4 MITE GIRL M CHAINS.
Cafhe Bush Doomed to Fifteen Years in
the cbaingang-- only Seventeen
Ienrs DId

When Governor Gordon some
time ago pardoned the only white
woman in the Georgia penitentia-
ry, the act met with universal APP
provaI. The petition to his excel~
lency was overwhelmingly indoors
ed by all classes Of citizens.
CLEMENCY NEEDED AGAIN.
In the interest OF decency and
humanity, executive clemency will
now have to be asked again, unless
the legislature will take such &C.
ton for the punishment of such
criminals as will not consign them
to vile camp filled with brutal,
hardened negro convicts.
A II YEAR-OLD GIRL.
Principal Keeper Towers has res
ceived from Dade county Callie
Bush, a white girl only II years
Of age, who is under sentence of
fifteen years in the penitentiary.
She has been assigned to the
penitontiary at GraysyiIle camp,
and Is the only white woman at
this time in the Georgia penitenti>
airy.
Der CHARACTER AND CRIME.
This convict is woman OF bad
repute, and was in some way cons
cerned with a man with whom she
was intimate, in the murder OF an
other man But she is a young
woman and white, and it is inhu
mar and unutterably repulsiye t.
every sense of decency to doom
her to such 4 fate.

Shoemaker successfully performed
on himself one of the most difficult

knife removed the tumor, which
was almost as large as an egg.

BEAT WITH TRACE CHAINS.
Terrible Stale Of Affairs EeScr,ed in
Mitchell County.


M'tchsH County.
There lives in Mitchell county
and about nine miles from Ca
milla and about three miles from
Pelham station on the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad a
family of people by the name Of
Nix, who about a fortnight ago
we've visited by disguised band
of marauders, who entered the
house, took Mr.. Nix, his wife and
three daughters out in the yard
and proceeded to intiict upon them
one of the most merciless and
brutal beatings that was ever visi-
ted upon human beings. There
were two men at the house of MIR.
Nix that were also beaten nearly
to death. The men who visited Mr..
My, were not ARMED, yet they
fought maDfully until they we're
overpowered.
IN consequence of this high>han
ed outrage, the people in that
vicinity were terribly ex yited, and
there were many conjectures as
to the guilty parties. Suspicion
soon fell upon certain parties.
By some Encouragement on the
part OF the people, the White Caps
found out that some o. their mems
bers were suspected, and on last FIJI
day night they committed another
crime that would bring the blush
OF shame to the face of the widest
savage. One old gentleman, Mr..
Henry Butler, was called upon by
che same coward.y band of maraud,
ers, and after forcing open his
door, they took him into the ward
and with a piece Of iron trace
chain beat him until he was uncon>
scious. They then took an old
lady, who lives with Mr.. Butler,
and beat her into the same coud..
ton.
Mr.. Butler is very old man,
has great grandchildren aud served
through the late war. OLD ard
decrepid as he was it was no had
task to overpower and beat him
into the house and laid him on the
bed.
They next proceeded to lie
house of his son, a young man liy-
ing within few hundred
yards of him, aud with the same
instrument beat him.
Not yet satisfied this law'ess
band went to the house Of enc
Ann Adams who has been an
invalid for several months past, |
Jerked her violently out of her bed, |
dragged her into the yard, and
with the trace chains beat her un-
til she tainted. They then took a
girl who was stopping with this
last woman, and beat her almost
to death. Replacing their victims
upon the bed they departed telling
them that it they were still in the
country after the expiration Of
ten days, they would come
again aud hang them. fhey told
Mr.. Butlerand his son that they
were gong to beat them because
they had accused innocent men of !
the work.
The whole south ED of the
county is ip a state of terrible ex~
element. Several other citizens
OF that vicinity have been notified
to leave, and some of the timid |
anes are doing so. A few men with
more courage however, are wateh>
ing the home OF the threatened par
ties and are determined to de.
fend themselves.
Later news from the excited com.
munity is that some o! the parties to
this beast,y outrage have been
spotted and measures are being
taken to secure their arrest and con
viction but 1t is doubtful whether
the indignant population will al.
low the law to take its course.
