TIIE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, MAY 30,1884. THE CEORCIA PENITENTIARY. Capt. John W. Holm# os Principal Keopor. I'.'l'. vn TtUyiui'lmuilMessenger: I have noticed for come weeks past severe com- moils upon Mr. Nelms' behavior towards a newspaper editor who found occasion to comment upon the principal keeper's con duct as a public officer. He isthesame person, I taka it, who figured in such an unhappy role before the legislature of 1879, and when I read this fresh distance of his asMimacy and blaster, I decided to recall to your readers some of the evidence brought forth in the year mentioned. For this work I disclaim all personal dit- 1 ke to Mr. Nelms, as a citizen, but we have x cached a place in Georgia where we are to be bossed, It appears, not only by certain political headlights, but by all of their small-sized nnstrappers in office. This arrogance has become well-nigh intolera ble. It is true we find these bosses in unlim ited control of all the valuable revenues of the State. When 8enator Brown was a Radical this control was secured, and he knew how to manage the business, but it •will be exceedingly painful to the good people of Georgia to find out that the re linquishment of their revenues and their diversion into the pockets of their masters, not only entails a perpetual loss in money hut a perpetual insult to them and to their descendants. Mr. Nelms is a sample of the crowd that blow and bluster whenever anybody ques tions the divine right of their owners. Every “Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart” be longing to the pack open up whenever any comment is made upon their malfeasance or failure in office. If the State is powerless to rid herself of such people, we have still the poor priv | ilege left ns of reminding each other of the tyranny we endure and of reviewing the character of our tyrants. * ‘ surprising, therefore, that Mr. roarlike a bull of Barkan when It Is not Nelms can roar—.. . . his patron is backing him. Nothing else rescues the principal Seeper from official decapitation. His insolence would be re buked under any other circum stances. So long as Senator Brown needs an official agent to pick out the best convicts for hit ser vice, so long will Mr. Nelms feel able to tarnish his T 'address” to all who are out raged by his official conduct. He will blow, brag and bully anybody so long as our ex ecutives are more considerate of Senator Brown's friendship and influence than they are of wbat is justly due the tax-pay ers of the State. It has been said that the late Governor Stephens had agreed to make a change before be was elected, but alas! be failed to do so after be begun to look at the complications about him. Gov ernor McDaniel seems to ignore the whole business, for some reason. J. \V. Nelms was sworn on August 13, 1879. and was examined by Representative Garrard: Question—“When were you appointed principal keener?” Answer—"Fifteenth day of January, 1877. I took charge the eighteenth day." and eonveyel them Q.—“ Were yon to share your salary with anyone; Mso, who?’ K A.—“It was not compulsory to share it with anyone, but I did » it” Q.—“Who with?” A,—“Cot Bob Alston.” Q.—"What amount did yon give him?” A.—“I gave him hall my salary.” Q.—“How long did that continue?” A.—'"I paid him for eighteen months.” U.—"What services did he perform for this salary ?" A.—“1 don’t think be ever did anything in the world." Q.—" Yon did it voluntarily ?” A.—“Yes, sir; he bald no kind of claim on me." * • A.—“What convicts were turned over under the old lease?” A.—"Col. Tom Alexander's.” Q.—"To whom did you deliver them?” A.—' To the Marietta and North Geor gia Railroad.” Q.—'“Did they pay you twelve dollars a head?" A.—"I did not charga It to them. I made them a present of it.” Q.—"Did you not say If Lockett A Simp son did not pajryou twelve dollar* a bead you would carry them to them in patten- Nelms clsimed a contract with Lockett. Brown and Alexander to pay twelve dol lars a head. Lockett diu not admit the claim at first, and Governor llrown under stood they were to pay something, hut raid nothing about ta’elve dollars a head, and Brown told Simpson Nelms was not to charge for those left in camp# and not moved. Governor Brown also said he had agreed to pay Nelms something for pris oners brought to his camp, but he thought it a hardship. and if Nelms asked his ad vice, he would advise against it. Simpson told Colquitt Nelms said he Intended to charge twelve dollars a head on all con victs. no matter wbat distance they were moved. Governor Colquitt replied It was a private contract between Alexander and Nelms, and he had nothing to do with It. Simpson then went with Judge Hopkins ■gain to the Governor to protest, and got the same answer. Judge Hopkins insisted it was the Governor’s official duty to in terfere. but he refused. Simpson was com pelled to pav Nelms’ demand, and took bis receipt for $1,512.00. Nelms defied them, declared they should pay it or he would take up all their conviett, tarry them to TALK WITH CENERAl JUSAL EARLY.

You see, only ono clerk or so knows anything of your letters. No one has an idea where you live or anything else. But then, postal clerks and letter carriers learn quick ly. Traveling salesmen are becoming heavy patromzers of the boxes since they have become cheap. The excuse for these gentry, is that they receive letters they do not wish to be sent home. So the envelopes are dropped into their boxes, and when they return from their tours they find bum dies of letters and no ono to ask ques tions that might bother them to an swer." MAKING A LEAD PENCIL. Its Cost nml Its Profit.—A Pencil of Pre historic Interest. “What does it cost to make a lead pencil?” said the manufacturer. “First let me tell you how we make a pencil. See this fine black powder? That is graphite. It costs 23 cents a pound. T|gs white substance is German clay. It comes across the ocean as ballast in sailing vessels, and all it costs us is freight. We mix this clay and this powder together and grind them in a mill, allowing moisture to be added during the process, until the two are thoroughly assimilated and are reduced to a paste about the consist ency of putty. “This paste we press into these dies, each one of which is the Bize of a pencil lead, except in length. There are four leads in one of tkese. After they are f iressed we cut them into the proper engtli and bake them in an oven kept at very high heat. There we have the lead made. Its hardness is regulated by the greater or less amount of clay we mix with the graphite—the more clay we pat in the harder the lead. “The cedar we use comes principally from the swamps of Florida, and is ob- not come write.

The wood is delivered to us in blocks sawed to pencil lengths, some thick, to receive the lead, and others thin, for the piece that is glued over the lead. The blocks are sawed for four pencils each.

But there is a bar rier to these revelations. The postal laws strictly provide that a carrier must never tell of what lie sees, peat what he hears nor make public in auy manner the address upon a letter. When notified to deliver letters only to the person to whom it is addressed it is enjoined upon him to remember this rule, especially as re gards members of the same fjtuily. tt'ell do I remember when I was a car rier a certain maiden on Broad street was receiving letters from a father and son. Whether one knew that the other was writing to the girl, I do not know, but this I saw several times: When] site received a note from the old gentle man she was very deliberate In her movements, hut w'hen I handed her one from the son she was out of the house inn jiffy. ■ "One ol the most annoying things to the carriers is the impudence of ‘mash ers.’ I have had these fellows inter cept mo and offer $5 or $10 if I would tell who such a lady was, and whetlier she were married or not. I remember one lady in particular, who came here from a neigh Wing citvand stopped at tho residence of a million aire. She was a magnificent woman. A man wonld hardly pass her without turning around to take a second look. The mashers nearly went crazy over her, and one met me at nearly every street corner on my route with some question regarding her. I came near getting into half a dozen tights over lu-r./ud was glad when she went home.! I But the devices of‘married men and women who are holding clandestine c*nvs[>ondence are ingenious. All such mri'si or otaer tarost nn<l inn* troubles thvr made them a small kottlo fall of tbls unouaM rrmedy, the material for which thavt«4>> to look for in the ferests aw* * * * .* „apfittias roauding theirhomcB, and a »mtr*abiv ner outer short time they were relieved by nseaal never thought of it any mo.® a Hit was again required. However, things ha»Ranged ioMow boring tool, fitted to a comm™ lathe, somedo/ens ol small disks being — ' the result. Each disk then goes through three or four or sometimes a half-dozea more operations at the hands of the men standing in a lino at one work bench, each having n lathe and a three- cornered file, sharpened to suit his work. The bony part is cut from the disk and the button shape given it while revolved by tho lathe against the sharp steel held in the workman’s liana, ,uge being used. Some of the buttons are grooved with a few lines on the face, and a few holes are punched in each, l’art oi the buttons are subjected to a mysterious coloring oi>cration in a revolving box, but the best grades are finished in tho natural colors. The potlslilng is mainly done by hand. Tho whole process is very qnick, and tho method has tho great advantage of being immediately adapted to any style of button desired, no change in machinery being required, but merely a fresh adjustment of flesh and blood. All size* of ordinary but tons nro turned out, as well as some “collar buttons,” though no fancy arti cles are made. The liglit-coiored mate rial la the most valuable. Fifty cents a pound is paid for tho rough shells, and the buttons are worth from ono to seven or eight cent* each. Tho store room contains ninny hnshels of these valuable little things, ready for the finishing touches, to fill orders. The use of pearl buttons lias been confined mainly to men's clothing for five or six years, bat the fashion te ss.li since . . v . ■onaht after and do not Ion* remain in obscuL tr.
