Since then the people have been .
little more watchful. So whom the

dispose Of the Atlantic and North

citizens on guard in the interests Of
the peoples property, and suddenly
and Unexpectedly found themselve'
he'd in check by q restraining or

last week and the Denomination
Of the deal was postponed till Feb

FOR A STATE REF0RMAT0RY.

The State Needs Such m Institution-The
General Assembly in Its Next Session
Should Pass . Bill Providing For Its
Establishment.
A bill has recently been introduced
in the Georgia Legislature for the
establishment of a State RefOrmatOry.
This bill is receiving the hearty COM
mendati0n Of the press. The bill
before the Legislature is well drawn,
and is as follows:
ut proposes to establish the Georgia
|ref0rmat0ry; to provide for establish
ing branches of the same in several
counties of the State; to provide for
the government and control of said
reformatory; to prescribe its purpose
to authorize the judge and courts of
this State in certain cases to sentence
offenders against the laws to said re-
formatory in lieu Of the chaingangs,
prisons, jails and penitentiary to
| cation and reformation of persons so
| of the State treasury for the establish
ment of said reformatory, and for
other purposes.
"The object and purpose of said re-
format0ry shall be for the correction
and reformation of the morals OF
youthful offenders against the laws OF
State and for their physical, mental
and moral development by the means
and in the manner hereinafter speci.
fed.
"Said reformatory shall be managed
and conducted by board Of sever
managers, appointed by the Governor
who shall receive no compensation ex'
cept necessary travelling expenses"
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-12-10

In another column 10 IN articls
from the Slver-Knight Waterman
on the greed Of railroad corpora
tons. It will be noticed that when
the prices Of farm products advance
the railroad companies always take
advantage Of it BY advancing the
freight rates. They also charge

roads this would not be done an
the farmer would receive the full
benefit of the advance in prices.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-12-10

North Carolina is also sadly IN need
of just such an institution and the in
coming Legislature should see to it
that bill is passed to establish re-
f0rmatory for youthful criminals.
Many judges and grand juries in the
State have called attention to the fact
that our present primitive system has
no decent or humane provision for the
treatment of youthful lawbreakers.
To send boy to the penitentiary
where hardened criminals are his only
associates is to adopt about the most
effective means of booming him to q
life Of crime. The hope of reformation
swell nigh shut out from the youths
whom we now send to the penitentiary.
The history Of refOrmatOries like that
which the North Carolina legislature
will be asked to establish proves that
the theory on which they are estab-
lished is practical. A large per cent.
of youths who are sent to these in
situations are permanently turned
from lives of sin. They become law
abiding and often useful citizens. One
great object of our penitentiary sys-
TEN is the reformation of criminals.
That is to say this should be so, but
the chance Of the improvement of any
| person, especially one who is young
and easily impressed by surroundings,
is pitifully small in q changing or a
convict camp.
Every consideration of good states
manship as we'll as humanity demands
the passage Of a State reformatory
bill.
