THE SWAMP ANGELS.

Herald Enterprise In Various LigLta.
Still they come. all lauding in their peculiar way
the enterprise OF the HERALD. When they prefer
one HERALD exploit to another they only take ad-
vantage OF the immemorial prlvllege-namely, In
reading the HERALD to take their choice OF the good
things therein. Our Charlotte friend. below quoted
puts himself in the position Of the Spanish dons who
wanted 10 whistle Christopher Columbus down the
wind because the discovery OF America was such
plain sailing that anybody could have done 1t. Co
lumbus knocked In the end OF MS egg on the table
he should have done 1t on their supercll0us SKULLS
and they were convinced beforehand OF the sad
WORDS OF Longfell0w at might have been," Dut 1t
wasn't. The Charlotte man was In the same State
as the outlaws. but ne never had the pluck or the
sense to "walk straight into the outlaws camp"

THE SWAMP ANGELs.-rhe NEW YORK HERALD
has heard from It's correspondent in the Scuietown
Swamp. He IS still prisoner IN the hands OF the
Lowerys and has been sworn TO silence after the
genuine raw head ana bloody bones style peculiar
to those interesting swamp angels. He made Q con-
quest OF Rhodv, the handsome vile OF The boss
brigand, Henry Berry Lowery, and escorted her to
church and was also honored by an intro
duction TO the mother of the Lowerys.
Andrew Strong and Steve Lowery. each loaded
down with knives and pistols VINO informed the
enterprsing Bohemian that Boss Lowerv (meaning
Henry Berry,, 'wasn't dead no how, but he was
hurt powerful bad, though" They stated that he
had gone away Tor SIX weeks, OF which four mad
passed. Andrew Strong IS the brother Of Boss
Strong killed by Mcqueen through cathode IN the

jewsharp. This only leaves three oil the outlaws
unprovded for, supposlne Henry Berry Lowery, the
leader the gang, to still alive. This Is alto
gether more interesting than the hunt or the
HERALD's other ATTACKS after Livingstone.
THEY ARE NOT NoBLEMEN-wHERE THE BLAME
BELONGS.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. time ago the NEW YORK
HERALD had reporter to go to Robson county and
write an imaginative and fictitious account OF the
Lowery gang, putting noble blood In their VEINS
&C.. when the fact is they are nothing but descend
ants OF the lowest class of ree muiattOes" OF that
section. But recently the HERALD sent a reporter
to Robson named Henderson for the purpose Of
having him fall into the hands OF the outlaws, SO as
to create q sensation IN that way. Henderson
walked straight to the outlaws camp. and then 1t
was teegraphed North that he was captured. So
much for newspaper enterprise. But 1t IS strange
That the outlaws can visit depot on the Whining
ton. Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad, In broad
daylight, and attempt be made TO kill or capture
them. II the people in that neighborh0od permit
such daring Impudence and make no attempt at
capture, we don't see how they can blame Others
for not arresting the gang.
