As TO CRUELTIES.
There Ought To BE IL Uniform State
System of Control of COnViCts.

To the Editor: - As regret
table as the alleged cruclties to
ConyiCts by some of the county officials
in North Carolina may be, they can
scarcely come as a surprise to any
one who has given the matter of the
management of conVicts any serious
thought. The Board of Directors of
the States prison, who are i'm a posi-
tion to understand the dangers that
necessarily attach to the present sys-
tenn of handling ConViCtS i'm this State,
have, for some time, seen that cruel
ties such as those alleged to nave
occurred in CabarruS and Iredell COu8-
ties were almost inevitable. Accord
ingly, this Board, in its last annual
report to the Legislature, recommends
ed that all cOnVictS in the State be
placed under the management of a
central board so that i'm the matter
of clothing, feeding and discipline ev-
cry convict should be treated exactly
alike. Every one who has given the
subject of PenalOgy even cursOry
thought realizes that those who are
responsible for the handling of con-
vitcs have to be constantly and care
fully watched in order to prevent bru-
tai treatment.
Under the present plan there are
as many systems of control in force
I'm North Carolina concerning convCts
as there are different counties Operat-
ing camps This should not be. EV-
cry convict in the State should be
fed, clothed and disciplined exactly
alike, and the only way this can BE-
effected is to have all the Convicts
under one management so far as these
things are concerned. Such a system
as this would concentrate responsible
ity: it would place these duties in the
II nf IN GtIl6V of
these things, and would gradually
build up a guard and overseer force
in the State that has been carefully
drilled in the difficult duties it is
called upon to perform. Every county
in the State that now has a convict
camp has a guard force organized out
of inexperienced men who are scarce
ly liable to any supervision. ConVicts
are bound to be strictly disciplined, as
thew are made up almost exclusively
of desperate men, and in order to pre-
vent this necessary disciplining from
degenerating into brutality the great
est care must be displayed in their
selection and training in organizing
such a system with the conviCts scat
tered throughout the counties, but
believe the Legislature might easily
bring wisdom enough to bear on the
subject to- solve it. Under the best
possible methods of handling this class
of people it is difficult to keep abuses
| from creeping in, but it seems to ms
! that a long step towards reducing
| them to the minimum will have beer
taken when the State has adorted
some such mode as that suggested
| by the Prison Board.
Very truly yours.

Proud of Prof. II. B. White.

Franklin Times.
The educational edit of The Raj
cigh News and Observer last Sunday
was a very valuable one as IL contain
ed large amount of reading matter
that proved very interesting to its
thousands of readers i'm this as well
as other states. Every cOGnty Superin-
tendent in the State, we believe hal
write up of the school interests of
their respective counties and in anOth-
er column we give in full what Frank
Inns able and efficient superintendent
had to say of his county. While some
few counties show up little better
than Franklin, yet the Times is proud
of the showing made in Prof. Whlte $
report. The Improvement in Franklin
is marked. and we predict that under
Prof. White and the other school au-
thorities who are holding up his hands
in his efforts to push the good cause
along, much greater Improvements
will take place i'm the next few years
than those of the past few.
Prof. White has the school interests
of the county much at heart ana II
is very gratifying to those who val
ue his services so highly to know that
he recently turned down very fiat
tering offer to go to nearby county,
to take the position as Superintend-
ent. His reply to those good people
was, in substance, as follows: while

dence in me i'm making this proposition
| feel that | owe it TO the good peo-
pie with whom | am now associated
to remain in Franklin. l feel very
great interest in the school work-es-
peciaIly in my own county-and feel
that my efforts have resulted in some
good, and are being appreciated by
my people" Prof. White stands high
with the educators of the state and
the services of such a man are always

To the Public:

consecutive years and the merits and

| that the Keeley Remedies are only to
be obtained at establishments known

State in the Union besides several in

KccIey Institute in the State of North

Greensboro. At all Keeley Institutes
the remedies used are procured from
our laboratory and in all cases they
are administered by physicians who
have been especially instructed by us.
1t follows therefore, that all other
establishments claiming to be able to
sell our remedies and administer our
treatment are obtaining money under
false pTetenCes, and will be dealt with
accordingly. The public are warned
that under no circumstances can

RALEIGH THE DUMPING GROUND,

Do we wish Raleigh to be made the
dumping ground for all the saloon
keepers who have been voted out Of
four-fifths of the towns and cities of
the State? The only hope the For
Saloons folks have of winning if an
election is called is by the wholesale
use of money, most of which will be
contributed 10y men who do not live in
Raleigh. They will send it here to be
used to secure an "open door" to ply
their trade and make a larger market
for their wares The big whiskey
makers wish customers who will pay
big profits and they will chip in and
help.
1t was bad enough in Raleigh before
the saloons were voted out. It Will be
ten-fold worse if they are permitted to
be re-ooened There is but one course
that wisdom dictates: Keep out the
saloons! There are quite a number OF
peopIe in Raleigh who signed the pc
tition to vote FOR saloons" under a
misapprehension, and others still who
signed it without reflection. The tenn
perance forces appeal to all such to
take their names off of the petition
and not precipitate Raleigh into an
election that can benefit nobody but
men who wish to sell whiskey.
