ON the evening OF tho 9Th there Were
confined in the Carroll county Jail nine
prisoners. who were serving terms for
violating United States internal-revenue
laws.
The taller. W. s. Morris. sleeps in the
room on the first floor Of the Jail, and
it IS his custom to go up to look after
the prisoners about 8 o'clock. This morn
ing he was on time. but found that &c.
Roberts. William Payne. Jim Burton, and
John Bryant had broken jail and es-
capped.
Some one had slipped TO them small
saw, with which they had cut one OF
the iron bars across the jail window; then,
by means Of sheets tied together low
cred themselves 10 the ground and made
their escape.
Sheriff Mitchell and the jailer started
In pursuit ~ once. and IN few hours
succeeded I'm capturing AL Of them eN-
cent Bryant. who up 20 this time has
not been caught. Il is supposed That ne
has fed 10 North Carolina, where his
parents live.
The other five prisoners, whose terms
OF imprisonment had nearly expired, re-
fused 10 leave. and the jailcr found them
quietly awaiting their breakfast.

ministerial charge In Richmond Tor "A

great regret. not only by all who know

or in unity. but work together In the
cause OF the Master in the unity Of the

this fraternd union Or. Landrum has

We arc never able 10 understand how

gold and silver and the consequence Is
that the entire money Of the country IS
silver. one gold dollar will buy nearly
two silver dollars. Why will not the
same thing happen in this country II we
have free coinage OF silver? 1t is nom
sense TO suppose that free coinage OF
silver will make the silver dollar as
valuable as the gold dollar. 1t is worth
now only n little more than half what
tho gold dollar IS worth. and though
free coinage Of silver by this country
would probably increase IT'S value for
whde. IL would necessarily fall back
soon 20 the place assigned TO it by the law
Of supply and demand. IL would be
cheaper than the gold dollar. and when
that is the case. every mans common
sense teaches him that the gold dollar
will not circulate upon terms Of equality
with it. No man IS going to pay out a
dear dollar when he can accomplish his
object by paying out a cheaper one.
Free coinage would do nothing there
fore. bur reduce MS TO the singlo-standard
silver basis. How would that help any
one except the man who has silver for
