2, ATTEMPT: TO BREAK JAIL.-OnS the
night Of The 26th instant, James S:gShoe-
maker and George Z. Jacobs, confined ~ %
Jail, endeavored 10 effect their escape ny
means of a small saw, with which ihey
succeeded, in cutting one OF the iron bars
in7the window, taking out piece about
twelve or fifteen inches in length, thereby
giving themselves ensy egress. They
then decended yiroin the second story by a
cord. or small rope, into the Jail yard
! lgbey had provided. themselves will a
Ngrapple, which fastened 10 the end Of a
rope, similar 10 that by which they de-
cended, was thrown over The wall, took
fast hold OH the other side,. and left them
to perform the easy task Of ascending a
!, walItwenty feet high with the aid ola rope,
swell wrapped around with lbe pieces of
one OF the Jail blankets, which they had
converted 10 their own use. Strange 10
say. however, this easy task was not per-
formed, and the morning sun rose upon
them in the: Jail yard with guilt upon their
faces, l....
TAey slated they had been engaged in
the "glorious undertaking" as they terms
il, for more than three, weeks, aud that
ittonk Them Sc ,enty hours to cut through
The IRON They bear evidence 10 The
steelish quality Of The Jail bars, and dc-
clare they are made of the hardest iron
they have ever worked upon.
Shoemaker stated that he was Mt one
time on the top of The outer wall, and that
some one shot at him from the street, The
ball-pussing through his cap, only close
enough TO his head to give him head
ache. Thinking this q bad omen, he got
down from the wall in 10 the yard.
JAcu Bs says. that despairins escaping
at this point. they attempted at another,
and that he go d,tlop The wall, and could
have easily escaped, hu, lha, because Shoes
maker could not get up, and as he had
promised mol to leave him, he concluded
ioreturn and tell their tale oil woe.
They had left in their room letters adj
dressed 10 the Jailer, returning thanks for
his kind treatment, aud expressing the
ihe desire. al some furture time, TO meet
him when. far removed from the dangers
Of a lifetime incarceration and punish
ments, they would laugh over their mirac-
ulons escape.-Chartsston Mercury.
INTERESTING FAcr.-In the year
1917, the first Sunday School, we believe
organized in the. State of Virginia, was
opened in this town, in connection with
the Methodist Episcopal Church; George
Walker, Jas McGhee anh John Turman
the last Of whom still survives, a useful
venerable and respected citizen of Lynch
burg. In very short time two hundred
scholars. of both sexes, was collected,
many Of whom had no other opportunity
of acquiring the slightest education. Itis

may. have been done by even single

fine ourselves to an alusiunto two cases,

EplTING A PApEK.-The majority Of
readers seem to!lhink that nothing cen be
more easy or pleasant than 10 edil a pa
per; hut of all the different empoyments
by which men make their bread aud butter,
there is none, We believe, that so taxes The
mind, temper, and flesh, as that of edit.
ing paper. There is none that requires
anicer tact, soundcr judgment, more
consIa ani application, a quicker wit. or
kinder heart. A cburlish temper could
never succeed as an editor; nor narrow
mirtied ,nau, nor an Ignorant one, nor a
hasly one, nor au unlorSirlns one.
An editor mus, OF necessity turn himself
inside out to The public; he cannot be a
hypocrite any more than husband can
be- hrpocrite TO his wife, He must ex.
poses himself in all that he dose, as much
in selecting the thoughts Of others. as in
publishing his own, and the better way for
him in the outset is TO begin frankly, 10
save himselffrom observation-disclosures and
modification. Whoever succeeds tolera-
bly well as an editor, is something more
than an Crdiuary man, let his conlempor-
aries say or think Of him ashley will.
