BLIND DREDGER'S STORY
OF CRUELTY AND WRONG
Suddenly Loses Eyesight and De
clares He Was Beaten, Starved
and Abandoned.

BALTIMORE, December 2. Almost
blind, bruised and battered, weak from
hunger and terrified by recent loss OF
sight, Thomas B. Wheatley, thirty-seven
years old, of 1911 East Baltimore street
CROPPED his way down the gangplank OF
the steamer Joppa of the Maryland
Delaware and Virginia railway this
morning and told tale of brutality and
suffering when taken to the Southern po-
lice station.
Stricken blind shortly after he shipped
on an outward-bound bugeye Monday,
Wheatley, according to his story. was
beaten into insensibility, thrown into the
hold of the vessel and almost starved.
He was released yesterday, and Will
probably be sent to Bayview Hospital.
Suddenly Stricken Blind.
Wheatley persists in the statement that
he drank nothing and that he turned
in with the rest of the crew about
o'clock Tuesday morning, shortly
the crew was called from their bertns
at o'clock Wheatley rose from his
couch to find himself unable to see.
Crying out in his terror and cropping
his way TO deck. he found himself un-
able to distinguish anything but the
bIackness that descended over his eyes.
I'll see if you can see," the captain
is alleged to have said, and the suffer-
ing man was placed upon the roof of
the cabin, where the heavy boom of the
mainsail swung dangerously near at
every shift of the wind. The boom
crashed down on Wheatley's hea =, knock
ing his hat off, and the captain, seeing
that he was of no use in their work.
ordered him put into the hold
From Tuesday morning until last
night, according to Wheatley. he lay in
the ill-smelling hold of the bugeye. pro-
yided with only the food that the six

feature as well as the careful and
capable editorial work throughout
the book.
The most important article is
"The Mississippi River as a Com

Riley. Most of the volume is taken
up with accounts of reconstruction

also II short article on ~Jackson's

which was formerly the artery con.

Good Road Work.

Mr., Irving Msuldin, Superintendent
of county cOnvicts. has now in bis charge
more than twenty husky road hands,
since the Circuit court sent in its quota
and Mayor Horton subscribed a few
blind tigers. With so large a force
some fine service to the roads of the
county will be rendered.
The work Mr.. Mauldin has accom-
plished in the last year has been thor
ough and valuable and speaks for itself.
Roads which a few wears ago were prac.
tlcalIy impossible at times in winter,
and bad nine months in theyear now af-
ford easy travel at all times. The 'evees
he has built will be a lasting monument
to him and those who originated the
plan OF working the county convicts on
the public roads. The most important
levee work has been done on the road
through Bogue Chitto swamp, Wood
ward creek swamp, Noxubee river
$ Wamp near Allgoods Mill, and three
quarters Of a mile Of levee on the Shu
qualak and Binville road. In the matte,
Of grading, good work has been done or
the Macon and RrooksvilIe road. on the
Brooksville and Bigbee Valley road just
beyond C%liftonvllle, and the hill al
Archers Lane.
A casual view of the appropriations
made by the supervisors for the main
Cenance of the convicts might lead one
to think that the cost was greater tlal
the work accomplished justifes, but af-
ter the fines collected are credited
against the cost and the value of thu
work taken into consideration this road
work seems a good business proposition
for the county.
Mr.. Mauldin while getting full work
from the convicts, is humane in his
treatmen Of them, and no complaint,
that scare are heard. He is assist.

NoXUBEE'S FINANCES.

The financial condition of the
county now is probably the best
in its history. The personal prop
erty roll has just been completed
and shows a total valuation of
81. 667, 664. 90 against 4 $50, 100
for 1910, or gain of 1916, 874. 90.
1856 mules are assessed at $40,
522.O {. a fraction under $50 90 a
piece. In some counties the mules
are assessed at an average valua-
ton of less than $50. Noxubee's
valuation is very high, and shows
that this county suffers from the
lack of uniform taxation through
out the state. $3.50 horses are
assessed at 1851. 467. 90, 2440
male dogs and 403 females are as
sessed, the former at $1.00 and
the latter at $500; this will
amount to some $4,000. 90 revenue.
There are assessed white polls $50
black 1925; about half the blacks
seem to have escaped assessment
for poll tax.
The best is yet to come. Usually
about this time of the year the
county has to anticipate its tax
collections and borrow money.
The Treasurer's report for Sept,
shows more than $40, 600. 90 in
the treasury, and the tax levy for
the county for the coming year is
reduced 31-2 mills. a large reduc-
ton, the largest in the history of
the county. This is done too in
the face of the fact that much
money has been spent in improv
ing our roads and in tick eradica-
ton and for the County High
School. The running expenses
of the county for the last year
have been about $1,000 a month
less than the average, due large
ly to the economy Of the Super
visors and the fact that no fresh
ct have destroyed bridges, and
to the fact that the expenses of
the Circuit Court have been great
ly reduced. T,
There is much cause for county
pride in the showing Noxubee
county makes for the current :
year. The land roll will be COM ;
pleted next week and is expected
to show a substantial gain.
