HOW TO STOP THE LEAKS.
It appears that a little deal was recently passed up by the
city which, if consummated, would have netted in the neighbor
hood of $1,600 for the municipal coffers. With a little foresight
and business acumen, nc doubt this money could have been saved
for the city, whereas it is now being paid to au outside corporation.
As Jacksou grows—and it certainly will —there will be more
and more little leaks, not chargeable to dishonesty, nor to sins of
commission, but principally chargeable to sins of omission.
Under our present archaic system it is difficult to prevent such
mistakes. What Jackson needs—as does practically every other
municipality in the country—is a thorough-going BUSINESS ad
ministration, such as is provided by the new commission system.
The commission form of government provides for a commis
sion of business men rather than politicians. It provides for offi
cers whose duties are those of business administrations. Cities
all over the country are demonstrating this effectiveness of com
mission government. Cartersville operates under such a charter.
Dalton has recently adopted it. Why not Jackson?
Why not? Would not $1,600 go a long way towards much
needed paving and sidewalk improvements? Do we not need
every possible leak stopped for a better and a more beautiful city?
Wages for Prisoners.
Humane treatment for convicts
is becoming the general rule and
great advances have been made
along this line. Instead of look
ing on the incarceration as an ex
change with society for the crime
committed, the advanced position
has been taken that one of the
main objects of imprisonment is
the reformation of the criminal.
This idea has taken shape in the
discarding of stripes by the upper
grade prisoners, and, in some State
prisons, of even such diversions as
a baseball game outside the walls.
The men are being taught that they
are still human beings and given
an incentive to stand on honor
rather than the enforced restraint
of iron bars and high walls.
But back of ihe convict is his
family—innocent women and chil
dren—who must bear the brunt of
the deprivation of the labor of
the natural breadwinner. The
stories of the fights with adversity
made by these wives and mothers
provide the pathos of the picture.
To lighten the punishment on the
folks at home is looming up as a
real problepi for prison reformers
to consider.
One New Jersey county has un
dertaken to remedy the unfortun
ate condition. The county prison
ers are to be worked on the roads
at $1.50 a day, of which the pris
oner’s family gets one-tliird, the
boarding expense one-third, and
the court costs the remaining third.

sum, it will go far toward provid-

small earnings by the family, will
greatly lighten its lot.
A convict’s labor is a thing of
value to the State far beyoud the
cost of maintenance. To divide
up the surplus with the family de
prived by force of its breadwinner
seems a reasonable proposition.
FOR BRIDE-ELECT.
Included in a eeries of lovely af

The toasts written to the bride

amusing.

brick cream and pink and white
heart-shaped cakes bearing the ini
tials of the bride and bridegroom,
carried out the color scheme of pink

BETTS-WISE.
Of more than ordinary local in
terest is the announcement of the
marriage of Hon. J. Walter Wise,
of Fayetteville, to Miss Cora Lil
lian Betts, of McDonough, which
took place Tuesday afternoon of
last week at the Madison Avenue
Baptist church in New York City.
The wedding was a quiet one, only
a few intimate friends of the couple
being present.
The following account of the
marriage is reproduced from the
Henry County Weekly:
“Mrs. Wise is a McDonough
girl, who was reared here and has
lived here practically all her life.
She is a charming young lady and
accomplished in many ways.
“For nearly a year she has been
in New York pursuing a special
course at Columbia University.
“She has scores of friends here
in her old home and throughout
the county and State, and all join
in their heartiest best wishes for
her.”
“Mr. Wise is # one of the most
prominent attorneys in Georgia.
He was raised in Henry county,
and for several years ably repre
sented his county in the State Leg
islature and later was our circuit’s
distinguished Solicitor General.
His friends throughout Georgia
are congratulating him on his good
fortune.
“Mr. and Mrs. Wise will be at
home to their friends in Fayette
ville after June 10th.”
