One Killed; One Dead.
It is said the government win charge
that two negroes were killed on Tur-
ners place while being held against theii
will.
Turner said that last winter his son
Allen Turner. 16 years old. was forced
to kill county convict, whose name he
could not recall. who advanced on him
with a drawn axe. The negro. Turner
said, was insane and escaped from Q
small house where he had been confined
He advanced on young Allen Turner with
drawn axe and the young man strucl
him a blow on the head with a spade
| which caused his death two days there
after.
| Turner said the County Coroner care
| fully investigated the matter and return
ed a verdict of justifiable homicide.
| His attention being directed to the fac
that it had been charged that a negro wo
man was killed on his place. Turner re
piled that this was not true.
He said that a negro woman died Will
at work in one of his fields last winter
He could not recall her name. He sal,
she was Dadeville city prisoner havinl
been sentenced to 100 days for larceny
The woman was in Ill health andNhe sal
he did not want to take her but his con
tract required him to do so.
When the woman died Turner said h
was absent from his home. He said
was certain she had not been mistreatet
There having been rumors about mis-
treatment. Turner said he went befor
the TalIapoosa County grand jury vol
1 UNFAIRLY and asked that the death Of tn
woman De Investigated. This was done
he said, and 1t was found that the woma
came to her death through naturs
causes.
Turner is perfectly open about his deal
ings in the cases and talks as though h
feels sure he will be acquitted OF tn
charge.
He is under indictment in the Fedora
Court of the Norfhern District for neou
age.

The Death Of "stonewall" jackson

The Death Of "Stonewall" jackson.
From "Antietam and Charlottesville. -
by Gen. John B. Gordon, in the June
Scribner's
/ had been with my new command but
short time. when the great battle OF
Charlottesville occurred. II was just be-
fore this bloody engagement that my
young brother had so accurately and firm
Iy predicted his own death. and 1t was
here the immortal Jackson fell. / never
write or pronounce this name without an
impulse to pause in generation for that
American phenomenon, The young men
Of this country cannot study the char
acter of General Jackson without benefit
to their manhood, and for those who are
not familiar with his characteristics
make this descriptive allusion to him.
AS to whether he fell by the fire of his
own men, or from that of the Union men
in his front, will perhaps never be. defin-
ttely determined. The general. the al
most universal, belief. at the South is.
that he was killed by volley from the
Confederate lines; but / have had grave
doubts of this raised in my own mind
by conversations with thoughtful Union
officers who were at the time In his front.
and near the point where he was killed.
II seems to me quite possible that the ia
tai ball might have come from either
army. This much mooted question as to
the manner of his death Is. however, OF
less consequence than the manner OF his
life. Any life of such nobility and strength
must always be a matter of vital import
and interest.
But more important than anything
have yet said of jackson may be COM
passed, think, in the observation that he
added to a marvellous genius for war a
character as man and Christian which
was absolutely without blemish. His
child-Iike trust and faith. the simplicity
sincerity and constancy of his unostenta-
tious piety did not come with the war
nor was 1t changed by the trials and dan
gers of war. If the war affected him al
all in this particular, 1t only intensified
his religious devotion, because of the tire
mendous responsibility which 1t imposed
but long before. his religious thought and
word and example were leading to the
