CAaM NEAR BREAKING JAIL.
One of the Prisoners Says Tom DeIIS
Gave Him Saw to Cut the Bars.

zebuloh, Ca, July 3-Last night an at
tempt to break jail was made by the
prisoners confined in the county jail. The
prisoners were a desperate set of charac-
ters, and they were willing to risk al
most anything to gain their liberty.
They had sawed through the iron bars
in the corridor, where the jailer allows
them to remain during the hot summer
days. When the time arrived for him to
lock them in separate cells, he found, by
looking through a peep-hole that leads
to the stairway, that the prisoners had
stationed themselves at the bottom of the
steps, and intended to make a break for
liberty as soon as the door was opened
Sheriff Miner and deputies arrived and
succeeding in getting the prisoners in their
respective cells after considerable trouble
They admitted that it was their intention
to knock the door keeper in the head with
an iron bar, and run out over him as soon
as the door was opened.
Gray Britt, a young white man, who
was the leader of the jail breakers, says
that the saw was given him by Tom Delk,
the notorious outlaw who was hung here
on the 18th of June. The saw was about
the size of a knife blade and was made
Of fine material. Tom slipped the saw to
BRITT IN box of cigarettes.
The trap door, through which the pris-
oners gained their entrance was just large
enough TO let a small man through The
work of cutting the door was a long and
tedious job. When one bar was cut the
prisoners would cover the cut place with
soap to avoid detection. The work was
done by an experienced hand and would
have done credit to the most experienced
jewellers.

Editors IntcIligencer: AS your special
correspondent at this place. where the
State teachers are soon to hold their an
nual convention, I would like to have you
inform those of your County who think OF
attending of the arrangements here being
perfected for the occasion. The Hotel
Altamont has been somewhat enlarged
and will be occupied by the ladies, and
the cottages, new auditorium, and tents or
necessary by the gentlemen: Above the
auditorium has been erected a beautiful
roof garden, where the breezes fan away
the heated air and the views are perfectly,
grand. We can see the curling. emoke OF
this way on the night Of the 3rd of July,
Won will see the fireworks display that the
citizens of Greenville will give often in
front of the hotel for the entertainment Of
the teachers.
It will cost the members of the Associa-
ton IS 90 for the five days the Convention
will be in session. Free transportation
will be given all those who send notifica-
ton of their intention to come from Green
Vile to this point. Postals should be adj
dressed to Prof. E: L. Hughes, Greenville,
(member teachers Ex. Conn., or the Hotel
Altamont, Altamont P. o., S. c., stating
by what train the writer will arrive and
they will be met at the station with con-
veyances to bring them up the mountain.
The railroad fare is the cheapest ever given
to the teachers. viz: n fare both ways.
A comfortable, free and easy time is
assured, and a very instructive, valuable,
session. Many notables will be present
very likely the Governor amongst them.
A fine brass band will furnish concerts
every morning and evening. We have
very cool nights, no mosquitoes and no
dust up here. The views are glorious and
the spring water cool and pure. A good
time the teachers will surely have.
Very truly yours,

beam retires from vulgar notice; but
when the clouds Of woe collect around
US and shades and darkness dim the

In the language Of a great Saint, who
lived in the 18th century, Good him
self, all the glorious spirits, and the
whole family of the Eternal King wait
for US, and desire that we should be
associated to them; and shall we not
pant above all things to be admitted
into their happy company? He would

fusion, who had not in this valley Of

Church would be filled with Saints"
Gentle reader, has it eyer occurred
to you hal every day We either travel
the road to heaven or the road to hell
the one is narrow and straight and
leads to eternal bliss; the other is
broad and wide and leads to destruc-
ton and desolation? Which road will
you take? Decide now. Don't wait.
