Concrning the Elbert County Outrage,
Editor of the Banner: Your re
porter made one mistake in his account
of tbe arrest and whipping of the negro
George Clarke, recently arrested in
this county by an armed band of men at
night and so badly whipped in Elbert
county after his release from jail.
The ao-oalled arrest in this county
was made by the deputy sheriff of Ogle
thorpe county, and not Elbert county as
you published it.
I went toElberton purposely to find
out what warrants the negro bad been
arretted on, and I found that the two
(2) warrants for misdemeanor upon
ib he was held had been sworn out
after the negro reached Elbert in the
custody of the deputy sheriff, George
unningham, of Oglethorpe.
I understand that some of the posse
who accompanied this denuty claim
that be bad a warrant for the prisoner.
If he did, it is very strange that he
failed to return Us warrant with his
prisoner, and the only warrants on
which the negro was held were those
sworn out after he was carried to Elbert
county. I propose to see to it that the
courts of this oonnty investigate this
transaction so far as the illegal arrest is
ooncernad, and it remains to be seen
whether the courts of Elbert opunty
will take notice of tbe flagrant outrage
perpetrated upon the peraou of a harm
less, barefoot negro after he had been
released from tbe oustody of the law.
I cannot dismiss this matter without
cjnakiog one farther remark upon this
subject:, and it is this: if bona fide war
rants exist for the arrest of any parties
in this county, why should our officers
be ignored in suoh style? When did the
sheriff or other officers of this county
ever fail to exeoute promptly any war
rants placed in their hauds? This
makes the second raid that has been
made upon the negroes in Puryear’s
district this spring by men claiming to
be officers from otheT counties, and
claiming to have warrants in their pos
session. There can be only one answer
to suoh conduot, and that is that the
prosecution is not honest and bona fide.
Mark you, in both cases cited, the war
rants were for crimes alleged to have
been committed months ago and tho
negroes arrested in both instances were
living on a plantation in this county
where they had been working for several
months—one for years in fact, and tho
other one ever sinoe last September. In
neither case was a bench warrant to be
executed. In one case no warrant was
bad at all, as I have shown—in the
other caae the warrant claimed to have
been bad was one sworn out on infor
mation for a crime alleged to have been
committed six months or more before
Such conduct on the part of these mid
night marauders is not only & reflection
upon our own officers, but an insult to
our county. I do not believe that such
outlawry should be allowed to go un
noticed but should be held up to tbe
scorn and contempt which it so richly
deserves.

New Orleans, May 2®. — Sunday
evening, a few minutes before f o’clock
the train bearing the remains of the
late Confederate chieftain, his two
daughters and the escort, pulled out
from New Orleans and began its long
journey to Richmond.
At 4:30 p. m., the city hall, wherein
the remains had been placed for tin
last solemn services before being car
ried away from the Crescent City, win
filled with friends and followers of tin
dead leader, and hundreds, who coulu
not get into the small space allotted ti>
tbe crowd, remained outside while the
services were being held.
The veterans of the Soldiers’ Home
had filed through the hall and taken a
last look at the casket and then retired
to tbe sidewalk where they awaited the
time of taking thtir places in rank^
and following the cortege to the depot
Promptly at 4:30 Governor Foster en
tered the hall leaning on the arm of
General Stephen D. Lee, and behind
came Lieutenant Governor Parlaugi
and leading lights in .the ranks of tli
veterans. They gathered on the platform,
mingling with the Richmond commit
tee, who wore the confederate uniform
in honor of the occasion. In a fev.
minutes there was a parting of tlx
ranks of the throng in the hall, am
Miss Winnie Davis, leaning on the am
of Mr. Ambrose McGinnis, End folio wi-i
by her sister, Mrs. Hayes, and the bu.-
band of the latter, passed np to th
platform. Both ladies were dressed ii.
black.
Then the Ceremonies Began.
Governor Foster stepped forward be
neath an arch of shrubbery, and in
strong, clear voice spoke for Louisiana
delivering an eloquent and touching
tribute to the virtues of the dead
leader.
..When the governor had finished hi*
address, which was listened to wit*-
profound attention. Vice President Gil
more, of the army of northeu
Virginia, read tbe order of Mrs. Davi.
for the removal of the body and thi
letter of Mayor Eliyson requesting th<
army of northern Virginia to delivei
the body to General Glynn. These let
ters were made pnblic for the first time
upon that occasion. Then Rev. A.
Gordon Blakewell, who had served all
through the- four years of bitter war
and who wore a confederate chaplain'
bat, came forward and led the audienc-
in prayer, the members of the Dav.
family standing with the rest of thos-
who were presenW-
When the prayer was concluded star
dy veterans raised the casket from it
resting place and bore it out of the bal
and down the stairs to the funeral ca:
in waiting amid the strains of dirgefn
music.
The funeral car was the same as use
on the day of the funeral of Mr. Davi
in this city. It was built especially to.
N& purpose widths superstructure is
almost entirely of glass so that tue cas
ket will be visible as the tram rushet

interior of the polished car was effect
ually draped in black, heavy streamer?
being fastened-beneath the rafters sup-
p >rting the root. The floral offerin y
were placed at the head of the casket
and they, too. will be visible through
the trip.
A gnard of honor was selected from
the escort and was immediately put
upon duty, and then tne public was
permitted to pay its respect end to take
a last fond farewell of the remains.
The procession reaolTed the train at 0
o’clock p. m., and it was nearly 8 o'clock
before the party got under way. The
train is inad« up of a locomotire and
tender, baggage car, an ordinary coacb.

vate car.
The latter will be used by the Davie
feniily and Mayor Eliyson, and Mi:s

are three locomotives with steam in
their boilers and all or any of these wiil

A large escort of honor, comprising
civil and military officers accompanied
the remains to the depot.
cau-xag vne precious oast, i-etnmmg

were borne on th< ir way to Greenville,

solemn services of reinterment takes
place. ' .
Miss Winnie, the Daughter of the
Confederacy, and her sister, Mrs.
Hayes, have each met with marked at

At Davis* 014 Home.
Mobile, May 29.—At Beauvoir, Mr.
Davis' old home, the track and station
platform had been carpeted with inost
beantiiftl and fragrant snow-white
rhododendrons. The little children of
Beauvoir thus paid their tribute to the
memory of one whose declining years
had been passed at..that place. It hud
been expected that the escort would
have time to visit Davis’s residence,
bnt the stay was too short for this pur
pose.
Here, the Senames company of Con
federate veterans was drawn up, 200
strong, on the platform with the cam;
flag floating in the breeze, while a bat
tery of Alabama state artillery fired i
salute of 20 gnus.
There was a great crowd here t
welcome the train, and fully 1,000 pro
pie took what view they could of the
casket. No one was allowed to enter
the car, as it was manifestly impossibh
that all could be admitted. The trail,
pulled ont for Montgomery at 13:2i’

“Th« Confederate White House**
has been doing duty as a public school
for many years. It would be pro
nounced queer looking anywhere save
in Richmond. The front on the streei
is like that of any ordinary square man
sion, with the hall in the center and
with a flat roof. But passing direct’v
through the hall to what should be the
rear one comes out upon a wide gallery,
having a lofty roof level with the tioo-
of the third story supported by massive
pillars. From the gallery you look out
upon a great yard, shut off from the
side staeet by a high brick wall.
The mansion faces in. It is imposing
when seen from the yard. The ground
floor is a better' arrangement than tha.
of the other “White House” at Wasli
ington. Reception rooms open iru.>
each other aud into the central hall,
which alone is large enough for any
ordinary gathering, while the hall ano
the surrounding rooms afford acorn
plete circuit for a moving throng.
Different apartments are still known
as “the cabinet room,” the reception
parlor,” the state diuing room,” and so
on, as in the years of 1801-5. But all of
them, to intents and purposes, are still
schoolrooms.

Montgomery, "May 29.—The casket
reached here at a very early hour and
as soon as the trains from various sec
tions had come in, bringing hundred-
of people, the procession, with all th<-
solemnity of a funeral cortege, marched
up Commerce street to court square,
and then turning to the left proceeded
up a gradually rising hill to the old
capitol on its crest, at the end of the
street.
The Jeffersen Volunteers and the
Montgomery Grays gathered abont thr
observation car, one company on eithe:
side, while behind them pressed th<
multitude to gaze upon the bank o'
flowers within, beneath which rests
the ashes of Jefferson Davis.
It was a solemn scene, for the only
sounds that broke the silence of tii
morning was the sharp word of coin
mand from the soldiers, the tramp oi
moving feet upon the platform and the
booming of the minute gun.
Hundreds of men and women who
had seen Mr. Davis inaugurated as
president watched his coffined form
borne up the long stone steps across tbe
portico where he delivered his inaugu
ral speech.
The casket was borne to the cata
falque just in front of the supreme
bench and there deposited, while the
people passed it in solemn silence, Over
the bench draped in half mourning lilac-
colors hung the portrait of Mr. Davis,
about it, with its tattered folds tacked
upon th-' wall, being the laree confeder
ate fl g that floated o.'tr Tort Sumter
The Alaoama veterans were first to
file past the casket. It was placed in
position, and then came several hun
dred ladies, members of the Memorial
association. Each one bore in her hand
a small bunch of white flowers, which
were placed with loving hands upon
the casket. After them several bun
dred school children, who had heard
their fathers talk of Davis, passed by
and looked for a moment at the caske:
containing the hero’s death.
The chief feature of the day was the
silence filling the courtroom even when
the largest crowd was present. Man'
of the stores were closed, and every
body, men.women and children,climbed
the capitol hill to look for a brief mo
ment on the flower covered casket.
After being viewed by hnndreds of the
people the casket was returned to the
train and the journey to Atlanta began
Next Stop at Atlanta.

TO CLOSE ITS DOORS-
Citizen wishes the Dispensary to
Close at Six O’clock.
Ed. Banner : Meet of the business
houses of Athens have, in their wise
judgment, concluded to close their pla-
ees of business at six o’clock in the af
ternoons and turn their clerks and em
ployes loose until next morning. Now
this is right and proper, and I have
never heard a word of complaint
against them for so doing.
The object of this communication is
to ask the Commissioners of tbe dis
pensary to be as generous to their em
ployees as tbe other merchants of the
city. They are perhaps the hardest
worked clerks in Athens, working now
14 hoars per day. Now it does seem to
me that if we can get along without
complaint for the dosing of the grocery
and dry goods stores at 6, we certainly
would suffer no inconvenience to have
the dispensary closed at the same hour,
and thereby give to these clerks the
same-privilege that others of the same
class are enj lying. Let us as good cit
izens call the attention of the Commis
sioners to this, and I feel confl ’ent they
as good men and citizens will readily
see it aa we do.

Not getting any news from the cy
clone up the Northeastern road a re
porter of the Banner was sent up to
Gillsville, where the cloud seemed to
fall the heaviest.
The reporter heard that at Gaines-
llle the Gower house was unroofed
nd one of Hon. A. D. Candler’s fine
Houses was blown down. It then came
towards Gillsville, sweeping everything
in its terrific course.
At Candler’s oreek, near Gillsville, it
struck the house of Mr. L. Mulliken
and blew the top off of the house and
blew the front yard fence into the par
lor. There was a table in tbe parlor
with a lamp sitting on it and the plank
from the fence was thrown all around
the table, and strange to say did net
hurt the table or break the lamp.
Near this place was a house in whioh
one of Dr. Hampton’s renters lived-,
the house was completely demolished.
Mr. Roberts was badly hurt from the
flying timbers, and his son will die
from wounds received. His thigh is
broken, and the flssh all torn off of his
leg.
Dr. Hampton’s barns and out-build
ings are all blown down. A mule in
the barn was knocked down and held
to the ground by the timbers until after
sun-up yesterday morning when the
timbers were ent oft, and the mule got
up and walked off
At Gillsville a number of small houses
were blown down, and large apple
orchards completely ruined.
A three-room house of B. F. H. Jack-
son was blown off the pillars and car
ried several feet. Wayside is one of
the suburban places of Gillsville, and
Mrs. Rampage’s house was entirely de-
stroj ed with everything in it torn to
pieces. This family has not a change of
clothing. Mrs. Rampage and her three
children were absent from home at the
time or they would haTe been kilted.
Mr Fletcher Meadows’ store house,
wood and blacksmith shops are a com
plete wreok.
Mr. Hawkins’ house was unroofed
and the chimney blown down.
Mr. Charlie Meadow’s shops and oth
er buildings are lying on the ground.
Mr. J, T. Suddeth lost his barns,
cribs and pirt of his gin house. Also
one of his renters, Mr, Kinzy, suffered
more than all the rest as his life was
lost in the terrible cyclone. His house
blew down and one of the falling tim
bers struck him on the head and killed
him.
Mrs. Kinsley is badly injared and it
is almost certain that she will die from
tbe wonnds received.
The cyclone then took its course
through Backs connty, and tore up the
house of Jim Porterfield near Grove
Level. It made nearly a clean sweep
of the timbers to Hon.
James K. Thompson’s place
a tew miles south of Homer. Here it
did considerable damage to Mr. Thomp-
bou’s beautiful place, blowing down
the stables and other out-buildings.
A negro, George Dowdy, living in
one of Mr. Thompson’s housed was
badly hurt, and it is believed that he
will die.
At Mr. Tom Smith’s place several
houses were blown down, but fortu
nately no one was hurt.
At Mr A1 Borders’s plaoe it did con
siderable damage, completely raining
all the houses ou the place.
Andrew Owens lost his gin house.
The cyclone then passed into Frank
lin county, and it being so far from the
railroad that we could not ascertain the
number of houses blown down, but
learned that the damage was very heavy
all along its oonrse.
In Hart county the roof of the oourt
house was blown off. The Bobo house
wss also unroofed.
This wss one of the worst eyclones
that has passed through this section,
and the people along the line of its
traok need help, and need it badly.
If the citizens of Athens will send
anything in the way of clothing and
provisions to the Banner office, it will
be shipped to MrjJohn Garrison, who
will seetfaat It is properly distributed.

AN INCIPIENT RIOT
Which for a Time Threatened to be
Serious.
Sunday night there came near heing
a riot on the Georgia Carolina A Nor
thern train going toward Atlanta.
It seems that forty or fifty white men
came down on the excursion Sunday
morning and did not want to wait until
midnight Sunday night when the ex
cursion train left for Atlanta.
They said the railroad authorities
promised them to carry them baok ear
ly and when they went down to the
depot Sunday evening. They went de
termined to go back on the regular
train
The conduotor of the regular train
said they couldn’t go back on It, and
they all boarded it and swore they
would go.
Officers were summoned but they had
no jurisdiction over the matter and af
ter a while the train pulled out with tbe
men on board.
It looked very much like a riot would
ensue and the conduotor was in re
ceipt of a dispatch from Atlanta to look
the men in the o&r and come through to
Atlanta without stopping, and that
they would take care of them when
they got there.
It seems, however, that after they
left Athens they became quieter and
were let off at their hemes along the
line.

THE PANDORA OUT.
The Sixth Volume of that Interesting
Annual.
The sixth volume of the Pandora is
out, It is probably the most interest
ing and elaborate volume ever issued
by the fraternities of the University.
It is handsomely bound and sella for
one dollar. The books are on sale at
Hodgson A Phimzy’s store on Clayton
street.
The volume is dedicated to Mrs. Dr.
W. H. Felton, of Cartersville, and es
pecial mention is made in the dedication
to the manner in whioh she did up one
Dr. W. A, Candler, of Emory college,
once upon a time.
It contains a great deal of valuable
information, keen and appreciative wit
and humor, and is withal a publication
of which the young gentlemen in
charge may well feel proud.
Its illustrations are splendid and the
