will be in the neighborhood of 400 paid
laborers at the mills. All of the best
laborers and those who have been faith
full will be retained as a night force.
Mr.. Heard has arranged 80 that the

as many paid laborers will be kept at
work. The convicts will be well cared
for. and will be required to work
about nine hours a day. 1t will re-
quire force of fifteen guards to watch
them. These guards came from Rich
wood with the prisoners, and will be
retained by the company because they
understand their work thoroughly.
There are no women in the stockade.
The main building for sleeping pur-
poses is six feet from the ground and
the floor is of dressed material, tongued
and grooved, and fitted without cracks.
The hunks are separated by lattice
work constructed so as to prevent
physical communication between the
occupants. Separate sleeping quarters
are provided for whites and blacks and
the building Is supplied with a .suf-
hcient number of stoves to keep 1t
thoroughly heated in cold weather. A
comfortable hospital, a dining room
and a bath-house are among the other
buildings that are required. A stock

a plug of good sound tobacco. six-inch

The convicts are all in. excellent
| health, and there is not man in the
hospital. The state requires that n
regular physician be employed by the
lessees, and DIR. Elton S. Osborne has
been named by the Mill-Haven Com
pany as the camp surgeon. DIR Os-

once each day. He went to the stock

in a buggy and carried to the nearest
town. The body of Page was left in
the yard, the men, with an extra
posse afterwards returning for the
body. While the officers were gone, one
of the women not knowing that Page
was dead, suggested that a pillow be
brought from the house for the dy-

deputy sheriff of Robson county.
North Carolina.
On the Scene of Carolina Crime.
The man who will appear against
Potter as principal witness. should
the case be tried, is now living in Sa-
vannah. He was a resident of Robe
son county, he says, at the time that
Potter was arrested for the killing of
revenue officer who had come to
seize an illicit distillery in which Pot
ter was working. At that time Potter
killed Page, the arresting officer. The
same man was present at the scene Of
the killing.
Potter, the officers say, escaped di-
rectly after the commission of the
crime, and shortly afterwards came
to Georgia. Though the North Caro-
lima officials and government detectives
made every effort to apprehend him,
he has remained at large. The officers
here will call in the assistance of the
government in prosecuting him, should
1t become necessary.
LOvry's Right Hand Man.
These facts are for the first time in
many years made public. The story of
the killing of the officers in North
Carolina is still in the minds of many,
however. There still exists there a rem
nant of the notorious Lowry gang,
though the prosecution has long since
abandoned all hope of ever finding the
man who killed William Page, and who
L 7 .,erI4 =
1t was with difficulty that some of the
evidence was obtained, the people in
the vicinity of the crime being 10th,
through fear, to divulge what they
knew.
The history of Potter. alias Hayes
and of his connection with the Lowry
gang is interestingly told by the Of
Ulcers and by an eye witness. For a
clearer understanding of the circum-
stances surrounding the killing OF
Page, a short history of the operation
of the gang is briefly given.
History of the Lowry Gang.
Directly after the war. the father
of Henry B. Lowry, who afterwards
became the famous outlaw. was tried
and sentenced to be hung in Robesor
county, North Carolina. The son swore
vengeance on the trial jury, and leav-
ing the county for short while, he
