Wild excitement
Prevails.
Buchanan, Ga., Dec. B.—The
most destardly crime ever commit
ted in Harrason county was perpe
trated five miles west of here last
night.
About 6 o’clock three masked
men entered the premises of
Buck Summerlin, who is seventy
four years old and is supposed to
have considerable money about his
house.
Buck Thornton, with his face
blacked, knocked at the door an i
said he wanted to warm.
Summerlin discovered that it
was a white man and started to
rise, when Thornton shot at him,
but missed the mark. After the
second shot, which resulted as
the first, the Jman made at Thorn
tonwith a knife and stabbed him
several times.
He then reached for his gun and
as Thornton fell backward in the
yard, shot him in the side. Just
at this juncture, one of the men
on the outside discharged his gun
at Summerlin, the shot taking ef
fect near the abdomen.
The two unknown men made
good their escape. Officers are in
search of two boys who are sus| ect
ed, but have so far been unable to
find them.
Jack Cooly, a negro, was arrest
ed but will be releasted this after
noon.
Thornton lived but a few mi li
nters and the coroner is now hold
ing an inquest.
Summerlin is still alive bu* can
not live much longer. The great
est excitement prevails.

FREE COINAGE OF
SIEVES.
The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio of 16 of silver to i of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis
factory condition of trade, manufac
ture and general business of the coun
try. The surreptitious act of 1873,
divorcing silver and gold in our mone
tary system, was a crime of untold
magnitude. It was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States. It was an act
of treason because done at the instance
of a European syndicate and for bribe
money, “giving aid and comfort to
our country’s enemies.” To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti
cated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to ex
pose this unpardonable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to its
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance of die people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa
pers for the coming season to include
the Enquirer, that costs only SI.OO a
year. (Issued twice a week.)

wards given to club raisers. Sample
