Senator Ellington Talks
Lecturer Ellington gave a plain, practical
talk to Alliancemeo of our county at the
court house last Monday morning. His
lecture was brimful of useful information to
allianoemen, and his earnest seal ia the
work inspired the allianeemen of our
county to stand bravely together in the
i-reat fight ofthe masses against the classes.
The Southern Alliance Farmer received
snbe sntisl endorsement in the way of si »er
wheels bearing tb* impress of the eagle bird
and ringing resolutions were pasted da
nouttoing the parlor caucus at the mansion.
Brother Ellington is n true soldier in the
great fight
The following resolutions were adopted by
Oconee County That Alliance. February 16tU, 1891.

THAT OLD JAIL.
By hie vigilance, his promptness and hit
sterling efficiency, Earle Overby, Sheriff,
b^s assuredly commended himself to bis
of Oconee county. But in nothing
does he deserve a better endorsement than
in Ms efforts to build a new jail.
Prisoners are rarely—if ever—sent to
jail foi punishment, either before or after
conviction. The object of committals is the
custody of the defendant—his custody only
—in most cases. It is a peculiar boast of
the country—a safeguard guaranteed by the
fundamental law of the land, that,
“No person shall bo deprived of life, lib¬
erty, or prosperity, except by due processor
law.”
‘ Nor cruet and unusual punishments in¬
flicted. Nor shall any parson be abused in
bein:; arrested, while under arrest, or in
prlso*.’’
Fully recognizing Uie duly of the public
to provide healthful, humane, decent and
comfortable fare for the unfortunates, who
may fall into the clutches of the law—even
to have a care for their ease and pleasure
so far as their secure custody will allow.
Sheriff Overby, goes his rounds to that vile
old jail, t* that miserable bole—almost
equal to “the Black Hole of Calcutta,” to
that loathsome den of rats and bags and
smaller vermin, and of snakes and polecats,
and of foul steuches and dungeon damp.
He calls to-the darkness within to send ferth
its wretched prisoner te receive hi* food,
and then discovers how far that prisoner
has been brought down below the dignity of
manhood—and that too under no proper
punishment—that too an infliction upon a
poor victim, who is perhaps quite guiltless,
snd who has never been adjudged a viola¬
tor of law.
He then addresses himself to the task of
purifying the equaled mass before him.
Over and, over he repeats the copious use
of water and soap Snd sand and mops and
brooms and jets and rubbing cloths and
lime and carbolic acid and other disinfec¬
tants, But ail this tails of that relief fer
which the situation so badly calls, in deep
commiseration he turns and calls to Grand
Juries and ether conservators of the public
welfare to come to his help—to remove this
eye-sore, this blot—this sad reproach—this
shame upon the refinement of the time :
and builu a new jail. Will you not, men
of Oconee county, respond to that call t
Will you not have some pity ? Some char¬
ity ? Shall R be said that yon set the ex¬
ample in violating the Constitution, by the
infliction of “cruel and unusual punish¬
ments’* 1 by -the abfise of person in prison ?’
It is said by the opponents of Ihia saints
Rea measure, Uw-osuuty ought (« finish
paying for its elegant court House before it
incurs further expense. Shall it be told
that you provided the best court Iioute in
the surrounding digtrist—the roost luxuri¬
ant Jurors appointments—for privileged' Judges and Lawyers
and other persons, but
that you refused to secord to a poor accus¬
ed victim a decent, healthful, humane place
of confinement ta await the issue at ilia:
accusation,because that requites an outlay?
But “tliat old jail” is so safe, it is said. that
it will never do to give it up. 8c safe are
many other jails. So safe would be any
other jail if Earle Overby were its keeper.
So would not have been ‘-that old jail if
some other sheriff had been its keeper.
