TREATMENT OF coNv1crs.

The question of convict labor and
the proper treatment Of convicts is
one of the most perpIexing and ex-
citing questions now sgitating the
Georgia Legislature. The venera-
bic Rev. DR.. A. K. McAnslly, of
the St. Louis Christian Adv cate,
has this to say on the subject Of the
proper treatment of criminals.
which is worthy of due considers
ton:
The delicate sensibilities of some
of our sckiy sontiment4lists have
been wonderfully wrought up OF
late because Of the character OF the
punishment inflicted on convicted
and condemned criminals. We are
as much opposed to "cruel and nn-
natural punishment IS man can
be. But our federeal constitution
forbids the iphiotion of these, and as
general thing our criminal la is
in harmony with justice and as
merciful as Justice will allow, and we
desire to ask OF our over sensitive
who are 80 shocked
at what they call the degradatiouand
Illuminating character of certain
forms of punishment known to our
law, whether the degradation and
humiliation consist in the punish
ment or 10 the crime for which the
is inflicted 7 which is III
II it be the crime, then it is not in
the crime. Our opinion has been,
and is if it is crime that adegrades,
and the degradation is in no way in
crease by the inhiction of the mer~
tied punishment. If some of our
soft hearted women, and soft headed
men who pow WOW so much over
things of this chaacter would turn
then attention to the scores and hun
dred of boys, ay, and girls also, who
dirty and ragged, range the street,
learning to smoke and drink, to
curse, swear lie and steal, and labor
to save them from life of crime,
iafamy and wretchedness, their time
would be better spent than in sigh
ing over the imaginary degradation
of the punishment due to, and inhic'
ted upon criminals.

Killed by Lightning

Mr.. F. NJ Waldrup, who lives near Shi-
loh Camp Ground, Cherokee county, had
his household plunged in grief last Monday
afternoon by the death of his little son, aged
six years, by lightning. The little boy was
out in the yard playing near the well shed,
when a bolt of lightning struck post,
splntering it into fragments, and then
struck the little boy killing him instantly.
This is sad calamity to Mr.. w, for it
was only about four months ago he lost his
wife, and this recent atfliction seems more
than he can bear
