h Prologue.?It was a beautiful day in Jum
Y One of those days "so rare," hs some poe! Iiu
aptly put it, when a young woman, Origin
lnteillgont anil remarkably good-iooking
was sitting he/ore a typewriter, iu the ofRe
of a certalu tirui in .Savannah, On., lndulgm
in day dreams.
Woman-like, she wa? n lover of the beau
tiful In life, and incidentally a certain youu
man. Possessing the common weakness i:
her sex, she whs passionately rouu or orn?
meuts and had become strangely fasclnnte<
with the allurlug glitter of diamonds. Will
all tier soul she yarned for their possession
But what of that? she was only one amon
the many. At least in this particular cas
the desire overcame the girl's sense of right
leading her to secure the iatefulgems throut:]
unlawful methods.
Despite the tact that this girl was reftuei
and well educated, she was convicted as i
common felon, and instead of being rescuei
by the CnrlsMau women of the suite, she wa
consigned to the state prison to becom
tainted beyond redemption by contact will
the very lowest and coarsest element.
What a travesty on our boasted Christlai
Civilization!
Despite the lesson taught by the Nazaren
Of old, we hurled stones at a defeuseles
woman !
Think of it, Pharisees, you who thank thi
Lord vou are oeLter than this Door. mistru;de(
girl.
Think of taking a delicate, refined worn at
from an atmosphere oi culture and ease, an(
consigning her into the degradation of criiu
lnal association, to wield a hoe In the torrU
rays of a southern sun.
Can you stand aside and see a beautiful
womau treated like a hardened critnlna
without raising a" storm of protest? 1 hopi

ACT 1.
The20th day of June, 1903 dawned, beautl
lolly, yet oppressively close and sultry.
Among the prisoners at the state iarrn foi
i the deteutlon of lawbreakers who awoke frou
a night of restless slumber and horrid dreami
was a frail little womau, decidedly xood-loo*
Ing, despite .the pale, worn expression whlcli
told of hard work aud exposure. To a casua
observer thiB expression on her beautiful fact
did notconceal the Impress which relinemeu
and education had stumped there iu othei
days.
With a weary sigh she arose from an hum
ble cot agd stretched her tired limbs. All th<
Drecedlue dav she had wielded u heavy hot
In the hot tields and her nature was revolt'
I inc against the Imposition.
"Come, burry up there ! Mamie," soundei
a harsh voice as she made a feeble efl'ort u
don her simple attire. "This is do place loi
lazy, educated ladle*. Don't take time to pu
on your diamonds, but come a-humplng."
Tbe Ignorant brute wiio made these coarsi
remarks laughed loud and long at his vulval
attempt at wit. All tbe old tire of pride lu
tbe broken heart ol Mamie Decris was fanned
into flame by such treatment.
"I shall not no lulo lhat Held today," sh<
said between her set teeth, "to bejerred at b>
common brutes and to die with brain lever.'
tolng straight to the matron she told be]
' it she could not stand tbe work In the field
.d asked to be placed In the hospital at
stewardess. Tbe request was ret used. Tht
girl was accused ot being impudent ami
talking back to the matron. She was ordered
to tbe field with tbe others.
"Never!" was her decisive reply, ber blood,
fairly boiling with Indignation at the inhuman
treatment.
This beautiful girl, for coutendlng lor wbal
Sbe thought was right, was laid across a bed
ber garments drawn light around hersbapelv
form, and was severely beaten with a leatnei
strap by a brute of a man.
Pathetic indeed were the moaning sobs and
pltl/ul pleading ol this poor outraged girl, uu
der this cruel treatment.
fl Shame! Shame on the state of Georgia
I Shame on every decent man who does noi
I raise a protest against ibis outrage and disgrace
to our commonwealth ! The good namt
of our state demands that whoever was guilt}
of this atrocity be fired out and the youn^
woman be pardoned at once.
In antebellum times the best element in
soutbern society was shocked at the intiuman
flogging of'slaves by a few brutal own
ere. How much more so ought we to be outraged
in this enlightened day when a delicate,
reflned white woman is put beueath the
lash, a victim to brutal anger? shame
Shame ! Shame !?John S. Campbell in tin
Augusta Chronicle.
Governor Terrell, upon learning of the
t? atment recorded above, said "I regard the
? alpplng of Miss DeCris us a brutal thing
< and! want the man who whipped her dls
charged. Such a thiug as whipping a woman
line that is outrageous, and I shall not havt
the name of the state disgraced with any
more such occurrences."
In our opinion a simple discbarge without
punishment for the crime would be a travesty
upoa justice.

The "sunimim; up' by .Mr. W. l?. Calhoun,
in lu:lmll of Abbeville's claim as the lust
(i meeting plae" of the Confederate cabinet,
e correctly put. is hh follows:
e 1. That on the date named all of tlie memhers
ol the cabinet, and Mr. Davis, were at
r, Abbeville, except -Mr. Trenholm and Altory
ney General Davis, the absence of both ol
\/ whom has heen explained.
p I. It is shown by upright nnd honorable
nw.rt n?l?a \\yitru nrtiunnt i?! 1)ip rrwmf Inv thnf
I ""-'"I """ " " ' ~
r a cabinet meeting was held at Abbeville in
r the Hurt house, naming the very room In
I which it was hold.
c :t That to formation of tho surrender ol
i General Lee reached Mr. Davla at Abbeville,
> or just before he reached there, and t hat the
1 information caused the cabinet and Mr.
t Davis to act an ihey did and the soldiers to
? refuse to fight longer, resulting Is the disso1
lutlon of the cabinet of the Confederacy and
j the (Itsbautiing of the trcio pa.
* 4. That only about 150 soldiers wore with
I Mr. Davis at Washington, and thoso preeurnI
ably not as a guard, but oo their way home,
i the troops; having been disbanded at Abbes
ville.
5. That Mr. Calhoun himself admits the
I meeting at Abbeville.
r 6. That matters under discussion at the
J meetiug are given with the results, someL
llilng Washington has never shown. The
main subject of discussion, after learning
i thatl.ee had surrendered was the contlnu
I a nee of the war In accordance with tho Ideas
ol Mr. Davis or to dissolve the Confederate.
7. Thai Mr. Davis desired to continue the
> war with the troops west of the Mlssisssppi,
but that 41s cabinet was unanimously opposed
to It. and refused to agree with him.
8. That during the discussion the officer In
command appeared at the meeting and notified
Mr. Davis and the cabinet that his men
. u .w-hi.ai- f/JiAur \Tr Duviu fnrth?r. nnr
wiiuiu UCUUCI IU1IUTI ,
" light longer.
J. That Mr. Davis was overcome by the ac2
Hon ot his cabinet members and the refusal
s of his guard to longer remain with him, and
had to be led from the room.
10. That by a vote, or agreement, of the
cabinet the Confederacy whh declaired at an
' end and the soldiers composing the guard
disbanded.
1 ,* 11. That, after the decision had bff?u reach>
ed and made, on the advice of Mr. T. C. Perrin,
the great seal of state of the Confederacy
was defaced and thrown away, which was
and Is strong proof, if not conclusive proof,
that Mr. Davis and his cabinet recognized
the fact that the Confederacy had ended and
I that there would be no further use for It.
I 12. That facts given above were obtained
from Mr. Hurt, Mr. Thoraaa C. Perrin, Judge
! Wardlaw and others who were present, and
1 of their own personal koowl-dge knew them
to be true, Mr. \V. H. Parker being a great
' assistance in gathering these facts.
' 12. Tnat Abuevlile's claims are not based on
1 hearsay testimony or circumstantial evlI
dence, but on the distinct testimony of men
' of undisputed Integrity, who saw the meet'
lug.
! 14. That her claims are not. based on a few
1 -Isolated orders, signed by Mr. Davis person>
ally and one or two of his cabinet.
15. That Mr. Keagan, while positively slut
' Ing that there wu? no rortuai meeting ai
' Washington, says that If there wan one at
i Abbeville It had escaped bis memory. The
tact* Indicate that It lmd e?caped his memory.
1 1C. As proof that the Confederacy had
ended at Abbeville, the facts show that General
BreekenrMge sat up nearly all night at
1 Abbeville Issuing discharges or other papers
(o the escort. Mr. Callau will please note
1 that fact.
17. That the Confederacy, having ended at
Abbeville, Messrs. Benjamin and Memminger
lelt Mr. Davis at or near Abbeville, and
Messrs. Breekenriilge and Mallory at ty'ashington,
Ga., to go to t heir homes.
Il Mr. Heagan does uot recall a meeting at
Abbeville it will be the fault of hi, memory
and uothing more.
It Is Immaterial as to the time Mr. Davis
left Abbeville, where he took break last, how
1 lie crossed the Savannah river or at what
hour he reached Washington, but I am
afraid that Mr. Callarf is as far oft' the track
on this immaterial Issue aH he Is oil the material
.issues. To keep the record straight
1 will say that from all 1 know about the
matter Just mentioned, that Mr. Parker Is
? a M t- f'.ill.ni )tuu fulloii inlrt
riglll., HI1U UIUL .<11. ...
home very queer errors.
Ju iny personal letter to Mr. Callan I point-,
ed out his error about the pontoon bridge
, across the Savannah river and showed when
it was built aad fcr what purpose, and that
' Mr. Davisdid not build it. as be claimed, to
transport liInitio*If, bis wagons and his 150
soldiers. Then Mr. Callan says Mr. I>avis
took break tast alter he crossed the river, and
several miles from it, according to Mr.- Parker's
statement, he claimed. Mr. I'arker
t uever made any such statement. He said
that, after passing bis mother's farm, which
. is about nine miles irotu Abbeville, Mr. Da
vis took breakfast at Mr. Drennan's several
miles beyoud Calhoun Mills, which Is six or
. *even milts beyond where his mother lived
> and about five or six miles ou this side of tho
Savannah river, iu South Carolina, and near
the town of Mount Carmel. He makes Mr.
I'arker say that Drenuau lived in Wilkes
couutv, Ga., and aboui ten miles from where
he really lived. Mr. Davis real'v took breadlast
at Mr. Drentina's, between Calhoun Mills
and Mt. Carmel, and about fourteen miles
from Abbeville. Those matters are totally
immaterial to the Issue and I correct them to
show that if Mr. Callan can make such
errors as those he Is liable to make others lu
material matters.
There is no doubt about the fact that Mr.
Clulau can find among the Confederate records
many orders issued by Mr. Davis, General
Brecken ridge, and others at Abbeville.
They have uo bearing on the issues, and I do
not propose to look them up, considering it a
waste of time.
Though It bus escaped the memory of Mr.
iieuuan. Abbeville proves a cabinet meeting
by direct testimony. Washington simply
Infers Ibatthere was one there, with the exception
ol What Mrs. Davis says, and she was
not there. Her testimony, therefore, only
hearsay nud an inlerence. Khe has nevor
stated, even, that Mr. Davis said there was a
meeting there. This ends my discussion In
this matter, uuless It be reopened by the reply
of Mr. Iteagan to my last letter.
