The fact that the prese at sys¬ tem of leasing convicts will soon exp ro by limitation, some reecut occurrences here and there, and a growing sentiment ar'ong our people that our present plan of pun islujpent is not the best, viewed from any standpoint, have brought the question to the front. The question is one with mW.v sides, and one about which thinking [>eo ple will not cave to dogmatize. v.% It is not difficult to point out many Jb jcctionablo features in our present system —less difficult no doubt than it is '» devise a system that would bo free from the same,, or even greater defects. ****** One vital objection to the present sys¬ tem is that it is a species of legalized slavery. The State 1ms the normal and legal right to punish evil doers, but it has certainly no normal right to convert this function into a commercial transaction in which the sovices of the criminal are bartered to the highest bidder for a con¬ sideration. The criminals of the State should not be treated as so many paupers, lunatics or imbeciles, and supported at the expense of honest, law-abiding peo¬ ple. To maintain prisoners in idleness would be to add cruelty to punishment. They ought by every token to cam their support. Hut to use the convicts of Georgia as a means of revenue to the common wealth is too much like putting a premium upon crime. ****** We have had abundant demonstration of the fact Umt it is impossible, un¬ der our present system to protect the State’s convicts from cruel treatment. Shameful and shameless barbarities liavo been recalled by many fair and full investi¬ gations of theconductof the convict camps in various pints of Ihe state. This is not true of all of them, of course, but in too many of them, it lias been the case, and is no doubt true today. Safeguard tho sys¬ tem as we may, it is intrinsically bad, and can never be made good. It was foisted aud fastened upon the State during the days of reconstruetioifiso-called,) and does not deserve the long life it lias had. ******* The criminal laws of Georgia recog¬ nize a distinction between misdemeanors and felonies. Tho couvict lease system rccoginizes no such distinction. Crimi¬ nals of all grades and shades art: dumped into a common pile. The youthful offender, too poor, it may be, to pay a fine, goes into stripes along side of the most hardened law breakers. Such indiscrimi¬ nate mixing of petty thieves and bloody murderers “chock by fool”” makes of our convict camps breeding places for crimes and criminals. The new system, what¬ ever it may bo, should abate this evil. A FRICANA will cure Syphilis and Old z» Sores to Stay Cured. MERGER'S COMMENCEMENT.

La hive Grippe If .you had the Grippe, you know fits aches and pains, the fever, the chills, the cough, the depression—you know them all. Tlhe Grippe exhausts the nervous vitality. system quickly, Two lowers the things should be done at once: —the body must be strength¬ ened, and force must be given to the nervous system. Cod liver Oil will do the first; Hy pophosphites the second. These are permanently and pleasantly combined in Scott's Emulsion. It lifts the despondency membranes and heals the inflamed of the throat and lungs. But you need not have LA GRIPPE. You can put your system in a condition unfavorable to it. You can have rich, red blood; resistive strength; steady brain andi nerves. Scott's Emulsion prevents as well as cures. And whether you send or go for Scott’s Emulsion, be sure you get the genuine.
