CORRESPONDENCE WHICH TX
PLAINS ITSELF.

The convicts of Georgia, have for
quite q while been leased TO corpora
tions or individuals, the prices paid by
them being in proportion to the mum
Der of convicts. The legislature of that
State, now in session, has not decided
as yet whether to continue to lease
them or to use them in some profitable
employment for the State
With the view of profting by the
experience of others the Governor of
Georgia writes Governor Russell as
follows:
ATLANTA, GA Nov % 1897.
Coz. D L Russell, Raleigh " c.:
What ls the total value of real estate
and equipment oWned by the State for
penItentiary purposes, and what total
amount for this purchaser
Please wire answer at once.
W. Y. ATKINSON,
Gov. OF Georgia.
Governor Russell sent the following
reply:
RALEIGA, N. O.. Nov % 1897.
"GOU " Y. Atkinson, Atlanta, Ga l.:
The value of real estate, including
the central prison, actually owned, is
approximately million dollars. The
real estate and other property owned
was paid for by a special tax and ep
preparations covering a period of TWEEN
ty years.
In addition to this, the p~enitentiary
leases six farms at a total annual rem
tai of about fifteen Thousand dollars,
which is for the most part a piece Of
j0bbery.
Until the last legislature an annual
appropriation has been made for it's
support, and for the last four years the
p~enitentiary has cost the State, over
and above earnings, one hundred and
four thousand dollars,
Our last legislature made nc contin.
gent appropriation; but u present
management seems likely to pay the
debts of the preceding administration,
all expenses this year and a net sum in
the State treasury.
The aggregate expenditures from
1875 20 1895 were 81. 657, 600; the aggre-
gate earnings for the same tlme 81. 14O,
600; net expenditures, 81, 517, 900.

LIE L

All our readers have doubtless heard
Of Senator Buffers now, famous,
speech at Rocky Mount, November
10Th. All too have doubtless read that
alleged quotation from that speech,
which has been doctored and twisted
into a terrible bugaboo.
Truth, however, has some habits
similar to those of a boomerang. Al
most a score of men who heard the
speech in question have sworn that
this alleged quotation misrepresents
Senator Butler, and places a wrong
construction upon his words. Any
man can readily see the difference be.
tween saying that agents OF Shy
lock hire worthless negroes to throw
rocks in q Democratic possessions for
political effect and saying hat Demo
Gratis hire negroes to commit rape.
Yet to hire a negro to do either of these
is to hire him to commit an outrage"
-outrages, however, Of totally differ
ent nature.
In addition to the afidavits published
in the Caucasian last week, the follow
ing from the Rocky Mount p oeaix, a
non partisan paper, brands the charge
against Senator Butler as a malicious
~falsehood. This clipping appeared in
the PEenix Of last Friday, Dec. 3rd.
"a good many Democratic papers
have criticized very severly Senator
Buffers speech here on October 18th,
"says the Ptoenix," alleging that he
said Democrats would hire negroes to
commit outrages for political effect,
several of our best citizens have also
stated that this was in substance what
he said. We heard Senator Buffers
speech on that day and our recollection
ia that he said Democratic papers tried
to make political capital out Of the hor
rible crimes that we're being com.
mitted, charging them to the Populist
party, Notwithstanding the fact that
the same crimes we're being committed
IN other states that were under Demo
cratic rule. In another part Of his
speech, he said monopoly agents on

WHERE ARE TaRY Atm

After adopting the resolutions of

obituary column, the Democratic State
Executive Committee adopted the fol
lowing resolution, which was intro

to vote with US in the next election and

BRIEFS r o BILLvlLLE.

These autumn days are so still that
you can hear a bill collectors footsteps
a mile away.
The President was kind enough to
give us q first class Thanksgiving day,
but no turkey.
It's no use to tell a fellow to look on
the bright side when it's raining, and
he's losE his umbrella.
They tell US that 'prosperity will set-
tie many things" Up to date, however,
it has not settled any bills.
At this eason our hearts go out to
all the poor and needy, but we are wise
enough to keep our hands on our
pockets.
Many Of the poets who are singing
the joys of cold weather never had to
split wood when the thermometer was
as far down as a man without a
dollar.
A Republican exchange informs us
that this country is on the upgrade. "
That may be; but it is unfortunate that
there are not enough engines behind it
to push it to the top.
h DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING
The turkey was tough, but thank the
Lord, it was still turkey!
Ten turkeys failed to "go around"
on Thanksgiving Day. All our cred
itOrs took dinner with US.

that if every Allianceman will do what
he can the aggregate will amount to a

of the Alliance can. We are poor
true, but we support these individual

WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT.

When thieves fall out honest men
get their dues" san old and true say
ing. Not long ago the New York
Herald and the Sun fell out about some
thing and the fun began. The Herald
up and told that the Sun had recently
received SIS, coo for writing prosperity
editorials, Ia other words, writing edi
torIals telling how rapidly q times are
getting good. The Herald says it re-
celved an Cffar to do the same work,
but declined. We presume that the
space rates offered the Herald we're
considered too low. But the thieves
fell out and now honest men have a
chance to know that all the rot going
out in the gold standard papers abous
booming good times is false, and it is
inspired by the bankers syndicate,
They have to pay to get this stuff in
the leading dailies, but they get it into
the columns of the Weeklies at next to
no cost. We notice that n weekly
gold standard paper in this State is
publishing the stuff in supplement
form. The supplement- contains reading
matter other than prosperity" rot,
and, we presume it is furnished free in
order to disseminate the goldbug rot as
widely as possible. But all the world
knows it is q lie.

THAT LIMBLEss COTTON FAKE

We notice some papers here in North

from the Atlanta Constitution and At

of the Jackson Llmb!ess cotton. Some
may think it improper in US to reprove
them as we did the same ourselves.
But such is not the Ease. AS soon as
we discovered that we had been de
ceived, we did our best to expose the
humbug.
Since then we have received propo
sitions Offering a compensation if we
would agree to publish some of these
yarns" and a plan whereby we could
make $50 by humbugging readers,
and making them believe that the cot
ton was the wonder The Constitution
and Journal pretend it vas.
Now, if the owners of the seed can
afford to pay us for simply copying the
falsehoods which these journals pub
lished, what must they have paid these
two great Atlanta weekIies to manu-
facGure such a monster fake and there.
