MORGAN WALKED
TO FREEDOM.
Mystery of Confederate Generals
Escape Believed Finally Solved.

Columbus, Ohio, April 49,
That Gen John H. Morgan, the
Confederate leader. whose mys-
terious escape from the Ohio
penitentiary November 81. 1863,
together with five of his staff,
has puzzled historians for almost
half a century, walked out of the
penitentiary to freedom through
the front gate, either boldly or
aided by officials at the institu-
tion is the belief of the authorities
at the prison.
After 48 years of searching, tn e
alleged Morgan tunnel was un-
covered today by prisoners exca-
waiting for new cell blocks. Con-
trary to history, it has proved
not to have been a tunnel dug by
the six men with spoons but an
air chamber built when the
building were erected, and ex-
tending from the main building
to the old chapel. It does not
lead outside the walls.

THE FAMOUS
4C-ACRE ROCK.
Monroe Man Visits the Mammoth
Rock in Lancaster County. What
Tradition Says.

tradition Says.
Monroe journal.
Last week the writer had the
privilege of seeing for the first
time the famous forty-acre rock.
1t is situated near Taxahaw,S. C.
The fact that it is so large, coupled
with the traditions that sur
round it, make it intensely in
teresting for a stranger to ex-
plore it. The rock itself is Q
coarse gray granite and is used
in that country extensively in
chimney building. OF course,
there is not forty acres exposed,
but there is one rock containing
at least ten acres without any
soil or vegetation whatever on
it. Nor is it level. It has the
appearance af vast snow bank.
and in places is so steep that it
is impossible to ascend it.
On this rock is the House
Rock, also the Dungeon, which
are cavities in the rock which
have never been fully explored,
especially the Dungeon, as it is
very dark inside. A good size
stream pours over these cavities,
making them difficult to reach.
On this rock is what is known
as the DEVILS track, a footprint
about twenty-one inches in height

is another track, corresponding
very well with the first except
for the other foot. Near by ID .

THE STATES COMMENTS.


Andrew Jackson.
THE STATES COMMENTS.
In commenting editorially on
the foregoing letter The State
says:
The tribe of detractors of Cen
eral Andrew Jackson who, since
his death, have tried to deprive
him of the honor, that he so
much cherished, Of having been
born in South Carolina, will SCOT
fingly say that the fac simile of
the letter of the General to Gov
ernor Hammond, in which he
speaks of his native State, South
Carolina" proves nothing. They
will chorus that no one disputes
me- ss7syHft ftnBksutfs staJsHHnrn6
was q South Carolinian and that
at least eight documents in
which he employed words to
that purport are in existence.
Nevertheless, it seems right
and expedient that this letter, in
the handwriting of the General
and sometime President, over
his signature, be printed for the
illumination of the minds of the
Daughters of the Revolution, of
Mecklenburg, North Carolina,
innocent victims of the heretical
and malign teachings of the
Charlotte Observer and the Char
lotte Chronicle.
These good and patriotic wom-
en-. thus led astray. have lately
caused a stone to be erected in
North Carolina, reciting that it
marks the spot on which General
Jackson was born. We have no
purpose of arguing the question
with them. or any other question
with any other good women or
|setof good women. but we be-
ieve that when they read the
letter to Governor Hammond,
writ with the Generals own
,and. and perceive the outstand-
ing pride with which he spoke of
South Carolina. his native State,
they will not fail to perceive.
also. with what indignation he
would have repelled the accusa-
don that he was born in North
Carolina.
When these good and noble but
now deluded women, reading be-
tween the lines, are thus Impress
eo. as perforce they must be,
they will repent then what they
hsge done and proceed to have
the face of the stone planed
srlooth again and then have the
stone itself removed to the spot
ir Lancaster county where Cen
etai jackson first saw the light.
A new inscription, qboting from
thsiletter. may then be engraved
uppsa the stone.

The Columbia state.

The Colun
Early in the 18th century DOM
mick A. Hall, a member of the
Charleston bar, was appointed
United States circuit Judge and
sent to the Fifth circuit, which
caused him to make the city of
New Orleans his residence. When
Gen. Jackson was in New Orleans
during the War of 1912, citizens
of New Orleans, resenting some
of the generals military meas
ures, obtained an injunction from
Judge Hall. The injunction, how
ever, did not restrain, and Gen.
Jackson proceeded with his meas
ures.
Subsequently Gen. Jackson was
fined for contempt of court by
Judge Hall. About 1843 a move
ment was begun in various States
to have a bill passed through con-
gress restoring to Gen. jackson
the fine that he paid. with intayl
teS ShdE4 That HsFe
port ,NSG adopted by the Sou !.
CaroiiHa legislature.
This action was conveyed in a
letter to Gen. jackson, at the
Hermitage in Tennessee, by Gov.
James II. Hammond.
Above is q fac simile of the au-
tograph letter of acknowledgment
of Gen. jackson to Gov. Ham
mond of his native State.

possession of Capt. James H.
Hammond of this city, a grand
son Of Gov. Hammond, and was

knowledge the receipt of your

ing the following resolutions

Resolved, that in the opinion
of this Legislature the fine i'm
posed during the late war with
Great Britain, by Judge Hall of
Louisiana upon Genl. Andrew
Jackson for an alleged contempt
of judicial authority, was tyrani-
cal and. unjust, and puts an un-
merited stain on the reputation
of that distinguished citizen.
Resolved, that our Senators and
Representatives in the national
councils be requested to use their
efforts with congress to ohave this
fine refunded to General Jack
son, with fdll legal interest. not
merely as q pecuniary indemnity,
but as reparation justly due by
the whole country for his em-
nent services, to his wounded
charactertfnd feelings"
Conscious as | am of the n.
