Shortly after explaining the doctrine
of atonement, Dr. Lee took up the
Georgia convict question. He quoted
from one of Olive Schreiner's books
en allegory. In which she describe# the
world aa hell.
"Here we have the parabolic state
ment of a terrible truth," he eald. "It
la set forth aa applying to the time
Just after the death of Christ. But It
la for our time aa well. This parable
purports to be a description of the
world as hell.
“Suppoee we wanted to devise for
ourselves as complete a picture of hell
In lt» most outmgeoue and lurid form
aa we could make, can we think of
any better method to elcure It than
simply to sketch human Ilfs as lived
In our Georgia convict camps?

but never In my life have I rend of

"The Federal prison In the suburbs!

outward conditions go, In comparison
with our convict camps. These men
are hired out to Inhuman boseee at ao
much a month. In order that w# may
get money to keep up our school*, or
to lessen our taxes.
'This combination between the citi

legislature, and the hireling bosses end

"Behind the curtain bark there the
tmeses art pressing blood from the pul-
sating grapes that we may have a little

"St. Paul eald that he rejoiced In bis

What we need to learn today Is that
the -atonement of Christ does us no
good unless we share It with him. The
barbaric, pagan and diabolical condi
tions In regard to our convict system
will prevail to the end of time until
we unite our lives with that of Christ,
and with Him sacrifice of our time and
life and wealth that thle thing may be
blotted out.”
Congregation Aots.
After the sermon- W. C. Mansfleld
arose snd In a strong statement de
clared that Trinity church Indorsed
every word of the sermon, and then
the congregation, that Ailed the house,
we# asked to express themselves by a
rising vote on this proposition. Dr.
Lee eald he wanted all who would unite
In asking the legislature to blot the In-
famy of the Georgia convict eyetem
from the name of our great etate to
rise up, and, ae If all were one, the
whole congregation stood up.
Dr. Lee urged that the convicts ought
to be taken off the public roads; that
they ought .to be housed In a peniten
tiary. a* In Other etatea. He said that
every convict In Georgia wa* a child
of God, and that It was the duty of the
state to treat them In such a way as
that they might feel that all pity and
mercy had not passed from the hearts
of men. and from the heart of God In
heaven.
Duty of Legislature.
The Georgia legislature cannot af
ford to approve measures which In the
eye# of the civilized world keeps the
commonwealth they represent at a
seml-barbarlc levels he said.
"The tax of every person In Geor
gia had better be Increased by the won
derful sum of IS cents for each Indi
vidual than for all of us to get dubbed
by the people of our sister states as a
lot of heartless. Inhuman drinkers of
our brothers' blood. If the member* of
"The state, their master," he contend
ed, ”l» directly responsible for their
government. Thle duly can not be
transferred. It involves not only the
protection of society and the punlsh-
'ment of the criminal, but his reforma
tion so far as may be possible.
"The penitentiary must not be a uni
versity for culture In crime. It must
be a place where the criminal, still
treated aa a human being, may realise
that he has received justice tempered'
with mercy. Mercy must be shown In
hi# training for usefulness when he re-
f alns his freedom. Any eyetem that
oes not have In view the reformation
of the convict la Inhuman and devil
ish."
Dr. Landrum urged aU hla people to
•peak or write to their representatives
at once and protest against the broker
eyetem.
"The conscience of the whole etate
has been aroused by the heroic revela
tion# of The Georgian, and the good
jieojtle are determined that the foulest
of that ever disgraced the state shall
be wiped out forever," he concluded.

Pastor Moore Memo
rial Arraigns the
System.
"The convict lease system Is a die
grace to our eo-called Christian civil!
ration," declared Rev. Dr. A. R. Hold,
erby at the Moore Memorial church
Sunday morning. He arraigned the
present system In vigorous manner, and
demanded a thorough Investigation by
the. legislature. A portion of his re
marks follow:
"As we have under discussion this
morning the doctrine of ‘good works,’
as viewed from the Scriptural stand
point, It will not be Inappropriate to
speak of the present 'convict lease sys.
tern of Georgia.'
"It Is time that the church were
speaking out against this cruel and
monstrous system. It Is a shame and
a disgrace to our so-called Christian
civilization.
"This thing of bartering poor, unfor
tunate convicts to the highest bidder
and then permitting them to be beaten
and scourged and sometimes killed by
brutal and Inhuman overseers Is hor
rifying in the extreme, and a blighting
stigma upon the fair name of Georgia
"Negro slavery In Its worst form waa
never half so bad as the devilish sla
very of our white brothers. From the
reports of the convict camps now be
fore the legislature, It appears that
this cruel system has been tolerated for
years.
“I therefore protest and this church
enters Its solemn protest against this
crying evil, and In the name of God and
our common humanity we demand upon
the part of the legislature that this
fiendish system be abolished and our
beloved state be freed forever from this
withering eui'se."

10 SAVE TOE LIFE
TWO OLDEST MEN
Instead Some of Lookers-On
Stole Her Purse
and Hat.
CHICAGO, July 13.—While 200 men
and boys sat or stood within a com
paratively few feet of her, and In sight
of nearly 1,000 others, an unidentified
woman fell or rolled purposely from the
north pier at the mouth of the Chicago
river yesterday afternoon and drowned.
Altho she screamed repeatedly,for as
sistance, no( a hand In the crowd that
watched her struggles In the water was
lifted to save her. Instead, one of the
gasera stole the women's purse end hat
which she had placed on the pier beside
her end fled. A half hour latar the
body was taken from the water by Cap.
tain Carland and hie men from the life
saving station.
Statements of witnesses differ as to
whether the woman Intentionally hurled
herself Into the lake or whether ahe
fell over on her side and then rolled
Into the water as If stricken by the
heat.
Captain Carland says the men could
have saved the woman, and further
•aid that they acted like a pack of dogs.
too fearfully afraid of the labor vote,
or some other vote, to redeem us from
• system by which we have been dis
graced for years; If they canot see their
way clear to provide for a penitentiary
for our convicts, then let them leaee
nut our prisoners again Just for one
year. By that time a new legislature
will be on the stage of action, and the
friends In Georgia of decent, humane
methods of dealing with our convicts
will have lime to canvass the state for
a better order of procedure. This Is to
put them on notice that we propose to
appeal directly to the people, and to
express the hope that the time-serv
ers In Georgia will for the future be
retired to the walks of private life. Our
people are at laet thoroughly awake.
For heaven's sake, we pray the present
legislature not to tie us up to live more
year* of Infamy. We have had enough
of It already to make the heart of every
decent person In the state sick. The
present legislature did well to pass the
prohibition law, hut we had far better
have high license for liquor, with no
near-beer and a thousand other subter
fuges and duplicities, than to have this
villainous convict lease system fastened
on us. If we are eo dead poor that we
must either have money from the bar
room! or from the blood of the poor,
unfortunate human beings, who have
fallen Into crime, then give us bar
room money and take the prisoners out
of the hell of convict lease camps. I
firmly believe we can all manage to
live decently, and simply, and rellg-
ouely until we die. without either bar
room money or convict lease money.
Better Saloon Money.
But If our deep and awful poverty
as a stats shuts us up either to get
money from liquor license, or from
licensing a lot of Inhuman contractors
to extract money from the blood and
agony of the most unfortunate portion*
of our population, then we had better
take license money from the ealoons.
We can never afford to take much
unction to our souls for being prohibi
tionists. If at the same time w# crimi
nally Identify ourselves with a system
of treating our prisoners aa malignant
and mean and black as the devil him
self could fasten on us. Some worldly,
wise, practical, ten-cent edition of hu
manity. living up to hie eyes In earth!-
ON SAME EVENING
Not content with preaching an elo
quent sermon against Georgia’s convict
system, Rev. W. T. Hunnicutt, pastor
of the Payne Memorial Methodist
church, appointed a committee of his
congregation Sunday to wait upon the
members of the legislature from Fulton
county and urge them to light for the
abolition of the evils which have been
shown to exist.
At the morning service the pulpit was
occupied by another pastor, but at the
conclusion of this sermon Dr. Hunni
cutt addressed his congregation and
spoke briefly on the convict system.
But at the evening service, he waa at
his beet and he devoted the entire time
to an eloquent portrayal of the evils
and horrors which exist In the chain-
gangs of the stats.
Dr. Hunnicutt is no new convert to
the opposition to Georgia's penal sys
tem. For years he has been opposed
to It, and he has often taken occasion
to denounce It. He has made a close
study of. the question and was there
fore well qualified to .discuss It and
urge Its abolition. With others, Dr.
Hunnicutt agrees that any system
which has for Its aim the making of
money from the hire and sale of con
victs Instead of aiming at reformation
la wrong and Inhuman and he brought
out all his points eloquently.
The men appointed by Dr. Hunnicutt
are well known men who will havq
weight with legislators. The following
members of his congregation compose
the committee: C, R. Beachara, George
H. Sims, W. F. Griffln and Jesse M.
Wood.
Both Were Confederate Vet
erans of High
Standing.
MONTEZUMA, Gs„ July 13.—J. E.

inent citizens, died last evening after
