North and. even of other ewes la
tie South, ire liable lb get‘the’ Im
pression that Georgians are greater
savages than such stories as Unci*
Tom’s Cabin In likely" to tonka one
believe. There may be some troth In
the charges that are brought. The
convict leave system Is not a very
flne Institution. The eonvlot camps
are not plaoes of luriiry and pleas
ure such as one might wish to spend
Its vacation In.
They are not supposed to be very
attractive placet. It' whs' never In
tended that a criminal Who slips
about In the dark, robbing nod steal
ing, fighting. eUootlng And' 4 violating
nil manner of laws should find ton
convict camp n pined, little T Setter
fhna home. Its food mom wholssome
and Its routine of wdrk mtfclT easier.
It wt* Intended that It should be “a
place of punishment. ' Men who com
mit crlmhs and go there are expected
to find toe life such a lard fine that
they will not only shun the place In
future, but warn others' against It."
It may be all of tola and yet not be
place where cruelty la practiced.
It Is not cruelty to enforce discipline
In a convict camp any more than it
Is In the home or In the school room.
Parents and 'teachers usually hate to
correct those who are In their keep
ing. Convict keepers do not correct
prisoners for fun. They are not go
ing to pay high price* for these men
tod then' subject them fo toe dan
gers of getting sick, nor are they go
ing td whip 'them to death. ' *
As we said In the outlet, there may
be cases of cruelty and there may
be sampe that are not ha wall 'kept

a bone of contention In Georgia tor
