THE TREATMENT
OF CONVICTS.
The Records Prove James Thomas’
Story Utterly False,
He Had Only One Foot When
Sent to the Penitentiary.
Dr. W. D. Carter’s Statement About
Fayette Yarby’s Tale of Woe.
Penitentiary Department,
Atlanta. On., April 18, '93.
Editors Augusta Chronicle:—
Your issue of the 13th inst., contains
un article headed “The State’s Shauie,”
at the conclusion of which you say that
you hud no desire to do tiny one an in
justice, and would grant an opportunity
tor reply, from any one authorized to
speak from the other side. Os the story
of Fate I’urby 1 know nothing, he hav
ing been discharged before 1 assumed
the duties of Principal Keeper of the i
Penitentiary, but my knowledge of Col.
Smith's management of convicts, since
my connection with the penitentiary con
vinces me that Yarby’s statement is
false.
James Thomas, who so successfully
worked on the sympathy of Macon’s
mayor, and thereby obtained a pass to
Savannah, was convicted of horse steal
ing in Dekalb county, in 1889, and not
of manslaughter as he stated.
He was sentenced to the penitentiary
for four years, served his time ami was
discharged July 12th, 1892, and not on
tiie 22nd, of March, 1893, as he claimed.
He was a badly crippled negro when re
ceived in the penitentiary, having lost
a foot and sustained other injuries in a
railroad wreck, prior to his conviction,
so he stated, and was not frost bitten,
during his stay in the penitentiary, be
was also a loathsome syphilitic. He was
badly scalded in said wreck, and the
white spots on his arms were from that,
a id not from carrying hot bricks. Con
victs are not allowed to carry hot bricks,
or to perform any other labor not ex
pecltd of free labor. Just before bis
lotm expired, and at his own request,
and in accordance with the judgment of
Drs. O’Daniel and Green, hoping by the
operation to better his condition they
d.d amputate his leg or more properly
slump below the knee. The operation
was skilfully done and an apparent good
recovery followed. He walked wherever
he pleased on a “peg leg,” but no sur
geon could promise permanent relief to
such a constitutional wreck. He further
stated, that when he was discharged
the authorities gave him "the same suit
of clothes that he wore when he went
in and ten cents to pay his way home.
When lie was discharged he was given
a suit of new clothes and six dollars
mid some cents to pay his railroad fare
to s.iue point in South Carolina. The
nuthorit.es have hjs receipt.
tie again stated that convicts are
cruelly and brutally treated. This is un
true. The law makes it the duty of the
assistant keeper of the penitentiary to
visit each camp once a month and re
port the condition to the governor. Col.
J{. F. Wright, the present assistant is a
conscientious ofli'cr, and performs this
duty well. The law also requires the
/ Principal Physician to visit each camp
every two months and inspect the sani
tary condition. Dr. O’Daniel is well
and favorably known throughout the
slate, and his professional ability, and
his integrity are unquestioned. The law
also requires the Grand Jury or coun
ties wuere.u the camps are located to
examine the management in detail twice
a year, and report in their presentments.
Hack legislature sends a committee both
from the house iiud senate to perform
the same duties With these sate guards
is it not reasonable to suppose that if
such inhumane, hrutaf ami outrageous
treatment was perpetrated, •some of
these oUieers would discover it? Vet.
there lias not been a single unfavorable
report made by’ any of the grand juries
or legislature committees since my con
nection with the department, but their
reports have been uniformly compli
mentary. The infliction of too severe
punishment has been brought to my
knowledge in only two instances, ami
in both eases the offenders were prompt
ly discharged.
The Chronicle, refers to a letter pub
lished in its columns on the 16. inst.,
copied from the Boston Globe on the
Curious of the South, in which the
writer accepts as authoratative, con
cerning the negro, the views and state
ments of a negro hack driver, who be
lieves that George Washington signed
the Emancipation Proclamation. Now.
I think the correspondent of the Boston
Globe had the same right to accept his
statement ns facts as the correspondent
<>f other prominent southern newspapers
have to accept and publish to the world
as facts interviews with discharged ne
gro convicts. 1 am utterly surprised to
linil lending newspapers interviewing
discharged negro convicts, and publish
ing their statements to be scattered
broadcast over the country. Ought not
the reports of the Principal Keeper.
Principal Physician Assistant Keeper.
Legislative Committees and Grand Jur
ies, performing duties under oath, be
more readily believed than the state
ments of ex-bonviets? 1 hope all nows
papers that, have published the state
ment of these ex-eonvicts. Aarby and '
Thomas will do me and the department
ihe justice to give this letter the same
prominence given to their statements
heretofore published.

FATE YARBY’S STORY.
Smithonin, Gn.. April 19. 1893.
Editors Augusta Chronicle:—Enclosed
[ send you a statement made by Dr. W.
D. Carter, which explains itself, and
completely refutes the story of Fayette
Yarby. 1 thank you for calling my at
tention to this matter. Please publish
Ur. Carter's statement. Respectfully,
James M. Smith.
Winterville, Ga., April 15. 1893.
Editors Chronicle:—ln your issue of
•' • Hili inst. I have read an article on
vour editorial page headed. “Fate Yar
bv’s Story. In reference to layette
Varov, alias Ellis, and the story which
ho tells. I "beg to make the following
statement:
I am a physician of twenty years
practice Am a graduate of the Atlanta
Medical College. Have been doing a
general and extensive practice in the
entire surrounding country, and am now
and have been for the past thriteen con
secutive rears the physician in charge
of the Oglethorpe branch penitentiary,
located near Sinithonia. During that pe
riod 1 have, with few exceptions, visited
said camp daily; often two or three
rimes dailv. I have necessarily, in the
discharge of my duty as camp physi
cian, (become not only personally ac
quainted with each and every convict
who has at any time been an inmate of
this prison, but have become acquainted
with physical condition, health and gen
eral characteristics of each one.
As the law requires, I have kept a
record of each and every convict, which
allows the age, color, crime, length of
sentence, county from which received,
how long in jail before being received,
time when received, mid time when dis
charged; pliya'cal condition and general
health when received; also physical con
dition and general health when <lis
<-harg«i. I find that said Fayette Yar
by, alius Ellis, was received nt Ogle
thorpe branch oainp April 10, 1889, and
discharged June 15th, 1890. He was 16
years of nge when received. His crime
was manslaughter.
Upon examination of the books kept
at the camp by the captain. I find said
Fayette upon being diaciinrged was given
a new suit of citizen’s clothing, one pair
of new -hoes, one new lint, nil of I lie
value of sl2, and $lO beside* to pay liis
way back to the county from whence he
mo.
While in prison nt this ramp said
i'.iyet.ie wa remarkably healthy, never
h i-’ing 10-t a -I iy from sickness or any
oiie-r cause. When received he weighed
lln pounds, and uh—i discharged he
weighed 150 pounds, h will thus be seen
thut while he was a -prisoner at this
eamp lie grew and fattened like a pig.
< >m- of his rhai.i. |-|‘ : ; i while at this
'.ingi. was his unusual disposition, even
for one of bls race, to be untruthful.
Dilling the whole period of tuy ser
vice r.s physician ut Oglethorpe branch
penile.itinry, I have neves known, seen,
or heard, from any reliable source, of
any convict or convicts being severely
whipped or in any manner inhumanely
or ill treated. On the contrary I know
they have been well fed. well clothed
and shod, worked in moderation, well
housed, kept in doors during severe
weather, and uniformly treated with hu
manity. When sick the best attention
has been given them. Tn every instance
where a convict has been discharged,
the convict when discharged was
healthier and more able bodied than
when received.
At this camp the record shows a less
death rate, a less per cent, of escapes
and casualties than at any prison of
which I have any record or knowledge.
Last year, about .Tune, I was called
to attend said Fayette. He was living
with a colored tenant of Col. Smith’s,
about six miles from the camp. This
tenant owns his own stock, furnishes his
own labor, and pays standing rent for
the farm which he cultivates. Col.
Smith has nothing to do with those
whom he. the tenant, hires. This tenant
informed me that he had hired this boy
I' ayette soon after he was discharged
f rom the camp; that he .did not owe
Fayette anything, finding it a difficult
matter to keep Fayette from getting
ahead of his wages. I elicited this in
formation in arranging how I was to
get pay in case I agreed to treat Fay
ette. The tenant finally agreed to see
me paid, and Fayette agreed to work
with tins tenant and pay him whatever
sum my medical service's might amount
to. T found Fayette afflicted with a
very severe and serious case of syphillis,
ami triable to perform any lalior" I at
tended him regularly for a period of six
months. Finally I succeeded in curing
linn so he could do light work. He re
cov'‘red the Ist of December.
The tenant paid me my fee for
medical services to Fayette.
Fayette when discharged from the
enmn was entirely sound and healthy.
He ci.iitraeted this disease after he wav
diseharged.
The tenant informed me that fnelitd
mg my bill for medical services on Fay
ette (he boarded him. washed for him
and waited on him) that Fayette had
cost him $15(1. Fayette left this tenant
as soon as he was fairly able to do good
labor in order to get rid of paying him,
the tenant, a inst and honest debt.
After _ having of his own ac
cord. in my presence. contract
ed to work for this tenant until
be. the tenant was re-imbnrsed for the
expenses and outlay to which he hod
been put by reason of the severe afflic
tion of Fayette, bv this conduct Fay
ette showed himself to be utterly unre
liable. and without an ounce of grati
tude.
As to hirelings being whinned, chained
run by dogs and worked like convicts
'her no truth in 'he report whatever
F-iv ute has never been at or near the
'■amp since he was discharged, nearly
throe years neo. Neither has he been
at or near Col. Smith's home place, he.
Fayette, living six miles from Col.
-’••i ’ li's home with a tenant of Col.
Smith's as already stated. Hence he
.‘ould have no personal knowledge o’,
the treatment of the eonviets since he
was discharged, or anv of the hirelings.
During the whole time Fayette lived
with this colored tenant of Col. Smith’s
I did the practice for this tenant, his
family and employes. , Fayette migh*
have left the employment of this tenant
.-it any time as there was nothing to
prevent it. Ido not think any one was
interested or benetitted by Fayette re
maining in tliis section so long after be
ing discharged. The tenant would have
been largely benetitted had Fayette left
twelve months before he did.
The conduct of Fayette before he left
was very bad. On one occasion he way
laid a negro man and knocked him in
the head with an axe. On another oc
casion he drew his pistol and shot at
a negro man. and was only prevented
frotn shooting again by parties siezing
him and taking his pistol away.
Col. Smith has always insisted that
the eonviets be well treated and has
rendered me every assistance needed in
giving them medical attention. I have
been practicing among the tenants, the
wage-hands and the employes of Col.
Smith for twenty years, and have had
every opportunity of witnessing and
knowing his treatment and management
of every one with whom he has business.
Col. Smith is one of the most charitable,
liberal and humane men I ever knew,
liis policy has been to always take good
cate of his tools and machinery, to feeo
well and take good care of all liis mules
and stock, to buijd the best of houses
for all his tenants and laborers, to look
after the health and comfort and well
being of all bis employes. His theory
is that it pays him a big per cent to
pursue this policy.
He has had built at his own expense
three respectable churches and school
houses for bis colored tenants ami la
borers. in each case deeding the land
on which these houses are built to the
eburvhes. Colored people and white
people, not only from his own county,
but from adjoining counties, come to
him to got pecuniary help and advice
in their business, which he always fur
nishes to the deserving.
Col. Smith pays his employes good
wages and aids and assists them when
misfortune overtakes them. Ninety pin
cent, of the convicts discharged from
his eamp have the highest respect for
him. Occasionally an ingrate tries to
slander him.
Some years ago a negro by the name
of Muncey started a story that the con
victs nt this eamp were made to cut
wheat all day on Sunday: and that three
of the convicts were shot and killed
for refusing to work on Sunday. This,
as a matter of course, was wholly false,
and without foundation. Fayette Yar
iw's story is on a par with Munceys.

THE CHRONICLE, APRIL 26, 1893.
EDWIN BOOTH ;
IS PARALYZED.
He was Found Unconscious in His
Room.
This is the Great Actgr’s Second
Paralytic Stroke.
The Doctors Regard His Recovery as
Very Doubtful.
New York, April 19.—Edwin Booth,
the tragedian, is lying at the Player's
Club, 16 Grainen-y Park, suffering from
paralysis.
It is feared tljat this, the second par
alytic stroke wfth which the fatuous ac
tor bus been stricken, will prove fatal.
At 11 o’clock this morning Stipt. Me-
Gouiugle of flie Player’s Club, not hav
ing heard frltn Booth, opened the door
of his sleei/ng apartment at the club
and found /.he tragedian lying in bed
unconscious/ Dr. St. Claire Smith and
Dr. Ransonj were immediately summoned
and they give it as their opinion that he
had been stricken with paralysis some
time duri. g the night.
Drs. Smith and Ransom remained with
the patient all day and at midnight
thought there were signs of conscious
ness.
life condition was considered very
critical and the attending physicians
said that it wai| very doubtful if Booth
would recover.
Later—At 1 o’clock this morning it
was announced at the club house that
Mr. Booth was sinking, and that, while
he might recover, his condition was
more precarious than at any time since
the attack.
TUE BILL AI.TEKED.
there Will Be Much Discussion Over the
Dl.pensnrv Act.
Columbia, S. C., April 19.—A sensation
was sprung in the fight against the dis
pensary bill today, when Major Hamilton,
counsel for Chester dealers, filed his re
joinder to the city council’s answer. He
charges the speaker of the house of re
presentatives with altering the bill after
It had been passed by the house. The
paragraph making the charges says that
the bill never force of law iu the
state because the original which was
passed by both houses was altered and
'changed by Ira B. Jones and amended as
lie saw fit, when it appears n the journal
that no such changes or alterations lad
been sanctioned. The charge will doubt
less bring forth much acrimonious dis
cussion.
DENTES THE CHARGE.
Columbia , S. C., April 19.—Speaker
Jones lias telegraphed The Register a
dqni'al of the charge that he altered the
dispensary bill after it had passed the
general assembly and without the war
rant of the hiouses. He simply marked
on the bill, house’s adoption of the sen
ate’s amendment thereto.
THE WAGE WORKER'S LEAGUE.
Die Convention wna Held at Columbia Ye«-
terdny-Cnnghman e p-«lo
Columbia, S. C., April 19.—The wage
workers league, composed <xf one hun
dred and fifty delegates fom ull parts
of the state met here tonight at the
opera house. After a long discussion on
organization, G. W. Platt of Oconee
was chosen president: G. TV. Bateman
of Richland, secretary: G. E. Whaley
of Orangeburg, -treasurer. The conven
tion is opposed to Tillman, but the de
claration of principles was amended in
denouncing the non-performance of
promises by the state administration.
The employment of convict labor it
competition with free labor was d«
nounced. The immigrant question was
encouraged by the adoption of a reso
lution asking for all to tome to South
CarriMiia. Col. Caughmau. a former
reformer, made an earnest speech in
which he denounced the nreseat so-calleu
reform government.
GEN. C. A. EVANS
Elected President of the Fulton County
Confederate Veterans Association.
The election of General Clement A.
Evans to the presidency of Hie Fulton
County Confederate. Veterans’ Associa
tion was no higher compliment than
tiie distinguished veteran deserves, says
the Constitution.
Colonel TV. L. Calhoun has for sev
eral terms been president of the asso
ciation. and had once before determined
to resign the office on account of the
pressure of the work in the ordinary’s
office but his resignation was not ac
cepted before.
This time, however, he declared that
he could not accept the office for another
term, and would not allow his name to
go before the association for re-election.’
General Evans was elected to the of
fice by the members, and they congrat
ulated themselves on the selection they
made. General Evans will lead the mem
bers of the association to the train the
day the body of Jefferson Davis reaches
Atlanta.
General Evans is one of the old war
horses left in Georgia. He is a man
whose military record is without a blem
ish and as bright as chivalry could make
it.
He was born in Lumpkin, Stewart
county, Georgia, and was admitted to
practice law iu that town at the early
age of nineteen. He was a promising
young man with all the tire and genius
and eloquence that it took in those days
to make successful politicians, and pol
itics was his passion. He was a member
of the general assembly of his county
a number of years and was in the sen
ate just before the state capitol was re
moved from Milledgeville to Atlanta.
He was a member of the secession con
vention and was an elector for Breck
enridge.
He went to the war when quite young
as first lieutenant of the Stewart Grays,
a company formed in his neighborhood.
It wasnt long before he was a captain,
being a gallant and faithful officer.
Then he became a major, and then a
colonel. Later he was promoted to brig
adier general and took the command
that General John B. Gordon left when
promoted from that office to a higher
one. He was at nil times one of the most
gallant of the officers in charge of con
federate soldiers, and the old soldiers
know it full well.
A story is told that at the fighting
around Richmond, General Evans, who
was at the time a colonel, desired to
make a rush into the very front of the
enemies columns, and went to Color
Bearer Wright and asked him to give
him the flag of the regiment. This IVright
refused to do. declaring that he himself
would hold that flag until it was shot
from his hands, or he was shot to the
ground. Then Colonel Evans ordered
him to run to the enemies’ battery and
plant the flag, which Wright very gal
lantly did. When it was all over the
collnel called W right up and said:
“Well done, my boy, I want to take
you borne and zhow yon to my .wife."
General Evans was wounded five
times in the war and very seriously,
but never gave up. He was shot through
the body zeveraf times. One time tne
ball carried with it a paper of pins i»b.ch
he was carrying in his side pocket and
they remained in him for a long time,
much to the astonishment of the phy
sicians. He was a great warrior, and
all of his old soldiers love him very
much. He cannot be in Atlanta Me
morial Day. having accepted an invita
tion to make a speech at Elberton that
day.
DWARF AMERICANS.
Remains of a Race of Llliputlans Unearthed
In East Tennessee.
The Smithsonian Institution hns under
taken u peculiar work iu this locality,
says a Cuberland Gap correspondent of
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Those
people of the world who have paid
lengthy visits to that hilly country
known as East Tennessee have always
been impressed with the sublimity and
beatify of the mountains, 'the simplicity
and superstition of the inhabitants, and
the general air of sleepy mysteriousness
surrounding everything. Ask one of
these people where they would most
expect to find a race of dwarfs or giants
and the reply will be, “In East Ten
nessee.” And recent developments seem
to bear them out, for hi the last few
yanrs the remains of people less than
three feet in height have been discover
ed in tliis country.
On the etustern slope of one of the
peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains,
where the first rays of the morning
sun strike, is an ancient burying-ground;
and such another burying-place could not
be found, though the world be searched,
for not one grave is more than three
feet long. The tombs are two feet be
neath the surface, and are formed of
cement and Hat stones, and have defied
the ravages of time to cause them to
be destroyed. Most of them examined
contained a vase, a few beads and a
human skeleton, which was never more
than thirty-six inches long, and was
that of a full-grown person.
The natives have a beautiful legend
of the pIiKV, and say none were interred
here excepting Indian children, while
naturalists claim the skulls to have
reached their full growth.
But the most interesting account is
that of the red men who held that coun
try when first settled by whites. They
claim that when they came to that sec
tion of country it was peopled by a
race of small, fierce men. with red hair:
that these dwarfs waged a long and
bloody war with the Indians, but were
finally all killed; that this burying-ground
was used long before they came into
the country, and that those killed in
the war were never buried.
In some parts of the adjacent moun
tains, high up on the cliffs, are to be
seen rude drawings of combats between
fully grown men and a number of
dwarfs. On account of the superstitions
of the East Tennesseeans it is difficult
to reach this pygmy cemetery and al-,
most as much as life is worth to at
tempt to dig into the graves of the
"Leetle People.”
In the mountainous district of one
of the Southern States, in a bend of
one of the great rivers, is situated a
natural fort, known to the surrounding
inhabitants as “Indian Fort.” Sur
rounded on three sides by perpendicular
cliffs, at the Ixittom of which flows the
river, wide and deep, the only way of
approach is by ascending a stiff declivity
from the open side, near the summit
of Which are still to be seen traces of
an ancient embankment, almost obliter
ated by time. Within the space in
closed by the river and embankment
have been found a great many stone and
flint implements of Indian warfare and
a few bronze axes. There are also a
number of tombs formed of large flat
stones containing nothing but dust and
dirt at the present. In the time of the
early settlers the native Indians had
a tradition of a great battle haying
been fought at this place years previous
to their own time, in which an entire
race was exterminated.
The legend is: “The exterminated
race, who were called ‘Worshippers of
the Sun,’ had been gradually driven
southward, from the far north, by the
Indians. Before reaching the “Great
River” (the Ohio) they separated into
two divisions, one going to the south
west. the other going directly south.
What became of the first part is not
told in the legend. .
After innumerable battles the fleeing
race made a final stand at Ind’an
Fort.” and after a siege of many months
during which time the besieged sub
sisted on provisions previously gathered,
they were conquered, and every man.
woman and child was killed. The legend
snvs these people came from tiie vicinity
of the Great Lakes, and the few bronze
implements discovered .seem to give
some truth to that part of the story.
It is supposed that these people were
the ancestors of the Mexican AztMe.s,
and that that portion who escaped when
rhe tribe div’ded wandered toward the
southwest and entered Mexico from the
north At the time of the conquest of
Mexico by Cortez the Aztecs claimed
that they came from the north, and sun
worship was the national religion.
To investigate these relies of a de
n'lrtod race the Smithsonian officials
have sent Professor Snow and a corps
of assistants to the scene. They are
making their headquarters in this city.
They will probably be engaged on this
work for a month.
