I'ojo>'s: 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 of an outrege Saturday. As the ngeroes wouici leave the train at the stations they would fire at the cars. At Willocoche a young white man named William Corbett, was shot in the stomache by the drunken brute*. He is seriously hurt. The Athens Banner says the Lexington terminal, out from Athens, is sure to be built. Crops in Hall county never look ed finer than they do now. nor were farmers ever so near up width their work. The Talapoosa glass works brougth $5,989 75 at public sale Saturday. The works will bo put in active operation right away. Sheep-shearing is the order of tho day just now in Striven coun ty, and the wool clipping bid fair to be one of average yield. The mayor of Albany bas put the railroads on notice that they must build a now passenger depot, or provide a safer approach to the one now in use. A Savannah citton factor, when asked about south Georgia and Florida cotton, said that bin ad vices were not so rosy. The stands am not as good as at this time last year. A negro baby was murdered and thrown into the bushes near Fust Point the latter pai t of last week and the corpes was eaten bv hogs. There is no clue to the guilty per son. Another aensationalpreacheris at work in Georgia—at Milledgevilld. Ho is a Carolinian, Rev. Thomas Leitch. Ilis pulpit language is described as violent and far from refined. Noah L.

The difficulty was th® result of a private quarrel, and it is stated, had nothing political in it. The affair is much regret ted by both participants. They were rivals for senatorial honors at the last election. The Johnson county alliance has passed this lesolution: “That we urge upon our representatives to use their combined efforts, togeth er with all honorable means, in the passage of the Olive bill and the Brady guano bill, which will be up at the detrimental to the agri cultural interest of Georgia.’, James D. Fish. ex-President of. the notorious Marine Bank, was Saturday released from prison. Whatever degree of criminally attached to him, it may be admit ted that in the loss of his fortune and the disgrace of his conviction and imprisonment ne has suffered severely for his crime. At Berlin, in the Sam ian cor.- vention, the language used by di plomacy for the first time is Eng lish, the result of Americans com ing into European politics.

Dinouwlng tlie A4vlwil)lliiy of Hold ing jui Election on tlui Siock S>:iw 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 ter business. He went to town Sat urday. I see the Ordinary has appoin ted T. C. Holmes, D. C. Patterson ami Hugh Wallen, Jr., road com missioners in the 974th district. That js all right boys. Take hold; you will never learn any younger- Give us good roads. Citizk>”. 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.
