EVS OF NEW CASTLE
NINETY coNvlcrs EAT MELONS
Remarkable Scene Witnessed I'm n
Georgia Field.

Remarkable scene Wttnesseo IN n
Georgia Field.
There were 90 happy negroes wear
ing the stripes of convicts in Georgia
one day recently.
All their happiness was caused be-
cause Deputy Sheriff G. p. Trimble has
big heart, and also big watermelon
patch.
Mr.. Trimble's watermelon patch is
situated in East Point, and for some
days a squad of 90 negro convicts has
been working on the road that runs by
the forbidden fruit. For days the song
that the poor devils would sing to the
rattling of their chains was something
about the inferiority of all the fruits
of the earth compared TO the water
melon, ending with the plaintive
chorus:
"Oh, gimme, oh, gimme, really wish
you would, dat watermelon groin on
de vine."
Tho other day their song was an
swered. 1t was raining and they could
not work, and Mr.. Trimble ordered
Capt. Duncan, who has charge of them,
to turn them in and let them eat their
fill. Capt. Duncan knew better than to
turn so hungry convicts right into a
field of melons, for he wanted to save
the vines, and he knew that they would
eat vines and all, so no selected several
of the TRUSTEES and sent them up to
the field with a big two-horse wagon.
Those TRUSTEES knew what they had to
do, and if one wagon ever had q load
of melons that one did. When it rolled
into camp there was kind of lull that
comes before q storm, only a moment
for the melon-hungry negroes to grasp
the situation, and then the massacre
began.
There were no knives to cut them up
with. There were no dainty slices like
one sees in a boarding house. 1t was
/ like q swarm of locusts turned loose in
grain field. There was one long swish
and q swush, blur Of red, universal
grunt of satisfaction and the wagon
was on the way back to the field for
more.
Oliver Twist wasn't in It when it
came to calling for more with these
| hungry convicts. When the wagon
came back with 200 or 800 more the
melons that had gone before had been
forgotten and the second onslaught be-
gan. 1t was more stubborn and lit
tie longer, but the victory was just as
complete.
Old negroes that had not tasted a bit
of the red fruit since last year would
grab melon, give it one affectionate
hug, and then Ret us draw a curtain
over the scene. No mortal man could
tell where the negro began and the
melon left off. The rinds went the
same way that the meat did, and there
were enough seed swallowed to give
the whole United States appendicitis
II properly distributed.
When the last reports were received
the wagon was still making trips tC
the patch, and Mr.. Trimble's melons
were disappearing at the rate of abou
90 a minute.
In spite of the recent investigation
of the convicts, there are at least 81
of them in the state whose condition
has been very much improved already
and there were 90 of them who went t.
sleep swearing that BOSS Trimble h
was a good white man." and thinking
that being a convict was not so baC
after all.-Atlanta Journal.

CORPORAL THOMAS CASE.
circumstances Under Which a Marine
Left His Post i'm Europe.

Cfrcumstances Under Which q Marine
Left His Post i'm Europe.
Corporal e. w. Thomas of the Marine
Corps was tried by court-martial at the
navy yard yesterday on a charge of deser-
ton, and the findings have been sent to the
Secretary of the Navy for consideration.
The case is a peculiar one i'm many re-
spects. Thomas has served in the corps for
seven years, and has always borne an ex-
cellent reputation, being regarded as one
of the most exemplary men in the service.
He has never been reported for any fault
until the. present time. He was one of the
guard assigned to the Bancroft, and in go
ing across to Europe was violently ssl-
sick. When the Bancroft reached Smyrna
Thomas received a number of letters from
relatives and friends i'm Baltimore, telling
him of the dangerous Illness of his brother,
to whom he was greatly attached. In his
weak physical condition, owing to his ILL
ness, it Is thought the news preyed upon
him until he became Irresponsible One
day Thomas. without leave or giving any
notice of his intention to any one, boarded
a steamer at Smyrna and returned to this
country. AS soon as he reached America
he came 10 Washington and surrendered
himself at the navy yard. where he was
tried, as stated, for desertion. Owing to
the circumstances and his. splendid record
1t is not thought that Thomas will be very
severely dealt with.
