Marietta Journal: just over the county
line. IN Paulding county, lives Mr.. Manning
Phillips. He has a well 45 feet deep, walled
up with rock 40 feet. He could get no one to
20 down in it to finish the work desired until
last Monday, when Mr.. James POss. fear
lees, able-bOdied fellow, said he wasn't afraid
TO go IN the old we'll. A rope was fastened to
MS body and be was lowered nearly to the
bottom, when those standing around the well
on top Of terra iirma heard a rumbling noise
and were hOrrihed TO see the rock wall and
dirt tumbling IN upon the living man in the
depths below. There came up a faint cry for
help. His audible voice invoked the presence
and prayers Of the preacher. The holy man
Of Cod replied, ''I'll do what / can for you,
Jimmie" And thus completely walled in
with rock above HIM, below him and around
about hlm, he was unable to move his body,
but managed 10 get his hand to his mouth and
push the dirt away. The rope around his
body was cutting him fearfully. The men
above thOughtlessly tugged away at the rope
and were about 20 pull him in twain. He sue
ceeded IN getting his knife out Of his pocket
ard severed the rope tnat bound him. The
men worked for dearlife In removing the rock
and dirt and to rescue Mr.. POss from his
sUnOcatlng tomb For seven hours and half
he was thus imprisoned. When he was
reached he was almost UNCONSCIOUS, but the
fresh air soon revived him. He thanked God
and his rescuers for delivorance. and said he
went down In that well a wicked man. but
from henceforth he would lead a different
life "All's well that ends WE'LL
Americu5 Recerder: Monday afternoon
sheriff swndle. Of Mitchell county. and Col.
G. o. Davis came up from Camilla for the
purpose Of attaching Doris circus. It was the
winding Up Of the trouble which occurred on
the circus tram between Thomasville and
Albany, when some twelve or fifteen negroes
were thrown OF the train by the white en-
plOycs. One Of the negroes thrown of died
from his injuries, another Is In the Mitchell
county poor house. and nine others who
were injured are being cared for By the
Mitchell and DougherTy county authOri-
ties. The negroes entered suit against
Doris for $4,000 damages through their at
torney, Col. g o. Davis. An attachment
was levied on the circus property by Sheriff
>wIndle Monday afternoon, and il began to
look as though the show would quarter here
for time. Doris claimed lac had right to
point out the property TO be attached, aud
wanted SWIndle to take his elephant and
hyenas, which the Sheriff politely declined.
The matter was finally compromised by Doris
paying about 1900 damages. Sheriff Swindle
also had warrants for couple Of white
men belonging 70 the circus, but when
they were looked for it was found
they had skipped Mr.. Doris claimed the
trouble grew out of a row between some of
and while the show was on its way To Albany
the troublesome negroes were elected from
the train by the white men. The negroes say
lnat the circus Was due them wages. and after
they had requested a settlement some white
men threw them OF the train to get rid of
them after which they sued for damages and
had an attachment served on the concern.
The matter was adjusted, and the circus
pulled out Monday night.
