Huff, member of the legisluture from Bibh, was formerly a popular conductor on the Macon and Western road, now krow astheCentral,between Macon and Atlanta, Lven at this late date, when traveling on the cars, the old habit of walking through the train, forms ed in the days of his conductorship, still clings to him, and obedient to this impulse, on last Friday after noon when returning from the leg islature in Atlanta to Macon, he arose from his seat and took a walk through the train and by chance saw | A MISERABLE SPECTALE that will be of great value to him in his fizht against the present con vict lease, and which will be graphi cally presented in his characteristic style when he speaks on his convict hill. The said spectacle was this: He saw in one of the front cars a bangd of consiets en route from the Chat talioochee brick yard to the camps of the Uoluuibus fouthern railroad. Some ot them were miseras ble looking objects. Ahout the neck of one was tightly welded a chain that had been there for eight months because the conviet had made a break for liberty. _ TIANDS BADLY DURNED, He nouced Low one of them Leld his hands while munching at a piece of something t> eat. 'The fingers were drawn up in a con tracted manuer, and he appeared to be suffering. | Mr. Huff inquiced what was the matter and foand that the palm of the convict’s hand was a mass of blisters, aud because ot these he could not open bis fingers or hand. Inresponse to the icquiry of Mr. Hud, the convict said that his hand was burat while {forced to bLandle hot bricks at the Chattulioochee brizk yard. Said the cenviet, referrinz to his hand: “That's nothing. Go.back youder and look atthe haunds of gome of those other feliows.” Mr., Huff did as supgested, and be found ‘tie handsof eeveral of the convicis in an even worse burnt condition than the one to whom he had first snoken Their hands are practicaliy ruin- ! ed for lite. Mr Huff wasalsoinformed that at imes couvicts at the Chattahoochee brick-yard, while at work, have been made to walk on planksso bot that final'y they burst into flarm cs. TWENTY FIVE LASHES, He was also informed that when business at the brick yard became very heavy,and thére was not suffiv cient men force, the female con viets have been made to work,and once when one of the women re fused to herndle the hot brick she was whipped by a guaid I\"ol\[;,'—* five lashes on her nakclnesz, 1 the presence of the male convicts. | HORRIBLE GRUB. ‘ Mr. Huff’s attention was called to ; a box in one corner of the car and wae bade to Jook in it. He did so and there saw cight or nine small piece ot cold corn pone and a piece of hard, cold fat mest, smaller than the half ofone’s hand. He was ‘ told that this was the supper of the conviets, and simalar ‘ood had been | served at theiv dinner. Moast mis- ’ erable grub, indeed. Mr. Haff took a piece of the bread and meat and will use it as illustra~ tion before Govornor Gordon and in the legislature. } Mr. Huff was also informel that when these convicts were about to leave camp, they were baretooted and were to be sent off shoeless, when some nne suggested that it would not do to send them through the county barefooted, and shoes were then given them. I A fellow legislator, Hon. Robert Lewis, of Hancock, was on the | train, Mr. Huff carried him to sce} the sight, and when Mr. Huff pre-, sents the matter to the governor,or | the legislature, he will have this{ legislator asen_eye wimezhwl DAWSON, GA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 3lst., 1889. I the guard in charge of the conviets | themselves will be present with !thoir burnt hands, { Mr. Huff will try and get Gove i ernor (?mrdou to cancel the convict tease with the Cl attahoochee Brick % company. | The member from Bibb is pre { pared toshell the woods. ! Mr. Huff said he would ecall fupon Governor Gordon at once ‘ and present the matter to him. If { the govirnor does not act, Mr. | Huft will then open fire in the leg ! islature. Said he: ““The burnt hands is in famous, the welded chain for cight months about the neck is inhuman, the lushes on the negro woman in i the manner they were adminis— tered was barbarous. and the miser i able grub of a piece of cold bread ' and cold tat meat is damnable ” What We Hont. The smaller the town the fewer ~modern comforts and convenicnces the citizens enjoy, consequently it ‘should be the aim of the people to induce other people to locate among us. Kvery energy should be bent and every opportunity of fered to obtain a rapid influx of population. The great advantages to be derived fromen incicased population are menifold. A large town would naturally becoms a splendid home market for surs plus farm products, thus increasing the number of small farmers. It is plain to usall that the smeller the farms and the greater the work put upon them. the more products will be the result, and it is clear that small industries pay the best. It would pay our farmersto sell part of their land to thrifty tarmers put their poor land in mel ong, plunis,pears,peaches and geass, Cut down the acreaye, increase the tertilily, lop cff extrancous lilor, cultivate with improved imples ments, raise hogs, horses, cows and chickens. They would then socn be on the road t¢ wealth and happi ness, Lot us all unite to increase our poptlaticn in the town and county. Debe. Young man, avoid debt.

Bondrick & THE DEAD JURIST. l Lr Interesting Sketch of the Life of Judge & Jno, 7, Clarke. | Thesad taking oft of Judge Jno. T. Clarke caused deep and genuine sorrow all over the state. Many have been the tributes paid him by all classes, and in several places the bar Las met and passed reso lutions bearing testimony to his worth as a man and junist, < His remaius were carried to Lumpkin and put to rest in the family cemetery there. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE, Judge Jno. T Clarke was born at Eatonton, Putnam county, Ga., in January, 1834, About three years aflter his bigth hig parents removed to Lumpkin, Btewart county, where he was raised. His father was a promis nent lawyerand citizen, and at one time a man of large means. The son was given a thorough educa~ tion, ¢raduating at Mercer in 1853 with the highest henor. He et once began the practice of law, } with his uncle, Judge Marshall J. | Wellbern, who was o member of congress and cne of the most wides ly known men in the country. On May 24, 1855, Jobn T. Clarke married ‘Miss Laura T, Fort,a grand neice of Dr. Tom linson Fort, of Milledgeville. For some years he had not been in the active pursuit of his profess sion, butin 1856 he agiin began the practice of law.with his father, in Lumpkin, mceting with great suceess. " He wasordained a wminister of the Baptist charch in 1858, snd was immediately called to the pas torate of the Second Baptist church of Atlenta. Inthis field his la ‘bos had a lurge Larvest, but after lthree years he was compelled to religquish, because -of a' serious yzl;rmn trouble, induced by econ stant speakine, In 1863, being then only 29 years ‘of aze, he was appointed judge of the suparior court ot the Pataula cireuit, vice Judze Pers kins, deceased. He was with one - exception, the youngest man who everheld such a position in the state. At the follow'az session of the legislature he was unanis mously confirmed for the full | term ! At the end of that term, the l made of election having changed, | he was chiosen by the people for a second term. } In 1868, General Meade, then commandant of this post, issued an order forbidding the courts to allow anybody to serve upon any jury uunless he could first make ats fidavit that lie was a regularly reg-l istered voter under the reconstrucs tion act. This rule excluded a large portion of the best citizensi of the state, who could not take the iren-clad oath. ‘ The generzl alzo ordered that the ‘ "jBry<box and the list be revised by throwing out all unregistered voters, and then that the Jist shoald } be made up indiscriminately from | the lists of registered voters, Judge Clarke openly refused to enforce both of these provisions of the order. He selected jurors in all sorts of cases, civil and crimiual,! according to the laws of Georgia | and forbade the county authori ties to meddle with the jury boxes. Gereral Meade issned an order! that any civil officer who failed or | refused to execute his order should , be tried by a wilitery commission i and pupished at digeretion. In defiance of all this Judge C]arke’ persevered in his course and held | his eourts strictly in accord with | the Georgia law and Meade, by! special order in April, 1868, res moved the judge from cffice. Judze Augustus Reese, of Madison shared the same fate. These were the only judges in Georgia who were expelled from office in that way. In 1869 Judge Clarke was chos« en by the state demoeratic conven tion as elector at large, with Gen.l John B. Gordon, tor Seymour and Blair. Later he was elected to' tue state senate from the eleventh’ district, for the term ot 187879, and took & very prominent part| in the lagislative work, He was for; anumber of years a member of the stute executive committee, and nas always been a statuch democerat, but as a judge he did not take an active part in politics, From 1878 to the latter part of 1882 he devoted himself to his pro~ tession, at which time he waa elected by the legislature to the judgeshipof the Pataula circuit. He wasre-elected at the last n cet~ ing of the legislature without mak, ing the slighest effort, or even bes ing present in Atlanta prior to the election, Several yearsago he was vested with thedegree of LL. D. by Mercer university, ar.d was also urged to accept the protessorship of ancient linguages, but declined. ~ Judge Clarge was, physically, a model—rather below the average hieight, but muscular and active. He never lost a day from ill health while on the beuch. Judge Clarke was frchuently chosen to scrve on the supreme beneh in disqualified cases, He was a brother of Judge Mar shalld. Clarke, Mrs. E. E. Raw son, the late Mre. Sidoey Root, Mrs. J. P. Logan and Miss Clarke of Atlanta He leaves a wi‘e and one son, Welborn Clarke, who is now crdinary of Stewart county and a promisent and influential citizen o Bt et DEBAUCHED KiS DAUGHTER. ‘ Revo'ting Crime of Mr. Jarvis of Sumter County. A special from Americus says: Fucts have come to light in the past few Jays developing a case of moral depravity in thig county that has but few parallels in the whole history of crime. William Juarvig, a farmer, lives about six miles from Americus. He is hardeworking, temperate, a mems Ler of the church, and reliable in all his financial dealings. He has a wife and several children. Amon- his children is a daughter about twenty years old. About two weeks ago she left home. 'The lepert became curs reat amongz the neighbors that she hiad fled from the brutal as sault of a futher who had foreed her to his .icentious desires. As these reports were traced to the girl and Ler mother, the gentle men of the neighborhood neld a meeting last Saturday afternoon to discuss the matter. The deliberations of the meet ing resultcd ip the appointment of a commiittee to visit the girl, who i 3 with an uncle in Terrell county, and obtain from her the true {acts of the casé. The corimittee has not reported, but reliable gentlemen from his veighborhood, who are in Aweri cus to-day, report that Jurvis had fled the country, It he is captured and the charges against him fully sustaived, the indignation of the people would be hard to restrain, The Wa'ker, Towa, News says: “Qur old Iriend.
