Selling of Girls
Still Prevails In
Parts of China
Nanking, Sept. 19.—That the sell¬
ing of, children, and especially of
girls is still prevalent in China away
from the foreignized centers is shown
by an episode that occurred a few
days ago at the American church
mission here. v
A Chinese came to the mission and
related that he, his wife and child, en
route from Hankow to their home in
Nanking were stranded at an inn
on account of the wife’s illness.
They had been there, he said, about
two weeks and he was entirely out
of funds. He owed the innkeeper $6
and his only recourse was to sell his
little son. He begged / the mission
people to buy him.
Investigation appeared to show
that the tale was true; that they
were strangers in the place and were
entirely destitute. The missionaries
had the woman brought to their hos¬
pital, where she quickly responded
to proper treatment; and two days
later the little family was sent on
its way with money enough to see
them through to Nanking.
The -aftermath was the same in a
sense as might happen in any coun¬
try. The mission was besieged with
K worthy cases.” It was remarkable
say the mission people, what a large
number of people found themselves
forced to sell their children, and it
was notable that a majority of those
offered were girls.

Some Early History
(By J. A. Darsey)
. ■ On Saturday, September 10, 1882,
an awful Equinoctial storm struck
Griffin, doing considerable damage.
The gale shook the strongest house
and blew down all the Chinaberry
trees in the city. Four of the largest
in front of the Nelms house fell at
about 4 o’clock Sunday morning,
narrowly missing killing two police¬
men. About one-third of the roof
of the brick warehouse was taken off.
The shutters and skylight of Deane’s
photograph gallery were blown in. A
large column on the piazza of the
Female college was blown down. The
bodies of dead birds literally strewed
the ground, one negro picking up a
sack full of them.
Colonel Logan Dies.
Col. James H. Logan died Sep¬
tember 12 at his residence. He was
stricken with paralysis about two
years ago. He was bom in Clarke
county and learned the printer’s
trade in the office of th. Watchman.
He moved to Griffin in 1848 and was
associated with Judge Murray in the
publication of the Whig. Afterwards
he became one of the proprietors of
the Empire State. At the close of
the war he was one of the owners
of the Griffin Star and in 1871 was
associated with Hunt & Mangham in
the publication of The Middle Georg¬
ian. Colonel Logan was Griffin’s first
telegraph operator and if we are not
mistaken was its first express agent.
At one time he was clerk of the
Inferior and Superior courts of the
county and was clerk and treasurer
of the city of Griffin also. He was
postmaster for four years and a
member of the Methodist church.
“Col. H. B. White died at his resi¬
dence September 13, 1882. He was
born in Albermarle county, Va., Oc¬
tober 28, 1820. He located here in
1869, moving from Dougherty county,
Ga. He was a member of the Bap¬
tist church.
H The Griffith Marble and Granite
Works commenced to erect buildings
September 22, 1882, on the west side
of Hill street diagonally across from
the depot.
W. H. Hornes was tax collector
in 1882.
Calvin S. Westmoreland was bur¬
ied at the family burying ground five
miles west of Griffin, October 3, 1882.
He was a commissioner of Spalding
county four years. He was a dele¬
gate to the constitutional convention
in 1877 from this county. He was
near kinsman of Drs. Willis and J.
G. Westmoreland, of Atlanta. He
was a member of the Christian
church. Crittendon is gone; Ransom
has passed away; Logan is gone, and
now Westmoreland. The old land¬
marks are swiftly passing away.
H Dr. N. B. Drewry was elected
rep¬
resentative over W. E. H. Searcy in
the election of October 4, 1882.
R. W. Stowe, an old citizen of
Griffin, died suddenly Sunday night,
October 8, 1882.
“Major W. P. Drumright, a former
citizen of Griffin, died at Montezuma,
Ga., October 16, 1882. He was one
of the original founders of the Grif¬
fin Banking company. He was a
stockholder at the time of his death.
This institution was formerly called
The Jones-Drumright company.
“Mr. Jordan’s map of Spalding
county will be completed by the
die of November, 1882.
“Rev. J. O. A. Clark, D.D..L.L.D., is
in town for a few days (October 25,
1882).
“There are now over 12,000 in¬
habitants in Spalding county.
Judge Aiken Dies.
“Judge John H. Aiken died on Fri¬
day, October 20, 1882. He was in his
82nd year and had represented the
county in the legislature more than
once. He was born in Greene county
in 1801. He was married to Miss
Hickey L. Harris in 1824. He moved
to Pike county in 1826.
