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

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.

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.
