Trenton is all aglow over the
grert boom that is about to strike
her, as unexpectedly as a thunder
bolt from a clear sky. Some of
our citizens are so elated that they
cannot sleep. A atrong company
of capitalists have made extensive
purchases of mineral lands’ and
are going to establish various eu
prises of mammoth proportions.
Self importance is a good thing
but a man with a few thousand
dollars iu his pocket needn’t think
the town will grow and prosper,
unles ho takes s:>mo of that money
and invest it in enterprises that
will give somebody work The
way to build Trenton up is to take

MACoKjGa., July 23. —The Hon.
A. A. Huff, member of the legis
lature from Bibb, was formerly e
popular conductoi on the Macon
ind Western road, now known as
Central, between Macon and At
lanta,
hven st this date, when travel
ing on tha cars, the old habit of
waling through the train formed
in too days of eonduotorsftip, still
clings to him, and obedient, to this
impulse on lust Friday afternoon,
when returning from the legisla
ture in Atlanta to Macon, he arose
■from nis neat and took a walk
through tuu train and by chatue
saw
A MISERABLE BPECTABT.E
that will be of great value to him
in Ins fight against the present
convict lease, and which will bo
graphically presented in hie char
acteristic style when he speaks on
the convict bill.
The spectacle was this. He
saw in one of the front cars band
of convicts on rout* from the
Chattanooche brick yard to some
other camp, borne of them- were
miserable looking objects, About
the aeck of one was tightly welded
a chaiu that had been therg La
had made a break for liberty
HANDS BADLY BURNED.
He noticed howoui of them held
his hands while munching at a
piece of something to eat. Tho
turn ra wen* drawn up in a con
tracted manner, and he app..areu
to be suffering.
Mr. Huff inquired what wu" the
matter and found tuat the palm
ni the convict’s hand wan a mass
of blisters, and because of these
he could not open ais fingers or
aana.
In response to the inquiry of
Mr. iluti, ‘he convict paid ‘hat his
bancs ware burnt while forced to
handle hot bricku at the Chatta
hoochae brick
haul thu convict, roferring-fco his
hand: “That’s nothing. Go back
yonder and look at tho hands of
same of those other fellows”
Mr. Huff did as suggested, and
ho found the hands of several
of tho convicts in an even worse
burnt condition than the one to
whom he had first spoken.
Their hands are practically ruin
ed for life.
Mr Huff was also infored that
at times convicts at the Chatta
hoochee brick yard while at work
have been made to walk on planks
‘s> hot that dually they would burst
into llames.
TWENTY-FIVE LASHES.
He was also informed that, whom
business at the brick yard became
very heavy and there was not sufi
cien 1 men force, the female con
vietc have been made to work, aud
once when oue of the woman re
fused to handle the hot bricks she
was whipped by a guard twenty
five lashes on her nakenness, in the
presence of the male convicts.
HORRIBLE GRUB,
Mr Huff’s attention was called
to a soap box in the corner of the
car and was bade to look in it. He
did so and there saw eight or nine
small pieces of cold corn pone and
a piece of hard, cold fat meat,
smaller than the half of one’s hand
Ho was told that this was supper
of the convicts, and similar food
had been served as their dinner.
Most miserable grub, indeed
Mr. Huff took a piece of the
bread and meat and will us« it as
an illustration before Governor
Gordon and the legislature.
Mr. Huff was also informed that
when these convicts, were about to
leave camp, they were barefooted
and were to be sent off shueles.-,
| when some one suggested that it.
would not do to sond them through
th*. country barefoot‘"i and. shoes
Were then g.ver L•••'.•
A fu-hiY* legislature, hot Ttdb-
ert I.ewij, of Hancock, was on the
train, amt Mr. iiu'.'fcvm'luo‘.-ed him
to sen the sight, and when Mr.
Hull presents the matter to the
Governor or the legislature, he will
have this legislator as an eve wit
ness, also the guard in charge of
the convict.*:, alid possibly the con
victs themselves vyiii be present
with their burnt hands,
.ur Hull will try and get Gov
ernor Gordon to cancel the convict
lease with the Chattahoochee Brick
Company.
The memGr from Bibb is pre
pared to shell the woods.
Mr. KtiiT left Macon for Atlanta
this morning, and said he would
call upon Governor Gordon at once
and present tic* matter to him If
the Governor does not act, Mr.
Huff will then open fire iu the leg
islature
t3a.m ae - “The - burnt hands in--
