The success id the prosecution of the Anarchists in Chicago has, no doubt, driven many of the nneonvim - 1 ed wretches to more congenial climes. ' But there should be no green tields and stil lwnters for Anarchists in America. They should he limited down like wolves and destroyed, w herever found. There has already been too much delay in the case of the Chicago convicts, They fairly tried and found guilty, and the and the sooner the righteous sentence of the conrt is executed the better will it be lor the coiuitay. 1! is doubtful if ever a nation ex isted divided into two politicial par ties of so near equal strength as ours his been for the past quarter centu ry % Many issues and questions have arisen in politics of our country, but none of them seem to effect any disin tegragation of consequence in either party. Attempts have and are being made to organize new parties upon now ideas and questions. Prohibition, Liquor, Labor, Tariff, and Green backers have each fought against the present stßta of politics. Each one either is or has been the ’’comming” or leiidiiiS issue. Something must arise of a more serious ami moment * ous netuie ynt to disrupt either of the present political parties. A Deacon and a Chestnut Bell. The chestnut bell lias made its ap pearance in Thomson!, and one of its admirers has been making some ex periments witli it out of town. On Sunday last this sap-headed youth attended services at one ot our coun try churches, and when tire congrega tion commeeced tosing Old Hundred, sounded his bell. The first ringing only created surprise, but when the second verse of tho grand old hymn was starsed, and the hell .tang agein, a horney listed deacon quietly march ed down the aisle, took the deluded youth by the northeast cornor of the left ear and waltzed him to the door, then the good deacon contrated his piety and indignation in the toe of his hoot, and lifted the young man out iu the beautiful autumn weather legardless of the damage to his Sun day pants.—McDuffie Jouraal.

Few pitople have an idea of the real nature of the Georgia prison camps, where several hundred prisoners were recently in a state of mutiny foj al leged mistreatment. The following description from the pen of a gentle man who lias visited them and made a study of the prison system of the country, will be of interest. On the northwest corner of Georgia lies the country of Dade, l’his is known to the Heightening regions as the free State of Dade, owing not only to the wild and mountainous character ol tlie region, whose few and scattered inhabitants are in keeping with their snrrounDings, but becarse during the w ar of the rebellion they openly seed ed from the State ot Georgia and the Confederacy, ami managed to secure a freedom which they virtually mantain to-day. Through the country extends the soul hern prolongation of the Al leghany coal fields, the workable beds of which are near the sumit of the high and almost accessible mountains In this wild region are s'tuaied the camps whore the convicts arc. ’em ployed in mining and coking tlVcoal. Tho prison camps a.ie themsfclves, there being i othing like them in civilized conn ries, except Siberia, save in ono m two of the neighboring States. They .are the worst form of the Southern prison system, wit h is undoubtedly tlie most inhuman and barbarous in America. This system is a result oi the impoverishment of the Southern *i>aies. It i* distinguished from the other three systems of tho United States chiefly in this, that the entire personal control of tlie prisoners is relinqu -hed to the contractor, who. in consideration ot so much a year for the entiie convict body, takes them, feeds, clothes, guards and msintains them, and in return makes all he can out of them. The only real responsibility to the Sta*o is to pay the amount annually agreed npm. In no other prison system in the Unit ed States, is the State's control over the fond clothing, medical attention and discipline of the prisoner so com pletely relinquished. N’o prisoner is ever turtle 1 over for a day’s labor to the eotttr I'ctit exeept with the sanc tion uj the States immediate t gents, who at all times have his bodily caie in their hands, Snell is the theory of the Southern lease system of con vict labor It is seen that the marg in for abuse is enormousr but what ate the tacts? Without exaggeration these abuses are the most outrageous that ever blackened a people’s history. These lesses, usually men of gieat in fluence in political lite, have within their hands with no real responsibility, the entire control of the lite and death of any wretch who may be confined to their keeping. The prisoner is looked upon and treated merely as a source or money makiKg, and he is woikc I to his ut most, upon the cheapest and most unsanitary food, scantily -and im properly clothed and housed, chained fifty iu a gang in the most unhy gienic manner, mentally and phys ically, that can be imagined. The death rata is seldom less than ten per cent ot the population and it often excoeds twenty. The deaths are usu ally from chronic dysentery, the re sult of improper sanitation, consump tion and other pulmonary complaints, the result of improper raiumeut, sliel ter and ventilation. The Dade ounty mines practi cally consist of three prison camps two np >n the mountain top, at Bustle Rock and Cole City, respectively, and one in the valley. These camps con sist of a huge stockade of logs sto< d side by side around a square, in which tho prisoners sleep’ Stationed around the clearing are little boxes, in each of which stands a brutal guard, with a heavily loaded shot-gun. who too often murders some vile wretch while seeking the freedom of the w’oods so temptingly near him. The convicts are mostly ignorant negroes and low whites. Upon their entrance to the camp each one is given a striped suit and a shackle is riveted around his ankle. Attached to this is a trace chain, in the end of which is a small ring. The chain is never removed until his death, unless by accident he survives his term of sentence. He eats his food—corn bread and bacon—in a pail, and is put to work in damp mines or at the door of the hot coke ovens. At night a log chain is inn through the ring on the end of the one attached to his •ankle, together with fifty others and its end locked on tire outside of the 1 ui’ding. These fifty wretches chair ed in a bunk aro allowed to indulge in every evil such associations can bring, No schools or attempts at reform aie ever made Tho hours when idle a.ie spens in the bunks gambling and bias phetning and indulging in eveiy li cense that the length ot their chain will permit. Afire would cremate the whole lot in a few- moments, lor thorc would be no escape. The hospital is a miserable place that would make a wall man nick to gaze upon, and usually kills tlie side who enter. Not a comfort or a con venieuce, and the ghastly crowd of consumptives and typhoids are enough to turn a heart of stone to see them them, where m tlia healthiest atmosphere of world there is no shad ow or excuse for their eubtence ex cept the vilest aVl unsani tary conditions.—Fort Pa > ue Jounr nal (Ala.) The above is the bigest stretch of the imagination on .the convict lease in our county o.i State we have yet seen. We have no idea as to who Mr. Smith’s informant could been, lest it was a tramp. Without commenting upon it, it is unqualifi edly false from hegining to end. Mr. Smith has heretofore threw sim ilar charges at our convict lease sys tem and lcsseess. We would respect fully request and urge him to pay our coal mines a visit, and we will see that he goes away properly in formod on the matter. DIXIE AND JEFF DAVI3. From tho Sunny South. Who dares to nicnnce by hand or tongue Out Southern men for haveing snugs Their virtue* of their cbeiftain? Must tiiey be silent, beonnse for years They fought tne ward, in rage and tears, For liberty, -but in vain? Ko! Some day the mat of Southern blood, Whether or not in battle he stood. Who dares to blnnte Jeff Davis, M ilt be assigned tho tr.tior’s pi. c* t As recreant to home aud acef For the South loves Jeff Davis. Did the'proudJSaxons, in timo of truce, Curse the bravo Sent* for l.ving Ilruc., Their brother and their chieftain? Do not th't English and Scots to-day, Chant the brave deeds in sweetest lay Of dead grace tdough they wero vaine? Scarce one hundred years have gone by Einca proud England proclaimed onjdiigh Uoorge Washington a traitor! lo day his nemo with Felson's is heard, And history waits to »ritc the word - “Of the two he was greater.” What did Washington or Neltonjio, Ot deeds moro brave or deeds mor. true, Tt|on tried to do Jeff Davis? One jought for fredoom, one for his King; Doth fought for country, the main thing, And so did Jeffcrsan Davis. When old Atlantio shall sease to roll, Or the sum*of its sands be told, We’ll cease to praise Jeff Davis. Or whan our mountains shall sink from sight Or (Jod shall change the day to night, We’ll cease to love Jeff Davis. Ye Souther matron*, fear not to tell Your sorts and daughters what befell Your people ano Jeff Davis. Tell them how they starved and r ©ughtand died, Aud in dying, yet always cried, “Fur Dixie and Jeff Davis.” | Jmt “‘DADE NORMAL INSTITUTE B ~~’ yfe- s The Next Term Begins T ULSDAI, A II «U S T IO t li., And Ends FRIDAY, DECK II II E It] £4 t h., 1886.
