MUST PAY THE PENALTY- I’UESTON VALENTINE AGAIN SEN TENCED Augusta Chronicle: The law some times is slow in punishing crime, but iu this great and glorious country it comes sooner or later and the punish ment thou?h slow, is usually just, ad ministered under our law. 'J ho his tory of the murder of old man Vales in September, ’B4 is still fresh in tne minds of our people and need not be re-told. Preston Valentine was convicted of murder on May Btli, and the court was crowded at that, time with eager, curious crowds to see ,the noted criminal. Since then lie has remain ed confined in the felon’s cell, chain ed to the floor. His cane has been taken to the Supreme Court, and Judge Twiggs, the most successful criminal lawyer in the State, has done all that could be done for him. Yesterday, although notice had been given that he would bo sentenc ed, there were but few present to hear Judge Roney, for the last time, pass the death sentence. Preston heard Judge Roney’s talk and the .sentence almost without a quiver, when, at 10:30 yesterday, he was brought into Court, looking thinner and much bleached from almost a year's confinement. After a statement from Judge Twiggs who, without fee, had fought Valentine’s case with as much vim and determination as though he was receiving a large one. Valentine was told to stand up, and Judge Honey passed the death sentence on him, but in doing so called attention to the defence lie bad from able counsel Judge Roney then resentenced Valentine to be hanged between the . hours of 12 and 2, ou the 21st day of j January, 1887, and in some private i and convenient place in the court I yard or the jail. VALENTINE IN JAIL. Yesterday afternoon a reporter of the Chronicle received a telephone message that Valentine wished to see him. He repaired to the jail and was conducted to the fel in’s cell, where he , found Valentine, who was having let ters written to the pastors of the di!-, ferent colored Baptist churches in the city. “I Lave sent for you, Mr. Reporter,” he said, “because I have a confession that 1 wish to make to you. It is about the great injustice I did Chance Green ” “I wish to say,” said Valentine, “in regard to Chance, that Im is clearly exhoiiornted Ina. from any connection whatever in the muni r of old mau I Vales. And 1 knowing that my lust ! sentence has been passed and that I j must die, want, to clear my conscience I and say that although I cforo the grand jury 1 implicated Chance Green, he had nothing whatever to do with tin murder of old man Vales. “I have decided to make a confes sion, but I feel it my duty to make it to Judge Twiggs, who,without money, has done everything for me that could be done 1 find great consolation in the Old Testament” He referred to psalms 69 and then to 1 Corinthians, third chaptt r. He said Mr. Collins had been kinder to him since his first sentence than he thought it was possible for one to be to him, and he is truly grateful. “I have a great deal 1 would like you to sav for me, but Judge Twiggs has been so good and kind to me that I think it is due him that I make my confession to him If it were not for that, I would make it to Mr. Collins. My w ife and children come to see me every day, but it always makes me sad when I look at my innocent little ones who must suffer for rue THE GOVERNORS MAIL Atlanta Correspondent Mneor Telegraph : The daily until received at the executive ofliec is, of course, considerable, and it sometimes contains very remark able communications. The follow ing is an interesting specimen : Georgia, Banks County, November 24. —To Mr. John VV.

Give this receipt to the public at huge, and you will save the peoples’ Ilogs. And I want to give a receipt for a choked horse ; and that is this Hold the horse's head up as high as you can and rub hard down h s neck to his br<nst. It is as good a remedy for choke us lever tried, and for colic set some cotton rags ufiro and smoke at the nose will cure colic. I have tried several remedies for colic, and this is a safe remedy, the best I have known in my life, and I want to give a receipt for hendiice.

Mr. Reynolds has peculiar news about executive business, and as he seems so frank in expressing them there can be no great impropriety in giving them to the public. His last suggestion is a very bright one. THE SPURT OF WATER- WHICH ASTONISHED HOME KAHf.Y CITIZE- 8 OF BOCK DALE. Conyers Weekly: There is an artesian well —a genuine artesian well in this county. Not one eight inches in diameter bored with a heavy drill Terms, $1 A Vear In Advance. lifted I igh among the timbers of a massive derrick by a huge engine, but mi artesian well four feet it> diameter, dug with a pick uud spade and blasted with powder. This ie one among the curiosities of Rock dale The well to which we refer is on Dr. J F. Albert's place in Lorraine district It ie twenty-two feet deep, and was dug almost entirely through solid rock. Thia 1 well was dug in 1852, and iu perhaps the oldest artesian well in the state. I This is how it became au artesian well: One day while the diggers I were working away, almost despairing lof ever reaching water, they were drilling u hole in the rock preparatory to making n blast, when the drill was hit a heavy blow uud seut entirely through the rock, leaving a miodl hole one or two inches iu diameter. From this opening the w; ter ep >uted so rapidly ami with such force that the workmen were compelled to bare their tools ami climb for dear liio from the well. Higher aud higher the water rose till it reached the top and ran over, producing a stream of considerable size From this weh a never-varying stream has been running since 1853. To many thia tory of Rockdale’s artesian well may seem incredible, but it is nevertiieleaa true, and is substantisted by some of the oldest and best citizens of the county and by the well itself.
