A Rather Severe Sentcnee.
Jackson News. •
The cases of Messrs. Samuel H.
Mays and J. Tom Stewart, of this
county, whom, it will be remembered,
were arrested and taken to Macon
some time since, on the charge of de¬
frauding the government, were dis¬
posed of before Judge Spier, of the
United States court, in Macon, on
Saturday last,
Mr. J. Tom Stewart, who plead
guilty to "the charge against him,
set forth by the government, was
sentenced to two months in the Ma¬
con jail, and a fine of $200 was im¬
posed upon him; while Mr. Mays,
whose case was repetition of Mr.
Stewart’s in every sense of the word,
and who also plead guilty to the
same charge and under the same cir¬
cumstances, was sentenced to serve a
year and one day in the Ohio peni¬
tentiary, and a fine of $200 was also
imposed upon him.
The cause of such difference in the
sentence, we learn, is due to the fact
that Mr. Stewart is an aged soldier,
woundedin service during the war
and having a large family of children
dependent upon him for support,
while Mr. Mays had been represented
to him as a desperado, with a super¬
lative education and small family.
Now, we do not wish to be under¬
stood as countenancing crime or dic¬
tating the duty of officers, but, in our
opinion, the sentence imposed upon
Mr. Mays was harsh and severe, ac¬
cording to the facts in the case.
While it was his misfortune to have
a small family and excellent educa¬
tion he’s compelled to serve a long
term in the penitentiary of a distant
state, to satisfy the morbid appetite
of a few government officials, whose
duty it should have been to visit his
still (it being registered) and gauge
the whisky at intervals sufficient to
prevent his being able to defrand the
government from the enormous
revenue eked from such a business.
We have no reason to doubt Mr.
Mays’ guilt, nor that of Mr. Stewart,
but if large families, and wounds re¬
ceived during the war, and illiterate
educations, are any excuse for crime,
whereby clemency should be extend¬
ed, this country is in a wicked
of preservation, subject to mob
and innumerable sufferings. One
two things is certain, either Mr,
Stewart’s sentence is not
enough, or Mr. Mays’ sentence is too
severe; for, here are two men,
ed on the same charge, committed
the same time and near the
iliii. ‘il iWiiii .ipflBr^-TT
the same county and tried before
same tribunal, both equally gnilty .5
one, on ac-
count of his si )r abilities and
misrepnvwntat ......., . .. i-'is sentenced to
serve part of the other’s term, the
sole reason being a lack of education
and a large family, on the part of his
confederate in crime.
On Wednesday a motion was made
before Judge Speer asking that the
place of Mr. Mays' confinement bo
changed to a more suitable climato
the necessity of which was urged by
three prominent physicians und every
officer of the county, but the motion
and petition was of.,no avail, as Mr,
Mays was j'esterday taken to the
Ohio penitentiary where he will serve
out the time allotted him by the
court
We presume the Judge before whom
the defendants appeared has a better
knowledge of the law than have we,
but where the justice in the santcnce
conferred upon Mr. Mays is secreted
it is liable to remain, as he has gone
to serve the term of an unrelenting
court, far from the hearth of his fam¬
ily and friends, who are doomed to
await a pardon or an expiration of
sentence.

An Atlanta Catechism.
Charlie Matthews, of Atlanta, was
once a Macon man. He told a re¬
porter a few days ago that he was
induced to locate in Atlanta by the
following catechism, which was exhi¬
bited to him by an Atlanta insur¬
ance agent:
>“Who made the world?”
“An Atlanta man.” ,
“Why did he make it?”
“For the general benefit and profit
of Atlanta.”
“When did he make it?”
“At a public . meeting held in the
basement of the Fulton county court
house.” 'j::;; 1 -'" .: .«
“Who presided over the meeting?”
“Henry W. Grady.”
Where did Noah’s ark land?”
“On the side of the Kimball
House.”
“What instruments did the inmates
of the ark bear when tbej marched
out after landing?”
“Horns, which they and their des¬
cendants have been tooting ever
since.”
“Was Moses ever in Atlanta?”
“Frequently, but he didn’t commit
any of the mistakes there charged
against him by Ingersoll.”
“Who was the wisest man?”
“A native of Atlanta.'Welsiiow a
member of the General Assembly.”
“Who was the strongest man?”
“E. C. Bruffey, who stopped a
pistol ball frith his little finger.”
“Where was the garden of Eden?”
“On the side of Ponce deLeon
Park.”
“If you were in a far country and
wanted to send a letter to the Presi¬
dent of the United States, how would
you direct it?”
“To Ben Harrison via, Atlanta.”
“Where do all good Aclantians go
when they die?”i
“To Grant’s park, with free tickets
to the Gress Zoo.”

If Love Were Life.
tf love were life and hearts more tender were;
No’growing old or dying would there be;
No eyes from too much weeping fail to see;
No more the brow be the interpreter
Of care beneath, nor soul a prisoner
Within a cell, but like a breath that's free,
Would spread itself through all eternity;
If km were life and hearts more tender were,
tt is not hard to understand god's plan,
Nor be submissive whe: 1 . submission's sweet;
A flower simply lives to bloom, and man
Should simply live to Live, or else defeat
The Master's v.i.l, which ho has made so clear.
That love enough would mate us angels here.
