The legislative committee which recently investigated the mine also found that the prisoners were housed in ex- tremely unsanitary quarters, and that the food supplied was not fit for hu- man consumption.

An Otd Landmarks at EEgin-A
Tree Wtth a. HtstOrv.

An old black jack tree, with a
history, that stands on the side
OF the road at EIgin has just been
honored by two thoughtful and
appreciative citizens of the COM
munity, Messrs. r. b. Truesdale
and A. X. Bailey. Tuesday even-
ing these gentlemen thoroughly
whitewashed the body of the an
cient oak and it now presents a
neat and attractive appearance.
For many years before the War
Between the States, to this tree
was attached what was known as
the paper box" or mail recepta
Gle OF several prominent citizens
OF the vicjnity-men who have
long since passed away, among
them being James r. Hunter,
father Of Sheriff j. Z. Hunter,
James Nj. Shaver, grandfather of
Mr. Frank Shaver, of this place,
and j. f. Bailey, father of Mr..
A. X. Bailey.
In those days mail facilities
| We're very meagre, and persons
for miles distant had to ride to
some point on the old stage line
to Camden in order to get their
papers or other mail, which would
be deposited by the stage driver
IN the paper boxes" along the
road
The tree in ques ton, having for
many years been used to support
the paper box" of the Hunters,
Shavers and Baileys and others,
has tor generations been called

to this day Is SO designated. On
account of it's associations, we are
told that Sheriff Hunter never
passes the tree without lifting
his hat. The trees age is moi
known, put it has probably beer
standing for 100 years or more
An old lady in the community
who is8 0 years of age, says thai
il was "good-sized" tree wher
she was q child.
