WHEN LAWS WERE INHUMAN.
Criminals Now Treated as Subjects
. For Possible Reclamation.
There was a time when the law had
no sympathy whatover for the self-
confessed or Jury-convicted prisoner,
and no concern whatever for his wel
fare. He waa deemed unworthy of
consideration and as having no claim
on the good offices 'of the community.
-In those days the sole purpose with
which punishment was Inflicted was to
deter the sufferer from repeating the
offense, otd with that object In view
It was made disproportionately severe.
At the beginning of tho last century
in England every felony was punlsh-
ablo wtlh death, and If the principle
was not In this country pushed to the
same extremes tho same spirit pre
vailed. There was no thought of re
claiming the criminal and of helping
the man who had mado a bad wtnrt
to get back to the right road again.
On the contrary, for him to get back
waa made as difficult as posable. His
self-respect waa broken down by the
Infliction of every kind of Ingenious
Ignominy and a stigma was pieced
opon him which practically left - him
no choice but to continue on a crimi
nal career. Now the thought le to ex
tend a helping hand and to furnish
the first offender with ample oppor
tunity for refornw—Philadelphia in
quirer.

EX-CONVICT VOLUNTARILY
GOES BACK TO GANG
VALDOSTA. Go.. Oct. 17—There le
one member of the Lowndes county
convict gang who Is there because
prefers It to the Idle life In town. His
name l« Fred Newton, and he has Just
finished a term on the gang. I,a*t
Tuesday his sentence expired and he
was brought to town by Superintend*
ent Taylor and given his liberty, to
gether with a new ault of clothing and
an amount of money sufficient to buy
him a few meals.
Wednesday night Newton turned up
at tho camp and asked to be put to
work again. He said that things were
too dull in town and that ho would
rather work than loaf about. He took
his place In the convict quarters
works along with the gang, though he
Is not now under tho discipline that
tho others are.
After working two days, convincing
the superintendent of his earnestneai
the superintendent gave him employ
ment and put him on the payroll. New
ton says that the regular habits that
nro forced upon tho convicts makes
them strong and healthy and ho feels
that ho Is better off there than he
would be In the city.
Slump in Cotton Not Good.
The slump In tho price of sea Island
cotton Is not pleasing at all to tho
farmers of this section. The price is
getting below tho cost of production,
duo to the large receipts. The growers
say that the largo receipts aro due to
the fact that tho cotton opened all at
once this year and that tho farmers
havo been able to gather It early.
Such seasons for harvesting sea # Is
land cotton have never been known
hero before. Owing to tho large stalk
and tho large amount of follngo on It
tho sun does not strike It as It does
the upland cotton and slow opening 'a
the result. This season there has been
the dryest of weather since cotton be
gan to open, and the staple Is at least
six or eight weeks ahead of what It
usually In at this season of the year.
Tho good seasons have mado a bet
ter staple than usual, and this Is an
other reason why the fhrmera bellevo
they ought to have a better price. It
Is very likely that there will be a let
up In the rush to market until there Is
a stronger tone to tho market.
Where Famous Men Were Wont
To Meet on the Field of Honor
Bladensburg and “Blood Run” Now
the Scene of Changed Association^—
Some of the Famoua Duels of Years
Gone By—Bloody and Dosperste En
counters.
Lillian M. Cheshire In Nashville Ban-
nei.
On August 25,1814, whon tho IBrltlsh
landed at Bladensburg, marched Into
Washington, sacked and burned the
government’s building/*.- and captured
President Madison’s dinner, the old
town was then a placo of moderate
character and reputation; but a few
years after that event tho Lord caused
the waters to recede, tho beds of the
rivers to HU up from washlngi from
the valley and hillsides, and gradually
the town was left high and dry. In
the years agono men were wont to seek
that locality to settle their differences
with rifles or pistols and tho code of
honor, but now men of different posi
tions In life flock there to wltnean prize
fights, boxing contests, dog lights, cOck
fights and "amusements" of llko char
acter. AU these and -more are per
mitted without the Interference of law.
These supposed-to-be sports thump
and pound each other In the presence
t mixed audiences, made up chiefly
•f the cheaper class of government
employes, store clerks, students, book
keepers, merchants, traders, shady-
genteel adventurers and hangers-on ol
different sorts.
No distinction Is made gs to race,
color, standing or previous conditions
of servitude, so long as the entrance
fee Is planked down. There Is no atp
tempt at keeping things quiet, but, on
the contrary everything Is "wide open"
Bloody fights frequently enliven the
program. There seems to be an un
written agreement that no difficulties
are to be taken Into the courts for
adjudication. They stand as nno man
tor mutual protection and future fun.
Sunday Is always a busy day and large
numbers of sport* go out from thq
city.
Rum Mills In Plenty.
In B’edensbunr there are rum mills
galore. Tho conditions there are equal
ly as bad as thn others. Streets are
Irregular and sidewalks of the break
neck pattern; many houses, old. dingy,
dirty and dilapidated; there Is little
of neatness and order.
And this Is the present-day status
of tho place where the lawmakers away
back yonder met to shoot at each othAr
for some real or fancied wrong. If
those men could come back and fake a
view at Bladensburg. H Blood Run" and
the rest of that section, they would
be only too glad to tumble haek In
their graves and make a rsquest for
more dirt to be piled on. The old tav
ern was the stopping place for .duel
ing parties, they usually going out the
evening before the day of the meeting.
Thero were always brandy and rum
and plenty of everything good to ent.
Then, as now, there was nothing in
the architecture of the tavern tor puz
zle the eye or bewilder the understand
ing; no fummery or ornamentation to
razzle-dazzle the appetite. Could tho
old rooms talk, there would be somo
rare stories of stiff poker games and
high-rolling times, as well es nervous,
sleepless nights for tho* 0 who braced
up on old rum In order to face death
next day at "Blood Run," the dueling
grounds, located a ehort distance from
tho turnpike. Just In rear of tho old
colonial home of Col. Rives. A mag
nificent grove of cellar trees which
have stood there for ages almost, sep
arates the dueling grounds from the
old mansion, stilt one of the best and
handsomest In all Maryland. Nearly
all the larger trees have been cut
away from the grounds, and the under
growth and grass have taken posses.
"Ion. The spot where so many bloody
duels took place Js only a very short
distance from the line which divides
the District of Columbia and Mary
land. but sufficiently removed from the
roadway as to be entirely out of aright.
More duels have been fought there
than at any one place In the entire
United States, and this fact ought to
give the town of Bladensburg some
tone, but It doesn’t.
Famous Duel.
No duel never took place there which
has been more talked of and written
about than that of Commodore Stephen
Decatur and Commodore James .Bar
ron. Thle fatal meeting took place In
1820 and resulted In the death of De
catur and the eerfoua wounding of
Barron, but he finally recovered end
lived to the ripe o’d age of It. The
naval records of the two men are fa
miliar to every reader, of hlsforv. and
It Is only necessary In this article to
say that the duel was brought about
by unkind word* which Decatur had
used In reference to Rirron after the
British frigate Leopard had fired upon
end captured the Chesapeake. com
manded by Barron. While It was
known that Barron and hie ship were
powerless In the hands of the power
ful Leopard, and that the Chesapeake
waa attacked at a time of pcaco a\J
when troublo was not anticipated, yet
ho was court-martialed and suspended
from rank and pav for five yean.
Men familiar with naval affairs assert
that Barron waa blameleaa and that thn
blame should have been placed where if
properly belonged, ui»n the navy depart
ment. At tho expiration of Barron’
trace and return to duty, he "fas refused
active command. Commodore Dt~“‘—

and In letters which passed the tone of

Decatur’s were of a nature calculated
to arouse in Barron anything but
kindest feelings. Aa a member of ...

work agnlnat Barron. Ho persistant waa
he that Barron finally challenged him to
