THE CONVICTS.
The investigation that lias been
pending before the governor and bis
assistants in regard to the charges
prefered against the lessees for their
alleged mistreatment of the convicts
has disclosed some ugly facts for our
people to consider, and naturally the
old question arise®, “what shall we do
with our convicts.”
It seems that it is utterly impossi
ble to lease the convicts to private in
dividuals and corporations and have
them treated in a manner that is hu
mane and decent. No one will con
tend that criminals sent up for pun
ishment and correction should have a
congenial home and the comforts of
opulence wherein they may gloat on
the pride of their situation, and bask
in the smiles of fortune ; but there is
a limit to the discomfiture ot unfor
tunates, and a restriction within
which the most obstinate reprobate
should be punished. It seems to us
that there also should bo an idea of
correction and reform prevailing in
the disposition and management of
men and women who are ad
judged enemies of society
and state; but with the present sys
tem of arrangement that appears to
be, like the Con dilution, a back num
ber and entirely out of date. The one
prevailing sentiment is to get all out
of them that is possible, even at the
cost of the moat death-wounding cru
elty and abj set prostitution to the
criminal.
As long as the state continues to
place the convicts at the disposal of
money making machines and grasp
ing individuals, there is no hope that
we shall bo exempt from these nause
ating details that have been recounted
to the public from the investigations
at the capital.
Tbe most probable solution of this
question that, iu our opinion, has
been suggested, is for the state to em
ploy the convicts in its own enter
prises and place them directly under
the management of state officers
where they will be more directly cared
for and looked after by responsible
persons not intent on the proceeds
that may be derived from their labor.
The next legislature will have this
question to settle. Next year the
present system will expire and it will
he for the legislature to renew the
same or devise some other plan of dis
position. There are almost 11s manv
theories in regard to this plan as there
are members in the legislature and an
infinite number of of suggestions will
he proposed by the newspapers and
men who are interested in public af
fairs, Some of the more important
ones will advocate the present lease
system ; some will say that the state
should buy farms in different parts of
its territory and work the convicts in
the fields ; others believe that to buy
mines and dig coal would redound
more largely to tie state's wealth;
the penitentiary plan is popular; and
still another is to work all the con
victs, both state and county, on the
public roads. This last would lie an
exceedingly expensive undertaking,
but no one would deny the immense
value to the people. There is one
thing certain in regard to our own
county convicts, and that is, we must
shortly make this disposition of them ;
for, besides an illegality staring us in
the face in regard to the present
plan, there is a rapidly growing senti
ment in favor of working them on
our public roads, and we confidently
believe that the next grand jury will
recommend some such change.
hatever shall lie the disposition
made of the state convicts, one of the
strongest requisites in the adjust
ment should demand systematic re
formatory regulations iu their man
agement.
In closing hi® lecture in Augusta,
Mr. Ingalls saM : “The streets of Jeru
salem were kept clean by every man
sweeping in front of lii own door.
The only way to elevate indi
vidual* is by personal effort. In this
way we may hope to have a govern
ment of the people, for tbe people,
and by the people.”
The Solicitor*hip.
The Waycross Journal as a general ;
rule is very free from gush and clap- i
trap, but we would warn Brother j
Sweat against too many political
write-ups, lest he may lose bis pres
tige. In his endeavor to make Mr.
Toomer prominent as a candidate for
solicitor he almost strained his ener- j
gies to say so netbing agreeable about
Mr. Toomer that could not he said
about the other candidates fer the
same position. Now couldn’t you j
have said the same tilings about the
rest, Brother Sweat?
Nobody denies that Mr. Toomer is
a nice man ; tiiat he is an able young
lawyer; that he has made friends and
soforth and so on. Tbe Journal says
Toomer deserves tbe solicitorship, but
does not tell us wherein his deserts
tower above bis opponents.
It says Mr. Toomer acted solicitor
while Mr. Brantley was absent, and
therefor# knows all about it. Well,
any good lawyer knows the duties of j
the solicitor, especially should John
Bennett, who has practiced law three j
and a half years longer than Mr. Too- j
mcr—oven nefore Mr, Toomer studied j
law.
The Journal also claims that “the
State’s representative should have an
extensive acquaintance tnrougliout
the circuit.” Bro. Sweat ought not
to have said this; for herein is Mr.
Tootner’a weakest point. Mr. Toomer
has been coming here for several
years as court reporter, aid people
tell us that they have met him time
and again and he had never deigned
even to speak to them till the last
court when lie bad bis eye on tbe so
licitorsbip. Don’t many people know
him up this way," except as “Judge
Sweat’s pet.”
These are the only points particu
larly mentioned in his favor by the
Journal, and we deem them of minor
importance, either for or again-1 Mr.
Toomer; but Brother Sweat shouldn’t
rant about bis weakness.

A Woman’s Heart.
ONE DISEASE THAT BAFFLES THE
PHYSICIAN.
The Story of a Woman who Suffered for
Nine Veers. How She wee Cured.
(From the Newark, N. J., Keening Newt)
Valvular disease of the heart has always
been considered incurable. The following
interview therefore, will intereet the medi
cal profe/sion, since it desoribesthe success
ful use of anew treatment for this disease.
The patient is Mrs. Geo. Archer, of Clifton,
N. J., and this publication by the Newt is
the first mention made of the case by
any newspaper. AU physicians consulted
pronounced the patient suffering with val
vular disease of the heart, and treated her
without the slightest relief. Mrs. Archer
said: “ I could not walk across the floor;
neither could I go up stairs without stopping
to let the nain in my chest and left arm
cease. 1 felt an awful constriction about
my arm and chest as though I were tied
with ropes, fhen there was a terrible noise
at my right ear, like the labored breathing
of some great animal. 1 have often turned
expecting to see some creature at ray side.
“Last July,” continued Mrs. Archer," I
wits at Springfield, Mass, visiting, and.my
mother snowed me an account in’the
Springfield Examiner, telling of the won
derful cures effected by the use nf Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
My mother urged me to try the pills and
on November 25th last I bought a box
and began taking them, and 1 have taken
them ever since, except for a short in
terval. The first box did not seem to
benefit me, but I persevered, encouraged
by the requests of my relatives. After be
ginning on the second box, to my wonder,
tiie noise at my right ear censed entirely. 1
kept right on and tho die tried that I used to
feel in mv chest and arm gradually disap
reared. The blood ban returned to my face,
ins and ears, which were entiralv devoid
of color, and I feel well and atrcm. again.
“My son. too, hod been troubled with
? antritis and I induced him to try the Pink
’ills, with great benefit. I feel that every
body ought to know of my wonderful cura
and I bless God that I have found some--
thing that has given me this great relief.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are now given
to the public as an unfailing blood builder
and nerve restorer, curing all forms of
weakness arising from a watery condition
of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful
causes of most every ill that flesh is heir to.
These pills are also a specific for the troubles
peculiar to females, such as suppressions,
all forms of weakness, chronic constipation,
bearing down pains, etc., and in tho case of
men will give speedy relief and effect a per
manent cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever
nature. Tho pills are sold by all dealers,
or will be sent post paid on receipt of price,
(50 cents a box, or fi boxes for ¥2.so—they
are never sold in bulk, or by the 100) by
addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Com
