TO NOW DOWN YANKEES,
The Chain Shot Cannon That Was
Invented by u GeOrgiam

The Chain shot Cannon That Was
Invented by Georgian.
double barreled cannon designed to
sweep down whole regiments of Union
soldiers is one of the relies of the civil
war and is perhaps the only shooting
IRON of the kind in the world.
Immediately after war was declared
an iron worker named John Gilleland,
then employed in one of the Athens
foundries. decided that he could make
a cannon with two barrels which should
be more effective than dozen of the
usual kind. The death dealing inven-
ton was to be charged with iron balls
Of a noneXplosive nature to which was
to be attached a long stout chain, so
that when the two barrels were fired
simultaneously the balls and chain
would NOW down men by companies
The cannon was cast. When it was
entirely finished the inventor invited a
number of his friends to pine thicket
Oh hill on the outskirts of the city to
see it work. The double barreled thing
was placed in position on the hillside
and heavy charge Of powder rammed
home in each barrel and the chained
balls loaded on top of this. The invent
ors friends kept at 4 safe distance, and
he applied the fuse. One charge of DOW

over and under the pine saplings, rocks
and mud, tearing up small trees and
earth, and finally came circling back to
the cannon which held the other ball
with chain attached. The inventor was
struck on one arm by the ball. now
nearly spent, and knocked senseless,
while friends feared to go near, sup
posing that the other barrel might take
a notion to discharge. 1t was some time
before the discharged ball lay motion
less near the upturned cannon. The in
ventor's arm was shattered, making
amputation necessary
This was the first and last trial of the
cannon which was to NOW down the
Yankees. Mr.. Gilleland lost hope and
interest with his arm, and the cannon
was permitted to remain on the hill for
many months, but was finally carried
into the city, where for years it did

lions and Christmas day. BY and by the
old death dealer was missed from it's
place near the old city hall, and no one
seemed to know what had become of it.
Finally, after diligent search, it was
found in a junk shop. From this place

made an appropriation sufficient to
have it mounted and placed near the
Confederate monument Immediately
opposite the government building.

BEATING A "SCOOP,"
The Way President Hayes Once
Saved Newspaper Man.

President Hayes was generally count
ed as cold man by the correspond
ents, but there is one dgnified writer
OF "brevier matter who, when a
Washington correspondent, had need
to find vulnerable joint in the presi-
dents armor and succeeded completely.
Then, as now. great pains were taken
to prevent premature publication of the
presidents message. AT the same time
1t was the custom, which it is not now,
Tor certain newspapers to print 4 fore
cast of the message a few days In adj
vance. One year the correspondent of
w. S. StOry's Chicago Times learned
late on Saturday night that the Chi
cagO Tribune man had sent an abstract
OF tho message by mail for publication
on the following Monday morning. As
he knew that to be beaten on so i'm
portant matter meant discharge by
the irascble Story, he put in all of the
following Sunday trying to secure an
abstract for himself At about noon
he got so close to printed copy that
he began to have hopes, but they were
dashed to the ground when the GUS
todian thereof refused an offer of ST.
600 for the document.
Finally, at about o'clock. the cor
respondent met a senator, great
friend of the president to whom he
poured out the complete story of his
troubles. The senator didn't believe he
could be of service, but finally consent
ed to take the correspondent with him
to call upon the chief executive.
At first the president was adamant,
though lie would not deny that the
Chicago Tribune's man had stolen a
march on his rival. At last, being
convinced that failure meant the close
of his callers journalistic career, Mr..
Hayes said:
> II can't send you to any one for a
copy of the message, as you suggest.
You can't be helped by any one but
me, and l am crowded for time. But.
under the circumstances, l will outline
the message briefly on condition that
you keep the source of your Informal
ton secret. You must not take notes,
but write wholly from memory.
may repeat the exact phraseology of
the message inspart and that wouldn't
do in your dispatch"
Then for the space of twenty minutes
the president talked steadily, the cor
respondent listening meanwhile as if
his life depended upon good hearing
and good memory. The result was a
column and three-quarters in the Chi.

Ex-Governor Drake Makes Important
Proposition to Trustees.

Des Moines, June 11.-EX-Governor
Drake made proposition to the
trustees of Drake university yester-
day regarding the question of finance
which is an important one. At the
trustees meeting the question of rails.
ing funds was paramount.
Governor Drake recommended that
the school depart from small lines in
its efforts to raise million dollar en-
dowment if possible and proposed a
plan whereby this might be done. 1t
was that the college, the largest one
affiliated with the Christian church,
cease confining it's efforts to raise
funds and get out into the whole
world. The college has heretofore
lived up to an agreement not to poach
on the fields OF. other colleges of the
same denomination. 1t was asserted
this morning that if the school were
to solicit subscriptions broadcast
IT could secure funds enough to
raise a million dollar endowment.
Dean Bell made his financial re
port which he declined to give to the
press. I'VE have decided not to give
out the report concerning the financ
ing of the school," said he, but
will say it is in good financial condi
ton"
The raising of the professors sal
aries brought on deal of discussion
1t was stated by one of the trustees
that the salaries had been raised ant
debt incurred and now way mus
be found to settle it. He stated tina
he did not know whether the facult.
or trustees were responsible for thu
debt. -. q ~ !. u, CO.
