NO NEWSPAPER MEN
IN CONVICT CAMP.
Sotne interesting statistics are
contained in the annual report of
the prison commission of Georgia
which was issued from the pr^ss
Monday morning, The reeom n
datioos of the commission which
appear in the report have already
been published.
One of the most interesting ta¬
bles of figures is the one showing
the previous occupations of th
convicts prior to their conviction.
Nearly every profession is repre¬
setited except the newspaper pr.
fession. There are doctors.
yers, preachers, and the like, but
no newspaper men. The only
thing ‘hat sounds anything li! e
newspaper is a news-butcher wh >
is confined at oim ot th^ camps.
There are seven preachers, in
the walls of the Georgia peniten¬
tiary. The report does not say
whether they are white or black,
but the presumption is that they
are of the latter color.
Fulton county leads in the num
ber ot convicts, having all told
sentenced from this county 309
Chatham county comes next with
149 and Bibb county third with
Ho. Union county is the only
county m the’state having no
victs at all. There are numerous
counties with only one convict,
but l nion stands alone in not
having a single criminal in the
walls of the penitentiary.
There are 1,111 married con¬
victs and 1,304 unmarried ones.
There are 1,185 who can read and
write. 304 who can only read and
926 who are wholly illiterate.

penitentiary are 2,017 serving
their second term are 242, serving

Cheer up. The world is taking

troubles you cannot tell the police

It may be your real disease is

Your life is too self centered. You
imagine your tribulations are

sorry for yourself—the meanest

Clmer up. Your ills are large

your sorrows, you should clear
your brows, set your teeth and
make the best of it.

Cheer up. Why, man alive! In

Fayette Mo. in the fall, He too
was converted through the in 11 u

studying . the Bible and preparing
himself to proclaim the Gospel of
.Jesus Christ to his own people in
his home land. What a blessed
thought that we can have part in
this great work of spreading the
gospel by contributing of our

unsearchable riches of Christ,

as they presented themselves have
passed back from us forever. Let’s !
and try to see wherein !
we have left undone things we
should have done and things
did that we
we should not have done
and may we all in the next gi

try to improve on the past!
