<pi H .1 1 ■ - —' -x- - 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. •jo** 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.
