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but with the present sys tem of arrangement that appears to be, like the Con dilution, a back num ber and entirely out of date.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.

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 pany, Schenectady, N.
