Education aud Crime.

Editor Of The Times:
Sir,-Reading your article in Sundays
issue on the manly and statesmanlike
message OF the Governor OF Georgia |
was struck with your remark that the
increase OF crime pointed out in Georgia
was. 'inspite Of the fact that within
the period mentioned the State Of Georgia
has expended 100000 ON negro educa-
ton" This coincident increase OF crime
and increase Of expenditure on education
is not peculiar 10 Georgia or 10 the negro
population. II is a condition Of things
which applies 10 the whole country. Ac-
cording TO the census reports we had one
prisoner behind the bars for every S442
OF population in 1880. In 1890 the ratio
had risen TO one in 757. BY this time,
according 10 the best information | can
obtain, It is now probably one In 800. Sta
tistics show that I'm Massachusetts,,
where there are no negroes, or very few,
one in every POS inhabitants oyer sixteen
years OF age is in prison. The floating
criminal population Of this country Is

the facts as TO the increase IN criminality
throughout the land. Not until the teach

take the name OF the Lord thy God In
vain: thou shalt not break the Sabbath;
thou shalt not steal thou shalt not XIII,
thou shalt not bear false witness, not
because man has said so In his code or
laws or society has said so for It's own
protection. but because the Great Jeho-
yah has said so and because He has said
that He will punish the infraction or MS

rage in seven years. The bride was MISS
Pearl Brown and the groom is Mr.. Jo-

town was I'm a state of fearful suspense.
At last the engagement was announc-
