THE pRNIrENTIARY PROBLEM.
Another Reason Why It Should be
Solved Quickly,

CAMDEN COUNTY, GEORGIA, Aug. l.
Editor Morning Ne,os: The recent killing
of the escaped convict, John Mitchell, by a
sheriffs posse, is an additional reason to the
many previously existing why the next
legislature should seek to solve the impor-
tant but troublesome penitentiary problem
and no longer permit the sentence of our
courts to be nullified and the majesty OF
the law brought into contempt If 1t is
proven that the recognized evils are in
herent in the present system, then it should
be abolished. If the lessees be the guilty
parties, then they should be held to a rigid
accountability. There are, however, so
many instances on record where prisoners
have escaped under conditions which would
seem to preclude the possibility of their
doing so, that it would be unfair always to
blame the lessees. But this convict three
times succeeded in effecting his escape after
very brief detention, his lie see apparently
giving himself very little trouble to recap
ture him, beyond Offering an insig liacant
reward; but coolly devolved that dangerous
duty upon our county officials,
who are not professional thief
catchers, and who are averse to
taking human life or losing their own-that
they have escaped with having only one of
their number wounded is most fortunate,
for Mitchell never hesitated to use his
weapons, and was always we'll armed.
They have also been subjected to much
exposure and the loss of valuable time.
DOUBTLESS nearly every county in the state
has similar complaints to make and should
instruct their representatives to endeavor
to put stop to them. We are perfectly
willing that the so-called philanthropists
be allowed to establish the reformation and
to carry out their charming theories, pro-
vided the life of the convict be made one of
punishment and not more comfortable and
desirable than that of the free and honest
man. CAMDEN

BUSINESS OF SAVANNAH
WILL BE ISSUED THURSDAY, SEPT. 6, 1888.

The usual complete and comprehensive expo
the Annual Trade Review, will be issued from the
office of the MORNING News, on Thursday, Sept
8. This edition has been for many years one of
the features Of the opening Of the busy season
in this city, and is looked forward to by the bus

The annual review will give not only the sta
tisticts of cotton, naval stores, rice, lumber and
other products, and the data concerning the
wholesale business of the CITY, and its manu-
features and other industries, but it will con-
tain an interesting account Of what has been
done in the city during the past year, and tell
what its enterprising citizens have in hand for
the next. The closing year has been a very
prosperous one, but that upon which we are
entering promises to be even more prosperous.
matter that is Of the greatest Importance,
and one that deserves especial notice, is that
Savannah is no longer a place that strangers
accessible seaside resorts the city has become a
sanitarium for people who come to enjoy the
sea breezes
And the coming year; what Of it2 Is it not
filled to the brim" with the highest anticipa-
tions' There is to be a magnificent hotel, the
finest in the south, new county court house
and a new public building. There are to be
more railroads. more homes and more public
improvements
No year in the history of Savannah has been
brighter than that which has just closed. The
city's growth in population and wealth, the
public improvements which have been and are
still being made, the erection Of immense bust
ness houses, the Inauguration of new industries.
the extensions made by the two great railroads
which transport the products Of Georgia and
adjoining states to our wharves, all prove that
Savannah is not only growing, but very

Sheftall malpractice case, who has
been in Jail here since his return

ago, was turned loose yesterday and he
went back to Columbia last night. Shinall

delphia but the most of the time he was In
Columbia, S. C. He said that
Treasurer Russell paid him $500 at
Bath and told him that the money was

in Columbia by "Nez" Taylor, and on that

lated the interview that he had with Con-
stable Wetherhorn aud Justice Shefftall, in
the latter's office.

Local ana General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

Commissioner Talcott has sent out notice
calling meeting of the rate committee of
the Southern railway and steamship as
ISOLATION, on Tuesday. Aug. Z.
1t is rumored at Gainesville, Fla, that i'm
portant changes are soon to be made in the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad,
and that it will be extended in a north
westerly direction.
Rumor has it that the directors of the
Atlanta and Florida railroad have deter
mined TO extend their line at once from
Fort Valley to Waycross and thence to
Brunswick, with branch to Jacksonville.
The veteran conductor, W. L. Griffin, of
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way. who was pulling the bsll cord on the
Inflated fast mail train that crashed through
the trestle at Hurricane creek, near Black
shear last spring, has been visiting friends
in Birmingham, Ala.
Col. NJ. Slaughter, Assistant Commits
sioner Of the Southern Passenger associa-
ton, has made the following rates of fare to
the Grand Lodge and encampment of Odd
Fellows at Gainesville, Ga, Aug. IL to TO-
Each person must purchase a first-class
ticket, and pay full fare going to Gaines
vile, who will be returned at one-third the
regular fare. Ladies will be required to pay
full fare both ways Tickets on sale at
agencies, beginning on Aug. 10, and good
until twenty-four hours after adjournment
of Grand Lodge.
For a number of years the headquarters
of the Southern railway and steamship
association, or ''pool Office" as it was more
commonly known, was located at Mac IN,
Virgil Powers, general commissioner. 1t
was recently moved to Atlanta. The disso-
luton of the pol has been talked of from
time to time, and the danger is still impend-
ing. The Louisville and Nashville railroad,
one of the largest systems in the pool, has
withdrawn, and, in consequence, a
much smaller clerical force is needed.
At the close of business Tuesday twenty
employees received notices Of dismissal.
They came in the shape of letter signed
by Commissioner TalcOtt, and read as fol-
lows: "The agreement under which the
Southern railway and steamship association
has been working ends to-day, and the
new association, which begins tomorrow,
includes fewer members, and will require a
smaller force of clerks. | cannot, there
fore, avail of your services after to-day"
The attitude of the Louisville and Nash
vile and the Kansas City, Memphis and
Birmingham railroads is exciting the at
tention Of TIE railroad men of the south
Just now. Neither of the companies mel
toned are members of the Southern rail-
way and steamship association, and not be-
ing bound by the rules can cut rates when
ever they want aud to whatever point they
want. AS it is now, they are keeping very
close, each Watching the other like hawk,
and both ready to engage in a hand to
hand scriminage over rates from the west
on the shortest notice 1t is expected that
the near future will more fully develop the
course each road will take in the matter, but
nothing is definitely settled as vet.

Judge Russell's Friends Stirred Up
Over Rumors of Another Candidate
for the Senate-Their Delegation
Made Up-"Bob" Smith Looking After
His Interests-W. 6. Charlton, Esq,
for Presidential Elector-at-Large.
Politically speaking, yesterday was a
very quiet day. The workers we're out, but
they were on the still hunt. The canvass
for representatives mas wed down TO
four men. Capt. Gordon s slated for the
head of the ticket. There aDe but two
other places on the ticket, leaving the fight
practically between Col. Reilly, William
Clifton and Maj. Ryals, There are only
two DAYS before the mass meeting
and whatever is done will have to be done
in a hurry. Mr.. Clifton's friends are act
lively at work They say that unless a law
yer is sent from Chatham the Eastern
judicial Circuit cannot be represented In the
judiciary committee,
The senatorial canvass is more active than
that for representatives. Judge Russells
friends are making hard fight A meet
ing was held last night at Metropolitan
hall, and resolutions were passed providing
for an instructed Russell delega-
ton to the Eden convention. A
committee was appointed to draft
the resolutions TO be submitted TO
the mass meeting on Monday night. The
movement to send J. R. Saussy, Esq. to the
senate is causing considerable stir in Judge
Russelrs camp.
R..F. C. Smith and father, Of Bryan coun-
ty, were in the city yesterday talking up
Bryans claims to the senatorship. Bob"

mass meeting Monday night, and is expected
toSpeak. He is an active candidate for the
senatorship and is emphatic in his claims for
the nomination
The resolutions TO be presented to the
mass meeting naming the delegation to the
gubernatorial convention will most likely
instruct the delegates to vote for Gov
Gordon's denomination. Walter g. Charl
ton, Esq, will be supported for presidential
elector at large from the state. Mr.. Charl
ton is not making a canvass for the place,
but it is pretty generally understood that
