The number of men withdrawn

over 600,000.
Russia spends 225 000 rubles a

In the Athens debate, says the
Augusla Chronicle, General Evans
as good as lost the conclusion, to
which he was invited. Mr. Atkin
son before closing, asked General

Reverend walk into the trap and
consume his most precious 20
minutes in answering those ques

Every man in Floyd county
honors General Evans for his war
record, at the same time permit
us to put it a little differently and
in language that conveys a deal
more truth because it embraces
more of the brave old heroes : “In

did not fight “more violently, ar

Birmingham, Ala., March 25.
A case which is of more than ordina
ry interest toGecrgians, in that it in
volves the character of many cf
Romq Ga ,‘s well known citizens, is
on trial in the federal court here and
has been for a week. On Monday,
October 31, 1892, an express train

money and valuables near Piedmont,
Ala, Jeff Harrison, -Jim Brown, Dick
Harrison and several others from
Rome, Ga., were arrested, charged
with the robbery.
At the trial here last year, they
were convicted, some of the gang
having turned state’s evidence to
wards the close of the trial. During
the trial parties from Rome swore
that Jeff Harrison was in that city on
Saturday, October 29th. The witness
' • who turned state’s eviderce swore
that Jeff Harrison was’n Jim Brown’s
houKe in Leesburg, thirty-eight miles
distant, on the same day, and at the
same hour the Rome wi nesses swore
he was in Rome.
Harrison aud the other defend
ants were convicted. Harrison was
given a life sentence Jim Brown aud
? Dick Hatriso", the informants got off
light, Brown 1 e ng sent to Animosa
tor a term, and young Harrison, wl o
is now only sixteen yeais old, being
sent to a reform school at Washing
ton.
After the conviction of the alleged
robbers indictments were gotten
against the Rome Ga. deponents, who
are all men of character and standing
charging them with perjury. The fol
lowing are the gentlemen who are
defendants in the perjury cases:
James T. Tracy, head mechanic in the
Richmond and Danville blacksmith
shop; Jacob Collins, car inspector of
the Richmond add Danville railroad;
W.E, Jenkins, a carpenter; J. T.
Hartin, a young man who now lives

Fnnkbous-r, a merchant there; the
marshal of the city, th® tax collector
and others of uuquesaioned standing
