Female Convicts In Georgia.

Equal rights in Georgia goes to the extent OF
farming out the woman convictS of the penitenti-
ary as the men are farmed out, and without
respct to color. The penitentiary, moreover. de-
mands from the leSseeS as much for the women
as for the men. The condition under which this
is done seem about as absolute q test of the value
of men and woman's work as the history of labor
has furnished. The woman do the same sort OF
work as the men. They dig, hoe, pillow, quarry
rocks and last spring when one OF the state can
ais had to be deepened, women did the work.
One of the employers of woman convict labor IS
Captain Maddox, who has a plantation of 5000
acres
Captain Maddox employs only women and has
agreed to take all women conylcts on the
hands of the state. These women are in gangs
of 10 under the charge of guard. They cultivate
cotton. corn. wheat, oats, grass and run mill
They work from sunrise to sunset. Each OF the
GA convicts has a cot to herself and a change OF
clothing and they seem to be better treated thar

Go Slow.

Debs and DebSiSm must be knocked
Out.-St. Louis be-DemOcrdt.
Well; who is going to do the knock
ing? Is there any better reason for
all capitalists and corporations to
side with Pullman and Pullmanism
than there is for all laborerS to side
with DebS and DebSism? The strik-
ing of money forced the striking Of
labor, and If either is right they are
both right. Also remember that the
physical force of the nation is in the
ranks Of labor which creates all that
money buys, besides creating the
money itself. To talk of putting
down this strike by force is for the
hog to fight the man that feeds him
and be killed and eaten himself.
Money without men would be help
less. There are still Goals in the
ashes Of freedom that need but a
breath to start a cOnglagrtiOn.

JERRY SIr1PSON REDIVIyUS.
Immense Cheers His Reappearance
in the House.

Special Correspondence, Noncontormist.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2S.-Jerry
Simpson walked into the house on
Friday. Mr.. Hatch was making a
speech on the anti-OptiGn bill. All
at once Mr.. Hatch was startled by a
tremendous cheer. 1t started in the
middle aisle and was instantly taken
up by both sides, and swelled into an
ovation such as seldom been awarded
to any man in congress. Jerry smiled
and bowed to the right and left and
then took his seat. This is the man
the associate press declared as good
as dead. In the evening called
upon him at his house. He was in a
splendid humor, aud in every respect
the same Jerry Simpson as Of old.
"Since | went to the springs" he
said, 81 gained pound daytime
teen pounds in nineteen days. That
is as good as the best bred Kansas
steer could do"
A moment after noticing that pecu-
liar twinkle in his eye, | surmised
there was more fun on hand.
81 was just thinking" he went on,
what huge :oke have on the Re-
publicans in my district. When their
nominating convention was held they
thought | was as good as dead, so
they went to work and passed reSolu-
tiOns Of coincidence, praising me to
the skies. Now, when the fight gets
good and hot out there, and they be-
gin to abuse me in the old-fashioned
way, | will just pull out those resOlu-
tiOnS and read them in my best style
of delivery"
Good luck to Jerry. Long may he
move.
