Brother Seely, of the Atlanta Georgian. in his attack upon the Prison Commission ot Georgia is picturing some horrible exceptional cases of cruel treatment at different convict camps. We lie lit ve in the bringing to justice of the cruel con vict whipping boss and the estab lishment of sai.i'.iry conditions in the camps immediately, but fail to see t lie pee, ssity of abolishing the lease system without the state s first making preparat ions for the change. In other words, we favor the abol ishing <f the system, but believe the state should he given ample tiiVic to prepare for su'eli*' an ex pensive under'taking. Xow as to brother S ely s ter rific arraignment of the prison com mission and the -tat -of Georgia in his fight to have th< convicts placed upon the public roads. \\ ill his remedy 'eliminate the whipping boss and line the convict, camp- of Georgia with daisies and roses? We think not. So long as we have a criminal class in the state then is going to he a very undesirable place to detain them as a protec tion to our peaceable citizenry. We were firm in our belief that brother Seely’s intentions were good, hut when his paper started a voting contest which tended to show the. sentiment of Georgia as favoring Roosevelt for president our faith began to waver, and now that lie is endeavoring to picture our state to the world as being com posed of fiends and barbarians, we must agree with the late Sam Jones that “h —1 is paved with good in tentions’’ "i 1 that Brother Seely is running his paper into yellow jour nalism for the sake of revenue only. The Georgian may give us a black ey* with some people outside the stab , but our citizens will never lelicve that Christian men like Gen. Clement A. Evans would knowingly permit of such brutality. We rise to remark that we are of the opinion that Winder has out grown the hog-pen class of cities. A Winder citizen cleared away and burned the weeds and trash near his home one day this week, so we hear. Ouiiassociate reports meeting a (.{rove of buffaloes at (hiinesvillc.

The Press is right. Tho talk about a democratic rally to Taft on the part of a few people in Georgia, is all wrong. Let us all stand true to the faith. There are some few so-called democrats in Georgia who ought, to he in the republican camp, anyhow —Svlvanie Telephone*.

Tom Watson is always looking for old raw bead and bloody bones, and some times lie does find a ‘hooper, but now he has jumped at the bright light of William -J.
