 The two men occupied the same cell in the jail. It is evident that they had procured d key to the door, as it was found open and uninjured. After getting into the corridor. the men cut through brick wall and obtained egress to the open.
 Pennington at Large.
 Nothing has been heard of Penning- ton. Two telephone messages this morning from Abbeville Junction told of the fate of Garfield.
 In a letter left in his cell. Pennins- ton affirms his, innocence of the crime for which he was convicted. He de- clares that he was on his knees pray ing when "the Lord flung open the door" of his cell and he. saw his on- portunity to escape. He does not say who made the hole in the brick wall.
 In the letter Pennington absolved sheriff Walker of any complieity in the jail delivery. Pennington lately had sold his farm and was thought to have in his possession good sum of money. The Houston County jail was recently butt and was thought to be one Of the most substantial in the State.
 At meeting of the Court of County Commissioners today. the Impeachment or sheriff Walker was recommended.

Secretary Shaw has fired the
first gun Of tbe republican cam
paigh. His speech like those heard
at Chicago, deals with the ancient
history Of the republican party
and is confined exclusively TO the
money question. He is not TO
be blamed for attempting to divert
discussion from the pertinent issues
Of the day by extolling the past
glories ofthe party. This is clearly
the republican plan of campaign
and the only course open to them
since their position on current ISSUES
is incapable of being successfully
defended. These bits Of historical
eloquence read well, but the
won't make votes. The vote
naturally asks the question "Wha
are you doing and what do yoI
stand for today" The democrati
platform by its silence recognize
the money question as settled TO
the time and the people agree wit
it. Republican orators will eNpen
their efforts in vain to resursect i
