THE PENiTEN TlARY HAS FOUND A De.
FENDER.

There IS one man in North Carolina
who has come to the front in defense OF
the penitentiary. The Winston Rcpub
Ecan OF this week contains a half col
umn communication of commentator
Of Superintendent John r. Smith and
b. z. Reinhardt who is in charge OF
she Wadesboro farm. Writing of Su-
perintendent Smith he says:
"As for Col. Smith, let his faults
se what they are, he is a gentleman
with a kind and generous heart who
seems 10 sympathize with the prison
srs."
Speaking of Capt. Reinhardt, the writ
er says:
"And now about Capt. r. p. Rein
Aardt, more humane and Christian
gentleman never lived. Every one
under his charge prisoners, guards
and oyerseers all like him, and as
for his treatment to me | say from
ny heart, God bless him, his family
and all his friends. also last, but
act least his party
The writer is well qualified to speak.
He has been in a position to know the
inside management of the penitentiary,
and therefore writes as one enjoying
secular advantages. The value Of ones
Ssnmendation depends upon the oppor-
sunity they have had OF forming just
conclusions. The Republicans cores

cation with the officers of the peniten-
tary, and if he is not competent to de-
6en0 their management it is difficult to

81 am q years old and my name
q Samuel Haden. On the 23rd OF
November, 1896, l was SENTENCE: To
= term of twelve months in the North
earOlina penitentiary."
Samuel Haden is the only man who
has come forward in defense of Smith
& Go. 1t is true that they paid a news
paper fifty dollars for a big puff, but
Sans is evidently written without pay
and purely as an expression of apprecia-
ton Of sympathy received while N the
Gen. 1t may be that the reason the pen
.Aestia.y officials sympathize 80 deeply
with the convicts is that they might
some day be in stripes themselves.
