Lamar County is not expected to accomplish a thing that three States have failed to do, while they were backed by rewards that at one time aggregated $10,000. Though the telegrams were over drawn, in some respects, they have done our county and people no harm, and it is idle gossip to indulge in that kind of talk. There is no man, I care not who he is nor where he hails from, who knows that would have been the result had the officers remained in their offices quietly and let excitement continued, with no endeavor to prevent lynching or stop a rescue in times of this character there is but one kind of action in officials, that will answer. It must be prompt, decisive, and fearless, when you hamper an official, in the discharge of his duty by “public opinion” you have destroyed his usefulness to the county and state. Had Sheriff METCALFE and judge YOUNG quietly sat in their offices, and taken no action; had a mob resulted an dealt out to old man ALLEN BURROW, JOHN BURROW and JIM CASH the severest penalty of the law, death or had they been rescued by friends, wheat then would the critics be saying about “Sheriff” and “judge” and what would the newspapers be saying about Lamar County and its people. The newspapers would have had a great deal more to say about Lamar County, and it would have of a much worse character. Sheriff METCALFE, under his oath of office, was bound to protect his prisoners, as well as prevent their rescue, even at the peril of his own life. Was it better for him to rely upon a posse of citizens unaccustomed to such duties, without discipline, and with old pistols and rusty shot guns, than to cal for a well organized body of citizen soldiers, accustomed to such duties, well armed and equipped? It is difficult to comprehend how any body can choose the former. Sheriff METCALFE acted discreetly and properly, and his action should be endorsed by every good citizen in Lamar County. After the arrival of the soldiers, and the quiet end of the troubles, it may be natural to think hat they were brought here unnecessarily, but to say the least, it must be a very uncommon kind of nature. Who could have ventured an opinion on the day before the trial? Non one who understood the situation and looks calmly at it without bias. Sheriff METCALFE deserves and should have the hearty endorsement of every law abiding citizen in the county. THE STATE CONVICTS A waste of breath and the veriest nonsense is to talk of abolishing the “Alabama Convict System” The laws and the convicts we shall have with us always. Let us waste no time in considering needless, questions, but devote all our abilities and energies to some wise solutions of the problem……. AN ORPHANS’ HOME – To Be Established by the Two Methodist Conferences PINE STRAW BAGGING–Its Manufacture to be Commenced on a Large Scale – Wilmington, N C NIPPED IN THE BUD – Capture of Some Wayward Young Men Who Want to Scalp Something Four young boys, ranging from 12 to 16 years of age, were caught by Capt. Sharpe last evening, at the request of their parents. It leaked out that they had made up their minds to go to Texas, and joint the BURROW or some other gang, and had made all preparations to take the southbound cannon ball this morning on their way to the Lone Star State, with a cooperative capital amounting to $14. Capt. Sharpe had some trouble in locating the young fugitives, but finally tracked them to East Lake, where they had resolved to spend the night prior to their departure, and took them all in charge, returning them shortly afterwards to their parents. Capt. Sharp is of the opinion that they will not be able to sit down this morning. – [Birmingham News] Troy Messenger Work has commenced on the Central warehouse building fitting it up for the shoe factory…………….

RUSH and family returned to town Tuesday. A great deal of fruit has been for sale on the street this week. Messrs WILLIE and FLEM BRADLEY are spending the week at home.

Only one marriage license has been issued this week. JESSE C. REEVES, JR. and ALLIE W. HARRISON Miss SALLIE LOKEY, a charming young lady of Crews depot is the guest of Mrs. MOLLIE YOUNG this week. Owing to our absence the first of the week we have been unable to report any of the proceedings at the Institute. The attendance at the Institute has been rather small during the day sessions, but good audiences were present at night. Miss NELLIE ANN LANGLEY, daughter of Mr. W. R. LANGLEY who lives two miles north of town, died on August 2nd, from fever. Everybody is very much disappointed because Prof. T. J. MITCHELL is not attending the Institute, although the distinguished gentlemen present are fully as entertaining. Our town was graced this week by the presence of three charming young ladies, Misses BETTIE WEST, of Caledonia, Miss, MITTIE DUNCAN and CORA JERNIGAN, of Molloy, accompanied by Mr. S. L. WELLS, of Caledonia. If this issue of the Courier does not contain its usual quality of news we believe our reader will look over this, as the editor and compositor have been attending the camp-meeting, which you no doubt think we could profit by so doing.

The amount of business transacted was not large but of an interesting character. There was a full board in attendance and after the usual allowance for the poor a new road was established from Sulligent to the Fayette and Aberdeen road in Moscow Beat. Another new road was established in Moscow Beat leading from Moscow to the Brown road. The discussion on this was somewhat lively; damages had been awarded Mr. SAMP LOLLAR for going through his field, Mr. LOLLAR objected to the award and to the road going through his field at all. A compromise was made by Mr. LOLLAR giving 25 feet of land around his fence and the road was established going around the fence. D. D. HOLLIS and J. W. L. FLINN were appointed overseers of the road and JOHN CHANDLER of the last mentioned road. The ex-officio fees of officers were taken up with allowances as follows: Sheriff $190 ex-officio; Judge $100 and Clerk $100. The Sheriff and judge were allowed the road fee of $90 each on showing of having diligently performed their duties. These are the lowest allowances made in any county in the state except one for the same service. The officers express themselves very well pleased with their allowances. The treasury commissions were raised to five percent on disbursements. The footing of tax books is not made at this writing but will be done by next week. JURORS FOR FALL TERM Grand Jurors R. C.
