Since Grover Cleveland side
tracked fiom the democratic fret
coinage measure, he is charged a
being in league with Wall street
Grover may be wrong, but his pas:
record refute any charge of dis
honesty or incincerity.
Bankston, of the Ringgold New
South, created a sensation at tin
meeting of the Georgia Press Asso
ciation last week, and certain pa
pers admit the same course take?
by “a man of prominence” would
have carried the State by storm
Trox is now a man of prominence,
(at least he has won his spurs) and
his next effort must take.
Death is solemn, and in its pres
ence we may feel appalled, but
when such hardened criminals as
Ward are struck down while en
gaged in a hellish purpose, we can
but feel that the restraining hand
of God was put forth to cut short
a life when no hope existed for a
better future.
The half column of gratuitous
advice so generously bestowed up
on his “cousin Ben” by the “meek
and lowly” editor of the Marion
County Democrat is wasted upon
the “desert air” so far as concerns
his “cousin Ben.” If our dear coz,
would pattern more afrer the style
accoided to John M. Palme*-, the
war editor of the Richmond Ex
aminer, by John Estin Cook, it
would be a variation from his usu
al monotonous twang, While our
“style” does not meet with the ap
proval of our dearly beloved coz. it
seems to be unusually acceptable
with our patrons who have had a
demonstration of Havron’s idea of
how the “thing ought to be did.”
The following expresses the
opinion of an editor who attended
the Chattanooga convention June
10th, and who did not imbibe
enough enthusiasm to take away
his sense of right and of justice.
Thanks Mr. Mattice.
“We candidly think that the
convention over reached itself a
little in assuming to act for the
three States mentioned and were
inclined to agree with the remarks
of Editor Brock, of Trenton, Ga,
but the convention was overflowing
with so-called enthusiasm and Mr.
Brock was sat down upon ; and, be
sides that, was grossly misrepre
sented by the Chattanooga Times
the next day.”—The Dunlap Tri-
I bune.
On June the 12th, we requested
the Chattanooga News to publish a.
letter from us in reply to a false |
statement of our position upon a
certain question before tin' Worlds
Fair Convention, which appeared
in a Chattanooga paper. In an
editorial the News said “we do not
believe in giving the poor lone one
the dignity of according him an
explanation.” With our limited
knowledge of the English language
we thought the sentence directed
to us, as we were the one and the
only one to ask for an explanation.
The News now says the sentence
quoted, referred to the reporter of
the Times who falsely stated u our
position and that we said naughty
things of the News without any
provocation. Will the News please
pardon us for having committed a
grievous where ignorance
alone is the only excuse. If the
News really struck at that shell of
errors who represented the Times
and who misrepresented us, then
we say strike him again, but in
such a manner that it will not be
taken as a strike at us.

Getting Ready.
Preparations are going on rapid
ly and every filing is getting in
“ship-shape” for lie grand barbe
cue July 4th.
If we are to judge from present
indications we would say the bai
becus would be a success far be
yond our expectations. While
contributions are coming in every
day, the committee yet has more
work to do and will need funds to
pay a band and for the purpose of
purchasing meats etc. Those in
terested in the most worthy un
deriaking should contribute at
once, so that the committee will
not feel hampered and that they
may know what is in sight.
3LOOO AND DEATH.
I'll REIS COimtrttS KILLED AND TWO
0 UAiD.'H MURDERED.
At the “slope camp” of the Dade
Coal Cos., last Monday morning at
about 5 o’clock, seven convicts
made a desperate break for liberty
m undertaking in which only two
were successful.
The names of those engaged in
the effort to escape were Ward.
Lansdown and his son, Palmer,
Green, Retherford and Wavman,
the four former were white men.
As usual the convicts were or
dered out to work, hut the seven
connected with the plot to escape,
remained behind upon the pretext
that they were to go into the water
that day and would require over
alls. They thus were allowed to
remain by the boss who was not
acquainted with the facts and who
thought the reasons good and suffi
cient
At a favorable opportunity while
conversing with the camp boss,
Jim Moreland, the boss was seized
and his pistol demanded which af
ter being secured Moreland was
pushed on in front as a shield to
the convichs. Jesse Rankin who
had the keys to the stockade gate
was also seized and the keys ta
ken. Rankin was then pushed in
front by Ward, the safe burglar,
until Rankin threw Ward off and
made his escape in search of arms
Moreland then made a desperate
effort to release himself from Pal
mer who shot him through the low
er jaw, ranging downward into tin
neck.
Then came the rush by all of the
seven for the guard house in which
they expected to more completely
arm themselves. Only one gun
was obtained and with the three
pistols obtained from some un
known source and with the pistol
obtained from Moreland a perfect
fusilade was kept up upon the
guards who were firing into the
guard house through the door and
windows. It was from the door of
the house that Lansdown shot and
killed Pat Rowland, one of the
guards, and while standing in the
same door Sam Green received his
death wound in the breast, proba
bly fired by Wm. Maxwell, a guard
who he.d an exposed position from
which he had a good opportunity
to tire upon the gflard house. The
elder Lansdown was also killed in
the guard house or office. By this
time several guards had directed
their fire upon the house and a
perfect storm of shot were being
poured into thy building from ev
ery direction.
To stay inside meant death and
a desperate rush was made upon
the guards, who with but one ex
ception stood their ground nobly.
The desperation of the surviving
convicts was met by the cool brav
ery of the guards. Jack Rankin
fired an I Palmer fell just at the
foot of a large pile of slate, over
which he attempted to escape.
Ward, who had the gun taken from
the otrico, tired and killed Rankin
who had not seen Ward in time to
lire upon him for his own protec
tion.
Ward was heard to say, “anoth
er one ot the d —d rascals killed,"
just as he reached the top of the
slate pile, where Lunsford, one of
the guards, fired at a distance ( f
about eighty yards and Ward
jumped straight up. and fell face
foremost on iho slate. As an echo,
came the exact words of Ward
from a convict “trusty” who was a
disinterested spectator. Ward re
ceived his death wound from a
shot which entered at the eye and
ranged upward through the head,
besides being shot through the
hand which shot carried off a fin
ger njuring the gun. Ward
was heard to mourn, “oil my baud,
and my head is all torn up.” These
were his last words as he r< mainod
in a stupor until 2 o’clock the fol
lowing morning when death ensu
ed. Of the seven who made the
desperate effort only three escaped
the guard line, two of wnom were
wounded.
A pursuing party with dogs wen
put upon the trail which indicated
that ail three luid not taken the
same route. After following on
trail some time, young Lansdown
who had been shot, through the
thigh was captured without re
sistance, in a field near George
Hughes. The other two were fol
lowed by the dogs for several hours
and the trail was lost near Noah
Killians. Rutherford is thought
to be wounded. Palmer who was
at first thought fp be faially
wounded may recover. Ward, the
leader in the plot, has had Jiree
pistols in his possession for some
time but it was only decided last
Sunday that the attempt would be
made on the following morning.
Lansdown says, loss of life was not
to be considered in making the
de: Derate effort
Janies Moreland, the Captain of
the camp is suffering with a wound
through the leg, besides the more
dangerous one in the neck and his
life is despaired of. Mr. Moreland
is well known and highly esteemed
in Dade county and much indigna
tion is felt for the brutal manner
in which he was assaulted and shot.
The officials of the Dade Coal Cos.,
are giving him the most consider
ate attention.
Jack Rankin leaves a wife and
children to whom he was devoted
m life.
Honor to the brave guards who at
tempted to repel the murderous as
sault and let Justice be meted out
to the* desperate criminals \vlio .es
caped death, is the sentiment of
every good citizen of Dade
county.
