had a superstition that if he signed
either one of them he would surely
die. He postponed signing until it
was too lute, and lie died, therefore,
without a will. His fortune will
now be divided between his brother
and distant relatives.
Going Into Battle.
Cincinnati Times Star.
Said Capt. George W. Stone
yesterday : “I don’t believe any, man
ever went into battle without feel
ing frightened. I know I never
did. I’ll tell you when a mau feels
badly. It’s when he’s forming his
men into line for a big battle while
a tide skirmish file is kept up ail
the time. Every minute or so some
one, maybe your best friend, stand-
ing right next to you, will
shriek out: “Oh, my God!”-and f»ll
back dead, yet you cannot lot
your men fire, lor the at my must be
drawn up first. There is plenty of
time to think. You don’t dure to
retaliate in any way. The next
bullet may find your heart, and your
children will lie left fatherless. It
is a moment that tries the bravest
man, because lie has to stand quiet
and lake it all. But when the order
comes to fight and the excitement
of the battle arises, fear passes away.
You have something to do. You
have a duty to perform at any cost.
Bullets drive i.ito the ground at
your feet, sending up little clouds of
dust. They whistle past your *ars
and cut holes in your clothing.
Shells and shrapnel kill your com
rades and leave you living, and soon
there comes a feeling that some
good fortune has preserved you and
will protect you, an J the fiesire to
do as much damage to the enemy
alone fills your mind. That was
my experience in the army, and I
don’t believe that, the man lived
who did not feel at the commence
ment of a fight that he would rather
be somewhere else."
