ed in the United States courts IN
the southern states, says the Savan-
nah News, is attracting consldera-
attention. The position taken by
Senator Jones is the correct one.
About all of those in the south who
are sentenced in the United States
courts are guilty of violations of the
internal revenue laws. They ought,
of course, to be punished, but there
i no reason why they should be
subjected to cruel and excessive
punishment. The punishment in
ficted upon them, however, Is cruel
and excessive because many OF them
cannot stand the northern climate.
a much larger percentage of them,
therefore, dies than ought to. As
they belong TO the south, and are
tried in the south, they ought to be
imprisoned in the south. While
there is no disposition to make light
of the Offensas for which the distil-
Icrs of Illicit whisky are guilty, it
cannot be denied that there is a
great deal more sympathy for them
than there is for murderers, swim
dlers and petty thieves, but they
are shown less consideration than
the worst class of criminals. They
are not only sent 10 prisons which
are situated in a climate to which
they are unaccustOmed, and to
which many of them succumb,
but they are removed SO far away
from their homes that they never
get to see any of their friends or
relatives during their terms of SEN
tence. They are deprived of the
sympathy that would help them to
bear their punishment. 1t is not
improbable that Senator Jones
speech will lead to reform in this
matter.

The experiment of damming the
headwaters of the Mississippi 1T adj
vantageous points in order to ac-
cumulate a store of water sufficient
to keep the lower river at a naviga-
bic stage during the summer months
Is demonstrated success. Three
dams, commenced in 1882, were
completed Tor use this year, with a
storage capacity IN the natural lake
reservoirs for holding the surplus
water of 5000, 100000 cubic feet.
The basin drained into these rescr-
Volrs covers an area of over 5000
square miles. When the water be
low St. Paul fell so as to interrupt
navigation in the beginning Of hu-
gust, the supply in the reservoirs
was drawn upon and the river kept
at navigable stage. After the re-
servoir system is completed it will
have the double value of checking
to some extent the disastrous floods
in the upper river when there is too
much water, and of eking out the
supply when there is too little.

Pine HILL, Dec, 10, 1885.
To all whom it may concern: /
notice in the Echo of November %,
a letter published concerning the
death of Robert Kelly. 1t read as
follows: "We understand that Mr..
Simpson Wright, brother-in-law of
Robert Kelly, who committed suicide
in the Pine Hill neighborhood, says
that Kelly told his sister, Simpsons
wife) that he had been in trouble in
Texas, and that he never would be
taken; that he would take strichnine
first; and that he always kept bot
tie of it in his pocket to be used in
case of emergency"
/ note here the above is false; aud
as to my telling any one that Kelly
told his sister, (my wife, that he was
carrying strichnine for the purpose
above named, is in error. ] never
said no such a thing, and be never
told my wife no such words. / guess
the above was taken from what / told
to party in confidence. ] said my
wife told me he had bottle of strich-
nine when be come TO my house; and
| give it as my opinion he was carry
ing it for that purpose. And as to
the trouble he was IN, it was nothing
more than killing an unlawful horse
belonging to an Indian, that was
troublesome about the place. And as
the Indian would not take the horse
away from the premises, Kelly killed
the horse, and that is the trouble be
was in; And as I feel it my duty to
correct the above, ] ask the Echo to
please publish this.
