Foar of thorn looos thoir ohooklso and Okoape People who were on the streets last Monday morning, were a little bit excited by the news that spread rapidly that the convicts on the chain gang had escaped. Later in the day the reports were confirmed. The manner in which they effected their escape is very simple after it is done. The gang was brought to Union i last Saturday evening and lodged in jail, as usual, with their shackles on. Monday morning about day they were taken out and marched from town oi} their way to the place about sifc miles above here on the Meansville Road where they were to work. They obeyed orders and seemed us submissive as usual as they marched along with the shackles about their ankles and the chains jingling by their sides. But if a mind reader could liavs penetrated those thick skulls, he would not have found within them the dread of eighteen months on the chain gang, but he would have found the dull minds all aglow with the hope of an early deliverance. And if the guard had examined the shackles that morning he would have found them in a different shape from what they were 011 Saturday evening. Thus they marched along until they got to a point not far from the old hanging ground. There were four of them chained together. There 1 were two others, trusty ones, but so 1 far as is known they knew nothing of the plot. When they came to the 1 point above named the four chained j ones, asked the guard to allow them 1 to step aside for a few moments. 1 Being a short distance from the guard 1 and obscured by the woods and undergrowth, they slipped the shackle^ 1 ovar their ankles and when th* guard s f attention was next called* to them i they were running in every direction. < Of course the guard shot at them, but. i they all got away. Supervisor Scott was immediately notified and he with two others went in search of them, but without success. On examining J the shackles it was found that ihev had Leen bent in such n manner by ( flattening the rings slightly, that they 1 could be easily slipped ovor the foot, i They were originally circular and < were doubtless flattened by hammering or pressure, on Saturday or Sun- ' lay night, immediately alter which i no doubt, the plans were laid. The description of the negroes is i as follows: 1 vJharles Newbol?coal black negro six feet high: weighs ltil poinds lelt eye deficieut, about 22 years i old. John Sawyer?coal black negro, 0 feet 8 inches high; weighs 131 pounds, scar on forehead, about 13 years old. < William Agnew? illack negro live feet inches high, weighs 148 pounds, plain scar on left temple opposite left eye, about 1!? years old. Gilbert Williams?Dark uiuilato negro five feet U inches high, weighs i 14D pounds, scar on left wrist and scars all about over bis bead, about 18 years old. OFF TO THE EXPOSITION. The Johnson BifUs go to Atlanta to Swtll South Carolina's Bnnka Yesterday was Soutli Carolina day at tlie Atlanta Exposition and wo have no doubt our dear old State was well represented there. We hope it was as big a day for the Ex position as the departure of the John sob liiflofi was for Union. Our town takes a good deal of pride in her soldier hoys and a large crowd was at the depot Wednesday morning to see them oft". It was about nine o'elock when, attired in the blue and gold, thej inarehed with measured tread to the tap of the drum and the marshall f\ l)r 111 tin \IAtmfuin .Tnn'u uiuniv/ v. *-.vwiii?iU r? | effecient band, from the Armory to , the depot, There they had to wait some time for their train, and before ; it cams the train carrying the Constitutional Convention Delegates and tho Governor and some other State officials, and the Governor's Guard. The latter train stopped and stuid here some little time and IV;ends go! oil'to sue friends, and friends got m to see friends, and there v. as a genera' good time. Among the dele gates were Capt. J. T. Douglas and Mr. Win. A. Nicholson. Capt. Douglas did not go to Atlanta. There may have been other* of our i delegates aboard but wo did not see tliem. Aftera little that train full j of South Oaroliuiuus pulled out and j left the crowd still waiting for the Johnson Hi tics train. While they were waiting the boys gave three' Cheers for Dr. Blue Mour ain Joe's Band. Then the boys played "Dixie" and the venerable gentleman and gallant old soldier, Col. I. G. McKissick standing in the crowd, could not refrain from throwing up his hat and giving that old Rebel yell which has made many a yankee's blood run cold. O, it was a grand occasion. Very soon the train catne and it was literally filled with South Carolina College boys. It staid here just long enough to hitch on the' Johnson Rifles car and then pulled ont carrying another train full to swell the host of South Curolinians at Atlanta. We a 11 wish them a pleasant time and hope that thev wi/1 come back i ?..,1? ~r".i 1 ?i o.-A uuuic [iiuuuci ui inu ufur otu otatu than they have ever been before. The Pea Ridge Guards got on at Jonesville. Elta Jane. Our last letter to The Times rath er assumed a garbled appearance from our not baring time to number the M. .S pages in consecutive order. During our short stay in Union week before last we were impressed with tne wonderful amount of bnsincss being done there. The store of A. 11. Foster & (Jo. was jammed so full of customers on Wednesday that the clerks could hardly get a round, and the immense amount of goods going out of that and other stores was an indicator that the hard times was "ofl'duty," or had gone to liunt. a more congenial cliuia. Work on the Skull Shoals bridge o id piogressiug very well and we Lope ?oou to see it completed. When it is finished we suggest that the ladies jf Gowdoysvillc and l'iackacy town- : ship give a picnic. . Mr. W. R. Walker, and his sister Miss Minnie have returned from the Kxpewilion' at Atlanta where they spent several days quite pleasantly. Week before last your correspond- , ent visited me State fair, at CeluiaL?iu, during which time he took part , in the convention of United Confederate Veterans held in that city* This was a most enjoyable affair. The old soldiers captured the city and in turn the ladies captured the veterans and incarcerated them in the City Hall where they were fed bountifully on the rioheat and most substantial articles of food the market afforded to which was added a superabundance of fruits and dainties. The hospitality of the citiaena of Columbia was greatly enjoyed by the )ld soldiers wlioVwere the gueats of Camp J lamp ton U. C. V a. Tho convention was held in the Couri house which was artistically decorated with flowers and evorgreeus to which was added quite a number of flags, irum iind afieniitreunootau?i?rt in liin?? >t the war. Conspicuous among | the-.# waa the battle flag of Kershaw 's brigade. The proceedings through out were of tfco most pleasant kind. Distinguished soldiers from all parts of the tState were present and rich and poor alike stood upon the same plane and received the same generous kindness and attention at the .winds of the noble ladies of our Capitol city. Ciud bless the noble women of our country for they arc the mothers, wives, (laughters, sisters and swectharts of heroes. Col. i. G. McKissick of Union was elected commander of the second brigade of the S. C. Division United Confederate Veterans. This is composed of all camps west of York, Chester, Fuirliohl, Biehland. Orangeburg and Berkley counties. The next Convention will bo held in Charleston at which time the old ' City By The Sea" proposes to hang the latch strings on tho outside of the doors. T. B. Butlor, Esq. of the Union bar was in this section some days ag) m professional business. Mrs. Amanda Leo has been very bad off with erysipelas on her hand urid arm. She is better now. We re glad to know that the pick" : iu'SS i? getting out of the county ; and good health is prevailing, Mrs. Betsy Blade died on the 10 I inst and was buried at Abingdon i Creek. J he had been conplnning j for a few days only and her death j was not loiKed for so soon. Vox. j =5^4' 1 WM A. Nich - I* A Xh tr.Nrxo^r Respectfully solicit yoi REPRESENT COMPANIES WIT!
