2 IslT TO TIE PENTTEN-
ITENTIARY IN TEN
NESSEE.
Gloomy Buildings, Warden in ia
vor of Temperance. Delightful
Religious Services. Thrilling
Testimony as to liquor as pro-
ducer of Crime.

Dark and gloomy stands the old peni-
tentiary OF Tennessee just out of the
city lines of Nashville. Built long be-
fore the war, it is utterly lacking in all
comfort. No regard to ventilation, no
regard for humanity prompted the bull
ing Of this prison wherein for years and
years the couvicts are to live their
dreary lives. This idea must have pre-
dominated; these c)nvicts are cnly con-
victs, any sort of cells will do to
chuck them away in, and SO they made
amy sort" Of cells. Dark narrow little
holes where Gods sweet air can not
come, nor Gods warm sunshine ever
enter. Every ugly old brick in this
hideous penltentiary is one letter in the
record that the Devil is keeping against
inhumaD man. The State of Tennessee,
rich in marbles, rich in Gods treasures,
would add lustre 70 her name it she
would lear down her horribly cruel pen
itentiary and build one that by its hu-
mapity in construction, would allow the
convicts to get a fresh breath OF air.
Imagine if you can the Internal horrors
Of these hundreds Of men, chucked
away in these holes during the long, hot
summer nights absolutely hemmed in
from the air which God has made
for the unjust as we'll as the just, There
is one blessing about this old peniten-
tiary however, and that moves and
breathes in The great loving heart
of the Warden, Mr.. Joseph l.. Pearcey.
For very PHYS sake, last summer, ne
allowed the conviets to remain out OF
their cells until twelve at night, thus
giving them few hours in which to es-
cape the smothering horror. But sup
pose if you will the exceeding torture OF
the eouvicts. should Warden less good,
order them in at the hours usually pre-
scribed? Surely Tennessee will not
let this cruel herding of men go on, but
will erect building in keeping with her
civilization.
A day in November, a kind of day
that seems to sometimes stray from
June, found INC goiug out to this peni-
tentiary. Very unusual services were

vangantage Of that company to con-

to help out worthy enterprise and in
consideration of the free tender
of the convicts to the State.
The earnings, say of half of the con-
victs, on public works would abund-
antly support the other half employed
on the farm and the new buildings.
Thus, in due time would the State be
prepared to discharge its trust in a way
to meet all the demands upon Chris
tian and humane people.
The suggestions of President Hardy
as to rewards, chaplain etc., are
worthy Of his head and heart
Everything about the present syst EN- is
degrading to the convicts, the guards,
the lesses and the State. The prison
ers should pot only be encouraged TO
observe the rules of morality and
decency, but they should be comp1lIed
to do so. No profanity or vulgarity
should be tolerated about the prison.
either in convIcts or employees Regu-
lar reigious services should be had and
prisoners required to appear in the

behavior toward prisoners should not

ishment sho ould be employed when nee

audience, the men were crowded closely
together and under the yellow light from
the kerosene lamps the picture was in
describably impressive. Iron steps
wound up from the bottom floor to
| the top of the building, each story hav-
ling sort of balcony at every landing,
men crowded every step and every bal.
cony. Looking up, there were the hor-
rid stripes, there the sad faces peering
out Of gloom. each tragedy in human
woe. There were the boys, and strange
to say, their faces seemed harder in
i sin than those of the men. We began
our services by asking the convicts to
recite verses Of scripture, overiffty men
quickly responded. Allaround us sound
ed the precious promises from the lips
of men whom the world would scarcely
baYe expected Aught save profanity and
blasphemy. Not only around US, but
all along the iron stairway, and from the
shadows of the balconies far up, came
the blessed words of our Christ. Ten
der love in every word while in the
voices that sounded them was heard
unfathomable sadness.
We joined with them and said our
verses too and that seemed to draw US
all closely together, banishlng the
thought of who was saint and who was
sinner.
After the services, prayer was offered
by the convicts, twelve or more volun-
teering to pray. Altogether it was a
blessed evening. Mr.. Pearoy gave the
men permission to speak with us and
many God bless you" from them was
appreciated highly. While with the con-
Eicts recalled to memory that piteous
petition they sent from the penitentiary
to the voters of Tennessee to vote out
the liquor traffic. A close count has re-
vealed the fact that eight out,of ten in
this penitentiary are there because Of
the liquor traffic. Numbersof men are
there to-day who committed crimes
while too drunk to know what their
deedsmeant
But for the liquor traffic Tennessee
to-day would scarcely need her peniten-
tiary. Down at jackson on the door of
the peniteotiary is board that former
officer had nailed there. 1t bears these
words: No person allowed in here Jun
