Editors Early County News, Blakelv,
Ga.-DEAR EDITORS: AS it is generally
known that | am in the pen, take this
method of informing all that | am at the
above stated place running a stationery
engine for gentleman, of Atlanta,
named Gress
l am sentenced for two wears or en-
bezzling money which l collected while
sheriff OF Miller county. Under the law
and the evidence produced at the trial.
the jury could not have done otherwise
than find me guilty, and I thank them
for asking mercy for me, and | thank
his Honor, Judge Bower, for mercy
shown, but God knows that was robbed
of the money, and did not appropriate any
OF it to my own use. But suffice it to say
that l am here for twenty-five month :,
unless his excellency, the Governor, sees
fit to release me sooner
l hope that all my relatives and friends
among men and Masons will bear in
mind that while l get plenty of meat
and bread to eat, l am deprived of all
the luxuries and a great many of what
seem to be necessaries of life. Being a
poor man, and my wife having four chill
dren to care for, think that my relatives
and friends will all be willing to donate
something to my comfort. l am allowed
to use anything to eat or Wear except
pants and shirts, they must show the
stripes. Any one who will send me any,
thing, either cash. clothes, rations,-
cooked or aw-fruit, tobacco or any,
thing to make pleasure during my lonely
and unjust stay here, can do so either by
mail or express, and l will ever appreci-
ate the same.
The work l am doing is easy enough
and the fare is as good as could be ex-
pected in a convict's camp. But COM
pared to a white mans fare at home,
with his wife and children, this seems
terribly rough.
TO any one desiring any information
in regard to a Georgia convict's life
the Boss permitting will gladly give
it in writing. Always enclose stamp
for reply, as pay day never comes with
me here. Very respectfully,
Yours in grief

From the Early County News:
For expressing 50 freely in our last
week issue our high appreciation of
some good qualities in "Hans" Mont
gomery, the recently made Miller conn
ty penitentiary convict, we have re-
ceived some friendly, private, vet pun
gent criticisms. We take them as thew
are meant-kindly.
We have only this to say: that if in
the catalogue of what few things we have
to be proud of, there is one which is
paramount to all Others in affording us
especial consolation, it is to feel that we

tunate of all classes, no matter who or
IN what condition, by their turning to us.

pathy, succor or support. And while

refuse to extend to any and all whatever
aid we might that could possibly save.

have willing shoulder to place at any
time to the muddiest cart wheel of the
lowest negro whom we may chance to
find in distress on the public highway,
but not finger to help draw the trium-
plant chariot of earth's proudest poten-
tate.
We publish below Hans Montgomery

better his condition and, at the same
time Diet II worse men than he from the
commission of greater crimes than his.

One Drink of "Hen Tap. /"

Judge Maddox tells good story at
any time, but the following is unusually
apt. Discussing the many colored and
dlscordant elements at ST. Louis, where
the Third party and its platform was
born he says:
Il am reminded of the negro's story
about his partner in crime being drunk.
When testifying, he said his partner, on
the direct examination, had taken but
| one drink. On the cross he admitted
that his partner was timber drunk. When
asked how it was possible for that big
negro to be drunk on one drink, he ex-
planned by saying that it was true that he
only took one drink, but that drink was
out of the jug of hell tap. He was asked
to explain what he meant by hell tap, and
he said it was common for the barkeep-
ers to keepa jug in which they poured
all the remnants of liquor or brandy they
had on hand, and when person would
take drink and leave any it did no t
matter whether it was gin, rum, whisky,
brandy, alchohol, or whateveri it might be
it went into the same jug, and was called
hell tap, and that one drink from that
jug would lay out the oldest topper or
stoutest man. l now ask you if every
factiOnism, or by whatever tme they
may be called-except Democrats did
not go in to the ST. Louis jug, and won't
you agree with me that if they can pos
sibly give this nation one drink out of
that jug, that the nation will be knocked
as timber as the niger. What is there
in it for the South? Absolutely nothing
They do not speak of the protective tar
if or any sort of tariff except in a round
about way, and then only in whisper.
The reasons are obvious: they must have
a revenue to carry odt their designs, and
the taxes of this country will be quad
rupled instead of lightened. There are
those planks of the platform that is
enough to damn it in the eyes of South
ern people. To suit Powderly's gang,
they want to buy all the railroads, tele-
graph lines, and all get a government
job. A fine old scheme. And in order
to carry the soldier vote in the north and
northwest they have a separate plank in
their platform to give them a back-salary
grab of about two million dollars, mas
much as they don't get'anything now,
but strange to say they tell us in this part
of the moral vineyard that this is only
resolution, yet in all the papers of the
north and northwest that l have noticed,
it is published as part of the platform.
