jail to SEQ Parks, and let Shell hear
what he had to say. Parks seemed
to be glad to have the opportunity TO
relieve his mind of the great burden,
and commenced at once to tell his
part in the murder, as has been above
stated; though before ho com.

She'll said to him that ho wanted him
to tell the truth, and nothing but tho
correct facts which he know himself
As for any one having made
threats, or promises to either Sulli
van or Parks, is certainly false to
my own knowledge. The statement
was first made to me, and if any
blame attaches to any one at all, it
must be to myself. 1 gave the in

most ussuredly, my duty to report
it, as an officer. Persons KNOWN q
me, know that it is not my disposi~
ton to "persecute," or to allow it to
be done when l can prevent it. If
such had been attempted in this
case, | most certainly would have
known it, and stopped it immedi-
ately. No, the affidavits published
in the Union,Herald arc false, and
the party who got them up knew it
at the time that they were made.

concerning the murder of DR.. Shell

Parks told said Sullivan, that he,
Parks, was with the company who
killed DR.. Shell, that Shell was tho
first man killed, and that a horse
was shot from under another man,
but he did not know whether any
body else was killed or not; that
when Shell was killed, the attacking
party got scattered, and did not get
together until the next day that
they got together in the town of

Col. Aiken s Address. 4 d


Alta meeting of the Richmond
County Grange, at Augusta, Ga.
last. Saturday. there were several
addresses delivered by prominent
gcntlemep,, among whom wero Col.
d. Wyatt Aiken. Wo make the
following extracts from his address.
ellie tlUe ideas ppon which sthe
Grange was first organized, was, first,
the aeciGl idea. ito. igihated with
man named Kelly, in South Carolina
who was The. candidate Of The people
Of that State and wished to devise
some means to bring about social
intercourse. He epoke of It when he
went back to Washington, and wo
man suggested the formation of the
present Patrons of lIusbandry. The
first idea was social advantages the
second, educational advantages grew
ontsofa it. @And don't the farmers
want education How many farm
ers arc there who are urable to even
write their own names. When the
war come on, young men left the
school houses and patriotically went
into TIE Confederate army. When
the war ceased and the whole coun,
$try was broken up, these men had
TO 60 to work and let education alone.
Nov the Grange proposed to give
these men an opportunity to educate
tlaemselves. They were obliged to
study, they were obliged to read.
They could take agricultural works.
"A farmer who did not take agricul-
tural works was like bander who
did not keep his accounts in books.
Well, if the Grange gives you social
z dyantages; it it educates yon and
your children, is not that admirable,
sdoes not that do all you ask 2 But
IN addition, there is the cooperative
idea that saves your money, that
puts money in your pocket. Why

mot go to the man that makes them
