Threatened Life Of Governor.

Atlanta, May 24.-John William
Powers is back in Georgia a hand
cuffed> prisoner, despite the fact that
he told Governor O'Neal, of Alabama
that he would shoot him dead in his
Office at the capital if he had the
temerity to issue requisition papers.
Governor O'Neal decided he would
take a chance and signed the papers
right under Powers nose. Powers
is the picturesque outlaw who re-
tired in the wilds of Alabama abou'
a year ago and kept the people in the
mountains around Vincent in con-
tinued state of terror.
Powers went always armed, ano
has had several hairsbreadth escapes
Once private detectives got the droE
on him and were ready to take him tc
Birmingham, when he asked permls'
sion to put on a clean collar. Hand
cuffed as he was the officers never
thought of danger and granted the
request. Powers got revolver ou1
of the bureau drawer instead of the
clean linen, and holding it in botf
his handcuffed hands got the drop OF
the officers and escaped.

ARM CAUGHT IN MILL.
Florence Citizen Painfully Hurt in
Accident at Grist Mill.

Florence, May 24.-Mr. A. NJ. Hill,
a we'll known citizen and farmer OF
the Peniel section of this county
suffered a bad accident early yester-
day morning, in which he lost two
and part of two more fingers, be-
sides, he will probably lose the entire
use of his left hand.
Mr.. Hill was at the grist mill grind
ing corn for a neighbor and, as he
thought the mill was lot running, he
stuck his hand up the mouth of the
hopper, from which the meal leaves
the mill, and his fingers were caught
between the rocks. They were
ground up badly and it was only by
terrific force that he managed to
pull his arm out. The sinews in the
arm were literally pulled out and he
suffered agonies until DR.. D. H.
Smith, from this city, who was hur-
riedly summoned, reached his side
and administered opiates.
Later in the day Mr.. Hill came to
the city and had the wound dressed.

charge of the bonds of mail contract
ors from a man who wished to get

sentence contains a valuable sugges-
ton to others who dislike to receive
disagreeable news, especially on busi-

he signed the bond merely to oblige
a friend and then continues with his
personal history:

We confess to some curiosity IN
regard to the recent shake-up In the
Pamela cotton mill situation in
Greenwood. Some time ago Col. F.
S. Evans went to work to raise capl-
tai for erecting another cotton mill
at Greenwood. He organized the
company and was made president
but a few months ago, before the
mill was ready to run, Mr.. Evans re-
signed and S. H. McGhee was elected
president. Mr.. McGhee has gone
ahead and finished the plant and the
mill is now running. We know that
Greenwood is not a community where
high finance fourishes, and we are
little curious to know how it al
came about. Mr.. Evans, who by the
way, had been with the Southern
Cotton Oil Company for number OF
years, resigned his position to accept
the presidency of the cotton mill, and
now he is out of job but running
for congress.
