TRENTON, GA., SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1889
GONE TO THE PEN.
CALLY BUSH GOES TO THE CAMP
AT GRAYSVILiLE.
Thera to Stay Until She Works Oat
Her Sentence or Pardoned Oat
by the Governor—She Goan for
Fifteen Years, Et Cetera.
Cally Bush has been carried to
the chain gang.
Her p >*t office address is Graye
vilie, Ga.
And she is the only white wq
mnn in the Georgia penitentiary.
It will bo remerhbered that she
was convicted at the last term of
Dade Superior court
o ma i lau..liter She was
the principal cause of Frost losing
his life and deserves her sentence.
The jury that was on her case was
composed of some of the beet men
in the county. For two nights and
one day the jury stood sleven in
favor of sending her up for life,
and one for for finding her guilty
of assault. If it had not been for
Cally Bush John Bvbran would not
now be under a sentence for life.
It is the opinion that both of
these culprits got off very light,
and th« y even though so. Their
attorneys made an application for
anew trial in dir it opposition
to their el ionts wishes.
Something must be wrong with
our frier.dot the Columbus Enquir
er-Sun to cause him to write such
stuff as the following:
There was recently one white
woman in the Georgia penitentia
ry, but the case appealed so strong
ly to executive clemency,and there
n-js such a strong petition in her
behalf that the governor pardoned
her out.
Our Atlanta eorrespe. dept, fobs '
1 us 1 hat principal KeeperTowtuSwas'
lamenting yesterday that another j
white woman had been sent him. 1
She is more girl than Avoma.ll in
years, being only seventeen and
was recently convicted in Dade
county of manslaughter and sen
tenced to fifteen years in the peni
tentiary. fc he has been sent to the
camp at Graysville.
This young white woman ought
not to be sent to n. camp of convict
uegroes, and it is not using too
stroug a term to sayt hat tiie system
which permits such a thing to be
done in Georgia is a disgrace. Some
better, more humane and decent
arrangement should be marl® for
such cases. The legislature ought
not to adjourn this summer without
enacting somo legislation on this
subject.
We have as much sympathy for
her sex a* any man but our sympa
thy will never cause us to champion
a lighter mode punishing criminals
of her strip e.
Her daily companions since she
ha* known right from wrong have
been negroes and the lowest down
class of white people.
During the progress of her trial
she was the most unconcerned per
son in the court house. She sat,
during the taking of the testimony
without wen a veil on and gazed
about the room as if she was only a
spectator, and some of the foulest
language that ever fell from human
lips was utter and she even did not
blush.
The only time that she ever ex
hibited any feeling at all was while
Judge Milner was sentencing her.
His lecture even brought tears to
the eyes of the spectators. She
even “talked” back at the judge.
On being carried back to jail one
of the inmates asked her what the
sentence was and her reply tvas:
“Fifteen years. Aint it a hell of a
long time.”
A neg.o excursion train from
Brunswick to A Ibany was the sence

Question —Hunkering After a
Buom —Items of liiteivsl,
Wiynvoon,Ga., May 14. —Think-
ing that your many readers might
be interested in the news ot this
place I will trv and give you some
of the dots.
In the first place we have been
discussing the propriety of estab
lishing tho stock law in the county.
Or in other words the r.o fence law,
and make good pastures for our
stock and turn out the balance of
tiie farm and have a lot to impound
all stock and ail trespassing hunt
ers.
Wo are trying to build a church
and school house at this place.
Vegetable farming is booming at
this place. Strawberries and on
ions are being shipped north and
south while the* prospect of ship
ping cabbage and tomatoes are in
keed flattering. Messrs. Lea and
Cravens seems to be the leaders in
that line while others can say “I
too ”
The present iron boom has
awakened up our citizens and they
seem to think that they can form
a syndicate and make Colonel Mitch
Pope’s headquarters around which
can be collected three thousand
acres of aafiue iron ore land as can
Ik; found in anv county, Pennsyl
vania not excepted. Then the
creek at Pope’s leads up to tlio N.
& C. railroad and it would ooid
very tittle to connect A. G. 8. and
X. 0. fosethcr and then we would
have the coal and the iron fields
Qbnuecled by two fine railroads.
KVhile this creek almost connects
'the two roads would furnish water
for any purpose as it gushes out at
the head almost a creek. An Mor
rison’s site why lavish nil of our
lays. Come honest muse and sing
974th district praise.
Yes, Mr. Editor, write up our
y
county’s many advantages and
show your patrons that you are do
ing all you can for them and then
if they don’t pa}’ you sue them and
collect the money or make them
take tlm homestead law. [W e are
not a millionaire, nor aro we a beg
gar. All we ask for is what is due
us. It will •be a dead failure to
write up this county for there is
not a man willing to pay and send
extra copies off and we are not
able to do so. —Ed],
Wheat is looking fine. Irish po
tatoes, they are beauties; garden
peas are coming in; apples are
rather a failure and peaches plenti
ful; oats are needing rain; clover
and the grasses are looking well.
The farmers are up with their
work.
Brother Houts lias been preach
ing at Haswell’s chapel. The broth
er is doing good work on the cir
cuit. A Sunday school has also
been organized at that place. May
they prosper. The managers are
m«n of energy and enterprise.
We are all in favor of the four
mile law and do hope our Legisla
tors will not forget our wants. We
are also in favor of better roads,
and would be glad for our Legisla
tor.! to increase our school funds,
we would be glad to have that sec
tion of our law’s amended so that it
night imbraco the whole month of
May to examine school teachers in
stead of one day, the time hereto
fore, is too short. It is robbing
the minor children of their pro
rata share of the public money.
Let them have fair play and a ma
chadamise road to travel.
Lea & Ford seem to hold the
south end of Wiidwood switch with
a mercantile grip, while the beauti
ful depot is still unoccupied, Some
of us have concluded to call their
place Leaaburg.
I see Thomas Tittle is bragging
of havingj corn knee high. Well.
Thomas, that is like some of our
snake stories. Spring of the year
is the time for snake stories ami
why not have a few corn yarns.
Lee Pope is having his farm put
under a lino fence. He also serins
to be tumbling (he cows on the
market in Chattanooga. Leo is a
good trader. Mitch is in the but

To Our Umly RceOore.
We have among our exchanges
to-day the sumptuous May number
of that handsome illustrated publi
cation for the ladies, the Paris
Fashion Journal and Art Dres
Maker, of New York and Cincin
nati.
In the ever-changing sphere of
fashion the Paris Fashion Journal
is undoubtedly the most superb,
the brightest and most entertain
ing illustrated monthly in the
world. Its descriptive fashion
articles arc contributed by the
foremost writers in this country.
Paris and Berlin, exclusively for
this journal, while its stories and
sketches are invariably bright and
entertaining.
No other magazine published
ermefl anywhere near giving so
varried an amount ofeharming read
ing matter for the price as this
popular Fashion Journal ata dollar
a year.
Its illustrations are varitable art
treasures, and it is, in everything
certainly the foremost publication
for the family.
We take pleasure in announcing
theconsutnution of arrangements
this month by which any of our
lady readers upon sending t«u
cents in postage to the publishers,
Messrs. A. B. Flesher and Co.,
250 Race Streat, Cincinnati, Ohio,
will receive a specimen copy ,of
the Paris Fashion Journal free.
New Hampshire was for many
years the only State which in its
Constitution excluded Catholics
from office, but times have changed
there. In 1881 there were six
Catholics in the house of Repre
sentatives; in 1883, nine; in 1885
ten; in 1887, ninteen, and this
year tnere are twenty-four most of
them bearing well-known Irish
names.
Stories now come from Panama
of the illegal arrest and imprison
ment of American citizens. It
may be confidently assumed that
Secretary Blaine will take the nec
essary stepts to investigate these
stories, and, if they should pr>ve
true, to assert the rights of this
Government.
