AN APPEAL.
Trenton, n. J. May II, 1905.

Trenton, n J. May II, 1905.
GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEMOCRAT.
To the Editor The work in behalf Of ex-
prisoners in our State has assumed crafty
ing, encouraging aspect. In its methods as
we'll as in its results it has passed the stage
of mere experiment. Already number
of ex-prisoners have been turned out of the
prison door, better men and women than
when they entered, and have taken up and
are continuing honorable lives.
The State Charities Aid and Prison Re-
form Association has taken upon itself the
patronage of the work and through spe-
cial committee on discharged prisoners, is
endeavoring to advance it and make it a
distinct feature of philanthropic activity in
our State.
Already appeals have been made to the
enlightened and whole-souled element OF
our people and many have responded.
More Of such however are needed in the
furtherance of the committees plans. The
committee needs to reach every portion Of
the State, for the inmates of the prison
come and go, from and to, every nook and
corner.
We need men and women that will not
fear to follow whittier we are leading. We
need such as will not be too timid to take
an interest in an ex-prisoner, as will be
free from the hallucinatlon that every
individual that is released from prison is
only awaiting an opportunity again to rob,
steal or murder. Ii is a surprising fact to
how persons, otherwise gifted with ilteli-
gence and sound Judgment, show them
selves possessed by this delusion. They
have read of or heard the widely -heralded
instances Of relapse into crime, OF ingrati-
tude towards a benefactor, but they are
wofully ignorant of how the greater NUM-
Der of ex-prisoners are quietly redeeming
the past. And thus it is, that they fear to
extend the helping hand to those that wish
to rise, and after these latter have again
been pushed back into the slough of de-
spond, the good people wonder why this
is so.
The committee needs men and women
who will act as its correspondents in the
counties, cities and towns of the State, and
thus aid in the extension Of its work and
influence everywhere.
We need men that have employment to
give, who will be broad minded enough
not to refuse the chance of honestly earning
his living to man merely because he
comes from prison.
We need also funds. In the prosecution
of our work there are no salaries or com
pensation to those that are engaged in it,
There are however expenses, as there must
be along with every undertaking, and il
the work is to 60 on, it is necessary to have
some funds. We seek contributors.
Will not then, those of our readers, who
can become interested in this work, in any
of the aforementioned ways, communicate
with the undersigned.

AS to the widening of West street, Mr..
Munyan reported that he had been on said
street and there was difficulty in arriving
at expense He also reported that as to
Washington street, there would be fight
as soon as the city touched it, and as it was
for the benefit of Mr.. Cattell he thought
Mr.. Cattell, not the city, should do the
fighting.
Mr.. Cattell responded warmly. He said
it was not for his interest as much as it was
the city's He was tired of haying every
proposition he advanced dubbed "a pet
scheme of Mr.. Cattell's." The only
schemes he had were for the welfare Of the
people, not his own. He would stand no
more insults from this Council.
Mr.. Munyan said he did not mean to
hurt anybody's feelings, but if anyone was
hurt they would have to stand it.
Mr.. Nixon was granted the privilege OF
the floor and made an earnest plea to have
the curb, paving and sidewalk ordinance on
Evergreen aye enforced and hoped Council
would 90 ahead and have the street put in

pie there that it be done.
The Street committee was directed, to

the "back bone" to refuse to in

stay the carnival of crime that

any of his predecessors since

For months past there has
been a crusade against the
crime of murder in South Caro-
lima. Pulpit and press have
condemned blood-guiltiness in
nc. uncertain tones. Law and
order leagues have been formed
over the State with a view to
qu;ckening the conscience of
even-handed justice, and par
ticularly to arouse sentiment
against this particular crime,
so that men who serve as jurors
in such cases would be ashamed
to shirk their duty.
Naturally such influence
brought to bear upon the situa-
tion has borne good fruit. Nor
mally such a thing as a white
man being found guilty of muir
der is a rare occurrence in South
Carolina, and for one to be SEN
fenced to hang is almost un-
known in the annals of our
criminal courts. tsed-handed
murder has stalked abroad, in
solently Haunting itself in the
face of covering justice until
men became ashamed of the
wretched condition into which
s ociety had fallen and as a re-
suit .there are now in South
Carolina six men under sentence
of death, having been convicted
of murder.
We should like to add that
the execution of these six MUIR
derers will in all proba bility
have so wholesome an effect in
rehabilitating respect for the
law and the sanctity of human
life as to strike terror to the
hearts of potential murderers
and give them lpause ere they
give way to their homicidal
frenzy.
But not so. No sooner is a
murderer condemned to death,
than al morbid sentimentality
takes the form and semblance
of the divine attribute of mercy
and begs for the life of the mis-
creant who has forfeited IT te
the law. Petitions are circu
lated and before the day OF ex
ecution arrives the governor is
besieged with importunate pleas
from these misguided zealots
who in their mistaken pity
would defeat the ends Of jus
tice and Adrn loose upon society

COAST Line BUYS
MANY new engines.
IMPROVEMENT In MOTIVE POWER and
EQUIPMENT ALL ALONG The Line.

IOl AVN SP>SA$''
The Atlantic Coast Line, in order
to make better time with all cf their
trains, has recently purchased
from the Baldwin Locomotive
works, &c new monster locomotives.
These new engines will be distrib-
uted over both the first and second
divisions of their system. For the
division north of Rocky Mount
and south of Richmond, 20-inch
cylinder engines for passenger SER
vice, will be used. South of Rocky
Mount and north of Savannah 10.
inch cylinder engines will be used
in the passenger service on through
trains.
The monster type of engines
known as the "trailers" will be ia
ken off the Florence-Savannah run,
and the new cooper heads" substi-
tuted. Engines Nos 3S5-S90 in
clnsive will be assigned to the Flor
encc.Savannah run. These en-
gines will pull 10 Pullman sleepers
and make sixty miles an hour. En-.
gines 391-395 inclusive will run be-
tween Florence and Rocky Mount,
N C, and are the same as the Flor
ence-Savannah passenger engines.
The new engines for the Rocky
Mount Richmond run will be the
29O-295 inclusive. These engines
will pull IL sleepers and make Six
ty miles an hour speed.
The "trailers," which are
now on the Florence -Savarnan
run, will be placed on the
Flo r e n C Charleston Wilmington
Augusta run and will be for
what is known in railroa d circles as
the "shoo fly" trains exclusively.
Some of them will be seat to the
Norfolk and Carolina division as
well.
The 17-lnch cylinder engines that
are now used cn the "shoo fly"
trains will be discarded and sent to
the branch roads of the. first and
second divisions of the system. The
growing passenger traffic and the
continued increase of coaches to all
of the trains on the Coast Line sys-
tenn is the cause of this large addi-
ton and change in the motive pow
er of that system.
In addition to the &C engines the
Coast Line has also purchased a
large number of handsome and
modern passenger coaches for both
their local as well as their through
trains and they are expecting the
delivery of the coaches at their Will
mington shops daily. Unless they
arrive very soon coacLes from other
roads will have to be rented, as
there are no idle ones Oh the system.
