The Atlantic, Valdosta, and
Weattrn Railroad has a camp
nearHaylow, ia Clinch county,
about thirty miles from here.
Saturday was pay day. The chid
•ngiooer, Mr. C. R. Garrard,had
come into town bo get the mon
if to pay off the hands.
He secured about a thousand
dollars. It was generally known
laoiig'the negroes that he would
pay st!' Saturday night, but as
the country is sparsely settled,
and there are very few oegroes
ia the lection where the road is
aowbuilt, nobody thought of
danger. The only oegroes are
meh as are employed on ter
pea tine farms or railroads, and
although they belong to the
worst class of North Carolina
nsgrois, Mr. Garrard had ns
thought of any attempt being
stdi to rob him.
He rede out of town en horse*
buk, and his direction was to
ward the Okefenokee swamp,
although he wis some distance
frsm it. II« was net aware that
anybody was near, when sud
dialy eight negroes rushed oat
•f a thick clump of bushes and
each leveled a pistol at hitu
There was no mistaking their
purpose. They demanded his

friends had the greatest difficulty
Io persuade him to took refuge in
England, the course they consider
ed best for the interact of the
Drsyfua revision,
was in a daugeroae place. 8o he
replied :
| “Well, boys, you have the
drop on me ; I suppose there is
no use in my resisting your de
mauds. ”
“Well, hand out the money,
and be— <uiek about it!'
growled the leader of the gang.
“All right, then,” said Mr.
Gerrard, diplomatically, and he
felt in his poeket as if to draw
out a package Instead of tho
money, he brought forth the
pistol, ’’nd it came out belching
lead. I’ho ring loader foil at tho
urat shot, and the next shot
knocked out another. Two more
jchots were Ired by Mr. Garrard
as his horse dashed away, with
spurs goring him in the sides.
Mr. Garrarfl was shet at »ev
feral times by the nogroos, but
! they were so frustrated by his
"sudden firing that they hepped
about like monkeys, and hardly
knew what they w*ro doing.
