of November 18th. 1897 on
November Is, 1897. we left the
beautiful little city of Thomasville, and
at the depot we met Elders Faux and
Brown. They said they would see us
out in the woods. We waited for them
about a mile from the city. and when
they came we went to Mr.. I.ish An
drew's and gave out an appointment
for a meeting. There was II nice lit
tie congregation and we held meet
Ing. The people seemed quite inter-
ested in the sermons. After meeting
n few questions were asked us and
answered
After meeting Elder Brown and my
self and Jimmie Benton got torch
and put out through the dark pine
woods for Mr. Joe Benton's. We felt
cur way through the woods and the
trail that we were following soon
carried us into the big wood. Just as
we got into the big wood l stumbled
into u horse and buggy. one of the
men in the buggy said something and
Elder Brown asked him If he We're
talking to him. He got no repl: and
we went on. Then they told us to stop.
We went right on. The buggy then
passed us and one of the men got out
and halted us. Another rode up be-
hind us and they surrounded us. They
demanded to see us. We asked them
to go with us TO the house. but they
replied their business was such that
needed no papers and no house So
they kept us right there. They began
their talk as drunken men will, and
their language was not OF the best.
They abused us and threatened us If
we did not leave this country inside
of three days
Wicn they We're through we took
our grips and escaped into the dark.
| We We're impressed to leave the road
and, just as we did so, there came Il
shower of bullets whistling down the
read. But we escaped the hands of
those wicked men and soon came up
to Mr.. Benton's house. His son had
reached the house Just before we did
| and his father. Mr.. Joe Benton, had
got up and loaded his gun with buck
| shot. We went into the house and on
our knees thanked God for sparing
| our lives. Mr. Benton guarded the
house and we sought our bed and went
to sleep.
We filled our appointment for the
| next night and also another. but the
house was guarded by the good citi-
zens of the settlement. All is well
| now.

departure for Tallahassee this morn

down the river this morning at 10 o clock

his mind about the coming Of prosperity.
There were enough unemployed printers in
evidence on the wharf and on the steamer
Pentz to start up a new Government Print
ing Office. Added to that, there were
enough wives and sisters and daughters
to emphasize liz the strongest manner pos.
sible the fact that these unemployed print
ers needed support, and needed it badly.
Yet, judging by the placarts announcing
the excursion, they have been out of work
for some time, as this is their second an
nual excursion. The unemployed printers
all be)ngto Columbia Typographical Union,
No. OIL, and, although undoubtedly a large
number of those who went down the river
this morning were simply taking da off,
the unemployed printers outnumbered The
employed two to one.
Although the steamer Pentz this morn
ing was crowded, a still larger crowd went
down On tie 2 clock boat and still more Ire
expected to go down this evening on the
