THE EASTMAN TIMES.
M. L. BURCH. Editor & Proprietor.
THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1878.
7th District.
The campaign, in the 7th District is
*<ly and lion. Geo. N. Lester,
the Democratic nominee, and Hon. Di.
Fcl£on,the Democratic (?) Independent,
a ! ready having a very intciesting
time in the way of speech making.—
The speeches at Cartcrsville last week
are reported as exceedingly lively,
Judge Lestei is a one-armed soldier,
haying lost liis right arm in the Lite
war, and was accused on the above Oo
casion by Dr. Felton in a public speech
of trying to ride into office upon the
merits of His wounds, etc. This put the
blood of old Confederate soldiers to
boiling, and it is said won for Judge
Lester, with other incidents of the
day, quite a number cf votes. Lester
w.is a Union man and Felton a hot
secessionist before the war ; alter se
cession Lester, like a true patriot, went
with liis State, and took bis chances
with the boys in gray —Felton remain,
ing at h ime took his chances with the
women and children. Citizens may
forget such little circumstances, but
Soldiers never do. The contest in the
7th district will perhaps! be 6ne of the
Gcorg'a elections this fall, and one
|l at will be regarded with a great deal
of iuterest throughout the State.
A VOICE FROM THE WEST.
Third Congressional District.
Mr. Editor— The article in your pa
per signed “Wire-grass Counties" ap
peals to the western side of the Third
District, and asks for the manifestation
of a liberal spirit on our behalf in the
next Congressional Convention ; and
says further that in all the elections
for the past three, which includes
the term of tlie present incumbent,
General Cook, that the largest Demo
ci atic majorities have been on the east
ern side of the District.
1 will admit tnat ihe eastern side of
the District has done the handsome
thing, and upon the vote as presented
by your correspondent which I pre
sume is correct, it is your side of the
District which has always given the
Democratic candidates such decisive
majorities, that has so easily guarani
t icd our success. Your correspondent
seems think that the eastern side of
the District ought to have a showing.
J do not think you will find our people
an unfair or illiberal people. Candidates
want office, and they push themselves
forward ; it is not so much that the
people are wedded to this man or that
man, but energy and tact in election
eering is what usually puts most of
fb.e ordinary candidates in office. But
row and then, a great man like Hill,
or Toombs, and such pke, whom the
people think can render them signaj
serv ice, and this .class of men the people
often feel an enthusiasm for, and are
wedded to. But these minute horses
get the elections generally by election
eering manuvers, getting in with the
newspaper men, and sometimes the
judicious handling of the social glass ;
and hence if one man is returned to
Li
Congress or to any other office for a
number of times, without giving the
plher section of the District an equal
pumber of terms of offieg, it is pot be
cause the people feel less kindly or
liberal towards that section of the Dis
trict. I don’t mean to apply the above
(especially to Gen. Cook more than oth
er politicians, lie is a clever man and
wants the office, and if he can get it
I don’t think the people ought to be
considi rod illiberal ; if anybody wants
it worse than he does let them work
harder.
As to the great mriss c‘f the people,
I don’i think they care so much any
way. I find in talking with tlie people
that there is a Thanilest liberal spirit
in the matter, and a great many of
Hem think your side ol the District
ought to have the candidate; there is a
considerable current of that kind, and
1 think it shows unselfishness., There
is no ground-swell for Cook or anybod)
else over here ; in Sumter county there
.arc two candidates, Cook and Fort,
and it is difficult to tell which will car
ry the county ; of the people quite a
number are neutral—some indifferent
ard some divided, and I learn there is
some division in .otheij counties. If the
eastern side of the river will, unite up
on some good man, I think the §tropg
‘probability is that they will got the
candidate, but if tliey fail to unite and
■AVe -should again get the candidate, it
it will .not be our fault, and I hope
tlvy will be generous and magnani
mous us ill y have heretofore been, and
again couie up with their large Di mo*
cratic majorities. I know it is a little
.difficult to keep the party united when
all the offices go to one section. Let
alt the contest be before the non^ina
tion, and after that jet everyb xly be
unite 1 upon tlie iiopiinee, and have no
such scramble as they have in the 7th
District , .
, There is not enough difference in the
Capabiliiie i of the different can l.dales,
Dan. Cook, Cols. Iv obec, Fori and
McArthur. The three first gentlemen 1
know, the other I have beau] well spo-
of. Gen. Cook made a good soldier.
So did Col. kibbeo, I learn, and a thou
sand others in the district who have
never been to Congress. I think 1 it is
quite well enough to reward a good
soldier, but if that be the exclusive test
I fear we will not be able to give eve
ry good soldier a term of eight years
m Congress \ and besides I think some
of the privates who carried their gun
and knapsack, and plodded along in
the mud and water, and were fed on
scant and indifferent rations, with their
shoes out aFthe toes, andjtheir breech
es out at the seat and knees, carrying
what little plunder they had on their
ba ks, while their General rode easily
along on a fine horse * with a canteen
/j ! *
of whisky or cool water to refr.sli him
self, a government wagon to haul his
large trunk, bedding, good clothes and
ample commissary supplies—l say if
soldierism is to be the sole test, quite a
a number of shell privates have equal
merit and capabilities with many of
the Generals.
■Some talk as if Generals did all tlie
lighting ; but those who were in the
ai my know quite different. I remem
ber distinctly seeing at the battle of
Fredericksburg the daring of a corpo
ral, which I am satisfied caused the pro
motion of a Colonel to a Brigadier-
General ; and yet so far as I know the
brave corporal got no credit for it ex
cept from his immediate comrades who
saw the act, and wliaf little private
talk was made of it.
Y v hat we want is harmony and Dem
ocratic success, and if your tile of the
river think you are entitled to the can
didate; bring up a united support arid
I think your chances are fair to get the
office.
I am r.ot a candidate for any office,
and expect to support and use my en
ergies, if necessary, to elect whoever is
nominated; j. A. Ansley.

Lainful Experiences of Student
Life,
What energy and perseverance may
accomplish is shown by the following
incidents as narrated by one of the
Professors of the State University to
Col. 11. 11. Jones, of the Macon Tele
graph. and published in Sunday’s issue
of that paper The letter is. written
from Athens, under date of the 11th
instant—is long and full of interest*
but we have space only for this portion
of it, and we ask all our boy and young
m^n,readers to carefully peruse it.—
Gol. Jones says: i
“It was just at the close of the war;
when poverty and privation were the
lot of thousands of the noblest and
best born of our people, that a timid
knock was heard at the door of the
college official. Up in opening iift f there
stood upon the threshold tlie figure of
a tall and haggard lookiug man, who
asked for admission into the Universi
ty as a beneficiary, lie was kindly re.
ceived and the proper certificate given
him. Still, however the poor fellow
lingered as though something sat heav
ily upon his mind. At length vViHi
much emotion he said :
“Professor, what is the price of board
here V'
? Ii # ;
He was told that in ‘commons,’from
sl*2 to sls per month would support
him comfortably and include room,
rent.
The poor man shook liis head sadly
and said : “I can’t afford to pay that."
He was about to depart in sorrow
when the kind professor said :
‘Coine to me to-morrow, and I will
see what can be done for you.’
Tlie next day together they visited
the numerous college dormitories, and
luckily found a vacant room. The
good professor also succeeded for a
mere trifle, in procuring a second-hand
chair, bed and table.
“Now," quoth he, “get a frying-pan
and piece of bacon, and bread from
the bake-shop daily (the stale is sold
very cheap) ahd if you really are re
solved upon obta'ning an education it
can be done in the way suggested at
but little cost. - .*
The noble fellow joyfully accepted
the situation, applied himseif diligent
ly, soon tooa a good stand in his class,
and to their honor be it spukeo,- was
Cver treated w r ith respect and consul*
oration by his comrades. Ere long the
noble ladies of Athens, hearing of Lis
heroic efforts to obtain that greatest of
earthly boons, an education, were
wont to send him supplies of bread and
other edibles, which were gratefully
accepted. And so this gallant man
continued to struggle on until his case
reached the ear of a kind and opulent
clergyman, who procured'a free schol
arship anil board for him in a New
England college, and after the lapse ol
some years, his education completed,
he was sent to a theological seminary
graduated With credit, and' is now a
useful and honored minister of the
Most High God. What a lesson may
the poor but virtuous youth of the
country learn from this remarkable in*
stance ol pluck and self-denial.
Some years since there came an im
pecunious and painfully bashful student
to the University, partially supported
by one of Georgia’s purest sons and
most renowned statesmen. He was
gentlo and we’l born, though •anxious
to excel and very ambitious.
Free board was proffered by one of
the professors, but, after a few days’
experience, the proud youth could not
consent to be under personal obliga
tions to the men who were to be the
judges of his progress;
Just then he received help from an
other source which enabled him to go
<>n in ,a frugal way. His companions
loved and honored him to such a de
gree that overp iwered by their kind
ness, he purposely so spoke at the Soph
omore exhibition as to give to his class
mates the prize lie might so easily have
won.
A year ro’led away, and for good
scholarship lie received a junior orator’s
place. But the wardrobe of tlie poor
youth was dilapidated and his coat had
become seedy, lie therefore modestly
declined the fairly won honor without
assigning any leasm* ah 1 asked to be
excused.
But lie was the foremost speaker of
the “Chi Phi’s’ and they were resolved
that their brother should have a place
in that brilliant Commencement pic
ture. Accordingly they went to work
forthwith ; found a student of similar
size with their comrade, took his meas
ure at the tailor’s and ordered a hand
some suit of clothes for him.
\\ ith much delicacy tliey contrived
to introduce their gift into the tied
chamber of the young orator during
his absence, and awaited the result.
lie accepted the delicate favor with
brimming eyes, arid at tlie Junior Ex
hibition, fired with a heaven-born en
thusiasm, delivered an address that
electrified the audience and took their
hearts by storm.
Another year elapsed, and that noble
youth again appeared upon the rostrum
bearing away the highest honors of his
class, and causing the sternest hearts
to melt under the tender pathos and
stirring appea's of his ringing elo
quence That youth ib now a rising
lawyer, gentle Christian and noble cit
izen of Georgia. We count him among
our dearest lriends, and leave the read
er to guess his name.
The Sumter Republican contains the
following account of a most diabolical
outrage committed in that section some
days since,: _.
Qn Monday morning, Bth iast., Miss
Belle Bryant, an orphan girl, about 13
years old, living with Dr \V. R. Ba
i i
ker in Lee county* was outraged and
murdered by some fiend while that gen
tleman was on a, visit to this city. We
learnVhat Mrs. Baker was sick in bed,
ancj the girl went to the spring between
eight and nine o’clock, which was about
half a mile distant fbom the house, for
a bucket of water ; when in the act
of stooping over the spring she was
assailed l3 r the inhuman scoundrel
who had been lurking behind a tree
near by awaiting his victim, seized her
by the throat, and (it is supposed by
Dr. Baker who examined the child)
was brutally outraged and choked to
death, then thrust head downward into
the spring. After awaiting the return
of the girl for several hours, Mrs. Ba
ker* suspecting something wrong, got
up and went to her father’s, Mr. Lart.
amore, a half mile distant?, and gave
the alarm. Immediately search was
made and the child was found head
downward in the spring, which is very
narrow and three or four feet deep.—
From the tracks in the sand it is cer
tain that this piece of diabolism was
committed by a negro ; and we hear
that bloodhounds have been put on
tiis tiail for the purpose of bringing
him to justice.
The Valdosta Times says : ‘We learn
that a number of our farmers are pull
ing fodder. Some were pulling as early
as the 4th of tins month.

HANGING OF MIKE SHAW.
Tlie Last Moments of tlie Doom
ed Mail—The Fatal Leap.
Yesterday, at Miliedgfriville, Mike
Shaw paid the extreme penalty of the
law, and on him was executed tlie sen
tence which the laws of our country,
framed injustice, wisdom and modera
tion, imposed.
The event was oue which will never
l>e forgotten by those who were iu any
way connected with ttie fearful legal
tragedy while the pauseless years roll
on.
The amount ot public attention which
has al s centered . around the case
was remarkable. The murder of a
woman always liab more interest about
it than that of one of the sterner sex,
and the murder of Mrs. Shaw was so
brutal, and around it lias always bung
in the popular mind, the cloak of mys
tery, and as nearly all the evidence in
the ease was circumstantial,, the inter
est had' never faded away.
The various stages of th'e case were
closely watched, and there was the
culmination of popular interest in the
immense crowd which came into tne
city of Milledgeville on yesterday.
Since the trial and sentence, Mike
has been confined in the jails of Rich
mond arid Fulton counties. More re*
cently he has been’ an inmate of the
latter prison.
A few weeks since', ho was carried
to Milledgeville from 1 Atlanta and re
sentenced c.ftei the adverse decision
of the Supreme Court, on his case.
He was then carried back to Atlan
ta.
On the 11th inst 'nt Sheriff Arnold,
ot Baldwin county, brought him down
to Milledgeville, for the last time for
him to p iy the fearful penalty of the
law.
Within the doomed riian the hopes of
life were very strong.
On the way down, Sheriff Arnold
observed that lie retained over his
hands two handkerchiefs which he kept
moving about. A search revealed a
small steel instrument—a saw on one
side and a knife on the other—and with
this he was attempting to saw his
irons. About Social Ciiciala key was
found on his person. lie was then
tied to the seat. For more keys were
found on him by the time he reached
Milledgeville.
The last night he was placed in a
cell in the secon 1 story ot the jail
of Baldwin county and chained to the
floor.
At little after dark he partook hearti
ly of supper. 'lhe light w. s spent in
sleeplessness.
There were strong reason to appre
hend some demonstration by his friends
arid a rescue was feared. To meet
these demonstrations, if made, or to
prevent theiri, if contemplated, a de*
tachment of the Baldwin Blues guard
ed the jail with ceaseless tread.
Through the still watches, of the
night a flickering hope seemed to play
over the soul of tlie fated criminal, and
while its feeble beams last, sleep was
banished. As morning dawned he fell
into a troubled slumber for a short
while.
At 7 o’clock he partook of breakfast;
eating with some relish. At 7£ and vine
service was he’d and mass said by
Rev. Father Bazin, of Macon, and the
holy communion of the Catholic church
was administered.
In the cell with him were lfbv. Louis
Bazin of Macon ; Rev. Win. Qiiinlan,
of Atlanta, his spiritual adviser at
that place, and Rev. Thom s O’H ira,
of Milledgeville. These three divines
remained with him until the last sad
scene of all, doing all in their power
to administer the comforts and con
solation of the Catholic religion.—
They advised and urged him to make
a public confession, if he had commit
ted the Crime.
He talked with remarkable calmness
of the approaching event. About nine
o’clock lie lost his self command and
wept. A little later his counsel visited
him, and ta them he expressed himself
entirely satisfied with their efforts in
his behalf.
His mother did not come to see him
but sent him a letter. He read it and
burst into tears.
Several of the relatives of Shaw came
to see him about 11 o’clock. The meet
ing between him and Henry Miller, his
the extreme. The two men locked
each other in an embrace, and then
sinking down on his knees at bis feet
Miller clasped his brother about the
waist and remained, both weeping, in
this position for some time.
His stop-father, a grey-hatred old
man, and another brother, were also
deeply affected.
* . t.
Tnere, in a cell, about ten by twelve
sat the Jooiried man, waiting for a feW
more ticks of the clock to mark the
hour when Iris fife would be a forfeit
to the law. He sat with his coat off,
pale and haggard, with a prayer-book
in his hand. 11 is eyes were very pierc
ing f an 1 burning with a brilliancy en
gendered by the tdrrible importance of
the occasion, they looked almost dem
on-like.
At eleven o’clock he was asked if
he would have something to cat, but
he declined. 4
At 11$ o’clock the priests returned,
and he entrusted to their care his little
daughter. l?e requ sted a private in
terview with Father Quinlan, which
Was granted.
The hour ot 12 drew near. Friends
look their leave.
At 12 his shackles were broken and
handcuffed. He was marched to the
carriage, and under a strong guard of
infantry aud cavalry lie was carried to
the gallows, erected a half mile from
the centre of the city, by the banks of
Oconee river. Here an enclosure of
eighteen feet high by eighteen feet
square had been erected'. In it was
the gibbet, itself eighteen feet m
height.
Around it the troojW deployed, the
Baldwin Blues in command of Captain
B. R. Herty/the cavalry commanded
by Mr. Ennis and the whole force
commanded by Colonel Miller Grieve.
LAST SPEECH.
Before entering the enclosure, Shaw
was allowed an opportunity to address
the crowd.
A confession or something of that
kind was expected. lie said, “I stand
my friends here to-day charged with
a crime I never committed. Hoped the
people would pass over his' sins. That
he was heartily sorry for them all, and
hoped God would forgive him/* The
Creed and Lorcßs prayer were then re
cited.
He was then taken inside, and the
religious rites of the Catholic church
were impressively read.- The last v oi ds
of farewell Wi re spoken. '1 he black
cap a id no' se were adjuste !,- fhe feet
and arms pinioned, and the trap put
m readiness. Leaning against one of
the posts of the gallows tho vrofortin
nate man, with his eyes blinded to the
outer world by the black cap, began
to pray. He sent up a petition which
was touching in its simplicity and pe
culiarly comprehensive. He spoke in
a very low voice scarcely audible. He
prayed first fof himself, for his “troub
led-hearted old mother,for his father’
his brothers, counsel, little daughter
and those who had engaged to take
care of her. He then offered a general
petition for every one.
The sheriff here interrupted him,
and said, stand further to the
right in the middle*of the plank.’* He
did so intimating that he was ready.
He then said, '’Good bye, Mr. Arnold ;
tell your wife good bye for me. One
thing I want to ask, don't let me hang
any longer than I am dead/’
The doomed man than standing in
the centre of the trap resumed his pray-*
er; and with the words “this is the last
time, oh God—** on his lips the tim
bers were sprung and With a heavy
thud Mike Shaw fell to the full length
of the rope, and was suspended be
tween heaven and earth. The fatal full
occurred precisely at 1 o’clock: The
tody was terribly convulsed. The
Harris twitched nervously; and the
whole frdmb trembled like an aspen
leaf.
The nerve its twitching ceascJ at 4
minutes, and a crucifix which was firms
ly clasped in his hand until then fell to
the ground.
At five mihutes his pulse beat 120 to
the minute ; at six minutes 90, and
gradually they decreased so until it
became too indistinct to be counted.—
At ten minutes the pulse was gone,
arid at thirty-seven minutes he w T as
pronounced and the soul of Mi
chael was in the presence of his
Maker.
The fill was five and a half feet.—
The neck was not broken and death
resulted from strangulation.
The remains were tinned over to the
friends of the deceased and were car
ried by the Central road train to Ste
vens' Pottery, and thence to his late
home for burial.
The physicians examining the body
were Doctors Whitaker arid Talbird,
assisted by Doctors Harper, Smith and
Lockhart.
Just before the fatal fail the crowd
made a rush for the enclosure. The
infantry promptly repelled the advance
and one colored man was Slightly hurt
with a bayonet.
To the last Shaw refused to be in-,
terviewed, and made an affidavit the
night before the execution that lie had
authorized no life of himself to be pub
lished.
The crowd in the city was composed
principally of colored people. Nearly
rive thousand were on the grounds.—
The streets loading to the gibbet were
crowded.
Representatives of the New York
Herald, Atlanta Constitution arid the
Macon Telegraph k Messenger were
present and witnessed the execution.
The crime for which Mike Shaw suf
fered is still fresh in the minds of our
readers. Mrs. Shaw was killed on 'the
30th of April, 1877, by a blow on the
head with a heavy light-wood blud
geon, and a gun shot wound in the
bead.
lie was arrested on the testimony of
his little girf about 4 years of age, and
by 1 iis manner betrayed himself.
The case was tried at the August
term of the Superior Court of Baldwin
county, and the defendant convicted of
murder. It was carried to the Su
pieme Court on a motion for anew tr i
al, which was refused, and nothing re
mained but to await the coming of the
day of execution.-
Shaw was birt 2G year's of age at' the
time Gf his execution. He was born
and raised in Baldwin comity. I?e bore
a bad character throughout the county,
and is supposed to have been connec
ted with a score of murders. He was
what is known as a dangerous man.
There are many incidents and rumdi’s
of desperate deeds* told of the execu
ted man which are enough to make the
stoutest heart- qnhke.
T his is the first white person hung
in Baldwin county in more than forty
years,- and it was the earnestly express,
ed wish of many that twice forty may
pass before another hanging shall again
occur.
