TO NOW DOWN YANKEES.
The Chain Shot Cannon That Was
Invented by GEORGIAN,

Invented by Georgian.
A double barreled cannon designed to
sweep down whole regiments of Union
soldiers is one of the relics 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 a 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 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
number of his friends to pine thicket
on 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
or's friends kept at safe distance, and
he applied the fuse. One charge of pow
der and ball "went off," but the other
didn't AS the heavy ball shot out it
carried with it the chain to the full
length. ripping and cavorting around,
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
notion to discharge. 1t was some time
before the discharged ball lay notion
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 carted
into the city, where for years it did
most effective duty in celebrating cleo
tons 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
it was resurrected, and the city council
made an appropriation sufficient to
have it mounted and placed near the
Confederate monument. immediately
opposite the government building.
