Rome, Ga., Kovember 12.—Mattie
White, now in Floyd county jail, is
a new product of the moonshine re-
gion.
She seems to be a degenerate of
the worst type. Only about six
weeks ago she was pardoned out of
the county chaingang on the earnest
appeal of a number of benevolent
people, and now she is resting under
the charge of instigating the shoot-
ing of Will Mason, a young suburban
business man.
Last Friday night Mason was ac-
costed by an unknown negro on the
street as he was coming from his
place of business after supper. The
negro walked down the road with
him and asked him for some match-
es. Mason handed him the matobes,
when the negro walked on about
eight paces, wheeled'around, drew a
pistol and told Mason to throw up
his hands.
Before the young man could com-
ply the negro sent a bullet into his
breast just below the heart.
Bloodhounds were secured and
the assassin pursued for some di6-
she was eighteen years old was sent
to the chaingang.
Her mother set her an example of
depravity, and for a while the two
engaged in so much mischief that
the people of the community tried
to drive them out. The old woman
laughed at the conduct of Mattie
and made no secret of the fact that
she had encouraged her in her evil
ways.
The old woman became a raving
maniao as a result of her evil life
and Mattie was apprehended and
placed in jail on the charge of im-
moral conduct. She was a very pre-
possessing girl, and her youth and
seeming contrition appealed strongly
to public sympathy.
She was sentenced to the chain-
gang, however, for one year, and
the people rejoiced that they had
got rid of her for awhile at least. It
afterwards developed that she bad a
good time while in the chaingang.
She managed to lift up a plank in
the floor of the building and went
to a frolic in the neighborhood,
where she danced all night, and re-
turning, re-entered the cell where

chance remark by Mattie White
caused them to institute a search
for her. She said to one of her ac-
quaintances that Will Mason’s
j brother had appeared as a witness
against her and that the bullet was
intended tor him. She intended to
serve some of the rest of her ene-
mies th$ same way, she said.
A sheriff’s posse started out in
search of her, and after a long hunt,
the dogs struck a trail out in the
Lavender monntains. They followed
the trail until they brought the girl
to bay in a fence corner and she sur-
rendered.
She is a ccmely young woman,
about twenty years of age, and has
been a terror to the community
where she was reared since her
childhood.
Her father was a court bailiff for
many years, and Mattie was brought
game, but was detected, and when,
the superintendent asked her why
she did not remain outside when she
had made good her escape, she re-
plied that she had a good place to
sleep there.
For some time afterward she be
haved so well that when a petition
was circulated to secure her pardon
some of the best nden in the county
signed it. The ladies of Rome in-
terested themselves in her behalf, so
that the governor pardoned her be
fore the year had expired. She im-
mediately took up her abode in a
hut in a lonely locality among the
foothills of the Lavender mountains
and began a oareer of wickedness
that has only been temporally cut
short, unless the evidence against
hor proves conclusive.
For several weeks holdups have
been so frequent around the city
of Mason has developed the fact that
the same man who shot Mason was
engaged in several highway robber-
ies, as the description tallies exactly.
It has been found that he was a
young mulatto, and he has been
seen around Mattie White’s place on
several occasions. It is thought
that he is still hiding in the hills.
The officers are holding her for sate
keeping until he can be appre-
hended.
The girl has rosy cheeks and a
head of magnificent brown hair.
She would have been a beautiful
woman under proper training, but
her wild life has given her features
a brazen and hardened expression.
up in the wild country near the foot that some of the most peaceable an j
of the Lavender mountains amid the law abiding citizens have been com-
roughest and poorest surroundings.
When she was barely grown she be-
gan to go wrong, and by the time
polled to arm themselves when go-
ing abroad after nightfall. The in-
Xsomuvi Partisanship.
A writer in the Washington Star
discusses the question and offers the
following suggestions as remedial:
Now that the question of dismis-
sals for excessive partisanship is be-
ing discussed, I want to suggest a
permanent remedy for all such
troubles.
It is simply to so amend the civil
service law as to provide that when
persons accept an appointment in
the government service the ap-
pointees shall neither take part in
politics or vote at elections so long
as they retain their position in the
service.
At first sight this may strike one
as objectionable on the ground that
it interferes with the right of citi-
zenship; but in answer to that is the
fact that it is optional with all. If
anyone is willing to give up his
right to participate in politics and
elections for the sake of a perma-
nent position in the service of the
government, surely others can have
no ground for objection.'
Such persons would simply occupy
the same position that citizens do
who leave the states to reside per-
manently in the District of Colum-
bia, under the present conditions
existing here. One of the principal
arguments in favor of. the adoption
of the civil service law when It was
proposed was to prevent the undue
influence in politics of those holding
government positions, and their
neglect of their offioial duties. This
remedy would completely prevent
vestigation following the shooting both of those evils, and if there was
any foroe or truth m the above'
reasons, then there ia the same now.. |
Besides, what sense is there in the*
clerks spending the time and miner
in going home to vote? If, as is*
claimed, the appointments are sub-
stantially equal between the two
political parties, the votes of the one
set of clerks simply offset those of
the other set or party, and, there-
fore, can not change or affect tho
result.
It happens one time in a thousand
that a single vote, or a very few
votes, decide the eleotion of a mem-
ber, and in such cases the votes of
clerks may affeot the result; but,
taken as a whole, their yote is so in-
finitesimal as to praotioally be of no
account.
Then axain, the practice of going
home to vote works a hardship on
those who reside in the distant
states. Clerks in the near by states
can goat a small.expense, but those
residing in the distant states can-
not, and consequently many of
these, especially those having famil-
ies to support, feel that they can
not afford it, and therefore do not
go, and hence the praotioe operates
unequally in the different states.
Hundreds of applications were made
to the political clubs and the con-
gressional committees during the
recent canvass by employes for as-
sistance in going home to vote, be-
cause, as they said, they were r.ot
able to pay the expense. The pro-
posed amendment would work a re-
lief to all such, and equally so to
those who were able to go. In tho
British civil service, from which
ours was substantially copied, it i&
a well settled rule that those hold-
ing positions in the service shall not
in any manner participate in poli-
tics, and the department of justice
of the United States adopted sub-
stantially that position m the recent
campaign.
Why not, then, amend the law as
above suggested, and put an end at
once to all the troubles arising from
the present practice?
It strikes me that it would be a
good thing for all concerned, and
would work hardship to no one.
