DYING MAN TO CONVICT CAMP
TWO PRISONERS SUPPORTED A
THIRD ONE BETWEEN THEM.
Lee County Prisoner, in the Last
Stages of Consumption, Was
Hustled OFF to Penitentlary.

The Macon Telegraph prints the
story of the arrival in Atlanta of
convict from Lee county, en- route to a
convict camp, with the hand of death
almost upon him.
According to the Telegra 2h's dis
patch guard employed at the convict
camps of the Palmer Brick Company,
located near the city limits, reached
Atlanta Thursday night from Lee
county with three negro convctS, each
sentenced to serve term of eight
years in the penitentiary. One Of them,
Charley McLendon, was a physical
wreck, suffering with consumption,
and an another disease, the two
rendering him unfit for any kind Of
/ work.
The negro presented a pltiable pict-
ure as he was dragged from car at
the terminal station by the other con-
| victS and carried out into the rain and
mud, where he was required to remain
! until q street car came along to take
| him to the camps. The man was I'M
able to stand, and was prevented from
falling into the mud by the two
| Shackled COnvicts, one on each side of
him, holding him by the arms. McLen-
don had a blanket wrapped about his
person. the ends of which were in the
mud.
1t appears that the man has been
confined in Lee county jail for some
time. The guard CLAIMS that he pro-
tested against accepting McLendOn on
account Of his physical condition, and
wanted to leave him behind, but The
authorities of Lee county would not
allow him to take the two able bodied
men and leave the sick one. They said
he must either take the three or none
at all. The guard says that the Official
who turned McLendOn over to him
said that they wanted to get rid of him
and that he would not last through the
trip.
The matter was reported to Secre-
tary Yancey of the prison commission,
who, upon making an investigation,
found out that McLendOn should have
been sent to the state farm. Secretary
Yancey says that he had been furnish
ed no information by authorities OF Lee
county as to the condition of McLen-
don, and that in the absence OF such
information he sent guard after the
tnree men, with instructions to take
them to the Palmer Brick Company.
The guard, either having no discretion
IN the matUer, or else not knowing how
to use it, carried the sick man to At
lanta. and now an effort Will be made
by the department to get McLendOn to
the state farm, if he lives long enough
to be carried there.

trial Solicitor General Laing, and
nearly all of the grand jury and the
trial jury With these strong inHu-
ences operating in behalf of the con-
demned man there is scarcely doubt
that he will be saved from the gallows.
Johnson, it is remembered, was con-
victed of killing Eliza Banks while
stealing her chickens. A strong case
was made out against him at the trial,
though, it is said, there a possibility
that the old woman, who lived some
time after she was shot, was mistaken
as to the identity of her slayer.

the fertilizer sales this season will ex-
coed those of last year, there is no
DENYING the fact that the movements
so far are tremendous. Hundreds of
wagons are busy every day from early
morning until late at night hauling the
highly scented stuff to the farms, and
many thousands of tons of it are be-

Although guano is being manufact-
ured by two local establishments, and
is also being shipped here by the car
loads every day, the demand was so
heavy day or two last week that it
could not be supplied.
