Are penitentiaries failure? The
question seems to be answered in the
affirmative by the discovery OF tho fact
that in the Pennsylvania penitentiary
mum Der of convicts have been making
fifty. cent pieces, which are said to be
magnificent specimens of the coiner 9
art, and that a large mum Der of them have
been put in circulation through outside
persons. The milling on the coins is
almost perfect and it is not An easy mat

This new disease is reported by the
Hartwell Sun: "John Banks, colored,
reported sick the other morning. Mr..
Wilcox asked: whats the matter with
you, John?' Don't know, sir de doc
tor says it is yaller Alexanders.'

Some clever statistician in the War
department at Washington has calcu-
lated that forty-eight years must
elapse before the burden Of federal
pensions now carried by the govern
ment is entirely removed. At the
present time, according to the records
Of the war department., there are L.
095, ,62S federal survivors, or nearly
twice the number of men enlisted in
the Confederate army thirty-fve years
ago. On the federal pension rolls
there are now 10000 survivors; and,
instead of being reduced under Presi-
dent McKinley's administration, it is
likely that several thousand more will
be added from the remaining number.
That gross frauds have been commit
ted in the name Of justice to the old
soldiers cannot be denied, and equal
ly is it certain that before many years
have elapsed the government will
open its eyes to the enormity Of these
frauds. Without utteriug word Of
complaint, the south,is perfectly will
ing to bear her part of the burden,
feeling assured that the time is not
far distant when the entire country
will rise up in protest against the
frauds of the pension system. Of the
1,095,6 ,628 survivors now living It'll es-
timated by the above mentioned sta
tistician that 900, ,939 will he living in
1900; 82O,6S7 in 1905; 626,G31 in
1910; 251, 1,727 in 1920; 1908 in 1880;
$40 in 1910 and none in 1915. So far
as the above figures are concerned,
there is very little relief offered to the
present generation Of taxpayers. In
addition to the number of actual sur
vivors on the federal side, there are
219,O0O widows and orphans on the
pension rolls who receive something
over one-third of the $40, GOO, 900 an
nually appropriated by the govern
ment. That the government will be
much longer than forty-eight years in
paying out money to these pensioners
is evident from the fact that on it's
pension rolls there are seven widows
of the American revolution. These
figures are rather discouraging and
show that the burden of federal pen
sions is one that stretches far into the
next century.

Uncle Sam Can't Molest HRS. Mullins.

Mrs. Mullins, who sells whiskey
down in Hancock County, Tein., and
whiskey, too, which bears tie govern
ment seal, has defed Uncle Sam and
his vassals. Mrs. Mullins defiance
carries great weight, for she tips the
scale at $50 pounds, and is proud of
it. She sits all day in her little cabin
by the side of barrel and dispenses
the genial juice Of the golden grain at
so much a tin cup. Her house is at
the end of trail up the mountains
where no wagon could ever go. All
the machinery Of the United States
government seems powerless to pre-
vent her from dispensing this mad
dening moonshine.
Why do not deputy marshals arrest
her? you ask. That is easier said
than done. She will not come out Of
her own accord, and it would be i'm
possible to get her down that steep
and rocky trail. She cannot be placed
in a wagon, for the reason that no
vehicle could ever get up to that rock
bound fortress. She would break the
back Of any mule on earth. Some
body has suggested that the trail be
converted into toboggan slide and
that the lady of the tin dipper and the
sparkling spirits be slid down the
declivity but Mrs. Mullins has
grown 80 large that it is impossible to
get her out of her house. The door
has remained the same size, while
Mrs. Mullins has increased in girth
and in the favor of the thirsty noun
taineers.
The government officials would glad
ly rig derrick over the house, remove
the roof and lift Mrs. Mullins and her
barrels out of the place. Here still
another obstacle presents itself. They
have no authority either to tear down
the house or to enlarge the door. The
dwelling belongs to Mrs. Mullins, and
the government has no right to destroy
her property.

Down on Lynching.

ATLANTA, Ca, October 27.-Mob
law was severely condemned by Gov
ernor Atkinson in his message to the
Georgia Legislature, which convened
here to-day. The message bristled
with scorching and sensational at
tack on the lawless spirit that fosters
lynch law.in this State. He says that
to exterminate the practice of lynch.
ing the crime mrst be made odious
and shameful. He advocates strin-
gent legislation against the mobs, and
insists that the Legislature pass law
making every County wherein such a
crime is committed subject to large
indemnity to the relatives Of the mob s
victim.
The Northern lynchings are spoken
of by the Governor. Of this he says:
It is no excuse to say that the North
ern people, who have less to provoke
them to it, lynch. Let US not take
them as q standard, but rather show a
higher type of civilization in our State
and erect here standard to which
they aspire.
The Governor is in favor of arming
the prisoners and allowing them to de-
fend themselves from mobs. He says !:
The arresting officer is now clothed
with authority to take the life of she
assailants when resisting their efforts
to take prisoner from his custody,
and it is his duty to take life if neces-
sary to protect the prisoner and retain
him in custody. This he should be
required to do at the hazard of his
own life, or the prisoner should be un-
shackled, armed, and given an oppor-
tunity to defend himself. The knowl-
edge Oh Che part Of the mob that this
would be done would deter it from
pursuing it's lawless purpose, and the
law would be permitted to protect the
innocent and punish the guilty.

The Savannah Press remarks that
the late Henry Grady used to say that
f'cotton is a fool and so it is.
Prices are always low when they ought
to be high, and, in spite Of increased
consumption all over the world and
the opening Of new markets, cotton
has been going steadily down. When
a man sits down to study the situa-
lion or reason the whole thing out, he
will find that cotton will do just the
opposite of what was expected.

The heaviest preliminary work IN
surveying and locating the road in
Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky Tennessee
and North Carolina has been practi-
cally accomplished, and it now re-
mains for South Carolina, and Ender-
son in particular, to fall into line.
It was indifference on the part OF
the business men of Anderson that
lost us the Air Line Road, and the
same sort oe Indifference permitted
the Sea- Board Air Line to be built
south of>us without an effort on our
part to secure it. Men said the road
would never be built, they had no
faith in it; but the road was built re-
gardless Of our want Of faith, and run
ming before our people walked up to
their second loss.
The third and last chance for a
through line is knocking at our door.
Will we we still sit still and do nothing?
If that be our conclusion, then we are
not in it, and deserve what We will

About the sorriest thing extant IS
what we call quarantine as now consti-
tuted. There is no recognized central
authority, and hence it comes about
that numerous conflicting orders are
issued, to the great confusion OF all
concerned. In this day Of interstate
commerce we really need an interstate
quarantine under control of the fed
eral government, to which all local
boards are subject. This is not
against local self-government, for 10
cal quarantine is something each COM
munity can employ regardless Of out
side pressure. But what is needed is
an intelligent plan for the control Of
any disease when once it begins to
spread, and the federal government
can best perform this service. i

Statistics prove, it is said, that in
New York State more crime is COM
mitted by men twenty-nine years old
than of any other age. This fact is so
far unexplainable by the student Of
criminology. A man at that period Of
his life is supposed to be in full pos
session of his mental and physical
powers, and to have complete appre-
citation of right and wrong and their
respective conse4 4uences. For the six
teen years following twe1ty-nine the
percentage of crime is small. At for
ty-fve there is another outburst OF
vil,which nearly equals that accredit-
