DEFY GUARDS.
Body of Leased Georgia Con-
victs in Revolt.
Barricade Themselves in a Mine
and Refuse to Come Out.

Chattanooga. Tenn. July 25.-The con-
victs leased by the state of Georgia to
the Georgia Iron & Coal company at
Cole City, Ga, revolted this afternoon
over the punishment of one of their
number. The guards in attempting to
restore order shot and fatally wounded
two of the negroes. The remainder of
the colony, about 125 in number, have
barricaded themselves and are defying
the guards.
The trouble arose over the punishment
of one of the convicts for an infraction
of the rules. When the men working on
the day shift heard of it they began
making threats and, under the advice
of several of the most desperate men,
all the convicts of the day shift refused
to come out of the mine when the hour
arrived to change shifts. Those in the
foremost ranks of the revolving con-
victs hurled missiles at the guards, and
the latter fired into them, wounding two
of the convicts fatally. The rest of the
convicts retreated further into the mine
and defied the guards to follow them.
1t is said there is no way for them to
escape from the mine and that to sub
due them the guards will have to starve
them out.

The fraud was perpetrated under the
name of a league of women the alleged
objects of which are women suffrage,
national temperance. etc. Owing to the
similarity of the name with that of a Weh
known organization, the work of secur-
ing victims was easy.
Advertisements were published here
early in June for local secretaries TO
whom a salary of $500 yearly was offer
ed. Those who answered were the re
cipients of glowing letters and finally
received checks for SIS to pay the ex-
pense of a trip to Detroit. The intend
ing secretary was warned that reduced
rates of fare could be secured by send
ing SO to an alleged passenger agent in
Cleveland within three days. The checks
were hurriedly cashed in almost every
instance and came back protested. The
seeker of employment therefore was
minus SIS in good money which presum-
ably fell into the hands of the swindlers
in Cleveland.

among them as with the boys. There is
little brook near the camp. where the
smaller boys and the girls go Wad1ng.
The outing was planned year ago
as a reward of merit for good little
boys and girls who should attend Sun
day school every Sunday for a year.
These have their week in camp at the
Sunday schools expense and the others
pay 50 each for the week. This includes
all expense except the railroad fare to
Lecompton, which was 60 cents for the
round trip for those who went with the
original party. Some of the men go
back and forth night and morning ana
others are to go out Saturday and stay

cook for three times a day, but the girls
and even the boys help her with the
dish washing and the chaperones and
officers of the expedition help her with
the planning. Yesterday the camp had
salmon croquettes, creamed potatoes,
hot biscuit, cabbage salad and coffee
for the noon dinner and ice cream and
cake for supper A different menu is
arranged for each day.
There are l. small tents IN Nissley-
vile, arranged in two rows with a pas
sage between which is called Mcfarland
avenue as a compliment to the pastor
Of the church. DR.. J. T. Mcfarland. At
the end of the avenue are the kitchen
and dining room tents. The latter is the
largest in the tent city and has a lunch
counter and benches running all around
the four sides. There are six tents of
girls and they take turns waiting on the
table.
The programme of the seven days
outing arranges for boating, fishing.
swimming and drives into the country
around LecOmpton. There is a tennis
court and croquet grounds and down the
hill a little distance from where the
tents are pitched is what the boys and
girls call the auditorium" This is
cluster of low bench seats and a small
platform and looks like the place where
the Declaration of Independence is read
by a pretty girl in a white gown at
Fourth of July celebrations. Here is
where the afternoon and evening pro-
grammes are given. The programmes
consist of songs and recitations and yes
terday afternoon when a State Journal
reporter visited the camp a small bare
footed boy was gravely playing the
Bowery Buck on the wheezy little
baby" organ which furnishes accom-
paniments for the songs. Across the
road in another part of the wood three
irreverent LecomDton boys listened to
the programme and greeted each num-
Der with cat calls, ieers and other rude
evidences of their total alienation from
Sunday school influences. Some of the
boys and girls have mandolins and
guitars and in the evening when the
programme is given there are many WIS.,
itors from the village and the country
round about.
On the first night in Nissleyville the
Sunday school was greeted by the mayor
of LecomptOn, the pastor of one of the
churches and the township Sunday
school superintendent and Mr.. Nissley
responded to the addresses of welcome.
The boys attend these exercises in
order that they may be allowed to go
swimming afterwards and the morning
and evening devotions because these
take place in the dining tent Immediate
" after breakfast and supper and they
can't get away. When they go swim
ming and fishing they are always two
men to take care of them-this for the
satisfaction of anxious mothers at home.
The girls haven't been in the water yet
but they are beginning to get uneasy
and are sending home for bathing suits
and probably in few days the sign of
the two fingers will be as popular

A world of wondrous ways,
Deneuncing vice and giving
Sweet virtue lavish praise!
We scorn the ragged sinner
But greet him with a smile
When he flashes jewels at us
And shows that he's made his pile"
It's a queer old world we live in,
A world of strange conceits,
With praise for him who's honest.
And blame for him who cheats.
We spurn the common trickster,
But turn in friendly style
To greet the well dressed sharper
Who has managed to make his pile"
It's a queer old world we live in,
A world whose aims are high,
Exalting art and letting
The starving artist die,
We scorn-fhe humble huckster,
But meet him, after while,
With loud and joyful greetings
When we know he's made his pile.
It's a queer old world we live in,
world that praises worth,
And gives its highest honors
To the fool of noble birth!
Deploring the greed for money,
That we call ignoble. vile,
We envy the rich each hoping
He may manage to make his pile"
