The Prison Farm the Best Thing
in Penology.
Alfxnnil.T IUurru*. Editorial Writer of tin* N^w

Whut shall society do with the crimi
nal?
The man is placed in a cold, dark cell,
beyond the pale of companionship or
comfort. His garb indicates that he is
an outcast— a man to he shunned by all
honest folk. IHb self-respect is torn
from him; he is degraded. The first
step toward the crumbling and final dis
solution of the entire fabric of morality
iB the Ions of his self-respect.. Outside,
the day is bright and balmy; his cell is
dark and filthy, laden with disease
germs.
He strains against the bars, eagerly
seeking the warm rays of the life-giv
ing sunlight; how he longs for the beau
tiful world! A mad anger surges up
within him, a furious, unreasoning rage
against all mankind that has treuted
him so unjustly, anil in his impotent
fury he beats against the walls with
his bare hands.
Day after day his blood is poisoned
with hate; he turns against his fellow-
man; he lusts for revenge. The man
may he a first offender, but he is often
placed in the midst of congenial crimi
nals, and through constant companion
ship the remaining barriers of his mor
al being are torn down completely.
We are told that he is placed In a cell
to he reformed. Hut when have fear
and deadly hate reformed a man? All
the good influences his life may have
contained are stricken from him; home,
wife, family, love! How many men
have been turned back from paths of
evd and ruin by the love of a wife; how
many have been saved by the realiza
tion of their bounden duties toward the
little ones! Yet though prison cell re
moves him utterly from these powerful
agencies for good, we are told it will
reform him!
An eternal stain is left upon him: he
is branded with the mark of sin for the
rest of his duys; his very soul is scarred.
Fenr, alone, has never restrained man
from committing crime; and what is to
deter him from nguin going wrong in
his blind wrath, when the beast within
him, fostered by years of hate, has
been unleashed?
What shall we do to remedy these
conditions? How shall be remodeled our
criminal institutions? Science and com
mon sense show conclusively that bad
light, impure air, unsanitnry living
quarters and evil associations are the
most important factors in the produc
tion of; moral degenerates and law
breakers. Yet this is exactly what the
peniluntiary holds for its tenants.
How differently the prison farm would
affect its occupants? The men would be
out in the open, breathing in pure air,
thinking healthy, honest thoughts. In
the darkness of the cell one’s mind
dwells on evil things; morbid fancies
roam through the brain. Out in
the light of day there is no room for
thoughts of {darkness. The prison pal
lor disappears nnd healthy color suf
fuses the cheeks. Sunken hollows fill
out nnd dull eyes brighten.
Evening brings welcome slumber, not
restless nights, filled with hideous night
mares. Farm and road work would ben
efit the community and help make men
out of vicious brutes, at the same time
serving as a moral barrier to the in
wardly decent but unfortunate man.
Now, us he labors at some trying task,
receiving no return for his toil, his bit
terness is but enhanced at what he
deems tyrannical plundering of his la
bor power. When his life and occupa
tion would be healthy, his thoughts
would become healthy. Light and evil
are deadly enemies.
The grundest work of all is the up
lifting of wretched men and the preven
tion of crime, but until the time is
reached where it will be a thing un
known, punitive measures and penal in
stitutions are an imperative necessity.
But the dungeon is a relic of barbarous
ages; —it is not for enlightened men to
help drag down Btill further into the
dirt his unfortunate fellows.
In the slimy darkness of the fever
jungles, loathsome and venomous rep
tiles crawl through the clinging mud.
Out in the bright meadows beautiful
dowers rear their heads, spreading a
balmy fragrance, and birds dart swift
ly about filling the air with their merry
chatter.
In the darkness of prison walls evil is
afoot, stealthily creeping along, seek
ing for u hokl where it may implant its
tendrils. Open the iron gates, and the
hearts and souls of the unfortunates re
spond to the revivifying influences of
mother nature; destroy the grim and
gloomy prison house; not sentiment, but
humanity and common sense demand
this.
Some girls must dread the idea of
becoming old maids Otherwise they
wouldn't marry tht 1 kind of men they
do.

Obituary.
On May 1st, 1914, the pure spirit of
Lillian, daughter of Mr. William M.
Bagwell, passed from our midst to "a
"a houso not made with hands, eternal
in the heavens.” She was always an
affectionate and obedient daughter, a
congenial sister, and a favorite with all
who knew her. Indeed, to know her
was to love her. She loved her home,
and was a great lover of flowers. All
in human power wbb done for her re
lief, but to no avail. Luring her siek-
neBH she was hopeful and cheerful. She
joined the church when quite young.
She never made any great outward
demonstration, hut, like the waters of
a deep-flowing stream, she moved calm
ly along, alwayH at her place, with the
same sweet smile.
We loved her dearly, and felt that we
could not give her up; but the Death
Angel called her from us, and, without
fear of death, she passed to her eternal
reward. She often said to her sister,
Emma, who waited on her so patiently
during her long illness, that she was
ready just waiting for the summons
from above. How inexpressibly sad
was her long light for life! She bore her
sufferings patiently, without a murmur.
How cheerful she was. even when she
knew death was near! Her parting
words to the ones she loved so dearly,
were—
"All fie good, and meet me in heav
en.”
Her stay among us was short, but
her work was finished and she was
called to her reward. While the Death
Angel walked iri the garden at noon he
took the fairest rosebud, and after he
had dug for himself in our hearts a
fountain of tears, he took the fragrant
flower away to adorn the courts of
heaven. Let us all look heavenward,
and patiently wait till that same sweet,
cheerful smile shall greet us at the
beautiful pearly gates.
Eula Bagwell Logan.
Americus, Ga., July 1, 1914.
A young woman should be in heart
what she seems to be in life. Her
words should correspond with her
heart. The smile of her face Bhould be
the smile of her heart. The light of
her eye should be the light of her soul.
She should abhor deception, she' should
loathe intrigue, she should have a deep
disgust of duplicity. Her life should
be the outspoken language other mind,
the eloquent poem of her soul, speaking
in rhythmic beauties the intrinsic merit
of inward purity. Purity antecedes all
spiritual attainments and progress. It
is the first and fundamental virtue in a
good character; it is the letter A in the
moral alphabet; it is the first step in
the spiritual life; it is the Alpha of the
eternal state of soul which bus no
Omega.

The terror that a mother feels lest
she may lose her baby often clings to
her through life, us it did to the aged
woman of 97 years who, when they told
her that her son of 80 was dying, said,
"Ah, woe ia me! 1 said we could never
raise that child.” To merely raise a
child is not much to boast of; but to
send into the world honest, true men
and women, blessings to the com
munity in which they live, is indeed an
honor. To do this, something more
than food nnd clothing, or education
and amusement, are required; they
must take in truth and honor and ten
derness for others at their mother’s
knee, and acquire habits of industry
and economy as they grow in years.
A small hoy who was sitting next to
a very huuRhty woman in a crowded
car kept sniffling tn a moat annoying
manner. At last the woman could hear
it no longer and turned to the lad.
"Boy, have you got a handkerchief?”
she demanded.
The small hoy looked at her fora few
seconds, and then, in a dignified tone,
came the answer:
"Yes, I ’ave, but I don't lend it to
strangers. ”

THERE’S NO SENSE
IN TAKING CALOMEL. |
Dodson’B Liver Tone will fix up your
liver safely and won't “knock you out”
a day. A man feels very little like
working and a child don't want to go
to school when bilious or constipated.
If you try calomel to cure you, the
chances are that you will be so weak
ened by its after-effects that you will
he laid up for two or three days more.
So we say “Don’t Take Calomel!"
You can get a perfect remetiy to take
the place of calomel at John R. Cates
Drug Co.’s that is guaranteed to relieve
constipation and liven up the liver just
as quickly as calomel, but without any
of the bad after-effects of culomel. The
name of this medicine is Dodson’s Liv
er Tone. It is a pleasant-tasting vege
table tonic that mildly stimulates the
liver and causes it to work just right
without any danger of salivation. If it
doesn’t fully satisfy you, you may have
your money '-tack from the store whore
you bought Dodson’s.
Carpets and chairs are not so valu
able as boys and girls. Dust is less to
be deplored than a blemish on a child’s
character. Open your doors and win
dows, make the home attractive to the
children, give them the pleasure due
them, and they will be contented and
industrious, and, more than that, they
will be so much in love with home that
it will take a strong attraction to draw
them hence.
It is impossible to preserve good
lookB with a brood of bad passions feed
ing on the blood and a selfish, disdain
ful spirit enthroned in the will, as to
preserve the beauty of an elegant
mansion with a litter of swine in the
basement, a tribe of gypsies in the
parlor, and owls and vultures in the
upper part. *
When it’s your turn to face the Judp e
the scales of justice usually go wrong.
The unexpected happens about as of
ten as the expected fails to.
Anderson Alone, Offers
A Progressive Platform
J. Randolph Anderson of Savannah is the only candidate
in the race for governor who has offered the voters of the
state a substantially constructive and progressive platform.
His committee submits to the voters substantial reasons
why he should be elected, rather than reasons why others
should not be. ,
Long legislative service, including the presidency of the
state senate the past two sessions, has not only familiarized
him with state conditions, but has brought him into inti
mate touch with public needs in all their phases. He has,
accordingly, outlined a program which must appeal strong
ly to the voter who has Georgia’s progress and advancement
at heart.
Extension of the powers of the railroad commission so
as to protect the people in their dealings with all corpora
tions, and the elimination of a lot of Georgia’s unnecessary
politics, are among the features which appeal strongly to
the progressive voter.
Mr. Anderson has not had the opportunity of visiting all
the counties of the state, and as he is detained in Atlanta
by his duties as president of the senate, his campaign com
mittee takes this method of presenting briefly his plat
form principles to the voters of the state.
In setting forth the principles for which he stands, and
the enactment of which he will urge, Mr. Anderson says:
—The functions of the railroad commission should be en
larged and it should be made a state corporation commis
sion.
—Georgia needs a careful and economical administration of
her finances, held within the limits of her income.
—The Western anil Atlantic Railroad should be leased so
as to bring the maximum return to the state, and to pro
tect the counties and towns upon the line in the matter
of taxes.
—Georgia should have a state highway commission to co
operate with the counties in the improvement of public
roads.
—Better and stronger laws should be enacted for the ad
vancement of Georgia’s educational system and the pro
tection of her teachers.
—He does not favor the leasing of the Western and At
lantic Railroad by the Seaboard, because it would invite
paralleling by the L. and N. and thus endanger the
state’s property.
—Georgia needs an adequate system for the collection
and recording of her vital statistics.
—The drainage of Georgia’s overflow and swamp lands is
an important and much needed state development.
—A safe system of rural credits should be established for
the advancement of agriculture, to which an effective
system of land title registration should be provided as a
preliminary.
—The equal and impartial enforcement of all the laws is
the duty of. every public official.
—The Georgia legislature should meet only once every
two years.
The governor should be elected only once every four years
and permitted to serve only one term.
—The terms of office of all statehouse and all county offi
cers should be made four years, thus reducing our poli
tics one-half.
—There has been no governor from South Georgia since
1823.
