The Crawfordville Advocate. PUBLISHED BY ATKINSON & FLURY. Kuu-rvd at the Host Office at villc, On., as Second Class. Matter. C. E. ATKINSON, > Editois. .1. A. FLURY, i CiuwFORDvn.bE, Ga., DEC’., -0,18‘Jo The Turks are still slaying the Christians by thousands. Homo, Ga., has 82,000,000 invested in cotton mills. lion. Allen G. Thurman died at his home in Columbus. Ohio, on Thursday of last Week. ('apt. 11 any .Jackson, a prominent citizen of Atlanta, died m that city on last Friday. The recent Legislature passed a local bill for Columbia county, prohibiting the buying or selling ol seed cotton. • • The State Convention of the People’• Ptnrv convened iu Atlanta on Wtallies diiv of this week. Sam .Touts is now in Atlanta shaking up the sinners, and dealing out regular Skim Jones slang in first class .style. Sam .Jones says “the girls arc tiding bicycles, the. hoys are riding straddle, and the people are sending jackasses to the Legislature.” We notice that some of our North Georgia contemporaries are getting out large trade editions. Herein Eastern and Middle Georgia it is all wo editors can do to get out a regular vvesb.y edition. A head end collision occurred on the Southern Railway, with two heavy freight trains, font miles from Macon on last Thursday, killing an engineer and a brakeuian, and injurying four other persons, The collision was due to the operator at one ol the stations failing to instruct one of the trains to lake a siding a mile from the wreck. The people of Georgia will again be asked l<> ratify a proposed amendment to the constitution, providing for three ad littoual Justices of the. Supreme 'em t t. The peopfe have defeated this '•movement twice before. No doubt this quentio 11 wit. ju , t leading featmVt > t the ca*" paign in 18JH5 in this (State, and the matter will he put squarely be¬ fore the people in its most favorable light. The Nation’s Capitol, made sacred to liberty by Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln, lias become the home of English toadies, money changers, gold gamblers, political Hessians, wolves in sheep’s clothing, and hypocrites in high standing that eclipse iu duplicity and rascality the scribes and l’harisecs who desecrated the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem ol old.—Silver Knight. Dr. 1. S. Hopkins lias sent in his resignation as piesideut of the Tech¬ nological School, and declares it to he final, lion. N. K. Harris of Bibb and Mr, Sam Inman of Atlanta are mem¬ bers of the board of trustees, Mr. Harris being chairman. Their resig¬ nations are exerted to follow in a short time. The trouble is said to be be¬ cause of the failure of the legislature to appropriate the 5? 15,000 asked for. The money was wanted for a dormitory at which the stueuts could earn enough to reduce their expenses while at school Five thousand dollars was wanted for a department of electrical engineering. In another column in this paper we give a synopsis of the report made by the laigislative committee that investi¬ gated the convict camps in this State. The report is certainly a severe one, and shows the present convict system rotten to the core. The committee that made the investigation certainly deserves the thanks of the entire .State for their work in bringing such horrible treatment to the notice of the general public. Now let the State authorities take immediate action against the perpetrators of such barbarous treat incut as set forth in the committee's report. Why does Mr. Cleveland falsely de* clare that greenbacks aud Treasury notes are gold obligations when the statute explicitly declares that they are coin obligations and ty e redeemable in either gold or silver coin ? Because, the whole scheme of robbing the treas¬ ury by gold gamblers and exporters of gold and the issuance of bonds rests on the paramount lie that the statute au¬ thorizes sucli wholesale robbery when in fact it is only through the violation of the law that the President has pow cr to create panics, rob the treasury, increase the national debt aud produce Universal distress.—Silver Kuight.

PENITENTIARY CONVICT* A Picture of Starv£.tica and Cruelty. .*«*«-v Legislature to m A: :t -port or Cue cond.Con of ti.i- diiT.iei.t <•,, .vict «.Hhc State submitted in substance the following report, which is horr.bh . and such a condition of affairs is a blot upon the fair name of Georgia: "'lie repott was made by Mr. Iteagan of Heniy county, the chairman of the penitentiary committee, lir-tdeals with the milder details of the penitentiary camps which were visited by the. com niittee. In this comic uion it is stated that in nios all of the cmpi insufficient .mil dings arc nrovi.bid. special attention .... being oirocto'l to the . . nui.uti m .. >.o . raid Lowntli-s coiiutu-s. a* .a. :;and< i> r',,‘ viavweii Joledo and Dade camp-. 1 he timid imr- at these camp-., the report states me . >t sufficiently well ventilated in tin J-uinr.icr time and not stoves enough provided to keep the convicts warm in the winter, while at Mineola it was found that no separate sleeping apart¬ ments were provided for the whites and blacks, but both bu l lied up U> outlier in the same toom. At Alexaridersviiie, Toledo and Mar: well, tile committee says the hub log¬ in which the nn.n arc conlit e i when not at work, arc nothing more th ;n miserable substitutes for houses, hems: on the ground, in a malarial Miction ol the couimy, subjecting the prisoner to disease and death. All the build iugs were found to be badly kept, no attention at ail being paid to cleanliness. The eomm.Ltec made a pieudnote ol the fact that at Alexandersville the convicts were not properly c.tuhed no. fed well. They are not given, the com niittee believes, one-third as much to eat as they require. ; his condition ol ah'tin exi.-.ts in Worth county, as wc '1 at in Dade county. The Dado county mines appears to be veritable den of horrors from the committee’s report. The convicts are but half fed and half clothed, “Thi camp,” the report nays, “is in the very worst condition. The convicts are ae tually being starved, and have not suf¬ ficient clothing. Iu addition to being without sufficient clothing and being starved, they are treated with great cruelty under the system of corporal punishment adopted by the superinten¬ dent, who is also whipping boss of the camf. Thi puni” tout is the mo t brutal ever indicted by one human be-* . ‘ ' ' t * '> ' convict is tin oMi tt| u his back, while in that,position an apparatus at Inched to a huso is fastened to his nose and water thrown into las nostrils un til he is almost strangled. As the vic¬ tim shows signs of reviving the strang¬ ling process is repeated until the vic¬ tim has barely enough life left in him to rise from the ground. “This brutal and inhuman treat¬ ment,” the committee declares, “should not he tolerated a single day lunger, and the inilietor should he properly punished. Such outrageous conduct is a disgrace to the state, and the proper authorities should look after the matter without delay.” The committee recommends that the convicts at the Dade camp be removed and taken away from the control of the superintendent, who has been practic¬ ing cruelty and brutality as described.. “We feel,” the committee says, “that the great state of Georgia cannot allow those who are placed in her custody, criminals though they be, to be either starved or beaten to A ath. fus _> are certainly entitled to something like humane treatment, and it is the duty of the state to see that thev receive it.” DANGEROUS CRIMINALS. The people of this country are weary of frauds practiced at the polls and a reform iu this direction offers a iul field for the men who will work to gether for pure elections, incspectivt of party, of clique or of influence. The election frauds threaten to uudermiue our whole system of govern nut* t. uational, state aud niunicipa*. y encourage anarchy and cr< a a of uneasiness that is uubia’ri ii iHC extreme.
