A Great Discovery.

Mr.. VIM. Thomas, ofNewton, la says:
"My wife has been seriously affected with
a cough for twenty-five years, and this
spring more severely than ever before.
She had used many remedies without re.
lief, and being urged TO try DR.. Kings
New Discovery, did so, with most graf
flying results. The first bottle relieved
her very much, and the second bottle has
absolutely cured her She has not had
so good health for thirty years"

An Outlaws Ruse.

Joe Wilson, the chief Of band of horse
thieves and outlaws, escaped from the
jail of Watauga County to day by q sharp
ruse. Wilson was sentenced TO the State
prison for ten years for bis outlawry. He
took an appeal an6 was awaiting a decis.

For some weeks past he has pretended to
be quite Ill. Last night he feigned dead,
was laid out by the prison officials and
prepared for burial. The coffin vas or.
dered and all other preparations made
for the interment OF the dead outlaw,
The body was placed in an outbuildiur
where it was viewed by many of the pris.
onets and officers of the jail. The ewes
were wide open and seemingly glazed in
death. Blood had spurted from the
mouth and ran down on the bed covering
A minister was sent for to preach the fiI.

was LEFT alone until the time arrived for
burial. When everything became ouiet
about the prison Wilson suddenly resus.
citased himself, sprang up and dashed
out OF the room and made his escane
Before any one was aware OF what hai
occurred he dashed down the mountain
and fed towards Tennessee. The disc,y.

Awarded Damages and Sentenced TO
Death by the Same Court.


In September 1880, Andrew j. Thomas,
of Barlow county, Ga, a brakeman on the
Western, and Atlantic Railroad, was
struck and knocked from box car by n
projection under shed Of freight
depot. In 1881 he brought suit against
the railroad for damages on account Of
injury, which was a severe blow on the
head. The first verdict was obtained jI
1882, and was for $4,000. This was set
aside as excessive. The casc was again
tried in 1888, and verdict was obtained
for Sj,37G.GG. The verdict has just been
compromised by the company paying to
the attorneys OF the injured man $1,000.
In January, 1881 Thomas had fight
with q man named John Afford. Thorn
as shot Afford in the breast and forehead, ,
killing him almost instantly. Thus it
came to pass that Thomas had two cases
in the same court--one against railroad
for damages aud one in which he was
defendant on the charge of murder. He
was first convicted, and on recommends
ton to mercy was sentenced to life i'm.
prlsOnmcDt. The case went to the Su-
preme Court aud Il new trial was granted.
On that trial lie was convicted without
any recommendation to mercy. That
verdict the Superior Court set aside and
by agreement Thomas pleaded guilty to
voluntary manslaughter and was sentcnc.
ed to eighteen years in the penitentiary.
The same Court that gave him damages
in one case found him guilty of murder
in another. lie had a wife and child
living and the trustees for them received
the money.

The sentiment favoring the renomina.
ton of the 'old ticket" of Tilden and
Hendricks is on the increasejus now, and
probabilities point more strongly to il
than to any other action by the Demo.
cratic Convention. Next to the nomi.
nation Of Mr.. Bayard we think this
would be the best policy the party can
pursue, and would give q reasonable rs
suranco of victory in the coming election.
The old ticket would carry every South
ern State, with New Jersey, Connecticut,
Delaware, Indiana and New York reason.
ably safe, and would stand a good pros.
pect of carrying Ohio, with Penrsylva.
MIA and illinois close i'll u tight. This
nomination would arouse sense of JUS
tice in the mind of the American people,
and the enthusiasm which the determi-
nation to right the wrongs of 1876 would
create, would, We believe, be akin to the
political tempest which swept the country
in lS4o. Itwould have the confidence OF
the business men of the United States,
and would raise larger campaign fund
than any ticket the party can name.
Owing to Mr.. Tilden's age we do not be.
lieve the administration would equal one
over which Air. Hayard would preside.
but .here is no danh. /. wcnld be ~isc
cautions, economical and efficient. Mr..
Tilden's administration as Governor OF
New York guarantees that. The selec.
tion of this ticket would unite all fac
tions of the Democratic party, and still
the storm which the extreme tariff revis.
ionists are trying to raise, aud which
will, in our judgment, sink the Demo.
cratic party if it is not harmonized. The
tariff revision is au issue which ought to
win, and which will eventually win, but
1t will not be until after the Republican
party has been beaten upon ether issues.
or until political parties are reformed
upon different lines. It has now been
twenty-four yeara since the Democrats
have had a President, and another defeat
will in all probability disband the party,
as the old whig party was disbanded, by
constant defeats. No party can srrv;Ys
quarter of century Of disaster, and
we fear thata failure to elect the Presi.
dent this year may seriously disintegrate
the South. 1t is better policy, therefore,
to.leave out all matters which will seri.
onsly divide democrats, and make the
coming canvass to wla. After we get
possession of the government. We can
discuss the important questions. of gov.
eminent, 81 pm about which there are differ.
ences, to better advantage: For these
reasons we favor a canvass to carry the
Eastern States, which gives promise Of
anccess, rather than hopeless, though
pIucky, fight for the West. 49,

bv one hundred and fifty ambitious vii
lages for public buildings. In addition
there is bill before the House and
Senate asking for the erection Of post
office buildings at every town which is
now or which shall hereafter become an
office appointed by the President. This
bill will not pass at this lime, though a

The trouble about public buildings has
always been that they arc erected not
only for use, but also Tor show, and hence
cost immensely. 1t is proper for the
government to have handsome buildings
In tho larger cities, but in towns the
buildings should be erected in durable
manner, and sufficiently spacious for the
needs Of the government, h,t without
the extravngant expenditure for show
which is the present custom.

Senator Hampton is reported as saying
that Senator Bayard, il nominated Tor
President BIZ The Democrats, could carry
all of the doubtful States in tho coming
election. We believe lie is right. Sen
ator Bayard is a splendid man, and We
think would make the best nominee
possible for the Democrats. IL IS mol
probable, however, that the Democratic
politicians will nominate him. Ills
nomination would be almost the equivh'
lent of victory, but then it would be
victory on principle, and the administra
tion would bo conducted in the interest
of the whole country, and not as ma
chine to reward his personal followers
1t is hard to nominate such man II
these or any other times.
