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. Americus, Ga., July 15, 1878. TELFAIR SUPERIOR COURT. Mcßae, Ga. } July 16,4878. Mr. Editor —Telfair Court organized at 11 o’clock a. sr., and after an elabo rate charge from his honor Judge A. C. Fate, retired, and this evening at 5 o’clock p. m. returned a true bill against David Wells, charged with misdemean or in attempting to murder the family of J. D. Wynn by poisoning his well. In attendance on the Court we no tice Judge Pate, Hon. C. C. Kibbeo, Hon. Thos. Simmons, Cols. Tom Eason, Wootten, Roberts, DeLacy, Holton* Harris, Denton, Williams, Horne, and the local bar. The newspapers are represented in the persons of Messrs. Woods and Burton. The Court is expected to hold dur ing the week. We notice in attendance gentlemen from all parts of the coun try interested in sheep culture—three parties Ring indicted for larceny in stealing sheep. There are also two ne groes accused of obstructing the rail road! in which Col. Lofton will appear ior the State as commissioner for the road—as we learn. \ ' As for polities, the people seem to be impressed with the conviction that this side of the 3d Congressional dis trict is entitled to the lepresentative, and lion. C. C. Kibbeo of Pulaski seehffi to be the man. He has many • t warm friends here. The people report good crops, and an abundant yield is expected. Correspondent. 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. From the Macon Telegraph, 13th. 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. - . . *. STA T E NEW S , And ydt the day of Georgia mon strosities is not elided. The Harmony Grove Protjr&s tells of hating seen a chicken with three bills, dud having heard of another with four wings. They say Judge Lester is riding to success on a tidal wave in the Seventh District. This is as it should bo. It is a bad year for independents and dis organizing. Mr. H. W. J. Ham, who has been engaged in Georgia journalism for sev eral years past, has removed to Cin cinnati, and purchased the Post, a newspaper published in that city. The Atlanta Constitution prints an abstract of the last quarterly report of the Stile Treasurer, which ghows Ihe total receipts during that time to have been $945,938.29, and the ex penses $3D6,02i,54 ; having a baanc.t in the treasury of $548,916.75. The Macon Telegraph says, “the grand jury yesterday morning found a bill of indictment against the late bankers, Messrs. Cubbelge, Ilazle hiirst &-Co. The offense of which they stand accused is cheating and swin dling. Messrs. Good, Small A Cos. are the prosecutors/ The Macon Telegraph of the 14th says two of the firm of Messrs: Cub bedge, Hazleburst & Cos., the broken bankers, were arrested that day; Mr. R. \Y.
